The overall mood kind of brings me back to my trip hop phase that I had several years ago, I really really like it and will be going back for more

My album is almost finished. In the final check-ups and everything. Also debating on an additional track to add (it's up in the air, at the moment, but when you feel the itch to write and produce something, you just got to.) 
 
This was a very personal album, and the first one I spent months on, rather than solely a few weeks. I was influenced by the political climate of post-Trump America, but also about my memories growing up (in the closet) in rural midwest America. This time period was between 2006-2008, so Abercrombie, itself, is a nostalgic pull - and I understand the title can at first seem silly, but I hope it makes better sense in context. 
 
Here's the cover!

I originally posted this in the Pre-Release thread, but thought it'd get more attention here. Wanna explain something I happened to notice while checking out the snippets.

I honestly think "Love" was meant to set the mood for the album overall. It has the guitar, but it has the "wall of sound" hip-hop to it, as well. And then, from "Lust for Life" to "Coachella", it really is like a stretch of sexy, summer-driven hip-hop tracks and ends on a positive track that is political - and then, we get all the guitars, and the veteran folk singers (or related to them) rather than the contemporary artists that feature in the first half. I think it's very intentional that the last half is going to have a Woodstock-vibe, only through some of the familiar hip-hop additions that modernize classic sounds. "Tomorrow Never Came" sounds very 1967-71 rock. Definitely see where she's connecting the "two generations", and why she probably feels kids looking into vintage music may find it denser if they understand that history is sort of repeating itself through the anxiety of the current political American heat. It's exactly what she said she wanted to do with the album, and her chronology of the tracks seems to really suit that concept. Even at around the half-point of the album, if you count "Love" as just the intro/combination of the two sounds, and "Coachella" the track that moves the hip-hop into its poltical, folk-driven side.
 
Lana still doing concept, for sure. 
 
A SORT OF CHART (lol):
 
INTRODUCTION (folk guitar strings open the album, but blends into spacey, "wall-to-wall" hip-hop noises)
01. Love
 
SEXY, SUMMER-Y, HIP-HOP (7 "wall-to-wall" hip-hop noises)
02. Lust for Life
03. 13 Beaches
04. Cherry
05. White Mustang
06. Summer Bummer
07. Groupie Love
08. In My Feelings
 
THE BRIDGE (a more stripped back hip-hop beat, letting the album kind of cool off a bit before getting more poltically-minded)
09. Coachella..
 
POLITICAL "GANGSTA" FOLKY-Y (7 "wall-to-wall" hip-hop noises, but more laid back, with heavier guitar and folk featured artists)
10. God Bless America..
11. When the War Was at War...
12. Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems
13. Tomorrow Never Came
14. Heroin
15. Change
16. Get Free
 
It's like she takes us from "Coachella" to "Woodstock" by using that track as a bridge. As I predicted, the song works in concept of the album; but releasing it as a single is bizarre. From what we have in the snippets, this album seems to be very well-thought out. 

I actually got shivers from this 

She wasn't as public about Freak's vide reusing footage, but it seems a bit to convenient that she's sharing these videos on her Instagram story with obvious intent on keeping BAR's lines in there. 
 
I wouldn't be surprised, at all, if the music video is gonna transition from WM into BAR. She said somewhere she'd like to drop BAR as a separate song, didn't she?
 
I honestly just can't think she'd do these Instagram posts without hinting at something.

Anybody else notice how "White Mustang" and "Heroin" have the same melody in the production?

I'm going to cry if this doesn't happen. 
 
I would love to shell out cash toward Lana based on all the stuff we've had in the past. They're all over Youtube and other streaming platforms, but please, girl, take my money and keep working hard.
