    Some general answers from past pages:
     
    Pretty sure that technically nothing is stopping them from releasing Is This Happiness and Flipside on streaming anymore, next time Lana goes on a longer live chat, ask her for that. Speaking of which though, Flipside was never really considered for UV. It was recorded as a rough one day demo at Nightbird and they pretty much just decided to mix it and release like that. Good for us, cool song that would have been lost.

    Rock Candy Sweet seems to just be a phrase Lana liked, it seems to be originally stemming from a song called Loved You Then Loved You Now she did with Jack, but later also used it in Watercolor Eyes, but one is not a rework of another or anything. Watercolor Eyes is a song that can be very much considered a BB outtake though, but I'm 99% sure it wasn't made yet when Lana announced the former Rock Candy Sweet album.

    Is it true that the entire chorus of Your Girl is just sung by Patrick Warren and edited to sound like Lana, cause his acapella was incomplete?

    It's really best to accept that every Lana x Rick song had tons of versions and we will never hear 95% of them 
     
    yes

    It's not the final, but yes it was always for UV

    Hollywood and Angels Forever

    Yes that's something that I personally do myself while sorting stuff in my library.
    For example, Lana and Greg would always call MPG just "Money Power Glory", however the Dan demo that leaked was strictly called Money & Power (same with Fuck My Way) so I do have it saved as Money & Power (Demo) to keep it accurate. Keep in my though that sometimes title changes of that sort may just be done to ease communication. I'm sure that every demo/file/mention of Tunnel wasn't called "Did you know that there is a tunnel under ocean blvd v2", they would just do "Tunnel" or "Tunnel Under Ocean Boulevard" etc. That doesn't have to mean the song was called that in its version, it was just faster to type it.
    Nope

    Never heard of this

    No, this thread is something to keep your mind occupied in the wait for the new album since Lana is pretty silent and I won't be revealing anything more for now

    La Who Am I To Love You 
     
    I never even heard all those LFL outtakes, I just know.. a lot about them
  11. poetic jess liked a post in a topic by BlackoutZone in LDR Album Process Discussion   
    Some people use them interchangeably, but to put it simply - mixing happens when the song is being worked on, it's a part of the process when everything for the song is recorded, but you keep polishing it, levelling the sound and such. Mastering is putting very final adjustments to prepare the song for distribution on various media since they all have their own requirements. Mastering is more of a technical thing and only something required for stuff that is being released.
     
    That's why I said the UV Patrick demos are poorly mixed. The vocals are too drowned in the instrumental sometimes, some stems sound too out of place, there is lack of cohesion throughout.

    Btw about that, this was rather a fact than a personal opinion. It was a scruffy demo made in a day whilst there are many songs that were being worked on for months in 2016 and ended up being unused

    Omg sorry again, I meant White Mustang. Piecing all that info is really tiring, my head is exploding today. I think I will stop at least for now

    This is something I'd gladly discuss, but it would be mostly speculations mixed with facts.
     
    Rich Lee was commissioned to direct music videos for 2 first singles of LFL - Love and The Next Best American Record. Love was obviously done first and sometime in late 2016/early 2017, before BAR video was recorded, someone must have either hacked or scammed Rich obtaining Love music video as well as reference audio for the BAR music video. This led to both spreading and leaking causing massive drama behind the scenes and ultimately scrapping BAR as a whole. We are "lucky" they only leaked this late, cause who knows if that happened earlier Lana might have never recorded the MV at all.
     
    There is however the other side/reason to it that might be even stronger imo. The original TNBAR version is clearly shady and putting a lot of guilt on Barrie for the fall of their relationship. I feel like later at that time she came to realization that she might have been too hard on him - or even more, perhaps they happened to meet/talk and become friends on good terms again. The BAR video was built fully around the lyrics of the demo so when she realized she definitely wouldn't release that song without changing its narrative, the music video must be discarded. Since it was a really good visual that Lana loved and it would be a waste to just scrap it, they reused it for White Mustang. But yes, the full video was ready to be put out for The Next Best American Record.
     
    This also might be one of the reasons for other LFL tracklist changes, but I don't know that.

    Exactly, people stop plotting and harassing people who even Lana left in the past

    LFL is the era when Rick and Lana made, by far, the most songs together. But none of that is truly even known, let alone leaked, outside of LFL demo.
    If something notable leaks from that time one day, I will talk about it then. For now LFL questions are kinda off the table.
     
    Serene Queen or Sugary Sweet are just roughest of roughest concepts, bottom shelf of the massive material she made for that album.

    No idts
     
    The final I Can Fly was already produced by Rick though, he was the only one to ever work on it, it wasn't even 'reworked', they just kept working on it to make it better

    This doesn't ring a bell right now either
  19. poetic jess liked a post in a topic by BlackoutZone in LDR Album Process Discussion   
    Literally, just few rough demos they made in a week or two. I don't even remember if there are any others left beyond what's released/leaked
  20. Dark City liked a post in a topic by BlackoutZone in LDR Album Process Discussion   
    All the UV tracks demos you have from Honeymoun are produced by Dan Auerbath from early 2014
  21. Dark City liked a post in a topic by BlackoutZone in LDR Album Process Discussion   
    Everything done with LIB beyond its writing in 2012 was only in consideration for the movie/soundtrack release, not any of her albums
  22. poetic jess liked a post in a topic by BlackoutZone in LDR Album Process Discussion   
    There probably is more, but I don't recall right now. This also isn't really Lana's team's doing, it's producers/co-writers of those songs after they get discarded by Lana

    The snippet of LA Who Am I to love is some odd 2018 remake of a LFL era track
  24. Dark City liked a post in a topic by BlackoutZone in LDR Album Process Discussion   
    “Cali is hot” snippet is from 2016

    No, all HM songs first begun as Rick x Lana sessions, everything that has any involvement from other people is them joining as the song progresses in production
     
    Also keep in mind that certain titles are not really attached to any particular versions. Throughout Lana's career most "demo" titles are used interchangeably till the very last minute when she decides on one.
