Unmanfiest this bestie

I'm honestly so glad she's back. I'll never complain about her birthday posts again No but seriously, I've also loved Lana's photo dumps. Hopefully this time around she'll keep it strictly for pictures and not use her acc to respond to criticism

Omg girlies what happened? Is our queen back?

Sir, it's been well over 30 minutes and we've just had another party arrive in need of a table. Is your date coming or not?

I wonder if Lana will sing about Patti on the others songs from the tracklist

Misread this as WWF and I was like "why are they talking about wrestling in the BB thread?"

This is like the male version of this

Text Book > Blue Banisters (this has seriously grown on me) > Arcadia > WW

But we do have some proof. I can't remember where it was posted but someone made a post comparing the COCC signatures and all of them looked wildly different. I'm not denying Lana has signed stuff before, but I can imagine it would be easier for her team to assign staff to do it for her. Plus it's easy to copy signatures

Why is her label getting staff to now write her signature in ugly coloured markers? COCC had blue and now BB is neon orange? Enough is enough

Clinging onto leaked/unreleased songs is the only form of power they have by dangling it in front of our faces. The weakest links if you ask me

Does anyone else feel like we might get more than 14 songs? I just have this feeling we're gonna get more since the official stores don't state the tracklist in the descriptions (unless I've missed some?)

fr he was gross. No wonder why that girl punched him in the eye as a kid

Add Taylor Swift's 'Wildest Dreams' AKA Without You on there too

If this is true then shouldn't Lana be coming for Jack? I mean he DID produce both songs, correct? Lorde is just there to sing it

Leak RBFY so we as a community can reach peace and harmony

Yayo Paradise is definitely the best version of the song we have and here's why: Okay so I know many people don't favour this one, however, I feel Lana really captures the ethereal essence of the meaning of the song as well as the sound. Her voice is mimicking the lyrics "You are a tunnel lined with yellow lights on a dark night" - The Paradise vocals truly capture the sound of Lana's reverbed vocals being in that yellow lit tunnel. Her voice is travelling all the way through that long tunnel and out the other end, hence why her enunciation is slow, unclear and reverberating on the Paradise version. This is quite clever, and although it may not have been planned, it certainly adds to the realistic charm of the song and the melancholic feel Lana is going for. Her wailing vocals are mimicking cries. They raise harshly ever so slightly, almost in a wailing manner (such as the way she sings "ink bluuuuue" and "you have to take me riggghhht now"), and then softly descend into a quiet tone on the end of each sentence. You hear that pain in her voice, but the pain is subtle. It's modest. The piano is gentle, sweet, and reminiscent of 1960's romance scene. It's simplistic yet tastefully different. There's not an awful lot of complexity, but it's just enough to pull you in like a silk rope and make you melt into a sea of feathers. It has a girlish charm to it, and the music box/xylophone instrument that harmonize with the piano adds to this quality. That's something the AKA version lacks in my personal opinion. Why people say the Paradise version is overproduced, I'll never know. The instruments and vocals are rich and clear, but that doesn't equate to overproduction. This is a very important thing to remember when evaluating music, and I feel like people get this mixed up far too much. This isn't to say the AKA version is bad, but to me it's just a more rugged/dirtier version of the song. It has nice synths and strings (which make it feel full and grand without being overly pretentious), and the echo of her singing "dark niiiggght" is an amazing touch, but personally Paradise Yayo will always come out on top for the reasons above. Above all, I don't like the compare AKA and Paradise Yayo too much. They're both great songs in their own right, however given the meaning behind the song, I feel like the Paradise production does it more justice and goes wonderfully on the Paradise EP.

Yeah a part of me didn't buy this either for some reason. If her leaving her label is true, then I can see how she would fill in the album with songs that have already been written and produced (which will speed up the process)

This is a Christian household pls no swears thank you.

Pre-Release thread cleanse <3

I'm on his side <3

Allow me to explain. The interlude is a small sweet taster of a world Lana has yet to open up. What is that world? A spaghetti western heaven in which Lana will leave her old life behind, get on a majestic horse and travel to the wild west to live out the rest of her days as a gun wielding outlaw queen. The trumpets are supposed to represent her inner anger (notice how they are the loudest instruments in the snippet). The trap beats are supposed to represent both innovation and modernism, which is to provide a soft contrast between the old world and the new world. In other words, the interlude is a masterpiece

I'm very intrigued by this one
