Oh. That's good. We need album info, stat. ------------- Why do people here get so in their feelings about people critiquing what Lana does? She's not your mom, you know.

Given this lack of news and all this mess surrounding "Love"...I rly doubt we're getting anything this year besides what we've already gotten. People paying $1400 to see Lana Del Rey perform for an hour is a pretty good reason to go back on that. I'd want my money back if I was one of the poor fools who paid to go. She already put zero effort into the setlist she performed. She could at least attempt to look like she wants to be there. Or at least just not perform. This performance was not worth the money people paid for it.

nope. the people doing a bad job of protecting Lana's material got her song to leak.

> buying music > 2017

I love Lana. AKA, Born To Die, and Ultraviolence are my favorite albums. I'm not expecting her to sell millions of records. I'm also not expecting her to remake Born To Die over and over like some of the more chart-obsessed members are (or Ultraviolence). I'd appreciate it if she put more effort in though. While fans aren't entitled to anything, it's a pretty big "fuck you" to the people who made her rich and famous that she doesn't seem to do anything. you're kidding, right? Lana is lazy as fuck, but she's still talented.

out of curiosity, do you unironically believe that music is automatically good just because it sells more?

...not really. Commercial suicide is more like: Barely promoting your album Abandoning your album after it was released (or even beforehand) Not promoting anything Not promoting an album via an actual tour Not performing or barely performing songs from said albums Basically, of the things Lana has done in her career, West Coast was not commercial suicide.

Why do people brag about having not listened to Best American Record/Architecture? It's not like Lana is gonna show up at your house with a reward...

I don't think she hates them. It's probably that she's still synonymous with Born To Die and Born To Die-era songs. Please no. Best American Record sounds like a daring title. And Fame...is just boring and cliche. Prediction: They won't release anything for another month. "Anything" including information about the record. Also, I wonder if we (the fans) killed "Love" like some people liked to claim or if Lana herself killed it...

lana would be v upset if she was reading this thread and seeing y'all badmouth her sister.

I want this but not on LDR5. Lana should rerecord the song with A$AP Rocky and have him put it on a mixtape or something. No Nicki at all. Idea: 2 CD deluxe edition with LDR5 on one CD and a completely remastered AKA on the other.

I ask mostly because I'm curious if anyone (other than her own friends) has been following her since AKA times.

this you're such an edgy, edgy person. i just can't take how fucking edgy you are.

There are so many different things I'd want her to do tbh. Unreleased: 1. Yes to Heaven 2. Fine China 3. Wayamaya 4. Forever Angels 5. Never Let Me Go Covers: 1. Inside by Jobriath 2. Can't Help Falling In Love by Elvis 3. I Have Forgiven Jesus by Morrissey 4. I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry by Hank Williams 5. MacArthur Park by Donna Summer

Has "Love" even played on any American radio stations?

I hope that weirdness never repeats itself.

I really hope a reworked/more complete version of Fine China is on LDR5.

How though? The only way for a musician/writer to use their potential is via...music and writing.

I want her to do a disco record tbh. Meet Me In The Pale Moonlight shows she's capable of it, on par with Donna Summer even. I could only imagine a Georgio Moroder/Nile Rodgers-produced album. This is something I actively dream of.

That's not really a good reason to squander buzz. But she's not using any of this potential, so it is going to waste. Why do we need to respect them, though? Lana chose to become famous. She chose to be a singer. She chose to be signed to one of the largest record labels in the world. She could easily have ended up like hundreds of other failed musicians. Thus, her actions in regard to her job can and should be open to criticism and critique. tbh I don't understand the point of playing barely any songs from Paradise, Honeymoon, or Ultraviolence. she knows her fans, the people who pay to see her live, know her work, including her unreleased material. so there should be no problem with performing other stuff.

Exactly this. I'm not against indie artists or labels, I just don't think Lana does anything to promote her career and that she'd fall flat on her face doing any of the shit she does(n't do) if she were given an indie label-level budget.

That would only make her album releases messier tbh.

Lana Release the goddamn album already

At this point, I'm expecting LDR5 to get cancelled or pushed back or something.

Swan Song was decent imo but 24 should never have been put on the album. It was awful. Unrelated: Considering how terrible this era has gone thus far, I don't actually have faith that this album is going to come out unless I get hard information (release date, tracklist, title, etc.)
