Lana, if you read this: quick, drop the cover + preoder. It's very easy to exploit my bank account in this vulnerable state your singles put me in

i still maybe think she had a photoshoot in the moment of this selfie and honestly i wouldn't complain at all, the place looks beautiful, brings me back to paradise photoshoot vibes

Text Book really does keep getting better with each listen

If people let's start criticizing this photo, she will use it as the album cover. Reverse psychology, let's go! lol

The thing that BOZ said about don't be negative about the release tells me that this is a calculated and planned/spread-out release where she is releasing in maybe... cycles? and the first ones out are the three most narrative ones all intertwining a theme about her past and herself. And this first cycle there is no interviews, no posts, no promo because they are her most personal songs yet and she knows the news and media will ask her about her mother, abuse, and the picture she is using, which she doesn't want to elaborate on...these songs were for the fans. a quiet release to begin telling her story. Now that this is just the beginning Im expecting as we move closer to the real release she moves on and release the lead that may not be as personal or revealing. And We most likely still have a high budget video coming since she followed colinseyes.

It’s funny to remember how upset I was with the single cover for MAC, how I felt that such a great song deserved a better cover, and that I’m almost indifferent to it now. Lana picking selfies as single covers is like a new tradition now, I know it’s gonna happen so I don’t have the energy to complain about it anymore lol.

HOT FIRE , HOT WEATHER , HOT COFFEE

Stop lying to yourself this selfie is the worst visual she ever released, even cocc cover is better, the fact she changed all of her Sm to this shit... The embarassment

Lana uploading that selfie on social media and using the same selfie for the single covers

the fact that Wildflower has way less streams than the other 2..... yet.. is easily the best of the three? Mike Dean SERVED on that track.

I mean I wouldn't mind this as the cover tbh just get some groovy font for the title and her name done

It’s interesting to think how comfortable Lana felt with Mike Dean to sing about such personal things on their first work maybe the weed helped

I am not really surprised by the low numbers of the three singles. The songs are excellent, but to release three songs at once with zero promo, the songs need to be bombastic to speak on their own and to appeal to the masses. The three are so introspective, and I guess the « casual BTD listener » doesn’t click with them?!?

she changed her youtube profile pic as well

poor honeymoon

Jenny jumped into the pool

I just can't stop listening to WW. I don't understand people that say the non-Jack production didn't bring any change to the sound. Her voice is so much clearer, the are so many layers, it all sounds so much wider and more melodic. I love it so much

I feel like if you liked hope is a dangerous thing you’d appreciate these songs. If not then they’re def not for you.

I think her management have just given up now tbh. Remember it was Ben who forced her to do a better cover for NFR and it turned out so amazing, especially compared to the shit she was going to use. Lana seems to just be doing whatever she wants now visually tbh, these new single covers are genuinely hideous. Edit: just saw her Billboard pic, LOL guuuuuurl, she takes pics like my Grandma posting on Facebook before she died.

Maybe I'm the one to blame: I'm sorry

At 71, he directed 18 episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return, some of his finest work. I'm sure that he will continue to invent as long as his heart is beating.

After listening to the three tracks, I would love if the album cover was something simple, serene, and muted. I think it would be really fitting to have the visuals contrast the very intense lyricism but also reflect the classicism of the production/sound. This album feels like it’s going to dive into a lot of the psyche prefacing Lana Del Rey as we know her, so I think a simple portrait would be perfect. I made this “painted” one - I think it matches the music well

And all their children's children

"Miss Your Ultraviolence", "Bloody Moon", "Lost my Lust for Life", "Where's Norman?", "Let Me Touch Your COCC" The cringiest fake titles we've ever witnessed girlies

The quality of these songs with good headphones is mind blowing, something about her vocals on BB sound so good and ugf these tracks have taken some time to grow on me but they are hitting really hard now.

i'm really digging mike dean and zach dawes/gabe simon's production. i'm praying that the album is full of songs produced by them and no jack at all. these songs truly feel like pre-NFR lana is back.

Not Shazam sending me a notification telling me "we tried again and we found Blue Banisters by Lana Del Rey". Maybe they noticed me shazaming the snippet like 5 times a day for the last month

I'm still very intrigued and wanting to know what BOZ meant by just the beginning and I can't believe she is doing this. There was a theory I believe I saw on twitter where it said she would release songs in threes up until album release. Do I believe that, not really. It is an interesting concept though. I don't think it's traditional to release a full album before the "release". I guess we will just have to wait and see. I def think the lack of speaking/promo is a conscious choice. The theory that it's kind of a fuck you to the media would make sense, in a sense. We all know how headstrong she is! In regards to the label/mgmt caring or not, as others have stated they have other big acts that are the pop push artists. I feel like Lana is just kind of an auto pilot artist for them. They know she is consistent and has a very strong following. They know no matter what she puts out it will be successful. She doesn't have to do much to make them and herself money. Are there probably conversations about her doing more, most likely. Again though, she is very stubborn. I can maybe see them being used to this and just kind of picking their battles lol! As far as the new songs, I have had them a cple days and I can say they are all three so meaningful and beautiful. They evoke so much more feeling then a lot of her recent tracks and I am so fucking excited. I think it is funny how WW was the one hyped up most but the other two are def standouts to me. I'm leaning towards BB being my favorite but it does go back and forth between it and TB. There is just something super special about BB though, it really hits. It is just so heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time.

I have a theory, it might be a reach but I want to share it anyway. Her title tracks have always either been the first or the second songs on her albums. And I see her albums as pairs: UV is the follow up to BTD (the consequences of fame and how destructive it can be, while also being in a unhealthy relationship). BTD is track 1 and UV track 2. Then there’s LFL as the follow up to HM. HM is the idealisation of love, but again it didn’t work and LFL being her journey to go from the black to the blue and figuring out why she couldn’t put her life together in the past. HM is track 1, LFL track 2. And finally, there’s NFR, COTCC and BB. Unlike her other albums, I see these three as a trio. NFR is an insight of her daily life, daily thoughts, she started being really introspective with this album. NFR is track 1. Then she released COTCC, where she reveals more of her past and continues the introspection. COTCC is track 2, and the album is clearly a continuation of NFR. But here’s the thing: I think BB will be the continuation of the two previous album, being even more introspective and expressing even deeper things. If NFR is her daily life and COTCC more about her past and her relation to fame, BB will be a mixture of both. Which leads me to think that for once, she’ll break the pattern and BB will be track 3.

That synth in the background of wildflower, the one you kinda hear focused on the end / 3:27… this could be her magnum opus album…

Knowing that the last song for COTCC was written in February 2020, it's interesting to note that by the time we first knew about Chemtrails, Lana's headspace had already shifted to these new songs. Her going blonde, the Interview Magazine video, QFTC, Behind the Iron Gates....all of these things seem to be motifs that will run throughout the album. I wonder how Lana felt about releasing an album as idealistic as Chemtrails when the reality as it was coming out was anything but. That must have been a real dichotomy and I guess that explains all the uncertainty surrounding it. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the crazy year we've all had will weave its way into this record. I can tell it's going to be soul-crushing, earth-shattering, a real journey. I loved Patent Leather Do-Over as well - it truly is a "magnum opus" when it comes to her poetry - and the writing on these 3 songs is incredible. She really tapped into a new creative vein of introspection amidst this pandemic. This record + the next poetry book are just going to be a new peak for Lana. I am soooo excited!

Okay I’ve been living these songs and living for them the last two days. But I finally sat down and listened a few times while reading the lyrics and wow… oh wow oh wow. Miss thing really served us 3 masterpieces didn’t she ???

bringing this back... so do we still think these are poems or possible songs from this record?

It’s weird how she went from one of the most visually creative artists inspiring tumblr to where she’s being laughed at now.

She may have deleted her posts from her profile, but I just saw this Sponsored post from her account on my timeline posted about 7 hours ago -

I honestly don't blame Lana for not wanting to post about the songs. I'm not a fan of the single covers, but I imagine it can be tough to have all your comments bombarded with "Change your album cover!" "WHAT ARE YOU DOING OMG' and things like that. I've somewhat mentioned this before, but these singles were really intriguing to me. They could either be telling everything about what the album is going to sound like or nothing. With her working with producers like Mike and Zach, I know there's a lot of ground production wise there that she could cover, and I'm really hoping that she does. Lyrics wise, I'm hoping for more songs like WW

The name drops are terrible. We've had enough with Sean, Joni, Joan, Stevie, Cortney, and now Jenny and Nicki Lane. It's a little embarrassing and each new one dilutes all the others.

the July 4th release date is just iconic - Lana being known as americana obsessed and making July 4th about her... it just screams iconicry to me

I‘ll pray for you, Kathy, you and that disgusting mouth of yours

Madonna posting stories with candies and now captioning BLUE on the instagram. I know the colobration rumours are just rumours but I believe she and Lana probably encountered during the studio sessions, and that's when Lana started to follow her back. Madonna is hanging out with Mike Dean, Sage Skofield and Sean Solymar for her tour's sound mixing.

To the ones saying that COCC tanked, here are the current daily streaming numbers of Spotify: NFR 930‘000 COCC 720‘000 LFL 560‘000 HM 330‘000 UV 680‘000 BTD 1‘700‘000 Now here‘s the deal, cause you wanna talk about it:

If anything, the BLM mention is to relate to Sean and the height of QFTC when her entire relationship with him was being criticized since she was a “part” of the problem. Then there’s the constant reference of her dad, she almost adores him in every way and tries to search for someone to his stature but in a way the same type of man is the one who constantly betrays her, maybe in the same way that Lana feels betrayed since he’s still married to her mother whos a person who has constantly contributed to the harsh self image.

I'm sorry these songs blow cocc out of the water both production wise and lyrically. And the single covers are obviously a publicity stunt. tiktok blows up every time she uses that selfie

yall we need to stop making fun of those terrible made up song titles, the 7yo girl who wrote them is SOBBING. y’all are cruel! Won’t somebody think of the children?

Waiting for the day that my beloved HM will shine

The more I listen to Text Book the more I love it That chorus is really classic Lana with a new twist.

I love COCC but there’s something about WW that keeps me replaying it like no other song on COCC does…

i still wanna know why she hates graphic designers. and photographers. and decent management. who hurt you, ms. grant? it's ok, you can tell me

I agree 100%. I think she knows 99.98% of her fans base hates it, so she's doubling down and using it as a cover 3 times. Just like she doubled down 3 times with the Question to the Culture mess. A real management team and a label who cared would have stepped in by now and stop her from making these ugly covers, but like I said before, the label doesn't care and Ben and Ed just want to get paid. It's the sad reality.
