I don’t dislike Drew per se, but I do think his solo work with Lana sounds a bit uninspired/one note, but that’s not a Drew exclusive complaint. I think Country Roads is absolutely beautiful, but it’s basically just piano and I think if Lana would have enlisted Drew or Jack to help Zach it would have been elevated a little bit. I think Ocean Blvd is a perfect example of that, a good number of songs have more than one of her producers working together and the songs sound so carefully crafted. I hope Lasso has more of her producers working together, and I want Luke to have a big hand in the production since he’s a Nashville country producer and I think that’s what Lana needs for Lasso to feel as authentic as possible

And with "🖤🖤🖤", not "😍🚀❤️", something's def in the air

Both Arcadia and Country Roads, Take Me Home are hitting hard right now… I know many of you don’t like Drew, but I hope he is involved on at least one track on Lasso (although he’s been busy with FJM lately, working on his new LP).

Oh something is definitely brewing: Tap reposted her selfie in their stories 👀

.

Lana was right in the Chemtrails bts video

or maybe she's just not putting out good music also it's nobody else's fault but hers that she chose to work with a rapist

NFR album was amazing and beautiful, but that pre-release era goes down as her worst one ever. It was a torture. That was like a drought in the Sahara desert with no food, no water and no map. We didn't get any useful crumb of information at all and even the media spread fake rumours about that March 29th date Well yeah, she dropped Hope and Doin Time but she literally said nothing what's happening next. There weren't any interviews as well (before the album), only the Italian Vogue interview which was only for promoting Violet. The only teasing part were those effing snippets on Instagram (funny thing is that she teased like 75% of the album before the release, Happiness Butterfly had like 3 snippets lmao), these were like the only crumbs we held onto but she posted these without saying anything, so I remember being lowkey afraid that maybe these songs won't appear on NFR (Roses Bloom For You flashbacks). Thank god, these songs did appear. I love Lana with all of my heart but I hope that she'll never repeat that kind of drought that was NFR's pre-release era. Although, I remember reading the rumours that the album was delayed because "Fucking" is in the title but as we know now, it was fake. At least the album was worth waiting and that 4 month post-release era was fun as well while it last *cough* until she cancelled the European tour and COVID came *cough* So my point is that this Lasso pre-release era cannot be compared to NFR! at all, it's less torturing and painful. Even COTCC, BB and OB pre-release eras went ten times smoothly than NFR pre-release. But I do think that Lana is maybe more careful with dates this time? In the COTCC and Banisters era, she somehow confidently dropped dates like it was actually going to drop (September 5th, June 1st, July 4th, also January 4th for Violet) but like we know nothing happened. We just know the month but not the exact date. Perhaps, it's a scientific experiment with Lasso

oh you weren't around for nfr were you… baby it was HELL! waiting practically 1 entire year between the lead single and the album was more torturous than any other antic of lana because it's harder to wait once you get a taste

I feel free'er now that I've checked this thread only three times today because every day since the "announcement" I've been visiting here like three times an HOUR

if you have to ask, it’s fake

lana teasing Lasso on IG post iktr🙂‍↕️

the mold is starting to resonate with me

This reminds me of her biggest faux pas saying “listen like you listened to video games” and made everyone think Arcadia was going to be on par with video games

I fucking swear that I dreamed that the tracklist and 8 songs from Lasso had l-worded.They were the 8 tracks produced by Jack bc someone had hacked into his computer. 8 out of 32 total tracks yes I am boarding the delulu train

@Embach summed it up perfectly, how painful NFR was. Plus I’ll add that when she posted 10000 snippets through October and November, without any indications of the album coming, I thought she doing the same as in the LFL era: posting snippets weeks before release of the album… which wasn’t at all the case. To me, whenever we start to hear music, this is when I can’t wait. True, we’ve heard a snippet to Henry, but I guess I must know the drill by now that it doesn’t excite me as it used to (sadly).

An album full of God Knows I Tried, Yosemite, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, Old Money and Tomorrow Never Cames would work wonders for my soul

I agree it's always been a good song i never understood why people say its boring, it's literally beautiful like are we not hearing the same thing? Then again these are the same people that say Beautiful is boring and Bartender is good so they're tasteless wbk

Higher then other albums for sure, but absolutely not set in stone even slightly

happy for you sis, the July 30 meltdown had me worried

she tweeted something like "shooting a music video in nothing but a mink coat" during her career's early years (2010-2013 or something) and it was rumoured to be for Cola but the video never came out and was never brought up again edit: found a screenshot of it the photos at the bottom of the tweet were also used for the scrapped cover art for Cola, which was originally planned to be released as a single

Nothing will ever be as bad as NFR and that’s a fact. HIAB snippet in early 2018, MAC/VB and album title in September 2018, Hope in January, Doin Time in May, TG/FIILY randomly leaking in July because the release date changed and they couldn’t be bothered to tell google and YouTube, the “album in a few months” comments at her shows, and EVERY single song having a snippet by the time the album came out. I do wish she wouldn’t have posted Henry so early, because it’s turning into this era’s happiness is a butterfly/Tulsa Jesus Freak. Idk why but I’m still hopeful that something will be released this year

It was the absolute worst, made worse by the viciousness of some of the routine attacks here. I'm so glad those days are over. I'd rather get no news and no snippets at all than "I really don't know when it's going to come out" from Lana and two singles released a year before the album itself, and then reversals and incorrect information. In the broadest fashion possible, I think she's learned not to over-promise. Is she the most mercurial artist ever when it comes to statements about releases? YES.

more like 99.95/100...

I bet yall 1 unleaked Lizzy song that willow trees are gonna be a reoccurring motif on the album

I miss the delusion of OB pre-release can we bring back the insane double album theories

She can do everything she wants to in terms of music, like any kind of sound or lyrics with any kind of producer and I'll respect that and I'm sure I'll love it. But I need Dan Heath back. Even for a one song. A country song with a twist of an orchestra would be good, wouldn't it? But it doesn't even have to be for Lasso, just even collaborate for a soundtrack for a new upcoming movie. I miss his contribution. I just need his epic orchestral vibes back...

I don’t actually dispute this, video games just holds such a special place in my heart as it was the song that made me discover Lana and I still remember how I felt listening to her for the first time! it’s hard to beat pure nostalgia and a fond memory, so nothing could’ve been like video games to me

It's lowkey a tradition that she's sharing (at least) a one snippet in each era since LFL. Like I know that she teased bunch of snippets in LFL and NFR but in COTCC she teased Tulsa Jesus Freak, in Banisters she teased the title track (with the scrapped Clay video) and Arcadia, in Ocean Blvd she teased Candy Necklace and now she teased Henry Come On. Tough too but that was released later.

Tbf we are quite lucky as it is nowhere near as bad as NFR pre-release (even tho we were getting singles the wait was very very long) I just hope if this album is delayed she officially announces it SOON because it’s been over 6 months now since the announcement and pretty much nothing has happened. We’re lucky to have a snippet! But I think she needs to start the rollout within the next few weeks or the next month otherwise it will drag on ridiculously. Also this is exciting!!! I think something’s definitely coming soon. Maybe not as soon as we think or maybe literally tomorrow who knows! If she decides to surprise us then it would be very fun

in terms of music, no. AI just comes off as lazy imo. Lana is so passionate about the quality of her work, I’d be surprised if she ever used it. Preferably no AI from any artist, especially her. Her work is so personal AI could never create the art she does

oh she's dryyyy desert imagery next level i see

i'd still say nfr gives me nightmares where i wake up with palpitations

LARCHMONT VILLAGE SMELLS LIKE LILIES OF THE VALLEY AND THE BOOKSTORE DOORS ARE OPENING AND IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING EVER SINCE I FELL OUT OF LOVE WITH YOU I FELL BACK IN LOVE WITH ME AND BOY DOES IT FEEL SWEET, LIKE A SUMMER BREEZE EVER SINCE I FELL OUT OF LOVE WITH YOU I FELL BACK IN LOVE WITH THE CITY LIKE THE PARAMOUNT SIGN SPARKLING, SPARKLING JUST FOR ME

It would be an insult to not only her fans but herself. She doesn’t need AI, AI is not authentic.

The thing with BB is that the songs individually are amazing. I love listening to WFWF, BBS, Thunder, etc as standalone songs. As an album it just doesn’t click for some reason. Idk why.

I don't want to get anyone's hopes up but I just randomly checked Lana's followings and I noticed that she started following an art director called Amelia who has worked for quite many different magazines (including Vogue last year) and with photographers such as Petra Collins. I mean, maybe she followed her because she likes her work but maybe there is a new photoshoot soon, who knows! Art directors also work for music videos, maybe it's something we could expect!

Lasso is Rock Candy Sweet In Disguise

Bartender slander... Imagine how tired we are.

periodt

wasn't she assaulted by him when she was 18? that was 19 years ago, we can't expect her to remember every single detail of what happened that day

Ten years ago she did rare performances of Money Power Glory and Fucked My Way, cmon do something fun and unexpected please

GARGAMEL ALWAYS WINS

in fact it was much better

I agree about what she meant by the Video Games comment, and while I didn't care much for Arcadia when it was released, it's grown on me more than any other LDR song and I love it now.

Lowkey yes because everyone misunderstood that. I think with this statement she meant that listen to it like you listen to an unknown artist. Because she was unknown to many when she dropped Video Games. This reminded me of that Arcadia cover art as well and that was...something. But Henry's cover art or that polaroid really reminded me of NFR/Violet era when she changed her whole Instagram layout to yellowish filter photos.

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG. Thanks for reminding me.

Thanks. I hope she will randomly show up. That would not surprise me that much

people hate to see a woman get her diet pepsi on!!!! stream addison rae saviour of pop music

she’s rising…
