Lana sees this album as lowkey and "all natural" so I think she's just acting in a way that comes naturally to her as a person that isn't stuffy or flashy (anymore). BTD was an album that felt huge, like a movie, but NFR is more of a chill trip and I think Lana wants to keep that same energy in the promotion.

I still feel like the only reason LFL wasn't more in the style of the album trailer was because of the leaks. We haven't had any big leaks this era yet (nothing off of NFR anyways) plus Jack is probably able to redirect Lana when she begins to have doubts about the songs. It still confuses me though that the fan reception of BAR was overwhelmingly positive but Lana still changed everything

Why are people shocked COAP isn't on the album, it's a wholesome cozy winter song, and this album seems dark and trap influenced if the 3 singles are representative of the direction, it would have no place on an album with that cover

I think Lana could release before Billie's date, maybe the Friday before. If she releases another single in the beginning of February, then the cover and preorder soon after, it could happen. Wishful thinking laid geez

This song is sick as fuck and I will NOT be hearing otherwise Love the album cover and title and the spooky vibe she's going with. I think this is going to be one of my top 2019 releases

Omg that snippet sounds next level and I love the title. It's interesting, edgy and kinda pretentious which is exactly what I want from Billie. I'm so excited for new music

PI(WGDDTSTTSD) doesnt even seem like a shocking title acronym

The pink version cover has been released on @@sweetener ig! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_StJ9gWV_/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=ajpkokgd0b4u

Not at all? She obviously means that these songs are so personal that writing about someone into it who isn't instrumental in her life wouldn't even cross her mind. We know that Lana has worked with and is friendly with many POC artists. Yes the wording on these comments and the lyric itself could have been better, but they're still not even THAT bad. When the lyrics is taken out of context yes it sounds weird but it still doesnt even make sense for it to be racially motivated. But thats a conversation for the lyrics thread. Lana isn't perfect and social media gives you the opportunity to comment instantly and without approval from someone else. But we KNOW what she means.

I want Needy as much as @@salvatore wants Yosemite at this point

It is! Tomorrow. Hopefully she'll talk for a few minutes as well like with VB

This makes so much sense I really hope it's the actual lyric

Days gone without argument a completely irrelevant argument starting in this thread: 1 0

I see. Thanks for sharing! I think we're all very used to Lana's songs following a certain narrative where it's easy to put the pieces together to know the story. I like that she's challenging us a bit and being more abstract.

The single cover.... oh Lana Aside from whether or not it fits the song (which I don't think it does) it's just lazy. It's blatantly a random selfie she took when she was bored, it's not even framed nicely, it's cropped in the exact way an iPhone selfie is. It's just not a nice picture. Couldn't she at least have Chuck take a picture of her? I know she wants to go for a more unfiltered approach but this just reeks of "i don't feel like putting effort in"

Yes same I feel like I get the feeling she's trying to portray but as far as what the actual lines mean, even reading over them I'm having trouble reinterpreting them in a way I can rephrase. And as a literature student who does that every single day for classes it's frustrating me, lmao

I don't really...understand the song? I mean, it's beautiful, I love the sound of it. But the lyrics don't really make sense. I see some traces of talking about depression but I feel like it kind of gets lost. Can anyone share an interpretation of theirs?

I'll be kind of disappointed if the album is called K-12, Bluffington is so much cuter

Members posted that Lana should do a video or cover depicting her head in an oven a la Sylvia Plath's suicide. I said that she should not and the suggestion of it is disrespectful. Not even any drama, just differing opinions

I remember this! Su Barbie A teas. Before anyone starts this wasn't her dressed as Sylvia, she was playing a depressed housewife character as part of the EH era

.....Sylvia is not even close to being an unknown poet sis she's world renowned for her writing. If you're gonna make a comment like this at least know what you're talking about

I agree, but when has Lana ever been in it to shock people? The lyrics about abuse and drugs were always just expressions of her own experience, not an attempt to make people gasp. That's why I don't think she would ever pull a shocking public stunt like that.

For sure! I was referencing the kind of things Lady Gaga did in the beginning of her career, like the meat dress, the religious imagery, etc. I don't really think anything Lana has done is on that level of "controversial", and I can't see her being interested in doing that kind of thing. Her way of eliciting response has always been transgressive lyrics, I think she will stick to that. She thinks she's funny sis let her have her delusions

Lana was never really "controversial" in a way that would offend people, just in that her music and persona were divisive and people disagreed with the messages in her lyrics. She never pulled any controversial stunts. Why would she start now?
