  1. Wasn't the UV album cover changed last minute too? Or was that a rumour just as well?
  2. LOOOOOL This tbh. I also like listening to Swan Song a few hours before dawn. It's like experiencing the song in a new way.
  3. Rest in peace to those who'd held their breath for the album pre 5/26, and some oxygen for those still waiting
  4. We've waited, post May 26th for the upcoming album to show. Thankful for the July 21st confirmation date, but yeah, the album's identity still seems much under wraps. What does a Lust for Life mean to you? Got any song concepts that you think or feel would go well with the upcoming album? From the recent Flaunt Mag article: Lust comes in many forms here in Hollywood, as well as out there beyond the Tinsel where it’s a tad more… normal? You’ve got your sexual lust, power lust, wanderlust, object lust, lust for intimacy, lust for that which dare not speak its name, follower lust, lost youth lust, future lust, pornographic lust, biblical lust, virtual lust. Anyway you skin it, though, lust is interestingly something wholly contained to our own psyche. It has no antecedent, no binary, only fractal likenesses spreading out over history, the now, and the speculative future. Sure, two lusters may collide between the sheets following a plastics convention in Islamabad, around a hearty bowl of moqueca de camarao in a Bahian resort, or a ’67 Porsche 911 in Pebble Beach. But what’s to say these individuals’ lust for the other’s body, the soup, the auto, is equivocal, let alone measurable? No, lust, in its rawest form, is something we must repress, exercise, weigh, or value entirely on our own. Consider the new record from superstar, Lana Del Rey: Lust for Life. When considering, might we assume this particular “lust” to have some corrupted layer to it? Some sort of invasive, or melancholic, or alienating undertone? Something mysterious?* Why might we? Well, because those are the sort of insinuations we tend to foist upon the Lana Del Rey we’ve come to know, or presume we know, over the last near decade, be it through the multitudinous, oft-confounded media halo around her, or perhaps our own desire for her to personally fulfill on some of the themes bandied about her discography. Lana Del Rey is mentally unwell. Lana Del Rey is violence-obsessed. Lana Del Rey is lost in an abandoned era. Lana Del Rey is… happy? “I think I was feeling happy that I was present, and not afraid in a way that I couldn’t enjoy my everyday things,” the musician says of the new record’s title, sat in blue jeans, cross-legged on the floor of a Chateau Marmont hotel suite, enjoying French fries and a Diet Coke on a balmy, breezy Friday afternoon. “I’m the kind of person that really loves those things. Like when I drive, I love every road, and I can’t believe that I’m in L.A. I love the architecture, grabbing a coffee, striking up conversation with the people I encounter. And I hate when I can’t enjoy the little things because in the back of my head I have concerns or preoccupations. So for me, it was that sort of lust for life. It was kind of just about happiness.” --- What would having a Lust for Life mean to you, in terms of song concepts and themes? What's your Lust for Life?
  5. Currently, it's absent Maybe the album itself is just summative of what it is to be lustful for life. She's been more philosophical when it came to the message of her music, so maybe we'll get like 7 deadly sins transcendence world wide awareness? the types of lust when it comes to life, via article writer hints from the Flaunt mag? Retrofuturistic with a vintage flair via insta livestream. It's difficult to trace everything I'm sure yeah
  6. I know what you mean, and not just bc the entire album hasn't been out yet. I think the music so far, album tracks, are more playful? Or at least getting there
  7. Not really sure or not, but just wanted to make a mini thread about listening to Lana tracks at night. Do you have any favorites that just peak at that time of day? Ultraviolence, for the most part plays so well during those late hours for night cruising. Any handful of songs ya think play best under moonlight?
  8. Some things are infectious, and from the posts above, I do understand what everyone's been saying about the hype. I'm kinda at that point where I can't really listen to Love or Coachella anymore, not because I dislike the songs, quite opposite, but because I don't want to overplay them to the path of ruin. LFL oddly replays so so well, the piano keys in the background at the hook of it just makes it impossible to forget. I'm grateful for that. Maybe I'll have my mind changed when the album comes out fully, I think it's easier to sum things up via desire or lack thereof of it when we get to listen to the album as a whole. 18 tracks can u believe? Hey, managed to end the post on a pos note. Lukewarm "Woo"
  9. Even though the forum divides itself between those who want LIB and those who don't, I really do love what we've heard from the track, and trying to dislike the movie it was supposed to be part of the score with didn't really work all that well. It's a beautiful film, and even if they've stored the track who knows where and for whatever reason, LIB, it's simply magical. I do hold out hope towards listening to it in full one day.
  10. Was really hyped for what she was giving us via the album trailer tho. I wonder if she'll have another trailer if this is true
  11. I'm truly conflicted by this because a. she's on a track which means new music, and b. if she isn't, the demo collab btwn them (if even real) could end up on LFL. This is like a pandora's box for my brain.
  12. Will look into this further later, on mobile, but yeah didn't Ben or someone from her team basically say that as the album came closer to, that all the details from the vid will be revealed? Let's hope the pushback didn't alter that all too much
  13. Apparently there's a sex worker that missed the Cherry performance vid on her insta, she's on the forefront of Change's comment section. What's truly coming?
  14. West Hollywood is a magical place, but I still wanna know why Lana's been frequenting it so much these days. Pride month? A track just for hunties? July's such a tease, I feel like those who'd fetishize the wait would have their eyes roll back twice and still feel dry afterwards
  15. I miss the sense and sound of Luxury is what I meant , but I think what ya mentioned sorta translates so I'm just like with a facet of
  16. Listened to Sad Girl today, it's so fun to strut to it when you're walking outside right before the sun sets
  17. Honestly, I feel like chances for an outtake 'leaking' are more probable than a new track. One of those times I really wish I'm wrong tho +1 on the new Ride kinda song, iconic's always welcome I personally wanna know what a LFL version of Blue Jeans would sound like.
  18. Well, I just have a feeling that God Bless America is probably one of those tracks we'll love on the album, but won't get til who knows when. Yosemite sounds like a track about peaking somehow, so slow, anthemic, more contemplative (like looking down from the top idk), so that's probably gonna be at the latter part of the album? And if that's true, then chances are thin. Cherry sounds like a mid track on the record.. we have already heard it tho, so I agree with ya on that one. I wonder if she's teasing all these snippets to help her decide which one she should release next. Everything's been so blank this cycle, I feel like my imagination's running in circles for things that aren't even validated But I do agree, something diff from Cherry Ur rite it was a mess, no lies. Listened to em, redeemed myself now imo
  19. Oh my god I honestly forgot that we had Best American Record and Fine China to listen to brb
  20. I've only been listening to the title track every once in a while a week, and I usually have Love on shuffle, but never really play it deliberately these days. Coachella too. I feel like it's been dry so far, and having only 2 tracks off the album is sorta, well stale, but I guess if the albums coming late July, another single might just come next month before we get the entire thing. I wonder if Cherry is the third track of the album.
