  1. blackenedrussianpoetry liked a post in a topic by Flipflopfan in Lana & Jonathan Wilson Grocery Shopping at Vintage Groceries in Malibu - June 21, 2016   
    Wilson seems nice and I have a feeling that he likes her. She needs stability in her private life which can effect positively her career. He is a musician and that was her pattern with boyfriends (exception is Fran): low profile (talented) musicians. So, the fucked my way to the top line is totally sarcastic. Her looks and behavior became so mundane but it's a conscious choice from her because she wants to avoid any negativity in the press. She's not even attempting to do some promo and it seems that everybody is at peace with that: Lana, her managers, her label and it's time for us to except her choice. What remains it's her music and performances and it will be really interesting to observe how much gravitas these things have without the meta discussion about her looks, style and background story - because, let's face it, her banal outings in jeans and white shirt it is not worthy of any discussion anymore.

    If you would hack in Lana's icloud I bet you would found only selfies from neck above. That's Lana, the bad boys and the rough sex it's just a fantasy, she seems an overly shy person to me. But Lorde is more in need for a different career than Lana tbh

    Great video. So, she can do watchable and artsy videos in the same time

    I'm not against collabs per se, but she has such a distinctive voice, esthetic and overall presence that she needs someone who can mesh well with her. I liked her collabs with The Weeknd. I trust her instincts and I'm really looking forward to these collabs (better to have collabs than covers anyway on the album)

    It's one thing to make a political statement against Trump policies and it's another thing alluding that she is participating in a ritual to harm him. I agree that it's ridiculous and creates bad karma. She doesn't need anymore stupid controversies (i wish i was dead etc.). I'm starting flipping again...

    I think that this was her planned release schedule of the singles from the album and the last date is the album release. There are two possibilities: she will release another single today which is insane or, which is more probable, she forgot to adjust the picture posted on twitter to the fact that she released the first single in advance. Anyway this is a clear hint that she will do a social network type of promo so forget big time promo and big sale numbers. I saw that many are attacking her team and label for not promoting enough, I think that they just had an agreement with Lana that she will not participate in big promotion and they will invest as little as possible in promoting her music. She is afraid of performing on tv and she doesn't want mega-exposure again. Everybody must get over it, big time pop Lana will never happen. So, we can go back to the music, even if I already overplayed Love, I can get it out of my head

    It's not good business to get political as an artist especially when Lana was criticized by the progressive music journalists as regressive. It's true that she didn't made any statements but this is getting ridiculous and she needs to clarify the situation soon. This could be an unexpected publicity stunt which will make her some promo or it will backfire an ruin this era. It's one thing to play around with occultism but it's an entire different thing to present yourself as a witch in the public without becoming ridiculous

    The fact that she has low numbers in the UK doesn't surprises me anymore, she neglected that market
     
    But realistically can we expect big numbers after UV and HM and the way she promoted her music? She has 10 mil. views for Love on youtube in 3 days which is great. Will she have 100 mil. in a month? No. First, Lana doesn't have a broad appeal, she never had it btw, and secondly she doesn't do any heavy promo (tv+radio). The song is good but rarely a song becomes a hit without heavy involvement from the artist.
     
    I don't see yet any particular promotional  strategy in this era. The only realistic strategy in my opinion is to win back some of the people who bought BTD but even that is very difficult for many reasons I will not dwell on here. It doesn't help that her management seems more focused on that Dua singer. 
     
    A more pop sound is not necessarily equivalent with commercial success (Carly) and trash. Depression is hard to pull of artistically and frankly can become boring and meaningless after some time. A more pop Lana is a more energized and optimistic Lana to me which has something else to say besides self-loathing.
     
    So forget the charts and enjoy the music and videos

    I'm happy for her success and I hope for more because the song is just great. But for big numbers in the US she needs radio (which maybe will happen this time) and late night tv promo which I doubt she'll do. Don't forget that BTD the album and even SS were sleeper hits so I don't expect huge numbers from Love. I think it will fare like Y&B which would be a huge accomplishment taken in account that she's not nearly as hyped as it was in 2013 and she doesn't have a movie to make the promo. But still, this song is just intoxicating...

    I don't know if this was posted but Love is getting the acclaim it deserves Pitchfork: Best new track

    I don't care. Love is a great track, the video is great. Lana wasn't in the spotlight for a long time. People need time to discover her again. If the album is in the same vein (quality pop) and she'll stay positive I predict that she'll sell more than she did with UV
