Another thing that really bothers me is how so many journalists disregard her creative output prior to 2011 as “plain Lizzy Grant, a failed songwriter” which is incredibly offensive. Not only is “plain” somewhat suggestive of a negative connotation, but it’s also just not true LOL! LDRAKALG is an album full of personality, character, and motifs that have naturally evolved into her later albums. I remember in several interviews from 2011, Lana would very diplomatically defend the album and you could tell she was always a bit perturbed at journalists suggesting she was a different person who did this total 180 in image and sound. Very weird...

What’s funny about that is that Lana actually met Joan at her show in November 2016 and they posed together for a photo that Lana posted (which can be seen here). I guess Joan didn’t realize how famous of a fan Lana was back then!

I want this post framed!!! <3

Richard S. He...I just wanna talk...

God Save Our Young Blood - a song where Lana is hardly noticeable - even making it onto this list and ranking HIGHER than some very personal, introspective songs (namely Is This Happiness) is terrible. What even.

This is what throws me off a bit, because in November she said she’s working on 2 albums (which would’ve been after Chemtrails was already done), and of course, knowing Lana, she’s always writing. But then on January 11, she said to Annie Mac, “I don’t have 4 songs that I love for the next album” and then literally the next day, said in an IGTV video, “I already know what I’m doing” and now, as of 12 days ago, has a new album ready for June. So I wonder if she had a sudden burst of inspiration and laid pretty much the bulk of RCS down in a short period of time (much like how a good third of Ultraviolence was written in November/December 2013).

@Elle @past the bushes looks like we got work to do!

I’m sure she did! All of the songs on Chemtrails were written before March 2020, which is when they broke up, so Rock Candy Sweet must have been in the works as early as the beginning of the pandemic (especially since she said to Music Week that one of its working titles at the time - likely this one, “Rock Candy Sweet” - summed up the last 18 months of her life, which seems to be September 2019-March 2021)!

He did deactivate his social media and he did delete his pictures with her (she didn’t post any of him ever) but there’s no official confirmation that they’ve broken up - to be fair, there were some “fan” accounts posting weird content involving Clayton and Sean and in general, a lot of fans were harassing him so I wouldn’t be surprised if that was why he deactivated his accounts. Hopefully everything’s good on Lana’s end and she’s doing okay regardless!

LEAVE NIKKI LANE ALONE I LOVE HER

Just thinking about how cool it would be if Lana did a painted album cover like Joni Mitchell but also had hand-pressed flowers onto it like she and Chuck often do (which Chuck posted about doing to her IG story a few days ago and tagged Lana). I think it would be so beautiful so I made this

I am so ready and excited for this! It’s been a long time coming...

Lana has always had a country flair to her - so many of her vocal performances have a twanginess to them (which comes quite naturally for her, notably on Cruel World and Ride) so I can’t imagine she would stray too far away from her already established brand. Might I remind everyone that so many of her influences as early as her 2005 catalogue have been country artists from the 60s/70s. And of course, she always makes a genre uncharacteristically her own!

I can never rank them, no matter how hard I try! I love them all so much and they each serve a different purpose in her career, that I'm usually in the mood for each record at different times x

I was surprised to learn this too! A few months ago, I came across an old article about Nikki from 2014 and I saw that Chuck was actually credited as the photographer for the All Or Nothin’ promo photo used in it so I guess from there, she and Lana connected with each other - so funny how life works out like that!
