What Stevie Nicks thought of the song
The song in question was called “Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems.” It’s a slow piano ballad that could’ve just as easily worked as an album track on a Fleetwood Mac album or one of Nicks’ solo albums. During an interview with V Magazine, Nicks and Del Rey discussed “Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems.” Nicks had many kind things to say about Del Rey.
“You have a beautiful voice and I’ve already learned things to add to how I sing from you,” Nicks said. “Working on your song has changed me forever because I’ve learned from you. We are witchy sisters and that’s it. That’s where ‘Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems’ comes from, because we are trying to ride above all the problems and have hope in everything else, but it’s still a world filled with problems no matter how hard we try to change it.”
Del Rey revealed her reaction to “Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems.” “I’m so proud of the song that we did, ‘Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems,'” she said. “I just love your performance on it. The people reading probably don’t know that you know my longtime producer Rick Nowels from high school, basically.”
