daddy nowels give us another heroin

i geniunely don't understand people who are members of this forum, yet say such rude things about lana, she's just trying to be positive & show gratitude for the happy things in her life, sheesh...

i definitely think ldr9 could be similar to lust for life, possibly the "og lust for life" sound of lust for life (demo 1), heroin, yosemite, serene queen, valley of the dolls, & if i die young, since she's been very introspective lately, i think mike dean could further develop this sound with synths & hip-hop beats! i can definitely see this album being a "return to form" which is reminiscent of honeymoon, lust for life, & even born to die!

It’s officially been a year since she graduated to Omnipresence. On the first day, it almost felt unbelievable. No matter how many times it was said I just didn’t believe it. I couldnt face the pain of losing my hero. And today I’m so happy to have existed at such a lucky time. To witness the metaphorical birth and loss of such an impactful artist is truly something i will never take for granted. SOPHIE girl, i cant express how grateful i am…for every value you made me reign, every question you made me ask, and every emotion you make me feel. The world might feel empty without you, but it can be so full because of the vision of love you leave behind. I know myself and so many others will lead our lives in your honour. Loud, proud, and tits out girlfriend! Miss u so fkng much EVERY fkng day NEW WORLD ORDER. NO MORE GODS, ONLY SOPHIE!!

what would you do when you are okay so he said yes would go

manifesting og lust for life 2.0

CRASH gonna be album of the century methinks. Good Ones the only single that wowed me tbh but I just feel like this album overall will be very excellent, based on absolutely nothing. But I am right.

As sick of Rick as I was in 2016-17 I’d love for him to come back and do a full album again

I just wanted to stop you and let you know that you have the worst energy I've seen this week.

Are you trying to win "biggest lana hater" on the next lipster awards or something?

It'd be so interesting to hear a full mix of Drew Erickson, Zach Dawes, Emile Haynie and Rick Nowels production on an album. I think that her work with Mike Dean is kind of up in the air at this point, and I think the same goes for Jack right now lol

PERMISSION TO FREAK OUT?

Sky In March - sorry guys I was just about to drop off my record at capitol and I was attacked by a cougar 🤕 my masters are all scratched now so have to record it all over again!

Literally what is wrong with some of you guys? She probably just thought he was being nice and appreciated his comment. Besides, not everyone is going to view the “universe” the same way as you

Didn't her official account look exactly the same?

for some reason this conversation reminded me of this dead reddit meme template

I would kill for something like New Person, Same Old Mistakes

If we got Rick and Emile work on the same album again, I'd be convinced I was making it up because it just sounds too good to be true

in before the “N” in DNC stands for Nowels which means the D could be Dan…ULTRAVIOLENCE 2.0 INCOMING but what is the C?

You couldn't let us have this moment could you bestie? kjsdlfdkjlk

I remember when the news broke it felt so surreal like I just though it was going to be a twitter hoax the thing that makes me so mad is how despite her extremely prolific artistic career so little will be carried on to the future generations... all her talent and all her artistry locked away. so furious

I don't think we're getting a long break from her. She deserves to rest of course but she loves to write and record music, it's not like it's her label making her pump out records every year. Maybe we are not getting the full thing this year but I'm sure she'll release a single or two (even though I still think LDR9 is coming this September )

This thread is obviously just for fun. 1. PRE-HISTORIC PERIOD, MMV—MMX Early experiments and drafts. Some ideas were taken and/or perfected afterwards. Themes of love, innocence and loneliness. Notable works: "Yayo", "Pawn Shop Blues", "Kill Kill", among others. 1. Lana Del Ray a.k.a. Lizzy Grant Simple, bright compositions, focused on mood and melody rather than words. Recurrent colors: yellow, orange, white and black. 2. CLASSICAL PERIOD, MMXI—MMXV The original Lana Del Rey sound. Known for its emphasis on visuals, aesthetics and vocals. Image often more important than meaning. Themes of doomed love, drugs, mystery, desire, status, sadness and death. Notable works: "Video Games", "Born to Die", "Summertime Sadness", "Blue Jeans", "Young and Beautiful", "Ride", "West Coast", among others. a. Baroque Era 1. Born to Die 2. Paradise "The Baroque style is characterized by exaggerated motion and clear detail used to produce drama, exuberance, and grandeur. Baroque iconography was direct, obvious, and dramatic, intending to appeal above all to the senses and the emotions." Recurrent colors: blue, red, white and gold. b. Romantic Era 1. Ultraviolence "Individualistic, emotional and dramatic; A turn towards the mystic; a focus on the nocturnal, ghostly and terrifying; discontent with formulas and conventions; the use of new or previously not so common structures; a greater tonal range." Recurrent colors: black, grey, white and red. 3. MODERN PERIOD, MMXV—MMXVII Also known as the Retrofuturism era. A shift towards the latest sounds and visuals. Known for mixing the old and new, inclusion of different collaborators, abstract concepts and synthetic production. Themes of self-discovery, escapism, the future and the world. Notable works: "Love", "Cherry", "High By The Beach", "Get Free", among others. "Diverse reactions in challenging and reinterpreting older categories of music, innovations that led to new ways of organizing and approaching harmonic, melodic, sonic, and rhythmic aspects of music, and changes in aesthetic worldviews [...] Its leading feature is a 'linguistic plurality', which is to say that no one music genre ever assumed a dominant position." a. Early Retrofuturism / Minimalism 1. Honeymoon Total emphasis on voice. Abstract ideas. Older sounds from the Baroque Era subtly mixed with newer trends. Recurrent colors: light blue, red, lilac and green. b. Retrofuturism 1. Lust for Life "Retrofuturism may be summarized as the future as seen from the past and the past as seen from the future." Continuation of the previous sound but more emphasis on new-fashioned production. Subtle political discourse. Recurrent colors: red, white, blue and green. 4. CONTEMPORARY PERIOD, MMVXIII—present Also known as the Singer-Songwriter Era. The new Lana Del Rey sound. Known for its humorous, poetic lyricism and stripped-back production. Elimination of older ideas, images and sentiments in turn of newer, more personal interests. Emphasis on words and musicality. Themes of everyday life, adulthood, trauma, sociocultural issues, friendship and family. Notable works: "The greatest", "Venice Bitch", "Hope Is A Dangerous Thing", "Mariners Apartment Complex", "White Dress", "Dealer", "LA Who Am I to Love You", among others. a. Postmodernism 1. Norman Fucking Rockwell! "Is, on some level, ironic; challenges barries between high and low; shows disdain of the often unquestioned value of structural unity; considers music as relevant to cultural, social and political contexts; includes references to music of many traditions and cultures; considers technology as a way to preserve and transmit music; embraces contradictions; presents multiple meanings." Known as "The album of the end of the world" due to its apocalyptic nature. Recurrent colors: blue, red, white, neon green and brown. b. Postminimalism 1. Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass 2. Chemtrails Over the Country Club "Postminimalist works are usually everyday objects, use simple materials, and sometimes take on a pure, formalist aesthetic. Steady pulse, general evenness of dynamics, without strong climaxes or nuanced emotionalism." Vastly interested in escapism and existentialism. Recurrent colors: white, black, grey, green and orange. c. Casualism 1. Blue Banisters 2. Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd "A new type of postminimalism that features a self-amused, anti-heroic style. Interested in a studied, passive-aggressive irresoluteness that reflect wider insights about culture and society. Works might appear unfinished or incomplete, intentionally awkward, physically fragile and unstable, rejecting the display of conventional skills." Notable for the random, unpolished nature of its lyricism, composition and vocal styles. Recurrent colors: blue, brown, beige and yellow.

As annoyed as some users are over the NFR 2.0/3.0/4.0 discourse, my pet peeve is the hate for piano. In and of itself it’s a beautiful instrument and I think you bring up a good point that relates to arrangements/mixes. It would be great to see piano arrangements introduced in more clever, interesting, and innovative ways in the overall mix. I do agree that the ballads we’ve received thus far are overly simplified/reduced to piano-only (even though I love them tbh) but I look forward to hearing the ways Daddy Rick makes a sonic comeback on LDR9

HONEYMOON 2.0 is closer than ever.

OMG RICK IS BACK This is to good to be true We won besties, we won big time Streaming Honeymoon right now to celebrate this amazing news

Beg For You is about to debut in the UK’s Top 20?? Am I dumb or is that very very good

jack produced 99% of nfr

I can't allow myself to believe this is real bc if its not I won't recover. BUT she was just with Emile... Imagine.

thank you for your artistry, SOPHIE. I will always love you and miss you

Lana when she hasn't used piano in 5 consecutive tracks I agree. It's not that piano use is bad, it's the way they used it in her most recent songs.

Rick, Emile and Mike what a trio.

I think it’s a decent month. It’s not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.

a Rick comeback? What did I do to deserve this on this fine Sunday afternoon

I'll never understand why people only come onto this site to talk shit about Lana, especially when they claim to be a "fan" right after. There's a fine line between being critical of an artist you like (which there's nothing inherently wrong with) and being straight up hurtful. There's a lot of people who have a tendency to cross that line. If you're on an online forum for fans of an artist calling said artist stupid, should you really be on that forum at all? The same goes for people who body shame her and then claim they love her.

i need her to fully explore the sound of the second half of LFL, and those unreleased bc oh my god.

We got three very cohesive albums since LFL, so I wouldn’t mind if LDR9 had many producers, especially if it’s a summer album. Plus the songs Rick brought to NFR and COCC meshed very well with Jack’s.

i feel like ldr9 is coming this year, if not even more material (such as the 2nd poetry book, or the nikki lane collab album)

Daddy Nowels (is) Coming to slayyy with LDR9 At this point I think Lana would only take a break if she got pregnant and was starting a family. That woman starts working on the next album before her most current releases.

Society when the NFR (insert number here).0 thing stops being said

RICK DON'T FAIL US PLS I want Emile and Ricky to make a whole album with Lana. Imagine the history comes full circle

maybe we're getting lfl 2

EVERYBODY MOVE

https://twitter.com/vcchng/status/1487823642994286592?s=20&t=cngc8E6dsr3UJ92ve9lzsA Seems real????

When we get AKA 2.0...

Yes. Halifax and Geidi sound like her just playing around, which is fine, but Visions really sounds like a proper body of work.

considering how much has been leaked and the talents of some lipsters we could honestly make a better re-release than interscope could provide
