“Lana Del Rey’s ninth studio album—perhaps her most puzzling and compelling record to date—captures her listeners and releases them into a California-kissed haze of nihilism and lovesick adoration, wittily and almost sarcastically embracing the early caricatures critics assigned to her. Del Rey seems to swim between genres as the record progresses, carefully weaving together the very fabric of Del Norte County’s essence: dreamy echoes of surf rock guitar riffs, half-spoken twangs of rockabilly, and bluesy saxes all packaged in something so gorgeously and undeniably Lana. Kali Uchis appears as a feature on Lovesick, and toward the end of the record, Dolly Parton graces her voice on the engaging storytelling of I Wear Your Ring When I’m Lonely—somehow, the two features work. There’s even an eerily bewitching solo cover of Hotel California, and it’s one of Lana’s best. Sonically, the record is a refreshing change of pace for Del Rey, but there are certainly little fragments of its predecessors: the fantastical worldbuilding of Born To Die, the numbed introspection of Honeymoon, the sardonic edge of Ultraviolence, and the catchy, distinctly personal writing of NFR.” (the edible hit earlier & I just realized how much I typed—sorry)

It wont be country can u calm down

we would never bully you

As much as I love deeply autobiographical tracks, I'm manifesting honeymoon energy in terms of its abstract/enigmatic imagery and themes. Like I... kinda wanna be confused

as made by @honeybadger

used to know me music video

Her management when she scraps an album 3 days before the release date:

If it is going to be a NFR type album, I hope it's the sunrise to NFR's sunset. A Wayamaya and Lizzy Grant infused album to listen to on the beach on early summer mornings.

ok but if she does release an album this summer I will be lowkey shocked as that would be 3 albums in like 15 months and that just seems insane to me I feel like it will be a NFR situation where she teases her fav songs/ puts singles and stuff out for like a year and releases it next summer since it seems like they are very much still working on it

I've never seen the back cover before, I'm shook! Whenever I see the back cover of an album for the first time I get so obsessed bc it changes my whole view.

I decided to make topic with original concepts of Lana's albums- which songs were on OG tracklists, which was contenders, which weren't If something is wrong or something is missing- let me know and I correct PARADISE TROPICO ULTRAVIOLENCE LUST FOR LIFE CHEMTRAILS OVER THE COUNTRY CLUB BLUE BANISTERS

I think the album will expand on the anxiety that NFR touches upon, and give us something reflective of the state of the world. NFR was an introduction to the end of the world as we know it, Chemtrails was being swept up by the wind and escaping from that, Blue Banisters was a deep dive into the personal past, and LDR9 will be a re-emergence into a world that has since collapsed, and establishing one's place in it.

Her management when she considered to add I Can Fly on BB

It just occurred to me today that Number 1 Angel and Pop2 came out 4 YEARS AGO!!! And Vroom Vroom 5!! It doesn’t feel that long. Oh how she has blessed us

I want her to do a full 180° but if we are getting another "folky" and kinda acoustic album I want it to be guitar driven this time and happy and beachy. Imagine something like Miley's Malibu All she needs is a little beat and some layered vocals and we have another FIILY summer masterpiece moment

Honeymoon is actually her magnum opus not nfr or ultraviolence

I want so much an entire trap/rap project from Charli, she always sound good doing this and it would be interesting to see how much she can create in this genre. (And of course, she needs to put Tommy Cash in this project somehow 👁)

NFR and COCC have completely different vibes, I really don't understand when people say they sound they same.

Please I would die if she ever covered Hotel California. I've been thinking about it ever since that line in GKIT And nice art by the way

Manifesting a chill Waymaya sound with NO piano ballads. Full of lovely guitars and strings. drums and harps. I would even accept burps and farts BUT PLEASE NO PIANO BALLADS

And dont ask to describ the sound because i dont want to be bullied online again

I don't think she should either. Grammys are a scam, award shows, in general, are a scam; they are popularity contest, plain and simple.

no literally… im a big fan of both nfr and cocc and they are extremely different to me. bb is also in its own lane.

I’m always a bit baffled when someone mentions LDR9 could be NFR 3.0, because I really don’t consider Chemtrails to be NFR 2.0… Granted, there is a bit of « minimalism » on some Norman songs, but the stripped down prod is really more proéminent on COCC… and on Norman, there’s the mellotron and California vibes that are totally absent on COCC. anyways, I’m expecting a single by the end of summer.

I’m totally fine with Jack being on board. I just hope they either come up with a different sound (just like Norman and Chemtrails are almost opposites), or they bring back the best elements of these two records (Venice, Mac, NFR, FIILY, WD, COCC, TJF). But knowing her, I doubt the later option will happen.

SHE DEFECATE OMG

Basically the title. For example, I learned not so long ago that Flipside's "intro" is actually fanmade and it's just the real intro guitar looped and reversed I believe As the song is not available on streaming and I don't have the special UV versions I've always listened to it from YT or other not legit places so I was shocked when someone here mentioned it. Another clearer one (that I think almost everybody knows at this point but I see a lot from youtube and tiktok stans) is that the male voice in Brooklyn Baby is not Barrie

They’re at Jim Henson Studios where they’ve worked on songs together in the past such as White Dress, Venice Bitch, The Greatest, and How Disappear x

Dreaming of Nameless Coasts The album cover is Lana sitting on the steps to a vintage beach house in an elaborate gown as it starts to flood.

What if LDR9 is the dark and foggy sister of NFR and it is about NorCal (parallel to NFR being about SoCal) and NC from DNC stands for Northern California. After all we know there might be some songs about San Francisco.

MORE WHITE DRESS MORE WHITE DRESS MORE WHITE DRESS MORE WHITE DRESS

It will be a summer album just like nfr

I couldn't hide my smile from you As I stopped to breathe the exhaust from the tail pipe Wearing nothing but my cut-off blues Gold bikini, chain in the moonlight You're a nice man and I am a na-na-nasty girl You're a nice man and I am a na-na-nasty girl I couldn't hide my smile from you As I watched you struggle from under Little hands are covering up your eyes You tried to drive, but I kicked the steering wheel with my little feet You're a nice man and I am a na-na-nasty girl You're a nice man and I am a na-na-nasty girl Spin me 'round, kiss me in your Chevrolet I can help us make a clean getaway Pretty girls can hoist a bank robbery 'cause I know I got Jesus watching over me I love you more than I have ever loved anyone You know I want to show you that life can be so much fucking fun When you're mine When you're mine When you're mine When you're mine I couldn't hide my smile from you As I watched us sway in between lanes You know there's no better sight than a nosedive in the ocean Triple drains You're a nice man and I am a na-na-nasty girl You're a nice man and I am a na-na-nasty girl

Not happy Jack is back since I enjoyed BB production so much more than his production. Not really excited for LDR9 anymore but let's see what they will deliver. Maybe Jack will surprise me. Praying for an electric guitar driven album too, Mac & VB are great songs actually

these posts one after another i love it here also @PatentLeatherDoOver i actually love u and ur brainso fucking much!!!!

Hey guys! Since there have been so many rumors about me having any sort of involvement in LDR9, I’d like to confirm that, YES, me, Paris Hilton, (real one bc i’m the real one) I am working on LDR9 with Jack Antonoff, Laura Sisk and some random people I don’t know about…

you at 12:00AM when Lana drops LDR9 & has her dad open the record with a twinkling piano riff

single is slated to be released before summer

SHI FECAPE??? IS COMINGGG OMFG

As everyone else has said, it's actually an Emile Haynie sound AKA the "autotuned loon". This is just personal, but I've always seen it as his BTD producer tag lol

I don't want to start shit again but I hope Jack doesn't touch a single piano key for LDR9. That's my only complaint cause I really love what he does with guitars (MAC's ending, The greatest solo, the masterpiece that is Venice Bitch etc.). The production on CG and NFR intro strings are also amazing so I trust them for the next record but the only one allowed near a piano is daddy rick (and Rob obviously)

that mini era was such a serve. always down for more poetry and it aligns w letting bb simmer some more it's perfect

So what I'm hearing is we're in for the serve of the century

Can they accidentally post a snippet Of something

Venice is such a hot girl song, hoping to see its sister soon <33

That she burned a bible Tiktok and its consequences lol. In all seriousness, though, I think there's a lot of fake Lana facts that have been spread because of that app and it's kind of embarrassing

lmao this is me if i decide 2 attend concerts again

I want photoshoots

I find the "original concept" term a bit weird since we have close to no official confirmation of an early tracklist, besides COCC, the inclusion of that Elvis cover in BTD, Y&B in Paradise, Yosemite and the 4 Scrapped tracks and "assuming" an overall sound/vibe to the scrapped tracks themselves. Just songs made during "X" album sessions. However Honeymounz also shared a little bit of the early concepts of Paradise and Tropico on twitter: "A lot of people are asking about the Tropico EP and I thought I mentioned it before but I guess I didn’t, I don’t have the complete tracklist but these songs were 100% going to be on that EP: Body Electric, Gods & Monsters, I Talk To Jesus, Money Power Glory, Black Beauty, Bel Air" "As for Paradise, it still would have came out but with just a couple different tracks, those would have probably been Starry Eyed, Young & Beautiful, and maybe Paradise but I’m not sure entirely"
