damn are insiders saying boring and contradictory stuff these days

in developed societies, with the knowledge we have, with the technology we have, people do have the right to assistance when their lives are in danger. or at the very least, they should. if all that progress and knowledge can’t even go towards saving lives easily, i really have no idea what we did it for. millions of qualified workers work every day and have been doing so for centuries, it’s not like someone getting access to healthcare requires a huge sacrifice on society’s part. i can’t comprehend that someone would think that saving lives doesn’t need to be the number one priority. especially after people shared their stories in this thread. the fortune of billionaires doubled since covid started and you think people shouldn’t have the right to healthcare? this is nothing short of absurd to me.

it still baffles me how beautiful the title track is. it’s my favorite song ever. i cannot think of anything that would be just as delicate and moving. every single note hits so hard…. as blackoutzone said back then, it’s incredibly warm and nostalgic. this song is magnificent and it will go down as one of her ultimate masterpieces

crazy that the demand is so high imagine if there had been just one show in the uk

i got my tickets for london i’m so fucking happy!!! but 171£ for front standing lol anyway money comes back

i’m not sure it’s her pop girl era… this album isn’t shaping up to be very upbeat

it looks like she’s been gathering country songs for the past few years (nothing on blue banisters and ocean blvd is country, but we know she’s been wanting to put out a country album for like 4 years), so the record as it was in january was quite country-oriented, and since then it was a changed a bit there are probably some southern gothic elements to it now, but overall what we know about it isn’t contradictory. melodic songs, an Americana flair, less personal lyrics, it all sounds good to me i can’t wait to find out if loved you then and now is on the tracklist

if the album was done in september why did she act like she didn’t know where the album was going at that event last month that wasn’t recorded in august

it’s the album she’s been working on for 4 years and the album we’ve been waiting for, it doesn’t seem half-cooked at all to me! i think it’ll definitely have some southern gothic elements, but personally i’m very happy that she hasn’t scrapped her country songs it’s about time we got this over with, this pre-release is still her longest ever and tbh i wouldn’t have wanted the album to go in a whole other direction and get it in 2026. she’s probably going to pursue something different for the next album! imo, the continuity in this project (henry still being the lead) and her pride show that this album is not half-baked at all i don’t like the cover either, but there really isn’t anything here that indicates the album is going to be bad, except if you wanted her to fully scrap the country/americana/melodic stuff she’s been mentioning for years now

it takes 6 months for an album to come out from the moment it’s finished and it’s far from being finished as of now so 2026 wouldn’t surprise me at all very late 2025 at the very least, which kind of is 2 years from january 2024 love her though

imo there’s no way we’re getting the album in spring. it takes 6 months to release an album from the moment it’s done because of mastering and pressing vinyls. if the album came out next spring, it would have to have already been finished by now, which is definitely not the case she said pretty much the same thing late october as she did mid-august (about not being sure where the album was going). before she even masters the album, she’s going to have to figure out where it’s going, then write and produce the songs, then she might rework them as she always does… not to mention she’s pretty busy with her private life. i would be surprised if the album was completed within 6 months from now. and then it takes another 6 months to master/press it. i’m sorry guys there is literally no way it’s coming before late 2025, it’s impossible given the state of the album atm and how long it takes to master it and press vinyls. and we’ve never gotten anything in advance with lana, it’s usually the other way around expecting the album before late 2025 is setting oneself up for disappointment but i feel you and i wish she would’ve just released the album she announced a year ago

the fact that we might get it literally two years after she posted the snippet

i don’t think that’s possible because she mentioned being in a bit of an energetic break last week, when she was at that event. she also said the same thing as in that interview from mid-august (that she didn’t really know where the album was going but didn’t recognize herself in the country element anymore and needed a bit of a break). so it doesn’t feel like she “made progress” (and i’m not saying that she needs to!) in the last couple of months, which is not surprising because she got married lmao. but i think the album is very far from being done; it’s not just that she knows where she’s going and wants to put it into practice, it’s that she doesn’t even really know where she’s going (and she might want to rework stuff again once it’s done) the other day someone compared her interview that was made in august with the one for V Magazine in early 2022, saying that it sounded like she was at the same point in the creative process as she was back then. we ended up getting ocean blvd one year after that interview (and that was the smoothest rollout since honeymoon) but at least now we know where her head’s at after months of silence i think we’ve spent enough time waiting for lasso this year and we might as well expect nothing until late 2025

it took 6 months between the moment the last song on ocean blvd was recorded and the moment the album came out, because it’s so long to master the whole thing and to press vinyls and stuff. she literally said a few days ago she didn’t know where it was going… we’re not getting this album until late 2025 at the very least. given her uncertainty + the fact that she’s quite busy with her private life (as she should), i’d actually be surprised if the recording process and production were finished in the next few months. and then there’s the usual 6 months for mastering and pressing vinyls. so if she does drop a single soonish, it’ll be a long wait till the album

if i remember correctly, black out zone has said she scrapped many piano ballads that were intended for the record in like may-june 2021
