  1. Ultraviolence was a bit 'heavy' so it would be nice if she went back to a lighter sound for the next album. The direction it sounds like she's going in sounds amazing and exactly what I want from Lana. Beach anthems!! 

     

    This description is perfect - 

     

    The title makes me visualise two girls with sunglasses on, hair blowing in the wind, sitting under a tree watching boys at a skate park, in black and white? every single time i hear the words 'Music To Watch Boys To' i instantly get that visual. every. time.

    You seem to like evoking the 50s imagery in your songs: the golden age of recording studios, ladies singing late at night with their big band…

     

    Yeah, I love it. I love nightlife, the mood that comes from it. That’s why I wanted to meet Mark Ronson: I played him ten songs I just composed for this next album.

     

    I'm not sure how I feel about her working with Mark Ronson. I think I'd either love it or hate it, I think he's great when he works with someone but makes the song true to the artist (like Uptown Funk), so I can see it working well with Lana, as she wouldn't let him change her aesthetic. 

     

    I just need video's for Black Beauty and Old Money before the new era, even though I know I ain't getting them  :defeated:


  3. It's clear that this era is suffering without the financial and artistry support from her label. 

     

    I've not thought about that actually but maybe the label won't support this campaign to the extent the supported BTD. Lets be honest this album is hardly commercial at all, and the label probably isn't too happy about that.

     

    There is definatley something going on between her and the label, either she is refusing to do what they ask, maybe promo on television, live interviews etc, so they won't support her with money etc, or they just don't support an album which is not commercial enough. It wouldn't surprise me if Lana just turned around and said I won't release anything If I can't release this, so they went ahead and let her release it with it being better than nothing.

     

    Just my two cents.


  4. UV could have done really well with continued support. It's already around 1.3 million WW (Ariana Grande's is at 600K by comparison), which is higher than BTD at this stage but the latter had a lot of factors play into its longevity. The music is also less commercial and sales are down in general.

     

    Those sales sounds good tbh, considering she has done zilt promo. 

     

    Its weird though that she has abandoned the album now though, and the excuse she has been busy touring is crap tbh even though its probably the reason why. She hasn't been touring religiously since the album came out, she has been doing dates here and there. Other artists still find time to work on their promo and tour the same time so she has no excuse for that really. 

     

    Its weird that she hasn't made more videos though, as that's something she loves doing. I'm hoping she will release more in the future as I think the fact she has been touring is probably whats stopped her promoting, lets be honest she doesn't like too many things at once haha. How long after did the National Anthem video come out after Born To Die and can anyone remember being shocked she released more videos late on after or did it just feel like part of the campaign.


  5. I hope its not SS, I like it but its so obvious.

     

    Old Money wouldn't be a bad choice either for her character actually, if she uses the metaphor of ''Ill run to you'' as her wanting to be a star.

     

    Young & Beautiful, although obvious, does sort of fit her character and is grand enough too, otherwise I'm thinking Born To Die or something. 

     

    To be honest though it could really be a lot of her songs because the show adapts that well. I doubt anyone thought we would be seeing Sister Jude singing 'The Name Game' In Asylum but it happened.
