Me when Lust for Life is finally released and I can redeem a stable mental condition

i think it was eventually confirmed to be fake

Yeah it was up on Universal Music Finland's site but there already were speculations about the 26th before I posted about it, I think. It is possible that they could've just put the date based on rumours but I find it pretty unlikely because they obviously should know better lol (and why would they read those rumours in the first place). Them accidentally putting it up there could hint a possible surprise drop or just mean that they had the wrong date, which at this point I guess is far more realistic. Rihanna's ANTI was actually dropped out of nowhere even though everyone knew about the album and the cover art had been announced several months earlier. And then ofc there was that room website thingy and visuals where you could search for clues. ANTI was released at midnight on Jan 28 and Rihanna had earlier that week - on Monday - posted on Instagram that the record was finally finished and she was listening to it for the first time. It was first digitally released on Tidal and everywhere else a day later, meanwhile the physical releases came out first on February 5th. Work was released a day before the album itself. The promo website had like 7 rooms if I remember correctly, each unlocked before the release so you could know that it was coming but the rooms were unlocked on a very irregular basis so one thursday morning I just woke up to notice that the final room was unlocked and ANTI was out. If the record really was finished around the day Rihanna posted about it (Jan 25), it took 2 weeks in maximum for them to get the physical copies printed and in stores. EDIT//There was rumoured song titles around the web but the tracklist wasn't announced beforehand.

Over a thousand pages, still no official announcement of the tracklist, no preorder,.... this all would be so much easier if there was something real to talk about and not just some fake rumours. So I'ma just throw this out, what would your ideal CD case/vinyl/box set be like? I'm obsessed with her box sets so I'm really hoping there's another one around this time too. And to those who don't own certain or any box sets, here are reminders of the Paradise one, Ultraviolence and Honeymoon. Personally my favorite one so far is the Ultraviolence box since it has those picture vinyls too and it's absolutely stunning. Of course the other 2 are also, Paradise is very neat and compact and beautiful and my 2nd fave. Meanwhile Honeymoon is kind of lazy because obviously the label didn't put that much effort in to box sets back then, if you compare it with Justin and Selena's box sets - they're all very similar. I'd love another one similar to Ultraviolence, CD is my first priority but I'd also like to get the vinyl with the box set even though I don't have an LP player at my own apartment. And oh those big art prints Here are the fanmade jewel case and vinyl to those who haven't seen them yet. I like them both a lot, even though I would prefer a CD disc with a picture on it and a picture LP release. However that colored vinyl is absolutely gorgeous. I'm not quite sure if this is the right topic for this but I thought it would be a nice and positive change for those meltdowns and such lol

I haven't been that much online today and I really don't feel like going through all those pages so anything worth knowing? Except for some "insider" apparently talking about the album next week? Like what's the buzz

I really hope the record would drop on friday but if Ben really is spilling us the truth tea... lol why do i keep making these

Happy birthday!

I woke up a while ago and opened LB pretty much right away, so I learned about this tragedy after going through multiple pages of the LFL pre-release topic. I am shocked and deeply saddened hearing about this, my thoughts go to the victims and their close ones and everyone at the arena. What sickens me the most is the fact that someone would actually target an audience where most of the people are children and teenagers and such, who had probably waited months and months for the concert and thought it would be unforgettable in a good way. And I can't even begin to imagine how Ariana must feel right now, but I'm pretty sure this is gonna have a bigger impact on her and her career than just her cancelling the world tour. I read on the news that Isis supporters have been rejoicing about the attack in social media and it's truly disgusting. Cheering for innocent, helpless and defenseless youths being brutally attacked and killed really sums up what's wrong with the world right now and is just plain evil. And some of these supporters have reportedly even encouraged each other to do similar suicide attacks. What's really happening out there seems kinda blurry and distant simply because the news don't cover those as much - which I guess is understandable because it's obviously a bigger thing when something like this happens close to you. Thank god nothing's happened in my country - at least yet - but I really am worried and rethinking about taking part in social events where an attack could possibly happen. The big concerts I've went to (like Lana, Britney, Rihanna, Gaga) have took place in an arena where they check your bags early before you can even enter the building. When I went to see Kylie Minogue at a festival in my previous home town in 2015 they actually did a quick full body check too while checking your bag. What happened in Orlando also has me thinking about going to bars and such. I live close to Helsinki and being homosexual, me and my friends usually go to the biggest gay bar in Finland when we go out. We're most likely also attending the Pride parade this summer and I'd be lying if I said that I'm not worried at all. I'm seeing Lana at Flow Festival in august and it's got me sort of worried too, but I'm just gonna have to rely on the security procedures over there.

Expectations (also known as ideal case scenario) for Friday Most likely (also known as worst case scenario) for Friday

They're so cute here and our girl seems to be having fun and looks happy

OMG Lana and the video are so beautiful, girl came thru!!1 They handled the special effects and scenery so well The only things disturbing me were the close-up cuts on Abel alone because they seemed a little forced, but other than that their mingling had me lowkey blushing lol. Hopefully she'll announce at least the release date (fingers crossed for Fri ) along when she shares the video because now she'd probably get the proper attention with Abel's fans and GP watching the video, like somebody here already pointed out. Or at least the photoshoot if not else. Also the choreography in the beginning and overall slaying, I'm proud of her

yeah it said that i think

Yeah, I'm only going on friday for Lana though + I don't even listen to the other acts the 100€ ticket is salty enough considering Paradise tour was around 75€

I didn't intend to watch yesterday's gig since it began like 4AM my time but my killer flu eventually woke me up just in time for me to watch it Cherry was good and the chorus is playing in my head from time to time and you'd think I would've ripped it first in the morning but I still haven't tho. Which I guess is a good thing bc now I probably won't have it on repeat constantly and possibly be fed up with it when the album comes out. (i'm)patiently waiting for the studio version to come out so I can blast it from my sound system and be like Also watching it live got me so hyped because I'm seeing her at Flow Festival in August, haven't bought my ticket yet tho in case the LFL box set is pricey and I think she's the headliner on that specific date so hopefully she'll have a full ~14 song set wanna hear West Coast and OTTR live so bad

she sang it live first on May 25th and it was released June 4th. so a bit less than 2 weeks

if the album isn't coming /suːn/

oops sorry my bad then

I guess that clip is the ending of the music video, here's what Flaunt said; "The video ends with Del Rey overtaking the frame, batting her signature lashes before a sort of a cat-ate-the-canary-like smile spreads over her face and all succumbs to darkness." Also I noticed that the font in the trailer clip is similar to Alien League font, and especially with Abel's starboy space stuff, cameos in Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant follow-up confirmed? Like, James Franco apparently did one in Covenant (haven't seen the film)

wait, there's a new Selena album out? not that I'd care but I thought she was just gonna release a single?

lol my record store replied that preordering the album on their site begins on June 20th...

Done! I sent an e-mail tho so now just gotta wait for them to reply
