I really don't think that Lana has been working on this album for four years. She's probably been toying with the idea of making a country record for four years, yes, but hasn't necessarily been working on it all this time. "Hey baby blue" and "I must be stupid for being so happy" are prime examples of Jack and Lana playing around with country-ish elements back in 2019. As we all know, they couldn't work together in 2020 and 2021 at all due to the pandemic (hence why COCC's tracklist was put together pretty quickly, and Erickson and Simon produced the new songs on Blue Banisters). Of course Lana and Nikki Lane must have recorded some stuff during that period ("Prettiest Girl in Country Music" for example), and Lana probably started preparing the American Classics record during that period, as well (which hasn't panned out yet, lol). "Blue Skies" and "Take Me Home, Country Roads" must have been tracks that were supposed to be included on that album.
 
But "The right person will stay" doesn't sound like the (country-ish) project that we've been expecting from her. Certainly not the "Lasso" version. Her uncertainty and reluctance to talk about it speaks volumes. What she has mentioned so far though is that she doesn't want to follow the "country" trend - which makes sense, because Lana wouldn't want to be seen as a trend follower at all -, and that the direction she was heading to made her feel creatively/artistically uncomfortable. In her most recent review in August, she said that she might go back to the original version of what she had in mind, which might mean a more "stripped-down" sound. And I think this is exactly what is going to happen. Saying that she doesn't want the album to be filled with "half-cooked" ideas and songs is important, too. 
 
"So grateful that my 13 songs came together..." is giving strictly curated tracklist, in my opinion. Yes, the result might be a mostly acoustic May Jailer-ish album, but I think that she has put a lot of thought into this and doesn't want it to feel incomplete, rushed or directionless. 

born to die was written off for being too different at the time, at the point of mockery
paradise became her most famous work for a long time for it's quality and how it intersected w culture at the time. 
ultraviolence vindicated her 
honeymoon cemented herself as a true star albeit still an enigma 
lust for life was for the fans 
nfr was a resurgence of magic surrounding her music 
chemtrails was when she began to open up, or at least consider it. 
blue banisters had us all thinking about who Elizabeth was more, than Lana
Ocean Blvd felt like a more cerebral LFL, similar to how they both seem like they could be anthologies of themes/ bodies of work as such. candy necklace glimpsed us into more of an active, dynamic sound again. it was refined, precise and polished. 

she escaped the EDM(?) genre even if she kinda dabbled in remixes etc. ie. she didn't become pop to be pop. she paved her own way. 
LFL seemed aged at the time of it's release, but aged well overall in sound. despite fans being confused af about it then. 
chemtrails was beginning to be loved 2 albums into and after it's release. 
some are only beginning to understand that nfr was about the kind of damage sociopathy can do to a person, a country and the kind of invisible pain it can cause. 
blue banisters still gets a lot of flack bc fans are honestly bored of her overall sound direction or lack thereof, not willing to understand it's strength lies in it's very resilience and it's softness - counterpoint to the norms of bravado. strength of it literally having answers to much disdain from external forces that wish to've molded it's direction. strength vs. power 

I personally don't really care or prefer not to bother cus music listening can be a subjective experience where it can all feel valid and to an extent is, but the point is. 

if it's been so many times before that she's wanted to keep doing things her way, and also the fact that for most, it takes this long for some to understand, why the eager close-minded mindsets when you can just let things be, feel it out and think about the bigger picture about this whole thing of her artistry? 

everyone's talking about an invitation, but for a lot, it seems like a burden to go. it's kinda giving dysfunctional and bored. 
but who's problem is that really? 


I personally don't really like country. there's little to what I can relate to it, in terms of the world of it but. we all know she'll have something for us to explore into. 
everyone just seems uneasy, and the communication of the record's definitely not the best. but just relax ya know. 
you don't have to be burdened by it so much. 

When ppl say they want old lana back, like btd lana, my immediate thought is: THE MUSIC IS RIGHT THERE. Like, if you miss it so bad LISTEN TO IT.

That the album will release on may 21…

I’m so proud of her for selling out these concerts. She deserves it  
 
also my UK ETA jut got approved yesterday!!! 
LET’S GO LET’S GO
LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOO 

I think she really should stop with the dancers and the back up singers.
 
her energy is just so infectious when she’s there singing alone (both times I’ve seen her it was her alone, maybe the second time she was with the two og dancers)
 
but she really doesn’t need it.
 
plus a more exciting set list makes everything better.
 
to be in a hug crowd of fans and stand singing her hits and songs that have connected multiple generations is amazing

these will be my 5th, 6th and 7th lana shows  that was a horrendous experience but so glad i got them all. it was a group effort there were 5 of us trying 

I GOT THE TICKETZZZZZZ

I managed for Wembley !!! A massive massive massive thank you to @frenchcatblues @yourlocalhobo @CatchTheBreeze you guys are the absolute best ❤️❤️❤️❤️ so so so happy 
 
edit: I was 74000 in queue and I managed so don’t give up !!

If someone needs my presale invite code, just send me a dm. I cannot go to her UK gigs and am still hoping for some appearance in Germany instead.

everyone on lanaboards deserves a presale code period

I think it means if u share it and someone else uses it it won’t work for you I think it’ll work for other people tho

Would definitely recommend Kenny Dalglish Stand lower bowl KH-KN or the lower part of CE3 - CE6.
 
At least on match day this is the case. The last 5 rows right at the back of each stand have limited visibility so would avoid them

I will be in attendance  Still deciding on what date/s, but tbh I’m thinking about doing Ireland.. I had tickets for her 2013 & 2019 shows there (Vicar Street & Malahide Castle) but for both shows, something came up like two weeks before the show and I couldn’t go. Still gutted about missing both of those. Perhaps third time is the charm x

Lana Del Rey has announced a UK and Ireland stadium tour for summer 2025.

 
June 23rd - Cardiff, WAL @ Principality Stadium
June 26th - Glasgow, SCT @ Hampden Park
June 28th - Liverpool, ENG @ Anfield Stadium

Okay time to take a break from this thread.
 
Comments/speculation about her weight is gross, and doesn’t belong in the wedding thread. 

Let's get back on topic everyone or the thread will be locked again
