Am I the only one who still loves LFL?
I was listening to it last night and it still sounds new and fresh to me. Yeah, there are some tracks which are probably my least favourite Lana songs (IMF, BPBP) but there are so many magical moments in this record:
Love - already a classic. The opening notes, the high note at the end of the chorus, the bridge, and the instrumental of the outro.
Cherry - the first time we heard it in the snippet was an EXPERIENCE! Still one of my all-time favourites, it's almost like there is a little bit of each album in this track.
13 Beaches - completely unique, I haven't heard anything like it before or since. I love how the beats in the chorus alternate between strong and soft, and of course the "that I've been dyyyyyyYYYyyyIIIIIIIIIIIIIING for soOOOOoomething rEEaal" part.
White Mustang - who knew some whistling could be so emotional??
Coachella - even the haters, you've gotta admit the bridge is heavenly??
GBA - The pre-chorus takes me to a different universe.
WTWWAW - The verses and pre-chorus are some of her best in her discography, in my opinion.
TNC - the most underrated song in her discography.
Heroin - the note after 'shores' (I'm not sure what instrument it is, but I hope which part I mean is clear!), the guitar riff after 'the heavy metal that you hear', IT'S FUCKIN' HOT and the whole entire lyrical and emotional content after that. And the contrast between the calmness of the first part of the song, and the rage and fragility of the second part of the song.
Get Free - the throwback to Ride, the birds and waves crashing at the end.

I think we must be getting an updated version of Elvis.
If we were getting something else, wouldn't it have been registered by now?

When did she say the title was Happiness is a Butterfly?
I can't remember which one but she announced it on Instagram or Twitter (or possibly both!)

You get a boyfriend, but he has an unusual compulsion to yodel the tune of Shape Of You whenever he gets ~ in the mood ~

I have a feeling Marina's new album will either be a masterpiece with iconic lyrics & mesmerizing music OR pretentious garbage full of generic pop songs. There is no in-between.
omg I am so glad you said this... I've been feeling exactly the same! Like considering her latest release was Disconnect and that her relationship with Jack seems to be going well, it worries me that Clean Bandit will have a heavy influence on MATD4. But the snippets she teased on Instagram were so beautiful, and the travelling and floral interests she has had recently give me hope it will MATD will be heavily inspired by nature, and have a really tranquil feel...

Am I the only one who likes "Talking like an answering machine"? It is a bit odd but it is quite unusual!
Plus remember her other songs have had cool names like "Bartender" and "Sylvia"! I will admit I am not a fan of the title for HIAB, but I still think it has the potential to be a really sweet, chilled, emotional song. I don't think we give Lana enough credit for LFL or what LDR6 could be - her style may have changed a but over time but she is still the most talented singer on the planet!

omg I feel really bad ruining this wish but..... when you meet Lana, you will try and take a selfie with her but she will say "Fuck it!' and walk off to her hotel.
I wish to have a nice cup of tea

Did I really just watch a 60 minute TV programme about the NHS single to see Marina for less than 2 seconds? Apparently I did.
