National Anthem

You two.
 
I definitely respect her as an artist and you know I'm trying.  I also won't miss the opportunity to check her album when it comes out, that's for sure. And since I see a lot of you praising "Tennis Court," I'm gonna stop whatever I'm doing at the moment and I'll listen to it (and also "Swingin' Party," thanks for the suggestion), and I'll come back tomorrow to tell what I think of it.

Lorde just became the first female artist to have a #1 on the Billboard Alternative chart in 17 years

SLAY LORDE :crying:

I agree with Chance, if she's not for you, that's okay. You tried, and at least you still have respect for her and what not.
 
But I will add, if you are meaning that you are only listening to the 5 Love Club EP songs, you are truly missing out sir. Like Chance, I was pretty much hooked on first listen, but I still think Tennis Court / Swingin' Party was what really cemented my stanning for Lorde. They are just slightly different in all the right ways (imo)

I really hope that she lies/misleads us in this interview. Without Justin Parker and Rick Nowels we will be back to the Lizzy Grant era. She is great, but she needs help to make her songs bigger. Just a fact.

I wish the original was getting all the attention, but either way the remix is helping sales of the original version immensely anyway and it's promoting Born To Die even though the remix doesn't exactly represent the sound of the album well. I'm really happy for

I actually find her extremely beautiful in the unique way her face is. Her face reminds me of Clemence Poesy and Cate Blanchett. Their faces are very subtly different from most peoples with their shape, eyes, and lips, but it makes them all the more beautiful. Long story short- I'd tap it.

I'll say it, her short hair isn't doing it for me.

The original is getting way more streams than the remix, on the likes of Spotify! 

This week, Lana Del Rey's 'Summertime Sadness' becomes her highest charting song in America, beating her previous peaks with Young and Beautiful and Video Games. This week, 'Summertime Sadness' jump seven places to #16 on the Billboard Hot 100, due to several reason. The rise in the song is due to the remix by Cedric Gervais which accounted for around 60% of the total sales.
 
It also jumps four spots to #9 on the Hot Digital Songs, selling 101,000 copies in the US, totalling 575,529 copies sold so far. That also means, this is Lana Del Rey's third GOLD certification for a single in the US, with her previous two coming from Video Games and Young and Beautiful! 
 
That's not all! Lana Del Rey's 'Summertime Sadness' ends Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' record streak of 10 consecutive weeks of being the Hot 100's top Airplay Gainer as Lana's 'Summertime Sadness' claims the award with a 43% increase to 43 million impressions.
 
On the topic of American charts, in its 80th week on the chart, Lana Del Rey's 'Born To Die' moves up to #28 selling 9,703 copies [+7%] in the US! Being released in January of last year, this album has been consistent and shows that Lana, in the market which she has never been dominant nor relevant, has longevity.

feeling sorry for katy not even jokin roar was growing on me earlier but sweet christ

Thank you both for the suggestions, I will replay her songs tonight and watch all of her videos and listen to the ones that I don't have.

It's kind of refreshing to find an artist who I don't have to dedicate an hour a week to re-organizing because of their humongous discography.

Any way, in other news, let's start anticipating new music! 

We so far have basically (confirmed) new title, 'I'm Not Sorry'. 

 

 

She's for sure been in the studio with Starsmith & William Orbit (though probably not for herself), Dimitri Tikovoi, and....hmm. Who else? Go Gary and the guy who did the theme for 'Community' helped on 'I'm Not Sorry', j.s.y.k. 

The picture of that guy in what, France? I think that's Patrik Berger, but I'm not sure...the quality kinda sucks.

She's now shooting a video in Japan. 

 

In a perfect world, she would have been working with Patrik on a remastering of 'Mess', but we all know that won't happen.

Just realized this thread only has 5 pages... Like seriously?
 
  Also why did I miss out on this lovefest? I LOVE LOVE LOVE "Bedroom Hymns" so much  
I feel like Flo is currently hiding in the shadows because other artists currently have the spotlight on themselves. I gotta admit I haven't payed so much attention to her lately because well... She haven't really done anything major since "Over The Love" for The Great Gatsby. Anyway, I stumbled across this 'old' article and I'm glad to hear she's working on a new album. My guessing is that it could be released next year? According to this tweet she already started recording in Jamaica where she went away for vacation? I am making no sense at this point am I? I just wanted to say that I'm really looking forward seeing what she has to offer in the next album #SLAYTHOSE2014CHARTSFLO

I wouldn't mind having another "Landscape" track in my iTunes library. The demo itself is just pure awesomeness. Bless each and every single one of you out there that likes that song
