so monday it is? http://www.noise11.com/news/new-music-releases-for-19-may-2017-20170519

i think you are delusional if you believe lana would release an album without a pre-order.

"soon"

I find it quite remarkable that there are still ppl who srsly believe that this album is coming out next week

In some parts of the world. Not in the US though. HOWEVER, will this entire roll out, Lana may pull a Carly Rae in terms of sales

LDR just dmed me and told me her nü alboom is called Melodrama

TAYLOR SWIFT WAS FOUND DEAD

shouldn't you be busy having a meltdown?

Shameless

On the other hand, I don't know what they were expecting. Songs become hits with payola on Spotify and radio. They did very little when it comes to Spotify and nothing in the US for radio. The fact that they can not place her on any radio format in the US is a real stunner.

Well, I mean, I get why they didn't want it for a single, it's obvious. And they agreed to pay for Tropico, but it was just not finished in time, it was months late. I mean MONTHS, not just a week or two. And then, they even gave her money for the big release party and all. I wonder what they were thinking. It would have been way cheaper to make a video for G&M and just call it a day. Or to simply make another song off BTD a single with a proper video like Radio or Diet Mtn Dew

It's not about the quality guys, the quality has always been there, sometimes it was more approachable than other times, but always out of question. I am following Lana since 2011 and how her releases get executed is for the most part, a big, big, GIANT mess. It is quite disrespectful towards the actual material, but also towards her fans sometimes. I mean, something like that can happen once. That would be okay, even a second time might be understandable. But four times in a row, I wonder if they never think about it that it actually costs them more money in the end than what they get out of it. It is just disappointing overall.

Well, at first Interscope hated Ride and it was openly discussed with Lana. Then after a few tv performances in Europe, there was no follow up to Ride til Tropico came out way too late and it was recieved pretty badly. Lana wanted Cola as the second single but unsurprisingly and for understandable reasons, Universal never wanted the song as a single. The fact that Universal even agreed to do Tropico is truly a mystery. She also never hired Mandler after Tropico again.

I am just stunned that every time we have a new album, it seems like it always ends up in a big mess. It started with Paradise and here we are now almost five years and three albums later and it is happening again. There is zero focus and no vision at all.

It's actually not even that hard to pull it off, however you would still need a proper plan and that totally goes against her laziness and the laziness of her management.

Magazines don't matter. The video for LFL will not create any significant buzz, but it needs to be out to move on. She could however use the remaining songs from the album to create buzz.

Well, in the UK Love has gotten quite a lot of spins on radio, but sadly she was sandwiched between Ed's and Kendrick's songs (and I mean their entire album tracks) when they released. She had no chance without, let's say a proper campaign to succeed against them. Their songs flooded iTunes and Spotify like crazy. In the US, Love was supposed to be send out to pop and hac, but they decided to pull it back last minute. it had some spins on triple a which has a very small audience. LFL is currently B-playlist on Radio1, but the song had a negative response quite frankly. It recieved mixed reactions from Lana's fanbase and Abel's didn't care. To make things worse. Interscope had big releases when Love came out that were charting high Gaga Kygo & Selena Imagine Dragons Maroon 5 preparing themselves for the Kendrick release. All of them recieve a lot of airplay, Lana recieves very little.

Ben already said it is entirely different from HM.

but HM had a tight build up. All the songs came one after the other very fast. This release is streched out because they probably thought either Love or LFL would do moderately well and they didn't.

I mean, if Interscope decided to push it back, it is understandable. Love didn't become even a moderate hit, LFL is on the B-playlist on Radio1 and is hardly inside the UK Top100 on iTunes and out of the Spotify Top200. The songs they thought had the best chances to pick up, failed. When you have one of the biggest stars right now on your single and it entirely bombs, I can understand that they might want a song to bring her back on track before they release the album. And magazines are irrelevant. Nobody reads them aside from hardcore fans

If I was Lana, I would use the time wisely til July and re-start the era. Release the video for Lust For Life although it won't give the song any boost or her any significant exposure and then release a bunch of promo singles. Cherry seems like a good pick from the little we have heard of. Releasing Coachella was a mistake and that song should not have a place on the album.
