The thread these last couple of hours

I just don't understand what's so difficult to wrap one's head around the concept that Lana releases music for herself and for music, not to release the biggest "chart smash" or to appease others and that's okay. The fact that she continues to go the less obvious route by releasing The Grants instead of something like Taco Truck should be the most glaring example of that

girl we don't give a f about anyone's review unless it's hers

from the woman who sang he hit me and it felt like a kiss and got hated on by the critics for "glamorizing abuse", now she singing about catching covid cause she is horny and with her man so her fans criticise her for... glamorizing covid? stay tuned for LDR10 where she talks about her intentions being misunderstood...

I got COVID with one of the guys I was seeing and we saw each other again after testing positive because what else are we going to do? might as we’ll be sick together and make out. shes realllllll for that

People who aren't listening to leaks: I admire your willpower, you're doing amazing. Don't give in and listen to these muffled low quality leaks like I am. You're gonna love it

They were so right omg.

Let's review the clues he gave us... “personally I’m happy as fuck” Weird, but ok. "I jumped when I learnt the news so let's get the hype going!" Valid response to jail time, just not getting the hype. "The album is not surprise dropping tonight and none of y'all are guessing it right, just wait" Literally nobody guessed it. "there is no surprise second album, or any new music project coming already" "No, this is something not related to any Ocean album tracks" Maybe not from Lana, but maybe Boz gets his Johnny Cash live at Folsom Prison moment. ""But for once, they are doing something right, for the fans" Ok, you're wrong for it, but i see where some of you would strongly agree here. I didn't want to believe it, but....

realizing it's gonna be out next week

have to cancel my vinyl and merch orders because i unexpectedly lost my job today. :’( the grants has really been helping me through this difficult day in my life.

Not y’all comparing the dark, eerie, folk song turned bop A&W to The Grants Of course A&W had better streams. It’s a lot catchier and has way more replay value. And I say that as a Grants stan

if this is the surprise that bozo made such a big deal about i’m flying to poland and beating his ass

OH MY GOD Lana just followed rich lee who shot the music videos ( love ) & ( lust for life ) high budget mv’s r coming

BOZ from his jail cell I’m sure

im gonna say something and its gonna be a little deranged but i wanna say it before anyone else does

??? weird

QUITTING MY JOB IN ONE MINUTE WISH ME LUCK LANABOARDS

I saw that copyright thing happen with other random unreleased tracks so it's probably just honeymounz thirsting for attention once again

Ugh, the three singles are SO heavy thematically... this album will be so so intense

im happy yall loving this slutty bop... mod note: use spoilers

I say this respectfully but we gotta stop comparing every Lana song with a beat to Tulsa Jesus Freak Peppers sounds nothing like it.

Peppers has the same energy as the photo of her and Jack outside the jail

I can’t believe we are only 9 days away from the official release ! So close

when lana releases "Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd: Pearl watch me on ring a bell psycho lifeguard Edition" Track 1: Pearl, Watch Me Track 2: Ring a Bell Track 3: Psycho Lifeguard Track 4: Say Yes To Heaven Track 5: I Talk To Jesus Track 6: Fine China Track 7: I Can Fly Track 8: On & On & On Track 9: Roses Bloom For You

How can some of y'all see a problem with everything tho... She's literally just saying she has been kissing that person so she probably got it too, how in the world is that disrespectful? I doubt people in 2023 are going to drag her for that, literally no one will care except for the 10 woke twitter users as always

The Grants isn’t a bad single choice, they just wanted to show how versatile this album (and Lana) is. Ben and Ed posted a picture of the album with these captions: “new ldr song, ‘the grants’ , a different world from A&W but another piece of beautiful songwriting from a special album coming March 24 […]”. / “Beautiful new song ‘The Grants’ out now. Demostrating how diverse and inventive this record is @/honeymoon is incomparable”.

another beautiful day on LB

the back to back Rocky Mountain High John Denver & Don't Forget Me Harry Nilsson interpolations are so brilliant, the synergy of it all there is the overarching/general theme of memory which ties it all together but then she tackles two separate thoughts on it in each track: remembering vs forgetting, specifically: wanting n choosing to keep the memories of her loved ones VS. fearing they won't (want to) keep theirs of her & sonically, it's also beautifully paralleled in the way "like Rocky Mountain high, the way John Denver sings" & "Don't forget me" both get echoed throughout the entire songs in their choruses but build bigger & turn into something grand towards/by the end, of course with the help of her talented background vocalists. there's something very symbolic in that too i think, like these are such important things to her (remembering her loved ones/being remembered by them) that she can't help but get louder & almost "shout" it out to make her point undoubtedly clear. it's very passionate actually. tldr: The Grants & Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd are just such perfect sister tracks & the way by using those two 70s songs to help convey her own feelings on the matters, in turn she also made us remember/take note of them 50 years later is this sweet little bonus. i wonder if she knows that 50 years from now the world will also still be listening to hersorry for the articulation skills on level -5000

it's not you who's outgrowing Lana, it's Lana who's outgrowing you because you missed to accept her change of style

gonna ramble a bit here on the grants so just ignore and scroll pass if you don’t want to read long scattered thoughts. there is so much depth to this song oh my god it’s unbelievable. there aren’t a lot of lyrics here but the lyrics that are present convey so much meaning and so succinctly and perfectly that honestly i think any more lyrics would just muddy it. i know a lot of people don’t like it when she sings about her family and to a certain extent i get it! but i personally love it like i maybe i’m just uncultured but i don’t know any singer who touches on topics like overcoming familial and generational trauma like lana does (i guess bjork does it a little in songs like quicksand and ancestress but not as in depth as lana does). it’s so beautiful and inspiring and i really relate to it as someone overcoming my own “karmic lineage” and just trying to be a better person. trauma in a person looks like personality; trauma decontextualized in a family looks like family traits. like there’s literal proof that trauma passes down your bloodline and i’m trying really hard to heal so i don’t pass it down to my family and maybe i’m just being silly but it’s so cool to see someone like lana talk about it openly like it’s just such a brave thing to do idk. ok ramble over sorry for cluttering this thread oops

so I cried for/with tunnel. didn't w A&W, but cried again on the grants. so beautiful. she's singing about that generational trauma n tid tid tidbit on how tunnel sorta mentioned not to be forgotten, it completely built on the theme of rebirth. connected w sweet carolina from BB, to the Grants, it's like a beautiful, meaningful portrait of a world and sound.

DON’T FORGET ME

First era since lfl that i like every single and im excited for the album. Maybe a top 3

I don’t think you are outgrowing Lana’s music because you are still here. You just aren’t GROWING with her music but it’s okay you will get there eventually!

The real MVP is Jack Donoghue let’s be real Lana absorbs the personality of every boyfriend she has. If she was still with Clay we would be listening to the LDRXNikki Lane album right now.

The fact that this hasn't leaked yet is the true surprise. Now I have a house guest arriving the 22nd-26th but I have warned him of the significance of the week LOL

Jon Batiste Interlude didn't leak, it's an edit.

MY SISTERS FIRST BORN CHILD 👶

she probably wanted to since it's one of her faves but i imagine interscope took one listen and said you are lucky we are letting you release it at all. different times back then

we're in single digits.....NINE DAYS.....IT'S ALMOST HERE

pressing play on did you know (deluxe) and you hear: walking is an art so is my body

so i'm kinda gonna say smth a bit personal, but basically, perhaps like some other gays on here, I was raised religious, and of course, that's complex. but when I was younger, we'd sing hymns, and I was being trained to be the lead singer and sang reglarly for the congregation cus they liked my voice. there's definitely a condemnation goin on, and just lots of bigotry etc. but ever since I heard Lana sing, her voice and styling reminded me of how they'd sing at church, and the vastness of what she sings, I think it kinda has this glorious euphoria, and spirituality more recently that feels more loving and enveloping. an unexpected comfort from queen baddie, the range. and also, the lesson that humanity's still got some glimmering beams of hope for not being a total asshole etc. w the depth of tunnel, the wiles and heat of aw, and the straighforwardness and courage of the grants, this has honestly been one of the most spiritual and healing album cycles. spiritual or not, i think we all as people have a lot of inner work to do as a people, and it's great to find something to align and relate with, in all shades of awareness. moving humanity forward well.

I get what you mean in the sense that this is her first "big" album since then but I also think everything that's come since NFR are important stepping stones to reach this album, I don't think Lana was ready to explore some of the stories that she's telling now. Violet came first and was her first foray into more experimental performance, and then Chemtrails allowed her to wander the countryside aimlessly as she tried to figure out what comes next, and then Blue Banisters had her start digging into her family history. I think all of those experiences were really important for her to reach the point where she can explore her family and her life as a whole in the really theatrical and incisive way we seem to be getting on this album.
