and i know she’s gonna stay that way… i’m gonna be working overtime the day the album leaks is released fighting off the Margaret haters

the way miss Margaret is already miss controversial… she already has the girls talking about her she’s coming

i’m not ranking the interludes but my guess on my ranking of the album based on lengths, titles, and credits is AW Margaret Kintsugi The Grants Paris, Texas Taco Truck Grandfather Title track Fingertips Candy Necklace Let the Light In Fishtail Pepper Sweet

But no I really do think Ocean Blvd is going to be her true legacy album, the one that everyone immediately thinks of when they hear “Lana Del Rey” in 50 years, the one that’s referenced in pop culture forever, her magnum opus it’s just a feeling

8 years ago, I would’ve bet Lana would retire by album 5. now, I genuinely think she’s never really going to stop making music, she’s gonna be like 70 and still pumping out a couple albums per decade

is this a threat

what’s a pre-release thread without the “is lana retiring after this album discourse” but i think if she ever does plan on retiring or taking a long hiatus, she would say something like “this will be my last album” or “this is going to be my last album for a while” in the announcement, i really don’t think she’s the kind of artist to just drop off the face of the earth without a goodbye. or at least not anymore

people have been saying this after every album release since Paradise

more like February 28th

although me saying that Lana has become a better songwriter doesn’t have anything to do with her starting to collaborate with Jack, what we’re not gonna do is credit her own artistic growth and evolution in that way to a man

okay i should rephrase this with, “it’s become a lot more consistently insightful”. her songwriting has always been layered, but recently there have been many more songs on the albums that are so lyrically dense you really need to sit down and study to fully unpack

respectfully, lana does write much better lyrics now than she used to not that her writing has ever been bad whatsoever, but in recent years it’s become a lot more insightful and a lot more layered than it used to be, it’s on a whole new level. as much as i dislike BB sonically, the lyrics on especially the new tracks on that album are pure poetry, it’s understandable why a younger person might not relate to them and therefore will dislike them more than the words lana wrote in her 20s, but objectively it’s her best work

when Candy Necklace transitions directly into the Jon interlude then what

better than Clay begging lana to put the beat he made on BB oop

Im actually really excited for the long interludes, it seems like they will make the album feel more like an intentional experience and journey

ONG I DIDNT REALIZE WE GOT THE TRACK LENGTHS 😭😭😭😭 can someone point me to the page we first got the track lengths on i want to read the reactions but i don’t want to look far back

i also just love jack’s voice a lot though so it seems i’m the minority here, although i hope he sings on it more like this song instead of his shouty vocals (even though those are good too)

Margaret is gonna be a serve I’m telling y’all you will eat your words! those who will get it will get it those who won’t won’t

we’re gonna reach 1k pages of delulu today

i really do wonder how different sky’s career would be today if she released Cry Baby in 2010. i honestly think think she would still be making the same Masochism now but in much better circumstances. again, i respect her artistic integrity, but what if she cooperated with them, even just for one era at the very beginning? if the album did well, she’s on capitol’s good side. if it flopped, well maybe we would still be in this exact situation, but also then Masochism would be the last album in her contract and the end would be in sight

i really do respect her artistic integrity, but yeah that’s just not how things work on a major label and it never has been unfortunately

although again, people attacking sky in her comments hasn’t accomplished anything in 8 years it just seems immature and unnecessary 😭

okay imo this really isn’t that hard to understand from capitol’s perspective and by “it’s about songs” surely they were talking about singles. imo Descending is a good single choice but also i kind of understand why it might not be that way from a major label exec pov. not to bring up halsey in here and start that discourse, but she’s the first example i can think of 🪦 halsey plays the major label game very well… she gives them good singles, even if they’re not necessarily good songs (like So Good and Closer), and in return they let her put out the albums she wants like IICHLIWP. sky just has to play the game, make a couple stand alone pop singles and get it over with. i think Capitol would be more excited and willing to promote something like that too possibly? idk

so we have a beautiful little collection of • May 1st, 2014 • May 26th, 2017 • March 2019 • September 5th, 2020 • July 4th, 2021 • March 10th, 2023 I wonder what LDR10 will have to offer

the way i’m actually scared we won’t be hearing from her for another month again because she just made like 4 separate posts in one today
