LDR8 preparing itself to be her most acclaimed work

Omg yes her cultural appropiation era comeback 

the lyrics on each of the songs so far are some of her best songwriting and the record's narrative and jazz influence is enough to make it among some of her best work

big, real BIG mountains

LA Who Am I To Love You: 
I‘m quite good at tending to things despite my upbringing. Can I raise your mountains? I promise to keep them green […]
the elusive snippet:
My chest the Sierra Madre […]
 

 

Okay but this would be so iconic...

And thank you to a member who came up with genuine songtitles like "My Thoughts Aren't Borrowed - Just Blue" & "Liz, Calling From California" - which i used for this photo. I don't remember his/her/their name but I am so intrigued with these. Sending u love wherever u are on Lanaboards. xx

this album is shaping up to be a honeymoon 2.0 in the sense that all of the ballads are sonically and lyrically gorgeous. i hope she has a few more really strong ballads (including the ones we heard) along with some slow bops (a la freak and art deco). i really hope she goes that direction, honeymoon is my fave lana album. 

I imagine that she would have wanted to re-record Cherry Blossom. It was produced in 2013 with Fabrizio Argiolas, and I don’t know if the recording that leaked would necessarily be cleared for official release, since the credits surrounding it seem to be so up-in-the-air with Fabrizio’s status as producer. I also think she would want a more recent recording - rather than one from over 8 years ago - for consistency reasons. I can’t wait to hear how it sounds on the record! 

The snippet she shared was gorgeous! Her vocals sound amazing, and of course she looked so stunning. I always love her lil homemade videos, they're so intimate and personal, so I hope there's a full version she shares one day!
& the cover.. oh my god. STUNNING!! I'm so, so happy. It's hard to say because Lana really does have so many iconic album covers, but this is definitely a contender for her best. Plus, there's dogs on the cover which is always a bonus. The cover photo kind of reminds me of these photos I took with my dog about 5 years ago. I love these photos of us! RIP Snickers, in my heart forever xx
 

No way. NO F WAY. 
 
The audacity of this cover. I mean…
The Icon.
The Talent.
The Beauty.
The Sadness.
The Vibes. 
 
Every f thing is a f match. It’s heavenly.
 
ALSO, it gives me major BTD connections. Just imagine: then there were tigers, and now it’s dogs. The hair resemble Paradise. She was super fashion in BTD and Paradise, but now it’s more intimate and stripped down. YES. That’s what it is. A  STRIPPED DOWN VERSION OF BTD. And ALL OF THIS so close to the 10th anniversary of BTD. I AM SCREAMING. She’s a genius. I’m enthusiastic. I’m actually crying. I’m in love. 
 

Okay, delirium completed. 
 
 

I guess you can call it...

I thought the same thing about it sounding like Afraid lol.

After listening to the snippet for a bit, these are the general vibes I got:
 
•Melodically & Vocally: Afraid
•Instrumentally: French Restaurant 
•Lyrically: Yayo, maybe? Definitely something from her earlier, more sensual tracks
 
What does everyone else think?? 

i know i've been very "missing in action", i really like the official album cover! it's very fitting for a late summer/early fall release  i love her brunette hair, yellow dress, and tex & mex  it's also very regal, i think we manifested it @IanadeIrey! i also love the new snippet! it's lyricism is so intimate & beautiful and i love the dramatic piano at the very beginning, i'm quite excited!  

The way she tells a story through her covers... she has been in a journey from BTD to NFR (as seen in the vehicles) and now she is just enjoying life with her family, friends and pets.
The vehicles are a metaphor for confronting her fears and problems.
 
BTD cover: outside the car - living an idle life, seeking escapism through a dangerous lifestyle, ignoring her problems
 
UV: opens the car's door - gets ready to confront her fears and question many aspects of her life, kind of hits rock bottom in her mental stability
 
Honeymoon: gets on the car - her most instropective record, she isolates herself from the rest of the world (seen in her being so tiny in the photograph and far from our point of view) to genuinely discover herself (another metaphor, she is in a truck for tourists)
 
Lust For Life: gets out the car - she has learned many things about herself and overcome some problems, as seen in the smile
 
NFR: gets on a boat with a man - now that she has overcome her problems, she is ready to invite other people into her life, seen in the man by her side and her inviting hand. She's still on a journey but a different one
 
Chemtrails and Blue Banisters: she realizes how important her family and friends (including her pets) are for her, they are her support system (her banisters)
 
 
[This is just a joke, although I agree on some points, but yeah just a reach for fun )

Yesss run me over like a Toyota or whatever Lana said  new song sounds great

my chest the sierra madreeeeeeeeeeee  alrite alrite flaunt mama may the straights appreciate 

Actually not if this was the actual cover for COTCC, i always love this pic 

if the new songs are made with the new producer we're dead his production on Titanic Rising is immaculate omfg 

i really think these songs she decided to add are songs that she did at the same time she did the old tracklist.
maybe Mike Dean will be the main producer of LDR9 and she decided to keep the songs they did (and are doing) for that album. Mike said some days ago he had at least one song for BB. 

The new cover made me want to stream the 3 songs even tho i hate them. She seriously understimates the power of visuals

This is interesting. We know Blue Banisters was already finished, and she was working on the next album (which was supposed to have more songs produced by Mike Dean)
I wonder, if her adding new songs could mean more of those Mike songs as well  
 
(I know they probably never started working or even finished them, but idk)

do u wanna get hyped?  do you? 

zone mentioned the song gets even better. we're getting another single soonish. 
which means. a music video? A TRAILER?  TRACKS THAT WE DON'T EVEN KNOW YET W THE REST OF THE ALBUM. 
A NEW VINYL AND ITS SLEEVE ON OUR SHELVES RUN UR HANDS OVER ME LIKE A LANDROVAAAAAAAA 
GIVE ME CYPRESS GARDEN VIBES MAMA 


there you go. hyped
