I was reading the replies of Anthony Fantano's tweet asking for fans to post questions to ask Mike Dean, and what I've gathered from a lot of the questions is: - Mike Dean often works on his music when he's under the influence of marijuana. - The electric guitars we hear on his songs are actually auto-tuned (which is really, really cool). Knowing that Lana has often implemented psychedelic elements into her music makes me wonder if his production with her will also be trippy or "far-out" in that sense. His work with other artists and his solo work definitely has that touch of psychedelia, even within a more hip-hop-esque sound, but since Lana's brand has consistently been rooted in the 60s/70s, I could see him fully leaning into a more electric-guitar-heavy soundscape. Psychedelic rock was obviously born from/popularized by musicians who often were under the influence of psychedelics, so all of these things considered, I would love if Lana and Mike leaned all the way into that summery, late 60s sound, but with a touch of something more contemporary. I think there's a lot of room for passion within that sound in general, and since Lana has implied this album will have a bit of an angry edge to it, I can envision songs that are both lighter/happier in nature and angrier/rawer in nature still being cohesive within that genre.

nvm lets go delulu SONG OUT ON 21ST THE QFTC ANNIVERSARY, HIPHOP ROCK BOP ABOUT REVENGE FEATURING ROCKY

the era starting on qftc anniversary week - she really said revenge

I remember years ago under one of her videos (it might’ve been Bel Air? or Paradise trailer idk) she had a quote in the description that read like “I lost my reputation, I forgot my truth, but I still have my beauty and I have my youth” and that’s exactly the energy I want from this record

I don’t think anyone mentioned it yet but BoZ said on atrl that the era will officially being in two weeks??!!!!!!

Era announcement and QFTC2.0 sitting in her Insta drafts knowing they’re the talk of the summer

*video starts* [Lana talking from afar] Now that Doja Cat, Ariana, Camila, Cardi B, Kehlani and Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé have had number ones with songs about being (...) and they all walk in. *sound of someone walking in heels approaching* Lana is in the front, wearing a minidress and big ass heels. *She’s Not Me but produced by Mike starts*

ANNOUNCEMENT (allegedly) ON QFTC ANNIVERSARY DATE!! THE COLLAPSE

BLUE is the color of the banister I LOVE

The new era starting in the QFTC anniversary and BOZ saying "I can't believe she's doing that" (and he said it's not about the music) makes me think she is gonna refer to it

I’m so excited! These 2 weeks are going to fly by. There’s always something special about new Lana music coming out as summer rolls around. Last summer was so much fun with all of us talking about Chemtrails so it’s even better that there’s new music to accompany that this time around!

This is so surreal that I feel dizzy just trying to imagine it

Blue Banister single release on May 21st and album preorder on the same day, album release in July, let’s manifest

I hope it’s RCS I hope she sings about wearing no clothes, being sexy, fucking, AND cheating i hope she cusses out major publications and Alt singers and female writers I hope the cover is her wearing a mesh mask and i hope the video is just her driving reckless

I FEEL SOMETHING IN THE UNIVERSE. Something very unexpected. I'm feeling a double album. TEAM DELULU.

what if in 2 weeks Lana will post a third variation of the selfie with a caption SUGARY SWEET CANDY ON THE STAIRS ALBUM OUT SEPTEMBER 20TH

you can't yap about wanting her REVENGE~~!uhu~h album and then get scared that she might acknowledge QfTC, don't be pussies

if she makes a qftc anniversary post...

I can already see the articles coming in... "The Summertime Sadness singer Lana Del Rey dropped a new single earlier today after being heavily criticized for a her "Question for the Culture" Instagram post a year ago and wearing a mesh mask during an ongoing pandemic."

14 days 15 midnights

she always drops/hints the catchiest track of the album. but it's usually contrast to the actual album. BTD - Video Games HM - HBTB NFR. - Cinnamon. COCC - TJF LFL? - Love. but what was it? an album with higher bop to ballad ratio summer bummer groupie love white mustang lust for life titillating piano KEYS cherry in my feelings Blue Banisters? a ballad. BTD??? Video Games -> LOTSA BANGERS.

omfg it’s so weird how all of this is coming into fruition in time for QFTC’s bday because literally LAST NIGHT i had a dream that lana posted an igtv video titled “question for the culture 2.0”

why can't BoZ just say "bitches the single and the pre-order are dropping on May 21st"? like...

I still want the lead to be called ‘God Bless and Fuck Off’

That’ll be pretty close to the anniversary of QFTC, which would be quite fitting.

TWO MORE WEEKS TEAMDELULU

I'm manifesting 12-14 pls Lana make it long and beautiful. I'm thirsty for some meandering, complex piece

Said he'd come back EVERY MAY......... Blue Bannisters in may confirmed!!!

Vinyl plants workers when they get the 4th Lana album to press in a year and the 1357th email from fans asking about them

when she's reading qftc in paper in the beginning of BB MV YUP YUP

Omg Not on QFTCs birthday... let me dig a wartime bunker and hide in it for the next 7 to 10 months

The Friday in 2 weeks is May 21st and we all know what happened on that day last year Maybe the new era starting on that day this year will reverse the energy brought from last year and this era will be her best one yet

do we think boz used the squidward licking a popsicle pic as a clue? maybe the cover is from the day she took that blue popsicle pic...

Double single showing two opposite sides of her artistry/personality to commemorate QFTC? Yes please!

If the era really starts in 2 weeks I hope it's new music and not just the announcement. I can see it going like this: - Sometime next week we get the single announcement (maybe with album preorder but I don't think so). - May 21st we get BB with its music video. - Mid to late June we get the album announcement with the preorder (and cover + tracklist) maybe with the single with the high budget video directed by Colin Tilley. - Finally, the album is released either hot summer nights mid July or mid-late August (cause Billie is releasing on the 30th and they are both signed to Interscope). I don't know if the second single could be coming with the preorder or with the album but I hope we get no more than 2-3 songs. If the album comes after July I guess they have time to push 3 singles like they did with Chemtrails. It's hard to speculate with Lana cause every era is lowkey a different mess (I still get exited every time and the music never disappoints tho).

The way I can see her doing this even tho she didn’t post anything fir the 10th anniversary of videogames

if she samples the video response to QFTC i'm deactivating.

Blue Banister Question For The Culture - Fragile Feminism in Twenty One Century for Woman Like Me is coming

My guess: Aphrodite saw the 2 weeks rumor as previously mentioned above, saw that May 21st is a Friday and made a a guess that Lana will drop something on that day. I can already see the countdowns starting in the next couple of posts...!

When no one asks him about anything LDR

idgaf what she does anymore but I want a rough sex anthem and a stoner anthem

To be honest, I think it's more likely that she will follow through with July 4th than not. Here's why - 1. We have confirmation that the era will officially start in two weeks. That would be exactly 4 weeks after she announced the release date for July 4th. I don't know if 4 weeks is really a lot of time to change plans when so many manufacturers/companies/people are involved. 2. Lana has said during the LFL and NFR eras that she likes to "put stuff out when [she's] almost done" a record. A single is probably going to come in 2 weeks, so the album is probably being pressed to vinyl right now or is about to be. 3. She announced the September 5th date for Chemtrails in May, nearly 5 months before it was supposed to come out. The first single for Chemtrails didn't even come out until October, nor did she preview anything beforehand, so there wasn't anything concretely released until AFTER the original release date (plus, pandemic delayed things) 4. She's previewed the title track and has mentioned working on this album since November. 5. She likely knew that the pandemic would slow things down a bit (as it did with Chemtrails) if she didn't get ahead of it, and it seems that she did. 6. She's starting the era approximately 44 days before the album is supposed to be released. That is a similar pre-release length (in this case, meaning first single leading up to album release) to UV and HM, albums that could also be considered a very quick recording process (UV being 2013-2014, HM being 2014-2015, and BB being 2020-2021). If it doesn't come on July 4th, then I'd still imagine it would be out before the end of this year - and that's still very quick, considering we got an AMAZING 11-track album less than 2 months ago.

I want the exact energy she had when she took the blue popsicle pic . I want something spicy , badass and caustic

I think the fact that the era is beginning on May 21st, exactly one year after QFTC, means that everything this time around is way more deliberate. Putting thought into something as simple as the day you announce/release something is a sign that the big things will be planned that meticulously as well. I’m not expecting a huge delay, then, and I think her working with a producer whose work could be categorized as more “commercial” suggests that the rollout would try and go for that too. I’ve never minded delays or Lana announcing things that don’t come to fruition, and I’m always happy to wait for an album, but this album coming so quickly after Chemtrails makes it seem like there’s an urgency to get out and do things a certain way. Telling her own story seems to be really intrinsic to who she is and it’s almost like it’s aching to be shared with the world

Just emailed a couple of vinyl/cd plants if they're gonna receive any new or have heard about any new BB shipments or some shit, I'm so bored so hopefully they'll reply and take away my pain

They accused me of being a vulture When I put out my Question For The Culture I ain't not-not a feminist I'm the board, the lightning, the thunder Posting things that's gonna make you wonder If I've been appropriating - leaked lyrics from the first track on Blue Banisters

Lol this so messy but I'm lowkey here for it. I think she has her reasons to be mad / pissed off and last year I was kinda glad she finally talked about it after so many years, I just wished she did it differently. I hope she learnt a thing or two, cause she did mess up, but still I want her revenge.

MANIFESTING IT WITH YA I was thinking why French Restaurant is sooo much better than all Jack's piano flops even if that song IS a piano one! Say whaaaaa 1. Piano sounds much deeper and with little echo (I don't know how it is called) 2. There are many layers of Lana voice and background ones - The whispery ones really does the job! 3. There are of course STRINGS which can evolve any piano flop to the next level! 4. There is some consistency lyrically-wise and mellody-wise So if Lana wanna do some piano songs, better she looks at that oldie song of hers - also manifesting it!!!
