Future Jazz

in my opinion she could get rid of a&w (she barely sings and there's like 10% of the song), bartender but we all know she won't, i think doin' time isn't adding much and also west coast if she won't sing any of it lol. maybe the grants and nfr could go too. i think the others are sort of essential though i hope there are at least four new songs which doesn't seem too unrealistic, she added four songs from ocean blvd for her 2023 tour also i'd love for her to sing old money

guys the album is out in 4 months and a half it’s not out of character for her to stay silent right now… it’s definitely coming, we should enjoy the fact that it’s most likely set in stone now, chances are we’re finally in the clear she clearly announced it early to build hype for the festival but couldn’t put it out before may, that’s it

henry come on has the same beauty as her chelsea hotel cover does but it’s high time he came on because it’s been a whole year

i don't think so... there wouldn't have been a link for pre-order if it wasn't all set in stone. it's probably been done and mastered for months now. i think it'll be released the exact way she intended it to be, when she announced it last month. this time she's got to have finished it when she announced it (especially considering that her first announcement was a year old already) tbh i just can't see how there could've been a pre-order link for an album that was still in the making her thirteen tracks DID come together the only thing that's making you guys doubt is the fact that insiders don't know as much or don't want to say as much as they did in the past

i think there's no way we're not getting the preorder in January since a link was up

that's right, it would've been strange for the one song that is going to be on the setlist for eternity not to have been teased when you think about it, it's beautiful that she cares so much about one of the last songs she did with Rick

this was literally crazy there was only Bartender that we hadn’t heard anything from plus at the time we’d still get those snippets from a random website which i believe hasn’t occurred since then… but at least none of the songs she teased were scrapped also at the time there weren’t those damn 6 months of vinyl production so she was able to release it in august while fuck it i love you had been done in early july, imagine what it would’ve been post covid

it's kinda like the insiders aren't trying to say interesting or exciting stuff this time around but just to flaunt their knowledge without actually saying anything anyway i'm very excited for the album and i trust Lana's vision

especially given how vague and contradictory they've been so far henry is not upbeat that's not a surprise, she also released let me love you like a woman and blue banisters as first singles so i can't see why it would be weird for henry to be the album's first single. actually she hasn't chosen to release her bops (cherry, cinnamon girl, tulsa jesus freak, fishtail / a&w / taco truck / peppers) as lead singles since honeymoon

thank god we’ll be out of the woods soon and we know it’s all set in stone now, but the henry snippet being one year old is just ridiculous

her going country actually makes a lot of sense, it’s neither strange nor unasked for. she’s been saying for years that she was interested in the country genre, plus she wanted to do something that would be lighter than her last records, which were very personal and revealing. i am sure she wouldn’t be very happy if she knew how her choice to make a country album is commonly perceived, as if it were ridiculous or something. it's in the vein of her past work, some of her songs have had country twangs and her definition of country is extensive so it obviously doesn’t mean any major departure from the sound we’re used to. actually we haven’t have heard anything from it, except that snippet of henry come on which sounds absolutely beautiful and the fenway song which everyone adores. the album is done and we’re getting it either way, we might as well stop questioning her artistic choice until we can actually hear the songs i’m sure we’ll be in a much better disposition for whatever’s to come if we just collectively stop acting like her choice to go country is ridiculous, and it’s also more respectful to her as an artist

this era is definitely super dry and it feels like it’s been like five years since it started thank god we’re finally getting the album soon and hopefully this won’t happen next time

to me her plans are very clear and this doesn’t mean anything. her team probably saw that we noticed the links were up, which they were unhappy with, so they took them down like they did when chemtrails songs appeared on shazam. it doesn’t mean that the album is postponed or anything, if anything the fact that a link was up means that it’s all set in stone now there’s no change of plans, in all likelihood, based on what happened the last few times, we’re going to get the preorder soon (which makes sense if the album is out in may, it would be around 4 months between preorder and release, like it was for ocean blvd) nothing is delayed or postponed and we are getting this album without any additional chaos

aren't you interested in those 13 songs don't you want all the chaos and confusion and cryptic declarations we've had since january not to have been all for nothing

it’s a great thing there’s a link anyway, it means the whole thing is set in stone, which many people here didn’t think it was. also, for 3 out of the 4 last albums she released, pre-order followed within 3 days… so this is quite likely to be very good news for us!

manifesting the 12 other tracks to be completely new because like... i'm happy we're getting this rbfy thing over with but hopefully the rest of the tracks are fresh i fear there is nothing more to rbfy than the snippets she posted in 2017 and we all know by heart, happy we're getting it officially released on an album which it fits and in high quality though

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
