Mock new record 
 

 

we must really be losing our sanity as a community when people think an enimen collab is a good idea

"We want promo waaahhhj!!!"
 
:video is being filmed:
 
"We dont want this promo waaaaaah"

I'm a hairstylist and today I had this like 70 year old guy in my chair. We got to talking about music and he asked who my favorite artist is. I replied with the obvious answer and he said he just randomly downloaded Ultraviolence the other day and liked it. Told him to download Love and look out for the new album! Doing my part lol

There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting Lana to be more active in terms of providing more than just bare minimal effort for her fans, and it certainly doesn't mean she has to "sell out." No one is saying she owes us anything. It is, however, disappointing to be fans of someone who literally does almost nothing beyond just dropping the album and releasing a few subpar music videos. Yes, the music is great and lovely and at the end of the day we will all listen to it, but it quickly runs dry.
 
Lana doesn't care for being mainstream, and I don't blame her after what she went to, nor would it suit her either. However!! Not being mainstream doesn't mean she should literally just scrape by with doing almost nothing. Lana should take advantage of being on such a large label and use their resources to craft eras that she feels comfortable with.
 
For example, she hates singing live television -- why not record a few intimate performances of your favourite songs off the album and post them on Youtube periodically throughout the year? Just her and the band.
 
She doesn't like extensive & exhausting promotion -- you don't want to appear on TV mopping the floor with Jimmy Fallon, fine, we get it. Why not just host a few livestreams that last more than 30 seconds so your fans can see/interact with you??
 
Interviews depress you & make you want to kill yourself because the questions are always dumb and passive aggressive -- why not do a Q/A with your fans where you get to pick the exact questions you want to answer?
 
Lana seems to really like the process of actually making the album and then quickly loses interest in it almost immediately to move on to the next one. Why not document the entire album recording process, showing us how she crafts each song, talking about the history/meaning behind each one...
 
Idk. There's lots of things she can do to make the fan experience a whole lot better + remain completely comfortable in LA going to work or the coffee shops. The fact also remains that she won't maintain her popularity/sales at this level of effort and will quickly lose the ability to even make the kind of music she really wants to.
 
wow this ended up so long this is what happens when u go on lanaboards to distract u from midterms 

Love has been B-listed by Radio 1, the third most listened radio station in the UK and the most listened mainstream station with 9.9 million listeners a week. Love has also been C-listed on Radio 2 (a HAC station), this is the most listened radio station in the UK with 15.1 million listeners a week. So a pretty great start on radio in the UK.
 
In the most recent chart update it is predicted to rise to 33

ever since I saw The Love Witch I cant stop picturing Lana as Elaine
I would fucking asphyxiate if LDR5 would serve the love witch-esque visuals 
 

The fact that 99% of the fans not wanting to see Lana succeed became fans and got introduced to Lana during uv or hm though. They weren't here when the slayage during btd and paradise happened. They "don't know what they're missing out on". Also sometimes I feel as if some people can't comprehend that Lana won't become a Selena Gomez 2.0 just because she gets some exposure, girl did two H&M campaigns and a jaguar deal and didn't deliver any Teenage Dream bop for them. Sometimes you also have to understand that she needs exposure in order to serve you 'trailblazer icon' and headlining coachella or Glastonbury status.

We need a photographer that understands what the rule of thirds is.. Sorry to be shitting on them but like a high school art student could do a better job than those fools. I want some real hq, well done, and just overall aesthetically pleasing photos this era. No more pictures taken on a camera that chuck got for $5 at a thrift shop and no more crappy "vintage" filters they got off instagram.... If lana wants to seem legit, she need to spend some of the millions of $$$ she makes on a DECENT cover photo..

I actually agree with all of this. There is no effort. All we get are shaky videos from several festivals, hardly any inteviews and barely any interaction with her fans. All other fanbases get so much more. 
 
But in the end, I am not surprised. This fanbase as a whole is messed up. I don't blame Lana's team for not pushing her to come out of her shell or Lana herself being remotly interested. Whenever they browse this forum they will find plenty of posts where her OWN FANS don't want to see her on TV or hear her music on the radio. When there is no demand even from your supporters, why even trying? Who will be here for it when her fans aren't either?
 
Either this fanbase is packed with lowlifes with suicidal tendencies who hardly care about themselves or the rest of us just simply needs to be more vocal about wanting to see and hear more from Lana.

Marie Claire & Harper's Bazaar (the magazines that Lana followed) announce their cover stars at the beginning of every month. Should be in a few days I hope Lana will be in one of them lol. Or maybe next month

Okay Love is everything to me, music video is amazing, I love Lana Del Rey etc. but I really want to keep this hype going and i need a release date, the album cover, tour dates, or SOMETHING

oh please she was like 16 when she said this why do you all keep bringing this up. She was a Lana fan back in the day and used to reblog lana lyrics/pictures on tumblr but yall created this whole drama with her and now probably they both dislike each other (Lana even liked that stupid tweet back in 2014. THAT was a very childish thing)

Omg can we go like one day without people getting petty and insulting other singers? If you don't like another singer then don't listen to them? Some people get so damn nasty to anyone that isn't Lana, as if just because someone makes different music, makes more 'pop' sounding music, or is more successful than Lana they're automatically a label puppet with no talent? Grow up and get over yourselves. 

Lana herself thinks of Paradise as a seperate album and refers to the Love record as album n 5. Case closed
