i just want an album with a bunch of songs like wayamaya / never let me go / on our way / i dont wanna go except more polished. love isnt the sound i had in mind but its still so good, so im keeping hope

dont we want to keep her career alive 

Hope Sandoval for sure, I think they have similar voices so it'll blend really nicely

yes!!! @trayertrash you'd die

I'd like to hear something w/ Lykke Li, Hope Sandoval, Beth Gibbons, Cat Power or Frank Ocean

Hoping she does collab with Courtney Love

tbh i hope her collaborators are behind the scenes and not features tbh i like that she doesn't collaborate with people on her albums.
 
Now we are in the pre-release stage, when do you guys think it will be released? I am hoping like May. I like how there wasn't a big gap between HBTB and Honeymoon but I think it's gonna be a while before the album this time

and not even for a worthwhile video  

You're all killing me with your horrendous collab wishes. Ban yourselves.

Honestly I love both Lana and Marina with all of my heart but I'm struggling to imagine a collab between the two that would actually sound good. Idk, their voices are so different, Marina's voice is a lot more playful and operatic while Lana's is more relaxed and classic. I suppose if they really worked on it, they could probably find a middle ground but honestly it'd probably be awkward and feel "forced", in a way.
 
Idk, I'm sure that Lana wouldn't put out something she's not proud of, and so far there are only about 5 songs in her released discography that I don't really like, everything else is just FANTASTIC!
 
I'm guessing a collab with Zella Day, Lykke Li, A$AP Rocky, The Weeknd or Father John Misty is a lot more likely considering that she's actually friends with these people in real life already or has already worked with them. Honestly, I don't really like the idea of a collab on a Lana album that much but idk, it's probably a bit premature to judge since we don't know who it's with/what the song sounds like. 
 
I'm taking a guess that the majority of the album would still be 100% Lana. I doubt there'd be much more than a couple of collabs, if even that many.

Marina would be such a dated choice for a collab. In retrospect, her work is pretty trite and pretentious.
 
Being the first collab on her own record, I'd like to see someone who is well known as well as well respected in the industry on it.
 
Zella is more probable tbh. A much better choice too

i guess this topic is relevant again
 

Lykke Li, Hope Sandoval or Beth Gibbons

I like to think of lana as like eras of themes as well as like eras with albums, so it's like:
 
AKA: Trailer Park/Trashy
BTD: New York 
Paradise: Biblical/motorcycle culture
UV: Edgy Rock
Honeymoon: soft
 
my prediction:
LDR 5: Galaxy

i cant think of enough rappers who i feel deserve to work with lana lol. kendrick lamar maybe. prepare for lana to release her To Pimp A Butterfly

This whole thing makes me feel so affectionate for her-- that she wrote that it was for us, that she's promoting loving one another, that she's not letting the way that she's been treated get in the way of putting out this record and she's trying not to let us down. Like she's just a good person like no one can say she isn't

also I've said it once and I'll say it again it's totally FJM

hey that's me! :')

She's new to me, but then again she hasn't been around for very long. She's so explicit, creepy, and *clear* in her song lyrics that there's absolutely no way I can't fully face those amazingly dark topics she sings about. She seems influenced by horror literature (both quiet and splatterpunk sides), so I like the fact that she lightens the mood of her songs occasionally with references to sex (as horror literature occasional does). For me, her lyrics exceed her music, but sometimes the music approaches the lyrics, so I hope she continues to develop her musical style.
 
Observatory Mansions is my favorite so far. This song is apparently based on a book of the same name, that I haven't read, by Edward Carey. I would say the song's about death, the futility of maximizing hedons (or collecting things), or something. I especially like the last stanza.
 
and one day they will knock 
the buildings down
like vomit our ghosts 
will all spill out
 
 <<ETA: all links extinct now, except for the Born To Die cover snippet near the end (at least, as of 7/4/19).>>
 


 
She has four videos on Youtube (one for OM made up of vintage movie clips), but most videos are put up by fans. Some songs, like "Blood Brothers" have positive messages (e.g. about friendship); some songs like "Please Eat" (on anorexia) have social relevance, though it's so blunt it will make you cry. 
 
For me, at least, comparisons to LDR are inevitable. This is simply because I have LDR on my brain so much. However, in this case, in some limited respects, I think there are interesting objective bases for comparison. The most obvious comparison, for me, is to May Jailer.  It's the guitar style mainly, but some vocal styling as well, like maybe this could be a parody/homage?
 
"Smitten with you". 


 
She also has similar sorts of infatuations/kinks as May/Lizzy but this is *way* more explicit (see lyrics in description): 


 
<< ETA: I removed the link because it seemed malicious now (according to Kaspersky). I don't know where the interview ended up.>>
However,  unlike LDR, she seems to know how to answer the dreaded "are you a feminist question".
..link removed..
 
Her tweet style is oddly humorous and prolific (reminding me of a Grimezsz tweet style a bit), so she does have a sense of humor, even if her songs don't really have any room for it.
 
Here she refers to "West Coast" in twitter:

  At least, "good god" is more ambiguous than say, "good grief". I wonder what she thought of the video. She may have also seen LDR in Toronto, as she has a March 10 tweet that suggests she was going to go to her show (though maybe they just had lunch).

Her tumblr is where she really exceeds LDR by being more extroverted (although LDR may have been more like this before she got famous). She posted a snippet of a Born to Die cover. It starts off weird (or shakey), but it ends up being just beautiful, imo. Wish it were complete.

She also has a list of 100 influential songs or "game changers" (LDR appears twice, for Born to Die and Ride). When an artist does something like this, it's always incredibly interesting to me (and yeah I'm going to check out the people she cites that I don't know).

There's been a lot of drama over comments in status updates about the line "I'm a fan of pro-ana nation." I think it's an interesting subject, and would like to discuss it here, if we can avoid the drama.
 
While I agree with people critical of the line that it would be problematic if Lana were advocating anorexia, and I see the potential for anorexics to latch onto this, but I don't think that's what she's doing here. To the contrary. She's no more advocating anorexia than she is advocating drugs, drinking, getting beaten by someone with tats on his ass, or fucking your teachers. She's painting a picture of how fucked up she or other girls were in boarding school. The song is written from that perspective, but portrays that perspective as something fucked up.

And also because in the old tweet that lana wrote on her account there were lyrics similar to HDB

Potentially dumb question, would I be allowed to post a link to an Etsy shop (not mine) that has Lana stuff people might be interested in? If so, in which subforum would it go? Sometimes I like to live on the edge but I don't want to break any rules.

.

it looks like sharpie to me.

Wow. Never noticed that. An infinity sign is probably the most basic thing you could get tattooed 

Are there any other pictures of Lana where this infinity tattoo is visible? Did she have this removed?
