MJA

Haha. She definitely at the very least could have more communication with her fans. Sadly, ill scream I'll unstan, and I never will.

I agree with everyone that the wait is annoying. But there might be things most of us aren't privy too. For instance, we were all screaming for the album and then found out a massive collaboration with Miley and Ariana was a thing. So I'm sure that factors in to when they release albums, singles, etc. It probably applies to Miley right now too.

Didn't the press release say that the lead single was to come? I imagine that there will be at least a 6 week gap between the lead single and the actual album release. We would need to get the lead single this month to even hit an August release. We're getting close to a Sept release at this point :/

Can she please stop talking about it and just do it? "I'm going to release some songs this summer" Bitch, it's already July. WTF.

I have a feeling it will be brand new. I think all the snippets will be on the album, but I feeling she may be holding something back. But I could be wrong.

Except what I've said is true. I've never once done that before on LB. Just didn't like you being a smart ass. Like, right now. Again.

Da fuck? You want his # or something. Works for a label. But keep being a lil bitch

I agree with this! This is actually really smart. She did Doin Time and this song - two bigger, louder songs - which then pretty much allows her to stick with her more mellow mood for her record yet retain her relevancy. It's sort of genius.

a friend. The video was already shot.

I heard about this months ago - Apparently it's a banger and their expecting it to be a huge song. She sings the bridge and is on the chorus with them. Music vid is also coming and yes, all three are in it.

That makes sense to release the week before - to at least get a #1. I guess I'm just confused on how they will release the Ariana/Miley/Lana song AND a lead single for Lana. Feels smarter to spread them apart a bit, but I'm not going to pretend to understand how the music industry works. I also think the Ariana/Miley/Lana track will be released this Friday. Lana's team might be sloppy, but I doubt Ariana's would let things leak out without knowing and/or having a plan that it will be released sooner than we think.

I have a hard time believing she will release the same day as Taylor. I doubt she cares, but Interscope would lose $$ wouldn't they? it's not exactly the same fan bases, but there is some overlap. Feels weird to release when you know something big is coming that day. August 30th makes sense to be eligible for Grammy's and avoid T Swift.

Part of me thinks the album will come out in Sept too - but then I think her label may want her to get it out right before Grammy deadline. Taylor's album throws a wrench into everything because even if she releases the last Friday in August, Taylor could still have the #1 album. It would have only been out a week. I get these doesn't care, but it's nice to see her still score #1's and not have to play the game a lot of her contemporaries have to do. Gives her some swag. Lead single should be here within a month hopefully!

I bet it will be mid August before Taylor's drops. I doubt her label wants the competition on 8/23. So either the week before that or the week after. It was smart to have her do the collab with Ariana/Miley a few months before to build up momentum.

I agree with this. I see a lot of outrage on LB because of things people created in their head. "Lana is doing a folk album!" *Lana releases a non-folk track* LB response: She said she was doing a folk album! I'm unstanning! I think there is lots that we are not privy too and it makes sense considering all the leaks she has had in the past. Ben said the album is coming this year. It's June. I'm sure we'll have a single before end of summer and an album after that.

I don't think the album is scrapped. I think they are planning a release for a Friday where there is less competition. At the end of the day, Interscope wants to make $$ and all of her albums have scored #2 or #1 spots on Billboard and I think they still want that. Between Miley, Katy, upcoming Madonna album, Taylor - there is a lot happening and I think they are trying to find the right time. Normally this wouldn't be a problem except Lana teases music as if it's coming out right now and then it's months and months and months later.

It's so hard to believe anything she says. She said Honeymoon was similar sound to BTD/P and it's totally different. She also talked a ton about songs on LFL that never made it (i.e. Yosemite) and even said it had a bigger sound (sorta true, but not really). Net net: You can't trust her to describe her own material.

Apparently, it's not on the album: https://www.stereogum.com/2042839/lana-del-rey-sublime-summertime-doin-time-cover-preview/music/

A lot of artists do covers and make them singles. It's happened before. I will always love you by Whitney is a cover of a Dolly Parton. I drove all night by Celine Dion is a cover of Cyndi Lauper. So, many artists have released covers as singles.

Can someone explain what it means that she's being sent to radio? Were her other songs not? I always assumed they were but radio just didn't play them lol. Have any of her other songs been sent to radio?

Doin' Time could be what we call Cinnamon or In Your Car? It doesn't feel like it would have that sound, but ya never know. If it were Cinnamon that would be amazingggggg. Because I want it now.

I think we'll definitely hear something, get something in May. Think realistically here. Interscope released a statement that said the album would be mid-year (which would be summer). A single in May would make sense. I get her label supports her, and she has a strong fanbase, but she's not Taylor or Nicki who could sit on a album and not face backlash because they make too much money/are too valuable to the label. Also, that V magazine cover will be released soon enough. Has it dawned on anyone that maybe she does have a plan in place and just isn't saying? She's had every leak known to man and people are still shocked that she's being vague.

While I would love the record (and believe it could be great), I've made peace with it that we're not getting it. So, yes I'm disappointed, but everyone bitching about her, her management, her label, etc. won't change anything. Just time to move on. But there is a ton of great music out there.

I'm usually pretty patient on here. But I have to say...we're in April - when the F**K are they going to announce the album? She released buzz tracks. There was a press release saying mid 2019 She's teased snippets. It's time for a lead single and an album date! I really thought she would release in June, but that sort of means a single would need to drop this month and we haven't heard anything!!

Ya'll make me laugh talking all this shit about Lana (she doesn't care, she hasn't said anything, blah blah blah). Lana never once said that the album was coming out 3/29. NEVER. NOT ONCE. Her manager confirmed it wasn't and said be patient. And what is everyone's response on LB? "HOW DARE SHE NOT RELEASE IT ON THE DAY SHE NEVER CONFIRMED!!! I'M UNSTANNING!" Like grow the eff up. Most of you are nice on here, but there are some of you who must have absolutely no life that you're that desperate for the album. And stop talking like you'll ever unstan b/c you won't. None of us will. It will come. Enjoy the anticipation. And stop trashing her for not doing things on your schedules.
