#RIHANNA REHAB NOTES FULL#

Here, over bowls of pasta, Jordan breaks down the making of the new album and what it took to get to Snail Mail 2.0.ДЇirst things first, how are you? How are you feeling? ItвЂ™s been three years since Lush and youвЂ™re just now starting album promo again which must be jarring, especially after this first year. But with the experience comes growth her voice and singular POV has never been stronger. On the record, she tackles new territory head-on - primarily, a 2020 rehab stint (вЂњPost-rehab, I've been feeling so small/ I miss your attention, I wish I could callвЂќ). On Valentine, she proves that sheвЂ™s more than just the teen savant who broke out 18 with her debut album Lush: at 22, sheвЂ™s one of musicвЂ™s great soothsayerвЂ™s, a poet laureate for the indie set who can turn intimate confessions into universal hits, without losing the grit and honesty that first made her a star. Lanza has only worked with one musician prior to Snail Mail, Jordan notes: Rihanna.ДЄll of this: the pearls, the snakes, the dancing, is part of the new Snail Mail. The preppy look comes courtesy of a new stylist sheвЂ™s collaborating with, Alexa Lanza. In it, she wears a cable knit sweater, pearls, and a striped Ralph Lauren button down (the latter two of which she also happens to be wearing tonight). There was some serious choreography.вЂќ In the video, out now, she twirls around a suburban home, at one point adorned with a yellow python that could be sisters, or at least distant cousins, with the one from Britney SpearsвЂ™ iconic вЂњIвЂ™m A Slave 4 UвЂќ VMAs performance. вЂњI took dance lessons for this,вЂќ she says as we both peer over her iPhone. SheвЂ™s just gotten the final cut, having spent the afternoon at the director's Brooklyn apartment, and is eager to see how it turned out.

Her verdict: вЂњso good.вЂќДЄfter digging into our full spread (the order: spaghetti limone, a tuscan kale salad, gnocchi pomodoro, and Diet Cokes), she pulls out her phone to show me something new from her end: the music video for вЂњBenjamin Franklin,вЂќ the latest single off her forthcoming sophomore album Valentine, due out November 5th on Matador Records.

The cash-only and perpetually busy restaurantвЂ™s signature dish arrives at the table covered in parmesan and garnished with a full half lemon. вЂњIвЂ™ve heard about it but never beenвЂќ the Snail Mail singer texted me earlier of the East Village staple when determining where to get dinner (Italian was her suggestion).

Tonight, itвЂ™s Lil FrankieвЂ™s famed spaghetti limone. Lately, Lindsey Jordan has been trying new things.
