All I need is the release date and artwork. Don't care for anything else

im not expecting an album like born to die, but if she could make a lil faster songs it would be great, because i used honeymoon for my guided sleep lmaoooooooooooooooo

I'm so happy the fake snippets are back, it pretty much means we entered a new era, finally, I'll dress in black for Honeymoon tomorrow

I still keep that snippet in my itunes so I can pretend that Lana went surf-noir again and that the Honeymoon era was all just a bad dream
 
HM is not THAT bad, but ngl I'm hoping this new album is not similar... i mean idk i don't want it to be soulless pop bops either, so... unless this heaux whips out another masterpiece like AKA/BtD/Paradise/UV (everything in her discography except HM ) i'm basically setting myself up for disappointment

LESS DRAMA MORE LANA THANK YOU

What? Eclipse is high/drunk? My fellow homosexuals, this is the moment, we need to tear his soul apart, grab Your Girl and run

Guys the title is gonna be Beautiful As Roses, Zanella confirmed it

Young and in love

Strung out on drugs

Young and in love
Daddy suck my jugs 

wild one and beautiful people say hi 

if it is I'm selling my little brother to buy every single thing that will come out of this era, nothing on earth is better than pop lana, not even lana herself

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Lana's best album!(all shade to haters lol)
 
But on a more serious note. I really do love this album. National Anthem is a masterpiece. Million Dollar Man deserved a video. And Lucky Ones is great song despite the backlash. 
 
It's crazy how many people really stole this sound. Iconic Lana!

A mashup.  To Lana's "Us Against The World".  Hope you guys like it!
 

"Video Games"

 



 

The song that started it all; a moody, dramatically romantic 5-minute ballad about “letting go of [her] musical ambitions and settling down into a simple life with a person [she] loved”.

 

Written by Lana Del Rey herself, composed by Justin Parker (who worked with Ellie Goulding, Rihanna and Sia right after collaborating with Del Rey) and produced by Daniel Omelio and Brandon Lowry (Robopop), “Video Games” features haunting sustained piano chords, gentle strings, subtle electronic elements, passionate vocals and some of her finest lyrics to date, introducing us to the Lana Del Rey world: beautiful, innocent women terribly in love with bad guys.

 

“Video Games” was an instant classic. “I knew right away that it was a pretty epic piece of work and that it would put her on the map and define her as an artist,” Omelio said back in 2012. “It was such a heartfelt and real piece of music, that I felt sure that people would connect with it right away.” And it definitely did; it went Top 10 in twelve European countries and even hit No. 1 in Germany and Luxembourg. This long, dreamy lullaby performed so well in the continent that it is considered to be one of most successful songs ever in France.

“I would play my songs [to my label], explain what I was trying to do, and I’d get ‘You know who is No. 1 in 13 countries right now? Kesha,” Lana told T Magazine. “It was too dark, too personal, too risky, not commercial. It wasn’t pop until it was on the radio.” That’s exactly what this song and the whole Lana Del Rey persona did: she turned what it was risky, anti-EDM into the mainstream. Suddenly, slower songs hit the charts on which Katy Perry and Lady Gaga were dominating. An entire indie culture met the pop world and transformed into a sudden obsession for “retro vibes”, visual and musical textures and post-Born to Die kids like Halsey and Lorde.

 

Its iconic video, a “moving collage” as described as Dazed, was just so brilliantly simple that the industry and general public started to conspire; Did she really edit this video herself? How did she get a contract with a major label? Is her dad a millionaire? Are her lips real? She’s not a feminist.

 

Lana Del Rey was then a young woman opening her heart to the whole world. Yes, “It’s all for you / Everything I do”, “Only worth living if somebody is loving you” – among other lines – could come off as controversial, but she’s just another human being deeply, wrongly in love. Of course men are able to sing about dying over perfect bodies and great sex with multiple women, but Del Rey wishing to spend her life with an unrequited love is a bad example to young girls.

 

At the end of the day, “Video Games” was just a taste of what was yet to come: the most interesting and unique female artist of the 2010s. A modern classic Del Rey should always be proud of.

if the video really does have a high budget I'm sure they won't waste it on not promoting the album 

i hope she serves visuals that are on the same level as the ones in the national anthem video

but i mean if shes just saying "oops sorry another time xox" it obviously wasnt anything important or scheduled
 
she was prob just gonna stare into the cam and whisper something for 3 minutes then leave

Dont, we are thirsty and dangerous

All those people saying that only snoozy slow songs can be mature remind me so much of these people preaching how the beatles were the greatest thing that happened to music, ever.
 
Sia is like 10 years older than Lana so i guess she has to be terribly immature for her age

i feel like it's gonna be like the West Coast demo/ the radio edit

Like y'all gonna do that...
