Most artists decline, only a handful like Beyoncé, TS and Adele don't and know how to keep their fans going. Melanie and Halsey are not artists who would keep these numbers going, these are also their debuts and nowhere close to Lana's debut. Trust me they will decline too in the future if not worse. Even gaga's decline is terrible and people thought she would slay the industry for many years to come. I don't like to compare Lana with artists who've just entered the game and will obviously have higher numbers than her simply because they promote more. Lana is still making bank, if she wasn't she wouldn't have the luxury of buying 2 mansions back to back. If she takes interest again and comes with huge singles then it's possible. But she stays working with the same producers. But hey, she's been working on it right after the release of HM so it's most likely going to come out in 2017 anyway. I just need a break and feel like lots of other people do too bc 4 albums in 5 years is a lot to digest.

That's what happens when you make a video for every single song off an album. I mentioned earlier that people can easily come back if she went back to having great visuals, great production and just something new and fresh. It's Lana Del Rey and I still feel like she can make people excited for her back in 2012-2014 if she tried hard enough, but truth is she just doesn't care. But her taking her time and not revealing anything this time is giving me hope that this new album will be great. My point is that it is not far fetched for her to slay hoes again. She has the ability. Melanie's sales are still tragic idc if it is still in BB200. She is no competition but I agree that Lorde and Halsey definitely would be. Halsey could flop after the face of this earth for all we know too.. I don't even consider her an artist that could grow when she's just a cheap knock off. But at the end of the day these artists are also much younger than Lana.. who doesn't care and is happy with what she has achieved. I just want a great album and want her to take her time even if that means 2018. And I don't know where you think people don't think about BTD videos... all of her fans are still very much wanting great music videos again. That constitutes as part of what a greatly executed era is...

I don't think I'm being delusional. You're forgetting that even artists who are as big as they are in 2016 (The Weeknd) aren't doing great numbers because streaming is the new thing now. Honeymoon has great streams for as bad as an album people seem to think it is. And sweetie anything is possible for anyone to come back and make a great comeback in the game. It is very possible for her to make a record for people to love as they did with Born To Die/Paradise. If she brought back great visuals and stuff again, it can be very possible. She was a major streamed artist in 2014... in the top 5. And I'm laughing at you thinking that Melanie Martinez sweeping the floor with Lana.. ha! Her sales are TERRIBLE and nobody cares about her except her core fanbase either.. even with her strange baby image/videos. And yeah, Lorde releasing in 2017 is even more of a better reason for Lana to release in 2018. Anything is possible with Lana.. it just depends on her and how devoted she wants to be with the album/visuals.

Honeymoon - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll
valentinoeyes replied to annedauphine's topic in Post-Release Threads
I'm very happy with MTWBT, Religion, Salvatore, The Blackest Day and Swan Song. And I even move Honeymoon and God Knows I Tried at times where I'm feeling really sad and need a pick me up. Overall, it's a great album but maybe not one you can constantly listen to on repeat. I do appreciate it and I wish others would too but different strokes for different folks. But I admit it took me 4 months to fall in love with it, had me feeling frustrated at first lol. -
I know it'll kill me that i would have to wait a long time but I'd love for it to be realeased in the beginning of 2018. People would really miss her by that time because 4 releases in 5 years is actually a lot. And more time gives her time to explore different themes/sounds which is what we all should want. I think she knows this that she can't possibly top herself every time in a 15 month time frame. I would love a pop-up shop or even have her debut her music video across projectors in different states like Kanye did for TLOP. I know she wouldn't be at the event for the latter but still it'd be nice (only if the video is really great/up to par with SoC/WC/any video from paradise and BTD). Cross your fingers because if we get a soundtrack song from her in 2017 then I can definitely wait till 2018. Heck there's still a possibility she's on 50 shades darker. As much as I hate the story to that series it's something lana would totally do. And I'm disappointed by the leading soundtrack. Even Ellie Goulding'S song had more MMPH in it.. especially the chorus.

Lana hasn't been spending time with nobody but Jonathon Wilson, Rick Nowels and Emile Haynie. Listen to 'I Love You, Honeybear" by father john misty. It was produced by jonathon Wilson and actually resembles honeymoon. I'm telling you guys that's what I think LDR4 will sound like. It's a step further/more cohesive.

Oh my god, I had no idea?! Obviously... it was just an example I was trying to give. She's honestly never made us wait that long and she always starts (writing) on the new record before she even puts out the second one. We'll get it soon..... was my point. She's not like other artists who wait to put something out...
-
The album will come in the summer with a lead single in April. Just like UV because 19 months was the longest we have ever had to wait. And she did post about voting because it was extremely important to do so this time around. And she posted a somewhat socially/political selfie.. lol. Just because she doesn't upright talk about the aftermath doesn't mean she doesn't completely care. Just wait because April is around the corner.
-
I mean it's not impossible for it to be on the album,... lol. If she can play unreleased songs at an official concert, who are we to decide if she can't put an Ultraviolence outtake and rework it for a future album? Don't forget but she also put a leaked track on UV too. It's just whatever she's feeling... and well eclipse has a couple of demos and that's where he got 'heaven' from. I'm just wishfully thinking like the rest of you.... and YTH can be easily changed to heaven

I love Swan Song.. D:' the chorus and the "dive deep in dark blue, my sweet.. rushing up from the water where the ice meets you've been gone so long you missed everything" part pierces my soul.. I dunno why it's so underrated. Just a sweet love song to drop everything and run away with the one you love most.

That interview everyone keeps bringing up about her talking about an upbeat NY record that's faster, darker and more upbeat was just a response to the interviewee asking her if she saw her self making another one. Anyways IDC if it's slow but I just want a new sound but she doesn't ditch Rick Nowels and a lot of my favorite artists (including BANKS) talk about how they only like to work with people they trust and love/have a stable friendship with. Ctfu I'm just guessing I mean she was very loopy with the way she was walking around/answering the questions.. could be wrong! Yeah that's what I'm hoping, because the change between BTD --> UV was drastic in my opinion. And from UV to Honeymoon it wasn't a drastic change, but still a pretty big one. And people seem to think that she seems to be going more "pop" because of the new dancers she brought to the tour.. so who knows. And this is also the girl who puts songs like Swan Song and Freak on the same album all the time.. we're probably going to get another mixture this time.
-
It's really funny how everyone is expecting and talking about how theey want the sound to be different than Honeymoon when she's already confirmed it's in the same aesthetic.. lol. And the way the demos are described, it's another HM. I'm just excited for new lyrics + Rick Nowels produced the UV demos and y'all didn't seem to hate Fine China and Yes To Heaven... we could be getting a sound similar to those.

Lana to be featured on The Weeknd's track "Stargirl"
valentinoeyes replied to Elle's topic in New Releases
Prisoner and Party Monster are way better... I feel like the beat sucks. -
Lana to be featured on The Weeknd's track "Stargirl"
valentinoeyes replied to Elle's topic in New Releases
It sounds like a demo... I love Prisoner and Party Monster way more. Probably an unpopular opinion.. -
I'm so sad after watching The Weeknd's film just now.. he included lana's part of PM in the film and all I could think about was how Lana could've easily been in the video dancing/pointing fingers back and forth w/ abel... D': Currents is excellent and not a snore, and as for Honeymoon that's your opinion.. but it isn't psychedelic at all like Currents. We got that with Born To Die/Paradise... so of course she's capable, but it all boils down to how much she cares for the attention and exposure.. lol.
-
I agree.. lol she's so over it and that's why she keeps playing those same songs at the festival b/c the people that go see her are mostly non-stans who live for BTD/Paradise. But anyways she's still a huge streamed artist, HM got 200M total streams and UV got 400M streams... I'm proud of her. And she's always been such a simple/indie girl...I don't think she felt she would blow up the way she did with BTD (SS Remix' fault)
