Future Jazz

Reading is fundamental.

I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID
I listened to her second snippet and I "CHANGED" my mind (see what I did there ?  )

I'm still mad about Yosemite. I just can't get over it.

Look at you kids praising 'Change' now   

CatchTheBreeze sent me this interview, I'm not good with translation so please tell me if something doesn't make sense/ sounds off and I'll change it. I think there is some pretty interesting information on Change.
 
 
 
"I've got more fun in life now"
5 years ago shooting star Lana Del Rey amazed and enchanted the world of music with her debut album. On July 21 her fourth record will be released. Which's title is program.
 
 
I: Mrs Del Rey, your debut record five years ago was called "Born To Die", the new one is called "Lust For Life". Are these album titles documenting where you were standing in your life during the respective time?
 
LDR: Yes, I've developed in a quite good way, considering my overall feeling of happiness.I am still on the way and growth and chaos will keep me company through my life. But nonetheless I can clearly feel the change. I've got more fun in life than years ago.
 
I: Is your new song "Change" about this transformation?
 
LDR: Exactly. "Change" is the last song I wrote for this album. The four words I sing during the chorus are basically saying everything: honest, able, beautiful and stable. That's how I want to be. My whole life is defined by this quest, the quest to belong somewhere, to be part of something. I progressed a lot on this path.
 
I: How do you know that?
 
LDR: Because of my behaviour. And the way I deal with people.I've become a lot more relaxed and open-minded. I'msurely more self-assured aswell. In the beginning, I was very afraid, I did not know what people expected from me.I was under heavy surveillance, I lived under a cover everyone wanted to peak under.
 
I: Why?
 
LDR: The people were a lot more wary of me than with a lot of other artists. "Video Games", my first single, was very polarizing. I still don't really know why though. Because of that, I had the feeling that I was present in the world of music, but not really a part of it for a long time. By now I'm not afraid to approach people. It's no coincidence I invited a lot of other musicians to be on my new record.
 
I: Like Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks, who's joining you on "Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems"
 
LDR: Stevie is a friend of my producer Rick Nowels. She's so great, I'd call her a friend by now. Stevie's been doing music for 50 years now, she#s been around in the 70s, she's seen everything. One could be jealous. The Eagles, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - this whole sound of that time, I love it to death. Since I ive in L.A., I've been looking for other artists - other people - who feel the same.
 
I: Did you already got to know a lot of 60s- and 70s-pop fans?
 
LDR: The funny thing is, I've built a fantastic circle of friends in L.A, who all share this passion. Father John Misty and his wife Emma Tillman belong to those friends. Or Miles Kane and Alex Turner, the two boys from The Last Shadow Puppets. We're some sort of small folk-community. We spread this Laurel-Canyon-vibe I like a lot.
 
I: Sean Lennon's on the record aswell, participating on the track "Tomorrow Never Came". How did that happen?
 
LDR: I'm talking about my ideal relationship on that song. The song is one of the few on this album that's now about me. I use John Lennon and Yoko Ono as an example. I imagine the two of them, sitting on a bank in Central Park intimately, this couple prompts romantic feelings for me. So it immediatly suggested itself to ask Sean, since I also really like his music. And he immediatly told me he'd be there.
 
I: When was the last time you danced on the "H" of the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles , naked, like you discribe it in the duet "Lust For Life" with Abel Tesfaye alias The Weeknd?
 
LDR: (laughs) Never, that's pretty high! You can't just reach it with a ladder. But there are some pretty cool cafés and the Beachwood Canyon, which has some beautiful, hidden corners.
 
I: Your voice and The Weeknd's voice go together perfectly by the way.
 
LDR: Thanks. Our chemistry's right. Abel was one of the first to post the clip for "Video Games" in 2011. I've contacted him and we became friends.
 
I: a few weeks ago, you've revealed you put a witch-curse on Donald Trump. Did it work?
 
LDR: (laughs) I don't know. Everything we see of him now is the same as it was during the voting campaigns. He's actually continuing to be the same. Because of that, I'm afraid the curse hasn't worked yet. I'd really wish for a peaceful, chill time, that's what I talk about on the track "Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind" for example. Where did it go, the golden hippie-age? Instead there are threatening scenarios and Trump keeps on adding fuel to the fire. He said some things, women should be afraid of. I just hope nothing bad happens within the next three-and-a-half years.

OK ACTUALLY this reminded me that a while ago I thought, since she said that this album was for the fans, what if she (finally) re-released AKA alongside LFL 
obvs not happening but let a gay dream 

Or used in the next era..freak no.2

scrapped. burned. deleted. microwaved. evaporated. left on the floor of the cutting room. 

Am i the only one who likes the pictures and the aesthetic of the booklet?

Someone that is not Eclipse posts images of the LFL booklet:

I've been thinking about the scrapped tracks lately, and I just thought that Roses Bloom For You might not be any longer than what's in the video we already have. I mean, it's supposed to be an intro, so I can see it being only one minute long. Moreover, the video that was posted has a pretty good audio quality, so I don't think we miss that much about this special song.
 
About Yosemite, my heart is broken, it seemed to be the perfect track to me: an acoustic, peaceful and desert-like love song, done in one take, in which Lana does high notes and has a vulnerable voice, with this beautiful title and these beautiful lyrics. I hope so much that we'll have an EP by the end of the year but I highly doubt it. Also, when she talks about the 4 songs that were ultimately scrapped, I don't think she includes Roses Bloom For You and Wild One in it. There must be a lot of outtakes for this era, maybe several dozens, I don't know. When referring to these 4 tracks, she probably talks about songs that really were intended to be on the record until the last minute - Yosemite, Architecture and two others.
 
@Groupie Lover SR is an acronym for a song that was recorded in early 2016, which Eclipse had heard at the time. He described it as a dark song, similar to Honeymoon, but with horror-movie vibes. I also think it'll leak sooner or later, but it might take time.
 
Also, has anyone noticed the noise at the end of Groupie Love? After she finishes the last chorus, one can hear a crowd screaming. I find it quite cool because it's discreet and related to the theme of the song.

never even heard of tyler, but he can c h o k e if he thinks the 21st is his day

oh my god guys imso fucking shook, i just realized something life changing. the world will change after this-

Summer Bummer works great since it's based on a rapper/singer collaboration.
 
Groupie Love sounds more like one of the Kety Perry radio-edits featuring rappers in order to reach a broader audience. The rap bridge seems so thrown in.

That's right but she changed a lot in 12 years and I think the best tracks on the record might be the acoustic ones, because she improved so much vocally and she works with such talented composers and producers now - and she herself is also one - that she might find the right melodies, lyrics and productions to give us moving, beautiful and raw songs. I expected Yosemite to be one, but...  
Also, I kinda like Drive By and Out With A Bang. But I couldn't differentiate the other tracks between them lmao

Yeah, I feel the same, I don't know why. I was so thirsty for music videos during the Honeymoon era, and now I just never think about it unless somebody reminds me of all the music videos that have been shot. I think that's because she trolled us so much in the past, now it's hard to build hope and trust for new material when you know how uninterested in promotion she is. I mean, during the Born To Die era, she used to talk about music videos for Dark Paradise, Radio, a professional one for Carmen... And that wasn't a problem because we had such amazing videos at the time. But then, she kept acting that way, when she announced a music video for Cola, when she delayed Tropico for months and months, when she teased the PWYC video, when she sabotaged the Ultraviolence and Honeymoon eras' visuals, when she talked about a Tropico part 2 that never came...
 
I was so hyped for the Love video because we heard of it last summer, and we finally got to see the video, it's really good, but I feel... indifferent to the videos that might, or might not, come. I'm just happy we are getting a new album in 6 days - and what you guys wrote about the snippets made me so hyped for it.

I love to read your feelings about the album, it looks incredible

I worked 9h non-stop today listening to a huge playlist of Lana's albums tracks w/ LfL songs in it. It was heaven and I was damn efficient !

btw am I the only one who is so happy we're not getting a cover this time around? I haven't seen anyone else mentioning it

I haven't been here in a while because I'm in vacation, but don't you know the full name of the song? That'd be a relief for us to know that
 
Also, I definitely won't listen to the snippets  (otherwise, I couldn't help but listening to Summer Bummer and Groupie Love, and wig shaken)
