    I really like the title too. It’s easier to see what’s wrong so I kinda wonder how the perspective’ll be on the songs

    so does she typically release other versions of her stuff? I think I've decided on which cover I like best, but if I can get a version w Mariah and Troye on it, then I'll wait for that. I don't wanna have to end up getting 3 different versions

    I've emotionally connected with this album, and in that respect, it's now my favorite of hers. like, girl this is such an emotional serve/ for the realm of feelings so beautiful.

    Was here to say yay the artist support and love but we’re now talking about the guy she took a photo with where it looked like she picked him up from prison in that one photo and also hair curls

    I just saw the back covers (?) and I'm tempted to get them all but I have no idea what the music's even gonna really be like. when's the tracklist gonna be listed?

    what I'm thinking about more is why she's announced it so early post grammy show fanfare. 
    4 years to compile and form. 
    let's face it, experimenting the feel with country, explains more so Nikki Lane

    I know she'll come up w something excellent despite my personal opinion on country (even if we can rely on her descriptions from past sounds/albums). 

    I wonder how much of it'll be an experimental album, fun album or how much of a combination btwn both.

    I get it, I just personally feel that the uv outtakes that leaked and were put on bb felt out of place, and if she wasn’t gonna rework them (like she did thunder) then she should’ve saved them for another project (aka unreleased album project that she keeps teasing)

    knowing her, part of it's probably out of spite ngl. 

    but also, thematically, people also forget how amazingly satirical and sarcastic Lana can be. exhibit A, her re-work of TNBAR in NFR, that can be seen as vapid/ but totally fits the overall theme of what kind of man Norman might be, to that clearing into figuring out more so of what she wanted, and not being caught up in a man, more so like him. 

    I personally think they fit the album's theme, and at least personally, them being the same sorta honors her artistry by simultaneously having them stay the same, while meaning something more supercharged and new to cohabit this record's themes.

    Fair, I honestly just wish that if she was gonna use the 3 uv outtakes that she would’ve changed them up production wise. 

    See that’s the thing tho isn’t it. Bc she did the whole fan album with LFL, and with how this forum loves to pivot - fans praise unreleased tracks to the point of worship, but when it gets released it’s another story, details here n there, and even if she lost the tracks, releasing them as is fits the theme of being who she is, not what everyone expects and wants her to be. 
     

    This album is a revenge album. So many people stay in more heated mindsets and they get lost in it, and she contrasts this by for the most part, keeping composed and going inward.

     

    She strips what the public frames her in, intergenerational trauma, public narratives, relationships with men to finding wholeness within and of herself, the difficult relationship she’s had with her own mother affecting her own personhood to cleansing that, and on top of that, being able to find the courage and strength of instead of spreading pain, chooses to be loving and nurtures. 
     

    I don’t think a lot of people today even still realize that. Bc it doesn’t fit some kind of edginess, or it doesn’t have many bangers (jargon jargon), people find it dull, but it’s honestly just a reflector on where someone might be when it comes to their own personhood and layers of self awareness and knowing. 
     

    We’re used to people’s opinion being treasured expectantly and entitledly, but at the end of the day when you strip things to the bottomline, you’ve got an artist sharing more tender offerings. That’s just incredibly brave and it’s never so much about us, and yes the relationship btwn art and audience, but I think it takes a certain fortitude and finesse to realize that she’s been wanting to be understood for a long time. Not to be thought of binarily, but to just have a safe space where she’s allowed a little more patience than what’s she might’ve been deprived of for so long. Her fanbase no less. So she did it for herself. 
     

    Focus that on personal experiences in your own life, and it can connect so beautifully. Yes you might find it boring bc what she wants for herself might be this wrote about thing of wanting kids/ family a simpler life, but it's more so of reclaiming yourself and living your own life, however you want to. That's another thing people seem to miss (to seemingly berate her for that shows a kind of double standard when all she's ever wanted to do was be herself). 
     

    This isn’t directed directly towards you, I’m just passionate in defending this album and how it’s a real treasure that’s often misunderstood or written off for not fulfilling some kind of standard, when in reality, it IS it's own kind of standard and work. 
     

    Just cus it seems soft or sweet, doesn’t mean that it didn’t take hell for it experienced, and what more, if the latter, how amazing is it to have very much retained it’s very essence and despite what she’s had to’ve carried for so long. It’s a dissipating, dispelling and disarmingly beautiful thing, only if you’ve found the secret of being aware of it.
