Welcome to the Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread Annual Discussion & Meltdown! On July 3rd, 2021 Lana Del Rey posted the following image to Instagram, seemingly the album cover for Blue Banisters, with the caption "TBD" In early March of 2020, Lana revealed to MusicWeek magazine that she is working on two albums, one of which she already has a title in mind for. “She’s already got two albums in mind, I think,” says [her manager] Ed Millett. So, are there already words or titles that Lana is homing in on? “Spending so much time in a close circle of country music friends, I could see one option for a title coming from that,” she hints. “I also have a secondary title I like that summed up 18 months of my life.” What we know so far: - Lana originally announced the record 'Rock Candy Sweet' in response to an article by Harpers Bazzar, where she stated she would be "Challenging those thoughts [about her career being built on cultural appropriation and glamourising domestic abuse"] in her upcoming record. In the same announcement, she also stated that she "wants revenge." - Producer Mike Dean will be working on the project. In an interview with Fantano, he confirmed he was working on songs for her upcoming record. When asked if he was going to incorporate either piano & strings or synths in the production, he stated "I would mesh them both I think. You got to stay true to the original, but you can definitely do your twist on it, you know?" - The first three singles from the album titled 'Blue Banisters', 'Text Book', and 'Wildflower Wildfire' are rumoured to drop on Thursday, May 20th according to a reliable insider. The singles are said to all have the same car selfie as the cover edited in different ways. - Other producers/composers that are involved include Gabriel Edward Simon, Sage Skolfield, and Sean Solymar. - The album will be piano-led and features many "pretty ballads" as per an insider. -The album will contain more than 11 tracks as per an insider. Potential tracks: - Blue Banisters (snippet & accompanying music video teaser uploaded to Lana's Instagram on April 28th, 2021, released on May 22, 2021) - Text Book (originally revealed by reliable insider, released on May 22, 2021) - Wildflower Wildfire (originally revealed by reliable insider, released on May 22, 2021) - Arcadia (snippet & accompanying music video teased uploaded to Lana's Instagram on July 3rd, 2021, title revealed by insider, was considered for the album title, Lana posted Easter eggs of her at a Hilton Hotel in Arcadia as per the song's lyrics) - Rock Candy Sweet / Loved You Then and Now (originally the album title, alternate song title revealed by an insider after spotted on the original Chemtrails Over the Country Club written tracklist framed in Electric Lady Studio, may have been scrapped.) - Dealer (scrapped track from Chemtrails Over the Country Club) - Cherry Blossom (revealed by insider, unreleased song originally recorded in May 2013 and leaked on May 1st, 2019, lyrics shared from the unreleased song by Lana in an Instagram post on March 22nd, 2021) - Thunder (revealed by insider, unreleased song originally recorded in 2017 with The Last Shadow Puppets & leaked on June 15th, 2020) - Fine China (revealed by insider to have been considered for the album, unreleased song originally recorded in November 2013 and is considered an Ultraviolence outtake that leaked December 25th, 2016, may have been scrapped) - Living Legend (revealed by insider to have been considered for the album, unreleased song originally recorded sometime between 2012-2013 and is considered an Ultraviolence outtake that leaked on July 27th, 2020, may have been scrapped) - Wild One (revealed by insider to have been considered for the album, unreleased song originally recorded in 2012 & 2015 and is considered a Honeymoon outtake that leaked March 31st, 2021, may have been scrapped) - I Can Fly (revealed by insider to have been considered for the album, originally recorded in November 2013 and was officially released on December 23rd, 2014 as a part of the Big Eyes movie soundtrack, may have been scrapped) - Unknown Outtakes (revealed by insider, may be around 6 in total including the possible unreleased songs listed above, one outtake to include writing credits from Barrie James O'Neill)

Lana on June 1st

WELL..... let the clownery commence ?

fuck, we're here

21hrs ago "I'm kinda happy" 14m ago "I want revenge"

remember when she tweeted the rock emoji last month and deleted after 2 seconds and we all thought it was about yosemite?

But it's funny how some things just change in a day, or even in an hour

Holy shit Lana knows about LB confirmed holy fuck. i'm shook to the goddamn core so who is she on here.....

Someone associating you with the Neo Nazi movement by media outlets over a tone deaf post would make anyone go crazy. Let's stop pretending that she doesn't have some right to be angry.

June 1st is probably like her dentist appointment she doesn’t want to forget so she announced the date just so her fans can constantly remind her about it

Sorry- I was bored lmao

But that article was gross af associating her with Nazi movements she has all the right to go off and call them out. Actually she was too nice imo she should've called them more names, they deserve it

so... we all agree it's not gonna be called rock candy sweet and it's definitely not coming on june, right? let's outsmart her this time

not the twitter idiots saying she’s just trolling to be petty ??? anyways, to porove she’s not and she’s probably not lying like last time: - she never made an official announcement post on insta when she mentioned the september 5th date in qftc but this time SHE DID + she gave the title - zach dawes produced dealer, which she kept last minute BECAUSE she knew she’d release her angry rock magnum opus a few months after cocc - ben confirmed that she worked with zach on the cover album AND a second unknown album with “a personal title that reflects her last 18 months experiences" WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY ROCK CANDY SWEET omg - her keeping the cover album and dealer, both zach produced IS NOT A COINCIDENCE BOOKMARK THIS YALL

Title change

EXCLUSIVE: The director of LDR Village has reached out to LanaBoards directly to announce to you all in advance that the LDR Village will be having an event at Melrose Trading Post in Los Angeles, California on Sunday: March 21st, 2021 from 9am-6pm. The event will be held at booths B108 & B109. To take a peek at the merch that will be offered at the event, check this thread or visit the online LDR Village experience.

I’m expecting a 4000+ page pre-release thread

I have faith she’ll come through to be honest! First of all, “September 5th” was embedded within a long statement and wasn’t even the whole point of that statement. “ROCK CANDY ? SWEET June 1” is literally the caption her latest post - it’s direct and right there. She’s always stayed true to the dates she’s given in written accounts, AKA captions on social media. Plus, she’s definitely been working on this for almost a year! She never stops writing, we know that! And the bulk of Chemtrails was literally done within a five month span in 2019. I think she’ll come through!

not her being "kinda happy" yesterday now she's full of rage

Chemtrails being the 11-track light and Rock Candy Sweet being the 11-track dark

“I want revenge” on her story THE REVENGE OF LANA DEL REY

Lana: "yk at this point ive usually got 4 songs for my next rwcord ready ://// but i dont this time around" also Lana: "new record out in 2.5 months see you then xx"

Me looking up flights to LA

this album better serve experimentation and heavy beats, you can't do a revenge record and have it be piano or acoustic guitar driven

Cocc is already retiring bye it was nice to know u for one day

You might be into something And the dragon! IM A DRAGON YOU'RE A WHORE

JUNE 1ST LADIES,

I can't this is too much. I'm trying to get ready to go see my friend tonight for his birthday but instead I'm sitting on the floor with one eyelash on, already looking to run an hour late, still processing the fact Lana just announced another album. My wallet is literally never going to recover. But y'know what.. so here for it. ROCK CANDY SWEEEEET!!!! X

yeah June 1st is the new September 5th but I LOVE IT

Watch lana bully ben into producing rectangle vinyl and cd cases

The @/tapmusic account on IG did, so I guess so

@IanadeIrey girl get those album cover maker tools ready i'm sensing you'll do sumn with a title like Rock Candy Sweet

If this were to be the concept.... THE SERVE

I'M STILL IN AWE W/ THE "AND I WANT REVENGE" SJDJSKDSJF

you guys asking if ben or ed know about this lmao y'all know damn well she decided this title and release date less than an hour ago

It’s Roses Bloom For You’s time

Here’s to our shortest pre-release thread

lana right now writing QFTC 2.0

Lanapedia editors rummaging through her discography to find any reference to rocks and candy rn

i bet shes at her house like this right now

Elle! This is such exciting news and it’s insane that they reached out to you! <3 making moves, I see you girl

QFTC aftermath really is her villain origin story

the way she hasn't received this much negative press since 2013... which is what caused her to make ULTRA LFL - BTD 2.0 COCC - HM 2.0 ROCK CANDY SWEET UV 2.0 CONFIRMED

lana: i dont have anything for my next record lana: ROCK CANDY SWEET JUNE FIRST

Also fjskjdks her dramatic ass Instagram post saying she’s going away only to announce a new album TWO POSTS LATER

This woman has projects coming out of her ass, she's like a pez dispenser

ROCK CANDY SWEET OUT JUNE 1ST
