Hello everyone! I am unsure of the rules with a post like this so admins please delete it if it's not allowed. I have written an extensive Lana Del Rey biography which compiles her history from birth until Ocean Blvd using hundreds of interviews. Of course, writing a book is only half the battle, and I am struggling to get eyes onto the publication. So, for this board only, I am offering the book 100% for free. I can send you the epub or the PDF. In return, I would only hope for an honest review on Amazon, but even that is not necessary. Let me know if you're interested and I will message you further details! Thanks

the way she is ALWAYS shopping

Where are the lizzy stans would somebody perhaps fact check this chapter @Surf Noir @lizzyology not "lyrics from Ride"

I Wanna Be With U is still one of Charli’s unarguably the best in her discography. SOPHIE & Charli were just unmatched & knew how to make iconic bangers.

A.G. HUDMO EASYFUN GESAFFELSTEIN & MORE collapse incoming

i miss SOPHIE so much..

people be protective over screenshots but will share leaked material in a heartbeat

do u wanna roll with me?

evidence against this claim

this is so messy I’m blaming Halsey

i find it concerning that they put hope lyrics as ride lyrics

spending the money we gave her on a plastic disc

The fan who posted the photo added a random location She wasn't in Kansas City

I always find that funny because I remember people HATED Rick so much when LFL was released... and now they want him back. The same with Jack after Drew...

At least people won't be able to hate on Jack and ask for Rick to come back if this new version is bad

Well that's the most irrefutable evidence in this entire thread

I honestly feel like they’ve missed their chance for this to be a viral hit or anything at this point, so I don’t get the point in waiting unless it’s being used for something in particular

God they're dragging this out for no reason. The Ocean Blvd. Era is dead, nothings happening, just drop this song so it can be a cute little summer bop

not the lanapedia cameo..

she honestly doesn’t come across “genuine” anymore if that makes sense? like the kim i saw at her concert seems like a different person idk how to explain… the music is worse, lyrics are so much worse, she seems different i can’t put it into words well someone help me out

god just hearing the barbie girl/get into it snippets, learning some of the producers and knowing vaguely what musical route shes going down makes me wish she could work with SOPHIE on this project i just know it would have been so c*nt

Jack is great, 90% of the time his production is objectively good. I do wish he did more of a variety of stuff, like A&W

Lana's team? Competent? Some of you have your expectations set too high. This isn't coming til at least July and we will all hate the new version

I might become a hater of this song if it's not getting released any time soon

??? This is the entire chapter. No quotes no sources. The rest of the page is blank.

"i'm quite pouty, i'm a pouty person" is the precursor to "i'm just a glamorous person"

OP’s post history…

I think Jack is really good and Drew proved to be really great with songs like Let The Light In, people just want to be haters

“to only be for the 5% of fans that are mostly chronically online and managed to get in”

When you go to the glossary of this book to look at the sources all you see is this image

this is so...

"I didn't even have enough money to buy Cocoa Puffs. It's not like I crawled out from under the bridge and got surgery." Forever one of my favorite Lana quotes

genuinely wondering if this is AI generated

Edit: Turns out a third party (DARK LAB RECORDS PUBLISHING) registered it – Lana's team isn't behind this

Easyfun we won

Getting flashbacks to the NFR homemade video trio... that took FOREVERRR to be released She's always insanely slow with releasing videos chaerin b was right!!!!

we should move this thread to Rumours

okay so as you can tell by my profile pic i'm a big fan of the X triology lol, X reminded me so much of Texas Chainsaw Massacre which is one of my favorite movies and Pearl reminded me so much of a Hollywood tragedy that we all can relate to, or at least i can (if you exclude the murders lol), dreaming of leaving your small town and hoping to do bigger things then your parents, it kinda reminded me of that girl who jumped from the H, the cinematography it's so good too i think Ti West is amazing and, of course, Mia Goth is out of this world i truly believe she's Oscar material ANYWAYS im super excited for Maxxxine and the first movie still just dropped i actually saw a bts of this scene being filmed in the last two weeks i think, there are tons on tiktok, this made me super excited i have big expectations

lanaboards user legotrip showing up to the new york times bestseller list for his factually incorrect lana del rey unauthorized biography

the ice cream play-set in the back is so lizzy grant

Not ldr buries lizzy ?? 😭😭

rest in fuckin peace queen

excluding 90% of your fanbase isn’t girlboss babes

i have a feeling this will be her most insane work ever…. also the way she is literally working nonstop even though she was talking about taking a break snfndnshdhb but i‘m sure she‘s thriving

I think it's frustration and desperation, though desperation might not be the right word. Maybe desire? Determination? She's *so close* to a breakthrough. She's *so close* to setting some records. She's *so close* to moving into the center lane and off the shoulder in her career. She's been working at this for over a decade now, and just *now* we've had a spark hit with the 'Unholy' feature. I can understand the push to turn that into a fire. Now, *none* of us fans, stans, and h8rs know what's going through an artists mind - short of an explicit "Hi, I'm X, and this is EXACTLY what I think and why I think it" statement - but if I had to guess, I just think there's a level of tiredness, mixed with a desire to "make it", over everything she's done thus far. She's had how many cancelled projects now? She's had how many PR flubs and Twitter oopsies? (that seem to have come from frustration at criticism?) If it was me, I'd be putting myself on a lil autopilot here and there just to get by and keep grinding. She signed her career to someone who is subsequently a poison pill (Puke), and is constantly getting beat over the head for it. She's got those shame bells ringing all the time. She's got fans clamoring for music and leaks and snips and scraps of projects. She's got pressure there on both the supply side/demand side to handle. To veer into the political - she's a visible (if she wasn't before, she sure is now after 'Unholy') transwoman, with her story and her transition being very publicized and talked about from an early age. There's a lot of pressure and focus on that aspect of her - that minority stress isn't ever going to go away. Next part I'm putting behind a spoiler/TW just because it's a sensitive topic (physical appearance/body critiques) What mainstream, have hit the radio, in the public eye trans artists are there? None to come to *my* mind, save Petras. And when Queer artists do hit the mainstream, or get close to it, there's always this risk of them being a novelty factor, just a flash-in-the-pan moment in pop culture, where they're everywhere for a beat, and then it's diminishing returns and then a fade out to being the LGBTQ+ locals favorite. Nobody wants that life, I wouldn't think? But how do you avoid that? There's pressure there, too. Like I said - she's been at this for a decade. She's had how many cancelled projects and flopped rollouts during that time? She's signed to/with someone who historically (like it or not) has been a hitmaker, but the hits are...where? She's not getting any younger. There's a degree of stress on urgency there. There's a degree of stress unique to her by being an international (from Germany, remember) transwoman, on top of music industry stress as a baseline. Label wants this, label wants that, etc. etc. I can see were, reasonably, someone would start to wear thin from frustration from the industry, frustration from choices that were made, frustration from getting recognition (Unholy) and then it going nowhere, or not going anywhere as fast as anticipated or promised, and I can see where that would start to reflect back into our quality of work. And I say frustration specifically as a root note for all of it, because of her basically saying "w/e yolo listen to Problematique leaks I'm fucked and not allowed to release shit anyway". That sounds very "frustrated and giving in" to me. It's like - do you double down and commit to the grind, even if it means you have to sacrifice some parts of yourself, if there's a chance you come out ahead in the end? Or do you just throw up your hands and change course/level expectations and go a different route/approach? Not an easy decision when you have so many factors at play, and your work and public image is going to suffer no matter which route you take. Not trying to defend anything, or promote anything - just my thoughts on where the perceived quality drop could be coming from and what could be feeding into it.

Whole life changed 7 years ago…

why is nothing going right?

i feel kinda sad for her bc this video is so… not her? the absolute negative chemistry between her and the guy at the end whoever is styling her needs to be fired, always choosing the most unflattering stuff for kim to wear
