    I really, really hope she doesn't release anything until her tour is over. An August release would be ideal, I think. When she released West Coast right in the middle of her North American/festival tour, things were so messy. She was playing songs from three different albums and there was just a massive era overlap. I mean it's not like she has to sing songs from only one album at a time or anything but everything was so unorganized.

    Things I like about this song:

    • The clear vocals! Bless! It's so nice to hear Lana's voice without all the reverberation.
    • The typical melancholy tone. So beautiful.
    • The "animal noises" as you guys like the call them. Lana's vocal range is extremely impressive.
    • That Hawaiian-esque introduction with the strings and Lana's humming is beautiful. Slaying me each time I listen.

     

    Things I do not like about this song:

    • It seems a bit recycled (a la loon and basic Emile production) but I think it's gorgeous nonetheless.
    • The lack of power in the chorus beside the lonely line. I feel like Lana doesn't exactly sounds as desperate as the lyrics describe (I wait for life to win but it never comes around... doesn't sound very convincing in the tone she sings.)

    here's the thing with lana -- you can't expect there to always be meaning behind what she writes. not meaning that you can connect with personally, at least. everything she writes is personal and internal and so a lot of it might come off as useless or opaque at best. if you're a ~*~ true ~*~ fan though (whatever that means) you should be able to disregard the shitty recycled trope here and there or you can just connect it to a larger piece of the puzzle (the puzzle being her as an artist, as a character, as an actual human being). maybe the above lyrics don't say much in terms of broad all encompassing meta / psychosocial philosophy or whatever it is you're looking for, but they still communicate aspects of her true self (and her internal world), whether intentional or not. the lyrics you quoted still fall in line with the rest of her work and retain a certain consistency you'd expect from a true artist. you should appreciate that at the very least

    I can definitely see Lana bringing back some of her Lizzy-esque surf noir vibes with just a hint more rock. I think that period of her life was her most creative; before fame, before criticism, before a fanbase, when it was just her and a few producers working on AKA, she had freedom to express herself (no matter how weird.) I think now, she feels less free as an artist and more restricted by public opinion and interviews and articles. I think during her time writing BTD/P/UV, she felt as if she needed to stick to more mainstream lyrics, for example, love/heartbreak/etc. Now that she's been in the business for a few years I think she no longer gives a shit about trying to appeal to the masses, I think UV's "unlistenable" sound is a clear indicator of that. I think she's ready to venture into more surreal topics which makes me very excited for Honeymoon. Think Mermaid Motel meets Blake's guitar meets Ronson's jazzy production with a summer vibe. I think that's how the album will be, and I trust Lana will prevail no matter what.

    No shade, but girls, especially Me: I Am Mariah, I am not sure why you all are so here for a hip hop tune from Mother Lana.

     

    I am one of those who are here for more hip hop/pop influenced beats and my reasoning behind it is that that's the kind of music I like? Do I need another reason? I have an appreciation for Lana's typical style of music (see: Ride, or like you mentioned, AFFA, JFK, etc) but I also like when an artist has a variety of down-, mid-, and up-tempo songs. Seeing as this last album gave us mostly down- to mid-tempo songs aside from the bop that is Florida Kilos, I would like to see Lana spice it back up, especially if she is planning to go in a happier direction with Honeymoon. Don't get me wrong, it took me awhile to warm up to it, but I like Ultraviolence and the direction she took. It suits her! But I think Lana is a very versatile artist and does really well with faster, hip-hop influenced songs like OTTR and it would be a shame if she never sang another songs in that style.

    It's quite obvious that UV was a personal project for her. I definitely think she used it as a way to vent and probably cope with her failing relationship. It's obvious her label didn't like it, too. I honestly think she's abandoning UV so fast because she wants to move on with that part of her life. I think she's just ready to abandon it and write songs about how happy she is now with her lil Italian boyfriend!

    I am so happy hearing this news. Honeymoon just sounds light, girly, romantic... Hopefully there will be some happy songs on this album. I love Ultraviolence, but the more I listen to it the more I realize how heavy it is, it's quite a downer. Knowing it will be similar to BTD/Paradise makes me very optimistic, that was Lana's prime in my opinion. Also knowing that she's already got NINE songs done is amazing. She sounds like she's really enjoying herself, makes my heart happy :')

    @ The face looks a lot better! Also the placement of the text is much better. Maybe making the top text solid instead of just and outline would be better? Or maybe that would be overkill, I don't know! Anyways, it's looking better already :)\

    I like the idea, especially the "fast version" but you should mask the effect layer and get rid of the effect on her face just to give it a cleaner, less glitchy look! Also maybe play around with different text placement ideas/sizes/etc... Looks a little random right now. The fast version text needs a drop shadow like the normal one! Keep working at it, this could be a great cover. Love the colors :)
