I thought it was like how Tulsa Jesus Freak was originally called White Hot Forever and she repeats that during the refrain, no? Like naturally, a repeated phrase during a chorus is usually the title, so maybe LYTAN was the original title but since she says “rock candy sweet” she decided to rename it that? And then it was the name of the new album until April and she decided on Blue Banisters?

Ohhh, okay, thank you so much! That’s super interesting, it also reminds me of how he said there’s allegedly a leaked unreleased track on the album. Like you said, I wonder if she reworked anything for this album. He seems to be teasing something like that

Ohhh, okay, thanks! <3 I think that’s his way of saying it’s an older song, then. The title reminds me of something she would’ve written between 2015 and 2017.

A tentative tracklist for COTCC from Electric Lady Studios in early 2020 was posted yesterday by a Reddit user and it had 11 tracks but 2 were blank. There were alternative titles (that we knew of/could guess ourselves) and one was “Loved You Then and Now”, which BOZ confirmed is the same song as Rock Candy Sweet/contains the lyric “rock candy sweet.”

How did we know it wasn’t written for COTCC? Did BOZ say it wasn’t? I wasn’t sure because I thought it being on that tentative tracklist meant it was an outtake, although it could be an outtake from a previous album that she just wanted to put on a newer album lol! welcome to LanaBoards btw! Hope you love it here as much as we do

Unfortunately, I don’t think it means that the album is necessarily done if insiders have access to it. Didn’t people have access to Love in April 2016 - literally the month it was recorded - and then the video in August 2016 - just WEEKS after it was shot? Unless that was different, maybe the situation with Love was directly from the source, and then with COTCC and BB as full albums, it was them interfering somewhere between the studio and mastering site? I don’t know..

That’s interesting about Loved You Then and Now! I wonder if it will appear under that title or as Rock Candy Sweet on the final tracklist! I guess confirmed/speculated songs so far are: - Blue Banisters - Dealer - Loved You Then and Now/Rock Candy Sweet Also - friendly reminder that just because some songs were written with Jack doesn’t mean the album is going to sound like NFR or COTCC. Born to Die was written with Rick Nowels, Justin Parker, Dan Heath, Chris Braide, and other guys, but their input really can’t be heard on the album because Emile Haynie’s additional production really changes things up heavily. For example, Chris Braide plays the piano on MDM, but Emile’s hip-hop beats really make a difference. Compare the OTTR demo to the final - totally different! I imagine Mike’s contributions will diversify the sound a bit if Jack was playing a mere piano part in a few tracks that are otherwise full of Mike’s layers.

I thought it would be cool to incorporate it into the whole newspaper/headlines-being-burnt thing it’s a beautifully chaotic concept

LMAO omg, well...luckily, I doubt she would

Aw they all look so pretty! Chuck’s hair and dress are too beautiful Lana looks amazing as well, can’t wait to get a better look at her outfit. Her hair and makeup look divine

Literally all of the released catalogue and a good, like, 65% of the unreleased catalogue

THANK YOU SO MUCH as always! <3

“I’m writing my own story. And no one can tell it but me”

Mike is just so cool. I want to be friends with him LOL His energy reads as really laid-back but also really hype at the same time. I can tell he and Lana have been cooking up something cool, I seriously cannot wait. Considering he’s produced so many of my favourite albums of all time, I feel like we’re in for another cult-classic-status Lana record, one as big as BTD was in sound, as well as how big NFR was in terms of Lana’s legacy

I assume you’re referring to the man standing, who is actually Craig Stark! He was in the triple NFR video

Thank you guys!!

Manifesting for May 18th - “BLUE BANISTERS out JULY 4th Made with @therealmikedean @zachary_dawes @jackantonoff Cover shot by @nadialeelee“

The 20th day is on Tuesday! I’m hoping she will say something then

Madonna got a lot of unfair criticism/attracted a lot of controversy for being more outright with her sexuality in her music, which kind of fits perfectly with the sentiments of QFTC, so I do wonder if there is some sort of collab about that on the horizon..

This moment in the pre-release reminds me of this exact time 6 years ago, when the rumour was that the lead single of Honeymoon was called “Regina Sunset” and then one of the models in the MTWBT video posted BTS pics saying the song was coming out in June, and the fake tracklists included Yes to Heaven, Fine China, and a song called White Tiger. And then she shook everyone to the core by singing an a cappella verse of Honeymoon on the last date of the Endless Summer tour and included the lyrics in the lyric books at the merch stand and it was just such a fun time! I’m really feeling a similar type of anticipation to this album because we already know it’s going to be so different

Awww, you guys are so sweet. I’ve been thinking the same thing about both of your work!!

That promo is fake unfortunately that photo they used was a backstage glam photo from the Endless Summer tour!

I started this when we thought Rock Candy Sweet was still the album title, but thought I’d finish it to reflect Blue Banisters lol. I had something different for Lana in mind when doing this! Kind of Travis Scott-inspired.

? Announcement on May 18th, lead single on May 21st ?

Thank you, I’m so glad you agree. It is so true - Lana is indeed the best of the best and we’re so lucky to be experiencing her music in real time. That is the real gift of it all!
