600 pages of hope and dreams and pure delusion is hardly nothing

this is my 7th pre release experience and it never gets easier i fear

This thread still saying Out September 2024 is so funny, imagine being a casual fan stumbling across this site and seeing that and getting so excited for a moment Perhaps Elle really does know something we don't

me pretending I don't care about the release so it drops faster

i hate to be that person but i miss being an angel pre-brat era

1. Intro (The Full Horror) 2. Rawwwwww 3. Plunging Asymptote 4. The Dome's Protection 5. Reason Why 6. Live In My Truth 7. Why Lies 8. Do You Wanna Be Alive 9. Elegence 10. Berlin Nightmare 11. Gallop 12. One More Time 13. Exhilarate 14. Always & Forever 15. My Forever 16. Love Me Off The Earth

Why do people lie about stuff like this? You crave attention that much? Not only is is frustrating as a fan to get your hopes up and have them dashed like that, it’s also particularly rude in this instance. Especially on her birthday. Have some respect.

We know a Lana album is never going to drop on the initial release date given and/or the date Lana herself says it will. To me, once an album is announced, it's best to just forget it or its single(s) until it/they actually do drop. The NFR! release burnt me out, and I learned my lesson.

It’s my first time being part of a Lana album pre-release, and I’m already traumatized

….it’s not too late to delete this

Ok this is giving me blurred Ocean Blvd tracklist realness

Am I the only one that thinks including that in a fake tracklist for clicks is totally disrespectful to Sophie and her memory? And on her birthday????

Hello KitKats and sane users of Lanaboards, I come with yet another exclusive abloom review and inside-her tea for y'all, this time on one of my most anticipated releases of the year. CRUSH: I think you've all heard the chorus of this, but the verses are at least listenable. It's a synth driven, thumping dance track. She's serving a high, girly voice - a flirtatious vocal performance which I prefer to her belty shtick or "sexy, c*nt-fident" vibes. Although the lyrics sound like they were written by a teenager, even more than the rest of the alboom. 2/5 Even all the birds are singing Yeah I, I got those palpitations, those boom-boom-booms I'm on a new vibration Yeah I, I need some medication, your ooh-ooh-ooh I need no explanation Is it a crush, making me blush? ARTIFICIAL: This sounds like a Kim Petty song (just like the rest of the album), it has a similar vibe to brr/BAIT. There's a darker hyperpop sensibility that Katy tries to pull off but fails. I guess it's not too far from some of the urban/r&b leaning songs she tried to do before, but her cringe vocal performance and personality prevents any sort of cuntiness from being served. And yes it sounds like Gorgeous too, which we've all unfortunately heard bits of. 1.5/5 Artificial, say what you're thinking Do you put emotions over reason Are you gonna love me like a human Can you touch me in a simulation Who's gonna save us from losing our minds Oh you're so dangerous, devil in disguise TRUTH: This one is extremely, disgustingly boring. This is my least favourite as it serves the most filler on an alboom full of fillers. I truly believe she AI'd this one, because there's no other reason why pop music is being desecrated like this. 1/5 You treat me different Tell me what's going through your mind You act so distant Who you see when you close your eyes I wanna know the truth, even if it hurt-hurts me ALL THE LOVE: Yet another cheesy, empowerment style song with a dancier mid-tempo production. I'm honestly out of words to describe them at this point, as nothing new is being offered to my ears on this repetitive, saccharine, almost AI'd journey. I can't decide if Truth or this one made me plead in agony, "Katy Perry please stop." 1.5/5 WONDER: This one sounds like a classic Stargate song, there's a euphoric euro-pop quality to it. This is the least offensive out of everything I've heard and it would have probably smashed in 2013. Acoustic guitars on the chorus, synth driven, thumping beat, it's a nice listen and a cute song for her daughter. But nonetheless extremely dated and nothing new from the queen of cheesy empowerment songs. 2/5 Be heavy on your wings Stay pure, beautiful girl, woah Don't let the fear in the world Burn out what you believe Cause one day when we're older Will we still look up and wonder? Overall, an incredibly generic and dated offering with the most surface level lyrics you could ever dream of. Each song sounds like a copy-paste of one another with minimal variations, sometimes she tries to serve "c*nt" on songs like Artificial and falls flat on her face. Though I think her fans will enjoy and hype mid tracks like Crush and Nirvana (the latter being my 'favourite'), there's zero artistic growth being displayed on here. She is phoning it in and pandering to gays on demos that were probably leftover in Ava Max and Kim Petras folders, in a desperate attempt to revive her and Dr Luke's career. I genuinely think there are much better cuts on Whiteness and Smile, while 143 is exactly the musical junkyard that we were promised with Woman's World.

NOTHING COMES CLOSE TO THE PAIN AND SUFFERING FANS WENT THROUGH IN THE GREAT DROUGHT OF NFR FROM SEPTEMBER 2018 TO JULY 2019

Perfect day to drop a single LANA!

Message from her family: “Music and the future were always at the centre of Sophie’s world. From a very young age Sophie was taken to music festivals and raves, and it was the electronic sounds and futuristic rhythms of mainly underground dance music that really appealed to her. She was greatly influenced by the early work of artists emerging at that time such as Orbital, Moby, the Prodigy, as well as some more established acts like Pet Shop Boys and Kraftwerk. Those formative memories continued to inspire Sophie throughout her life and her own career. As her love of electronic music continued to grow into her teenage years, she began to focus on her own experiments in music making. Especially drawn to synthesis, Sophie spent many years honing her skills; pushing the limits of what was possible, striving to create the shiniest, most metallic snares and the bounciest, bubbliest bass sounds. Moving into the 2010’s Sophie wanted to create something new and futuristic sounding, while maintaining her energy and endless sense of fun, something severely lacking in dance music at the time. These experiments culminated in Sophie’s seminal collection of singles ‘PRODUCT’. While touring her own sets, as well as starting to produce pop music for other artists, Sophie and friends began developing ideas for her next era. With it she would introduce a more performative element. Until that point a publicly shy and retiring figure, Sophie emerged from the shadows with the ‘It’s Okay to Cry’ video. With the subsequent ‘Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides’ album and corresponding remix album and live shows, Sophie lets us into her world more, as we travel through space and time on a sonic adventure. SOPHIE, the self-titled follow-up album, though always intended as a more accessible, more ‘pop’ sounding record, undoubtedly maintains Sophie’s uncompromising and infinitely ambitious outlook. Made with her brother and many of her closest friends and collaborators, the album sits somewhere between a SOPHIE live show in the clouds, a massive party in her recording studio and the sweatiest club you’ve ever been to hosted by SOPHIE and friends. The future has always been a big part of Sophie, and we hope Sophie continues to be a big part of the future. As always with Sophie, exactly what comes next and what shape it takes remains to be seen. One thing is for sure, there is a lot more still to come.”

Hundreds of pagers exploded simultaneously in Lebanon and Syria, reportedly targeting people affiliated with terrorist group Hezbollah. Some of the dead and injured are innocent/civilians. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Hezbollah blames Israel https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/09/8-dead-2700-injured-after-simultaneous-pager-explosions-in-lebanon/ https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/hezbollah-lebanon-explosions-pagers-israel-hamas-war/

part two is an invitation

Lasso is so good! I’m so happy it released this month September 2024 and wasn’t delayed yet again!

i cant believe that ppl actually believe that track list while it has "So i Sophie remix"

Charli XC(apitalism)X

The fact that this is a pre-release thread and not a pre-pre-release thread which means that by the end of Lasso's release this thread might reach 4000 pages

HAPPY 600TH PAGE LASSO PRE-RELEASE THREAD!!!

“The Music Industry” sent someone to… Athens, Greece to … kill a pop singer.. because they wanted to gatekeep two songs that said artist performed once… Right These people who jump to conspiracies before any other rational thought scare me.

So this is actually insane

Can we already move this thread to the rumours section please???

It will be a cold day in hell when this thread is hot for a valid reason

I wish those journalists asked better questions (like the NME one in May and the Vogue one in August), it's sometimes good to be straightforward and ask: LANA, IS LASSO OUT IN SEPTEMBER?

if u not here for the long run, u not here for the LB experience 😔

obviously, what lana wanted to announced in february is that she will announce an album called lasso in September! Not that the album is coming in September!

I’m so fucking bored. At least during NFR pre-release I could play cinnamon and happiness snippets on repeat.

the era hasn’t even started bffr…

I don't wanna cosplay as a cowboy for this album. I want to embody being a demigod wearing black, growing flowers from the shadows I silhouette when I step towards the daytime or sunset sun with this album

she performed Spring Breakers tonight instead of Boys... inshallah

COTCC 2.0 I love blondna but it’s becoming a trend at this point. She’s gonna dye her hair dark brown in October and give us our singles and call it a day

I’ve already seen a ton of ‘CHARLI?!’ and ‘NO TAXI?!’ comments and it’s pissing me off. SOPHIE exists without Charli. Her music is so much more than Charli. It’s almost as if these people don’t actually care about SOPHIE’s music outside of Vroom Vroom EP. I’m mad

Genres are a funny little concept, aren't they? Yes, they are. In theory, they have a simple definition that's easy to understand. But in practice, well, some may feel confined. I can’t imagine there won’t be some “tongue-in-cheek” elements of Lana going country. Even if her instrumentation, melodies, and production are traditionally country - I imagine the visuals, lyrics, etc. would def have elements of irony

This album is stuck somewhere between the past, present and future

Well historically, asking her directly isn’t even confirmation. Elle talked to her in May and she said it was still coming this year and…well the only time I trust a Lana release date is when it’s coming from her label, and even then it could pull a tunnel and get delayed

Honesty it’s not a Lana era without pushback. Tropico kept being out “soon”, she said UV would be out in May, Lust For Life was never ‘officially’ delayed but it also had a heavily rumored date until her “July 21st fam” tweet, NFR was ‘top of the year’ and then in March it was “who knows when it’ll be out”, COTCC was September, Rock Candy Sweet was both June and July, and even Tunnel was delayed two weeks. The only album of hers to not be given a fake/speculated date is Honeymoon hopefully when we get our single(s) this year it comes with some info. It’s gonna be hella annoying to get two singles LMLYLAW style with no further info

Another plane has hit the ultrakatycatisters

for over £60 i’m okay

I must say tho, hearing an entire stadium chant “you gon jump if A.G. made it”….. that was truly unbelievable, and dare I say, life affirming

I thought this was Sean, Lana’s ex, when I read the title
