on the topic of her albums covers i thought born to die was supposed to be a reference to the movie blue velvet, lust for life seems meaningful too just because it's simple i think it symbolizes quintessential LDR with her standing in front of a car with the blue sky as the background but this time she's smiling because LFL was supposed to be the 180 of BTD



also nfr's cover her face is clearly photoshopped too much i mean it's crazy how much it looks identical to her face on the BTD cover just with a different lip color

is it bad i still think nicole did the shoot... that post and her pfp and how she was reminiscing an old shoot with lana... can NOT be a coincidence.
if it all was a coincidence, the universe has something against us.

I think Chuck did the shoot. I hope Lana will have blonde hair,

i like this minus the mask part. Cause it’s too “current” and also she doesn’t wear a mask irl lmao

Cover idea that could be bad idk: She's at a party at the country club and she's the only one wearing a mask. Everybody's dancing and laughing while she's looking up in the sky at the ''chemtrails''. Everybody is living the rich LA lifestyle, not worried about the chemtrails or the virus while she's the sad, woke one, LOL 

Just because the cover is "meaningful" doesnt mean its good. Nfr cover was tacky with that dude, the colors and the tragic font

Hey blue baby put that hank Williams on

I’m undecided on whether I want an album that flows even more seamlessly than Honeymoon or if I want one that’s even more all over the place than Lust for Life, but I kinda hope it’s one extreme or the other.

The NFR album cover is her most elaborated yet, it even references three songs, MAC (You lose your way, just take my hand/You’re lost at sea, then I'll command your boat to me again), The greatest (LA’s in flames it’s getting hot) and FIILY (I like to see everything in neon). This album cover has an actual concept, unlike her other albums where she’s basically standing in front of a car. Only the HM one is more elaborated, but there’s not much depth in any of her other album covers.
But if you prefer covers like BTD where there’s basically nothing, you do you. I just hope Nicole’s skills with photoshop improved because she did Lana’s face dirty on BTD

Lana needs another getting high Idc. Stoner Lana is coming I can feel it

I completely agree, I was so disappointed when I saw the NFR cover it's made up of ideas that could look good by themselves but when she mixed them together it just ended up looking messy. Especially after all the amazing ideas people here on lb have had I'm probably going to be disappointed again and end up using a fanmade cover.

Tbh that's what I'm kinda worried about. Her covers have kinda progressively gotten worse with her albums. I mean the LFL cover was just kinda...eh. Lana standing slightly titled and stiffly with that creepy smile. Also, the NFR cover was just kinda all over the place. Don't get me wrong I like the concept of the cover and the painted blue sky is beautiful. However, they looked mismatched, the colour palette doesn't fit (her coat, her nail polish, her gray-ish skin), the font is honestly ugly and the perspective of the picture makes her hand look hella big. The whole thing just looked "too crowded" with different ideas, amateur and DIY.
 
I hope on COCC that the cover is actually beautiful and is actually edited out properly. I hold on to the believe that Nicole Nodland is actually apart of this and will come through with some great visuals.

Honestly, the album cover will be better than we expect, look at the Norman album cover, she pulled through. She did that and the album trailer and the Fuck It music video, all in secret... She'll have something planned if she is launching this album as an era.
 
However, she did state that this release would be a suprise and more low-key, obviously it's no longer a surprise (Beyonce style) since she told us September 4th/5th... But I interpret her meaning of surprise as it will just appear on streaming with no real promo etc.
 
However, to counter act that, she's signed to a major label and therefore there will be some element of promo. A pre-order, album cover reveal. Probably a Beats 1 interview and an appearance on Annie Mac even just a week or two before release to play something from the album.
 
I imagine we'll hear more from her about the album once the audio book version of Violet is released, I don't think her team would want to overwhelm fans and the GP with 2 projects at once... We know bundles existed so its possible that they have some sort of Violet / Chem bundle in the pipeline... Either way, I'm excited!

Regardless I think it may be a very simple album cover. I’m sure Chuck has a plan for the whole thing!

now who's bending Violet over in the grass then??? omg lana's writing erotica

i will say it's funny how the poetry book literally has "violet" in the title but the color she decided to associate with the project is...orange?

grimes. lady gaga. and y'all are gonna be mad at me for this one: fka twigs.
 
they're all great but the only notable personality trait i see is "weirdness"

she just gotta say yes or no at this point like i'm getting bored

To be honest, I don’t think we’ll have any sort of vehicle on the cover. I expect a beach a cover like the one in her patent leather do over video. However, to me that seems somewhat unlikely so I’m nearing towards a shoot in her home, similar to her photoshoot with Kurt.

i was referring to when she teases us with snippets in her car 
but YES i do agree, i hope we do get an airplane on the cover. would be very refreshing to see a new mode of transportation. 
 
edit: now that i think about it... maybe there is relevance to this record with her reposting that pic of her infront of a plane with a typewriter?

good. i wanna be surprised. no snippets this era.

seriously shocked we havent gotten a car tease yet.... shes really keeping this lowkey  

So do y'all think the bundles are going to go up once the audiobook is released? I feel like any other time would be kind of strange

wait i always thought she rerecorded the vocals in the studio that's insane

I don't think of Coachella as at all representative of her work though...she wrote it fast and wanted to share it because it was timely; it probably should have been a single and not on the album. I think of Looking for America as the corrective--the idea of Coachella, but done right, both musically and by being a standalone single. 
 
Since "country club" has nothing to do with "country music" I really doubt the album will sound country. If anything a "country club" makes me think midcentury preppy vibes but kinda fucked up (the "chemtrails" part). So...David Lynch teas, basically.
