I can see why you think that but we haven't even SEEN the video yet. We don't know if this just one scene on a beach and if there's interiors or what AND we haven't even heard the song or know anything about the album beside the title and some Lana selfies.

People are forgetting that it's not Lana who decides the release date. Tropico was a personal project for her, seemingly done independent of the label, that they promoted a little to boost sales for Paradise but that was it. The album is going to have a marketing strategy and campaign, singles being decided, promotion will be booked with TV appearances, and she may even still be recording some songs for it. If she said May 1st, then it's probably a tentative date and will probably come around around that time and in that quarter. Hopefully it won't be 4th quarter but it's going to come soon enough. Just be patient.

Shame, that sounded really good and in her style. 

I'm sure that cover looks more professional than whatever Chuck has shot.

The trap part is just a joke.

I'm happy for the Americans with this tour as they've been waiting for so long. Live for the applause, you guys!

Lana's a popstar. She should know that image is extremely important. She needs a stylist.

It'd be interesting to see how Ultraviolence performs. I feel a lot of Born to Die was sold off the back of Video Games which was a massive hit, culturally, even if it didn't exactly ignite charts. Lana has an obligation to fulfill, the label is not going to let her suddenly go 'death metal'. Whilst she may talk about it being "unlistenable" this seems to be more lyrically-based than auditory, some people have taken this too literally. She's going to come back with something similar to her original song. Ride seems to be a song to sell Paradise, as it sounds foreign to the rest of the work on the album. The label will keep her in check, as much as we want to think she has complete control, the label will force her into doing certain things. She's definitely not Madonna, and even Madonna has a boss. Even if we think of Lana has having freedom, she has enough freedom to be the artist she wants to be without the limitations that plague artists of great success, such as the Gaga and Katy, where they have a niche to fill. She's lucky in that respect.
 
She'd be foolish to completely change her sound, and I think that even though Dan, or Emlie, or whoever, is working on this album we underestimate that Lana herself has a specific sound and she's savvy and knows (and wants to sell records) that it'd be catered to HER sound rather than whatever producer she's working with. Even Ride with Rick Rubin is one of the most Lana-esque tracks. I'm most interested to her Giorgio Moroder but ultimately, I think we know she's stubborn in the studio. But Interscope, and every label, want her to sell.

It sounds like it has cinematic strings, thus "exquisite" and "beautiful" with dark, so wrong lyrical content. I'm excited for that. People who have heard the album are going to hype it up to high heaven. If the album is indeed finished, surely it's coming out fairly soon rather than an end of the year release? I'm sure she has to tweak it, the label has to be happy, and she never seems to stop recording songs, but I wouldn't be surprised if Lana randomly just announced a single and it was out within the next week of that announcement with a video following YEARS later. If she was recording in Nashville, I wonder if she has some country-twang to it, too.

How much do you want to bet that she's re-written some of the lyrics to include diamonds, pale moonlight and Elvis?

Gaga looked exactly like Lana when promoting the Fame fragrance. Brunette wig, big false eyelashes. I liked it.
