I have no problem with Jack working with Lana so far. They do bring another vibe to the songs they’re doing together that is unmatched with his other girlies. NFR, Violet and OB have incredible gems (OB had the genius concept of having piano samples - which aren’t always Jack’s best suite IMO - and build production around it, which made the tracks so rich and complex). I still love Chemtrails even if some songs do sound like a couple of Lorde tracks… So, as long as Lana’s ideas aren’t anything like what the other girlies are doing, I’m on board with Jack being a producer.

Yeah, it can’t be a Jack-only album: Taylor got him working 24-7 on all of her albums til his last fucking breath, no matter how uninspiring the songs may sound like

I really dont care about her hair colour or how it could / should affect the era’s album covers

It was, it’s from her Rolling Stone magazine cover story. She doesn’t hold anything back in this interview. more interesting to me though: Skinny is What Was I Made For’s little sister apparently and Rolling Stone calls her new album the best yet she put out 👀

For once, I am in no hurry for the era to start this early Many of my favourite artists are releasing up to July, and I want Lasso to be a bigger era, so the first songs of it need to be released at a time when they’ll be able to shine (and at a time I’ll be able to enjoy them).

I want to believe it could be for Lana (I really love those), but we’ve been deceived how many times already?

TTPD (anthology or not) is really not my fave from her and although I agree with many points made by them, I would have given it 7.5. Its a bit of a low score.

I really like this interpretation. Not that she she necessarily has a clear vision of things to come for her next albums, but there is a sorta pattern so far, in her discography: she has two major landmarks, two albums that defined the American culture or read that said culture : Born to Die and Norman Fucking Rockwell. Norman was preceded by the «transition album », an album for her troubled times. Ocean Blvd is also a transition album, one that helped her grieve. See where I’m going with this? Lasso could be her third Best American Record.

Camila and Lana singing I luv it? I never saw that one coming Sometimes the songs she decides to cover (no tea no shade, I just don’t like that song)

Coachella wasn’t the place to officially launch the era. Coachella was Coachella and not some stepping stone to an album We’re still too far from the supposed September release (if it’s not postponed). Sometimes this forum forgets how patient we become when an era officially begins . She can delay the first single to have a shorter pre-release of three or four months. as for Henry and her announcement at that industry event, some of us mentioned it was probably a strategic move, so she wouldn’t look as a Beyoncé copycat or of any other artist going country if she had said nothing but released a country album in the fall.

The Manuscript is my fave on that part of the album. It’s really heartbreaking

She apparently disses at her fans on a couple of tracks, according to this GQ article 👀 https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/taylor-swift-the-tortured-poets-department-diss

I’ve narrowed the album down to 16 tracks from both parts and it became very good. But 31 songs with minimal production, all about the same period of time… It’s bound to get repetitive at some point. Many lyrics will need time to sink in, but I must admit there are some cringey lines in there. as for the Kim feud, I wasn’t even aware what it was about: I had to check it up on Google. TayTay, get over it indeed!

If you love the 1989 vault tracks, you’ll love this album. I personally think that many songs are a bit of a filler to be honest but I do love 16 tracks out of the 31 she released.

Both have too many songs to my taste

You have the best description for this album

First listen to the « Costco-sized Warehouse Edition ». i get what she was doing, wanting to put out an unedited journal of her breakup, but this is an oversized and undercooked demo-feeling project. Sorry Taylor, it’s too much raw cake for me

I’ve been reading your reviews and comments without having listened to any songs and I really can’t get my head around on the sound of this album.. « It’s Midnights 2.0 » « No it’s not » « reminds me of Reputation » « Reminds me of a mix of folklore and lover and reputation with some Red sounds on one track » Fortnight is probably the song I’m most worried about…

Oh Lana do spill the tea seriously, considering everything bad that happened before her performance, she delivered !!

Geez Courtney is sure flipping her switch in an instant

Five or six months prior is the usual timeframe (or it was last year but I can’t seen how it’s changed with all the vinyl demand). So it would have to be submitted already (like end of last month or first week of this month)

And I do hope that when she starts the era officially that it won’t be too long before we get the album. Long pre-releases bring out the worst in us. And strategy-wise, it’s better for her to wait until summer: spring is packed with releases by major female artists. The lead to Lasso could go very much unnoticed if released during this high-season.

Werent the logo and part of the cowgirl in the chatroom put together by Interscope for her Coachella performance? If so, it seems like her company is really preparing to release Lasso by the end of the year.

Rolling Stone loved her performance, « cimenting her icon status ». Didn’t read the thing but thought it was nice to say

I really liked the show. She looked beautiful, sounded good most of the time (although we do feel she was nervous some times or maybe she got thrown off by her mic having problems). The visuals were nice, loved the Billie moment, the entrance. i guess our expectations were, again, way too high, which feels like it’s a bit of a letdown. with Lana and her team, we always have to tell ourselves that any phrase could mean two things: « Epic » means great stage, « She’ll perform new songs » could mean songs she never sung before and not necessarily the never-heard-before lead single to a new album, « many guest » mean two or three (including Jack), and songs heard at soundcheck (especially unreleased ones) never end up having their official moment on stage
