LFL and Love have both been discounted before and nothing came...

@Elle has talked about Ben's threats to shut the website down x_x His threats were based on leaks but, IIRC, no leaks actually originate here.

I honestly don't see why they wouldn't want Cola as a single. It could easily have been reworked into a radio-friendly song (give it a faster beat, replace "my pussy tastes like" with "my lips they taste like" - which even keeps the original rhyme scheme) and been a smash. Just like Brooklyn Baby, Florida Kilos, and High By The Beach could have been smashes with even the slightest bit of imagination on promoters' parts. The most disrespectful thing Lana/her team has done to her fans is come after Lanaboards and other fan-groupings. I can overlook messy album releases, but taking aim at us pisses me off.

Paradise was a mess? I don't remember it being one. Ultraviolence was the biggest mess to me, only because Lana completely abandoned that album for reasons that I still don't know. But Lust For Life is about to lap it.

Agreed. What upsets me is that there are other artists who are lazy (or at the very least, ill-prepared) like Lana is, but their management makes up for it. I wonder why Lana's team doesn't seem to put that much effort, if any, at their job? Ben and Ed have dicked around Elle and Lanaboards more than they've actually worked at managing her this era.

If it has to be a July release, I hope she takes your suggestions.

I was honestly convinced God-Empress Lana was just playing 5D chess. Now I think her team just doesn't know what they're doing.

I'm not completely sold on either the May or the July date (it might be pushed back but pushing it to July is just era suicide). That said, do you really think that promo singles and the LFL video could save the buzz for this release? Every magazine she was scheduled for is out or coming out soon and it feels like a July release would just make things even worse.

The second part of the gif came from Hillary Clinton dabbing on Ellen.

Maybe a release date, any release date, will come tomorrow. If anything is coming tomorrow.

What she needs to sing is Brite Lites, Pawn Shop Blues, or Boarding School.

if I had my way, she'd retire Born To Die/Paradise tracks and perform more songs from Ultraviolence, AKA, and some songs from Lust For Life.

7 songs from Born To Die: The Paradise Edition and only one song from the album this tour is supposed to support? And not even the title track of the album? Sorry, can't be with this.

The only question is: do we take the Paris Match date as the final word or do we take Elle's June issue referring to Lust For Life as having already been released in May as the final word?

Hahaha no.

Y'all are gonna get Lanaboards shut down for pissing Ben off.

Please no more collabs.

13 Beaches sounds like a terrible song and I hope it isn't on the album.

I don't get either magazine, so I don't know.

May 26th was reported by Rolling Stone and Vulture (New York Magazine). Reputable magazines did go up for May 26th.

Given this era, I'm only trusting it about 95%, but it's because they interviewed her. Of course, Elle also interviewed Lana and they said this about it "In a candid interview to mark the release of her stunning new album 'Lust for Life'..." So...anything is possible.

Then, by that standard, Lady Gaga isn't a major pop artist in 2017 and she's still doing better than Lana. But I'm not expecting Lana to be a chart smasher. I don't even care if her album goes even fucking aluminum. But I do want this era to go better than it has been. Releasing a song and then going silent for weeks without any info isn't a good thing (ofc she gave us C-WIMM, which is good, but prior to that, I mean).

She's a multiplatinum selling artist. If that ain't a major pop act, then nobody is.

Uh, thousands of people work on a single Hollywood film's crew, each with important roles to play. And it takes a lot less effort to edit, master, etc. an album than it does an album. They are not comparable. Are you telling me that Lana Del Rey does not control her own promotion? "Radio is in its death throes" and yet other artists who've released singles this year are doing significantly better than her. Radio being in its death throes didn't seem to stop any of them. Her inability to promote her music lies squarely at her feet. Fucking Lady Gaga, who has been on a steady decline since Artpop, charted higher than her. That's just embarrassing.
