I highly doubt that Lana will even be thinking about going that direction. She already has her own aesthetic and will probably keep to that just with a different sound for the album. I'm sure it will definitely sound like a 'Lana' album, she's not the type too let someone change her sound and aesthetic.

Honestly I can see Mark Ronson producing an album with a sound closer to BTD than UV, so just comparing Lana's work so far I'm thinking the album will have a lighter tone to it. It obviously won't be a BTD.part2 but I'm excited for the direction she is headed in.

You don't know this so...

I'd love to hear the demo's she made before Dan worked on them to see how they differ in sound. Saying that didn't she make a lot of the songs with Dan and just scrapped what she had already made? I don't know If I'm getting this right. I enjoyed UV so I wasn't dissapointed in the album, I just preferred BTD a lot more and I hope that the sound of the new one will be closer to BTD and sound like something than Haynie, Heath and Nowels would put their touch on. I'm hoping she will be working with them for some songs on the new album. Even though I enjoyed UV It was a lot darker to BTD so I'm hoping this album will be a lot lighter.

Now!! I can't wait to hear her version of DLMBM I love Nina Simone's version although the lyrics make me think it might have been a better fit for the UV album.

I'd like that.

You quoted me............ But anyway moving on..................

Cool it? I don't see what's wrong with saying what we want, this is a discussion forum so obviously we're going to discuss what we want for the album etc. It's like we're saying if she doesn't do a, b or c where gonna stop being a fan. No one is even being demanding, we're just discussing what things we would like her to do on her next record / visuals. I wish people would stop being over protective over Lana, like shes some innocent sensitive girl. She's famous and in the public eye, people are going to have opinions on her whether she likes them or not. People are allowed to give criticism, no one is being nasty towards her. People are also going to have an opinion of what they want for the next era, nothing wrong with that either.

I might read it anyway as it sounds like a great book. Any suggestions on novels that would be a great too read as a Lana fan?

I think she would look better if the clothes fit her better, but she must have been going for an over sized look. Its a nice look though.

I want the beehive back in full swing, Its Iconic for Lana to be honest. I want her to have that glamour that she had during BTD, I mean I've enjoyed her more casual looks as well, but glamorous Lana or always the best for me.

I like that Lana is probably paying homage to Marilyn Monroe.

In that case we need that stylist back because she looked great back then.

Lana's one of those people that looks great even with awful clothes on because her hair and makeup is always perfect. That dress isn't awful like but its not great, but she looks 'nice' overall because her hair and makeup is spot on as usual. If she could fire who ever styles her and get someone else that would be great....

Thanks for the replies everyone, I might read it cos everyone seems to like it. I'm just wondering though as a Lana fan, is it good? Like does it fit well with the lyrics from OTTR's?

Is the novel OTTR's is based on called Lolita? Anyone read it? Is it worth reading as a Lana fan? The lyrics fascinate me in the song so I think I'd enjoy the novel.

Yeah I can see what you mean about it being a one time event and that's fine because it makes it a special song, although it would be great if she started performing it. But if she could do an uptempo song with hip hop beats for the next album that would be great. That doesn't bother me tbh, but each to their own. I prefer the overproduction on some of the BTD songs, for me its properly produced rather than left similar to a demo, not to shade UV because I really like the album but I prefer BTD a lot more because of the production of her vocals. THIS!!!! I need another Video Games, I feel like Young & Beautiful and Old Money fit the same mood as Video Games so I'm hoping for another song like them. I could do without a Cruel World song though.. Give me more songs in the style of Video Games Blue Jeans Off To The Races Born To Die National Anthem American Radio Million Dollar Man Old Money And I'd love another one like Diet Mountain Dew.

If we get some uptempo's like Off To The Races Ill be so happy, that song is pure gold. Or even just one upbeat song like OTTR's, its a standout track.

I'd love to hear the demo's of UV if they sounded a lot different to what Dan did with those songs. I'm hoping Mark Ronson will bring back the hip hop beats, I loved them on BTD. Off To The races Can anyone make a summary of everything we know about this album so far please.

This is exactly what I want Although I'd prefer her to go back to ginger hair.

But Lana understands the whole 'package' thing though, hence why she creates visuals for her music....... There's nothing wrong with liking the visuals as much as the music, its half the reason I love Lana, that doesn't make me a bad fan at all. I appreciate her music and love it but her visuals are so interesting and great to watch. If people want to discuss what hair colour they want her too have or style of clothing, thats fine, they're not unappreciative of her music, they're just stating what else they want visually. Lana releases her music commercially whether her music is or isn't so the whole package is important. I personally love her jazz music so I'm happy for more of that but just because some people would rather not have it doesn't make them a bad fan.

When she announced the name of Ultraviolence how did she do it? Was it to paparazzi? I'm hoping something might be in the works soon, maybe a single, because surely she wouldn't be allowed to talk about this stuff to magazines if it wasn't near ready for release.

My heart can't take all this amazing news!!! Honeymoon - Is this the return of Lana's BTD alphabet - Pale Moonlight

I getting hyped for this album and I'm sure its because of this thread rather than Lana starting to tease.... because she has hardly teased anything...

I'd rather have new music than a re-release, the songs are already there to listen too.
