Fans were confused when Taylor Swift released the “Midnights” song, “Snow on the Beach.” The song included Lana Del Rey, but fans complained they could barely hear the singer on the song.
After listening to fans, Swift released “Snow on the Beach (Feat. More Lana Del Rey)” in May. Del Rey sings the whole second verse. Del Rey told Harper’s Bazaar Tuesday, November 21, that she influenced the song’s first version.
“That was actually the song Taylor wanted me to sing on. If I think someone’s song is perfect, I will act as a producer in it,” she explained. “I can mimic almost anyone, so I am all over the first version of ‘Snow on the Beach.’
She continued, “I layer and match her vocals perfectly, so you would never even know that I was completely all over that first song. She wanted me to sing the whole thing, but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
In an earlier Billboard interview, Del Rey said she didn’t know she should have contributed more to “Snow on the Beach.”
Do you hear Lana Del Rey on the first version of “Snow on the Beach?”
