I can imagine the ppl coming here and thinking something like "wow. So much has happened here. Maybe some news finally? :D".
And then "OwO Oh... Cherry Blossom? The Sirens best album...? ok... Hmmm furry porn? Wha- Why are they fighting? WHAT WC WORSE THAN WHAT? I NEED TO FIGHT TOO!"
And then mods coming next day " Let's end them"
Alright, here goes my millionth attempt to figure out how I feel about this album.
I think I’ve come to the conclusion that I just don’t care for this album. I don’t dislike it. To say I dislike it would mean it would have to evoke that much emotion in me, which it doesn’t. I can also listen to the whole thing and sing along, but I just feel nothing for it besides the title track and TJF. I never feel inspired to listen to any of the songs other than those two, and I just find the whole thing forgettable.
I also don’t care for the 3 new songs that have been released from Lana’s next album, so let’s hope she gets out of whatever this songwriting era she’s been in post-NFR.
Welcome to the Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
Annual Discussion & Meltdown!
On July 3rd, 2021 Lana Del Rey posted the following image to Instagram, seemingly the album cover for Blue Banisters, with the caption "TBD"
On April 27th, 2021 Lana Del Rey posted to Instagram announcing her next upcoming record titled "Blue Banisters" to be released on July 4th. The day before the claimed release date, she stated the album would be out "later later."
On March 20th, 2021, Lana Del Rey posted to Instagram announcing her next release titled "Rock Candy Sweet" to be released June 1st. At first it was believed to be an album, but since Blue Banisters' announcement, it is now believed to be a possible song/lyric from the retitled album. Exactly what this announcement was for and the exact nature of the "Rock Candy Sweet" project is currently unclear and unknown.
In early March of 2020, Lana revealed to MusicWeek magazine that she is working on two albums, one of which she already has a title in mind for.
“She’s already got two albums in mind, I think,” says [her manager] Ed Millett.
So, are there already words or titles that Lana is homing in on?
“Spending so much time in a close circle of country music friends, I could see one option for a title coming from that,” she hints. “I also have a secondary title I like that summed up 18 months of my life.”
What we know so far:
- Lana originally announced the record 'Rock Candy Sweet' in response to an article by Harpers Bazzar, where she stated she would be "Challenging those thoughts [about her career being built on cultural appropriation and glamourising domestic abuse"] in her upcoming record. In the same announcement, she also stated that she "wants revenge."
- Producer Mike Dean will be working on the project. In an interview with Fantano, he confirmed he was working on songs for her upcoming record. When asked if he was going to incorporate either piano & strings or synths in the production, he stated "I would mesh them both I think. You got to stay true to the original, but you can definitely do your twist on it, you know?"
- The first three singles from the album titled 'Blue Banisters', 'Text Book', and 'Wildflower Wildfire' are rumoured to drop on Thursday, May 20th according to a reliable insider. The singles are said to all have the same car selfie as the cover edited in different ways.
- Other producers/composers that are involved include Gabriel Edward Simon, Sage Skolfield, and Sean Solymar.
