Lana's version of country has the potential to be extremely unique but I'm going to need to hear more snippets other than Henry.

I want worldbuildingI want theatricsI want cinemaI want thought provoking storytelling

Jack, Zach, Drew, presumably Luke Laird.

I won’t go deep into it here but mostly the production feels too simplistic, lyrics are overly sentimental and surface-level, leaning into cliches rather than introspective, poetic storytelling. I don’t love the majority of her collabs so Jack being on the song doesn’t help. I know she literally says it’s a simple song but I can’t connect with it like others seem to. It gives me major live laugh love vibes.

My biggest fear around this album is it will be a bunch of Margaret’s back to back

Random afffff so probably true

I desperately need an insider to spill

I don’t follow or keep up with either of them but she just seems so so so miserable. She has scathing advice for everyone but can’t put out music to save her life. She has no career or real relevancy outside of 212 and being an internet troll I don’t get it.

I know there are some major celebs amongst us

My takeaway from her speech isn’t that she’s “acting like” she was a nobody, making dud albums before meeting Jack. The night was about celebrating Jack and his work, and she shared personal insight into how he has influenced her both personally and professionally. It’s not a stretch to say he gave her a major confidence boost and injected her career with the energy it needed. Lust for Life marked a turning point with critics, but their collaboration on NFR elevated her career to an entirely new level. I think it’s great that she’s had longstanding creative relationships with different producers over time. Rick was obviously a major influence, and Jack, too, has left a significant mark. As she continues to evolve, I’m sure there will be more collaborators who help her bring her stories to life.

I love listening to her speak

The only way we’ll get news about the album from this event is if she does press interviews. I’d be surprised if she talked about it during her speech, feels kind of tacky.

This look is so chic. Sophisticated New York writer with an old Hollywood twist (her hair). I love it so much.

She could shut some people up if she posted a clip driving her car, leg on the wheel, bumping to the Fenway Park intro

I'm going to be greedy: first single before Christmas Second single on Vday with a music videoThird single + pre-order + music video in April around her Stagecoach performance She has given herself and the team 6+ months to plan a big rollout, let's put that Coachella coin to work, Lanita

INSIDERS: why so silent?

Realizing we have to suffer through 4 months of fake track lists why Lana why

The cover better be swampy and it better cost a lot of coin to make.

Manifesting the snippet of Henry is a demo and the final version includes strings and a build up of electric guitar

The title has really grown on me. It’s like she has shifted her perspective from “when’s it going to be my turn, don’t forget me” on Tunnel to “fuck it, who cares, the right person will stay”. I’m excited to see the narrative and themes on this album but so far I’m expecting a way more light hearted, stripped back, sonic soundscape. Something sunny and mostly happy which will be great for a pre-summer release.

I wonder why Jack said "that's a story for another time" when asked about Lasso in October. Maybe it's because he knew Lana was reworking it into The Right Person Will Stay? I'm nosy and neeeed some BTS gossip

The way this is believable me being delusional

It's actually insane how quickly she made me go from "Lana's a troll, the 2 singles she referenced in Vogue are the Tough remixes, nothing is coming until fall 2025 at the earliest" to firmly believing Henry is coming next week

I agree with everything you said and yet I still think the single is coming soon Her announcing an album at an awards show on the fly was very random, very her. I should have known better than to believe her in February. A post with an album cover (unclear), new title, track number, release date and producer credits feels more credible. I don't think she would say all of that knowing the buzz and hype that has built up around her new country album the last 9 months. My hope is she finalized the album the last few months and the rollout plan is set in stone - starting with Henry finally coming on 12/6
