As I said before, im Not ruling out September as a possible release (yet), if she submits the album in March for physical releases. If she’s been working at it for four years, it’s a possibility. However, October or November seems more plausible given her track record on release dates and anyways, if a preorder doesn’t come with a date, then it’s almost a « manifestation » at this point with her

And yet again, she announced it in the weirdest way possible, just like we got the OB preorder date out of nowhere

Ocean Blvd was and still is pretty much what I wanted from a Lana album since Norman. So even if I don’t love Lasso, she gave us that masterpiece before. If she had gone country after BB (if i don’t like it), i would have been so disappointed.

NFR was worse: HIaB has been teased almost a year and a half before release

I’ll first listen to Blue Skies before craving a a single from Lasso

12 hours later, we’ve got 45 pages in the pre-release thread. She sure has us talking by bringing up the word country

Do modern country singers have horses on their cover? This is my main concern at the moment: that the album could be a parody of country. She would seriously be dragged by critics and country music lovers. A horse, lasso, giddy up… It could be incredible and kitsch, I just hope it’s not a parody of the genre

By June we’ll surely have heard a single at least (unless it’s very much postponed)

Im not kidding myself, we’ll get a Nikki collab for sure. I just hope though that there won’t be three… Give us the best one so it won’t be a complete Lana X Nikki LP (I don’t hate Nikki by the way, but she ain’t my fave collab either)

Imagine a collab with The Weeknd for Lasso, full blown country

That’s what I was thinking. Henry, Come On has similarities with COcC tracks, and BoZ did say Loved You Then and Now had the « COcC sound » (which he disliked), so I think it’s not completely impossible it could be included on Lasso

horse: Too much on the nose

I hope there isn’t a fucking horse on the cover

Im sure many LB members will come back to this era if they hate the Lasso one In my mind, there was one on her stolen laptop.

Lana has always had those quirky / kitschy lyrics throughout her songs, like the iPad line in Hope, that only her can pull off. i hope the some of the lyrics will be like that and not fall into « parody of country ». Critics would drag her for that for sure and with country, it could be a line easily crossed (already, the title Lasso is kitschy and the giddy up line also…)

At least we’ll get guitars for sure With preorder in April ?

Im still not « over the moon » with this new project TBH, but at least she posted Henry, Come On before announcing it was a country LP coming next. I really like what we heard so far, so I’m not « scared » . Plus it sure was coming at some point, so it’s not really a surprise

Confession: I don’t know what happened in the last week, but Breaking Up Slowly has finally clicked with me The melody, the lyrics, the production: it reminds me of how a big storm feels like, before it breaks… and yet it never does… (Please, mods, don’t ban me!!!)

Country is one of the biggest genres in the US and Canada… She really could be adding lots of new fans if they feel the album is « authentic »

Anyone else worried about the September date? I mean, she needs to submit the album five to six months before release and we’re in February… She’d have a month, month and half left to go…

I haven’t commented yesterday on that anonymous voter’s comment about Lana because not only was it unfair to Lana, but it frustrated me too much. This is misogyny at its best: we still hold against a woman a misstep made 12 years ago, that wasn’t even a big deal in the grand scheme of things, she redeemed herself so many times over and meanwhile, men get to be « forgiven » or have the most ridiculous sentences for being sex predators… I know it’s not the same, but a man could fuck up on SNL and nobody would bat an eye for sure.

I’m not a big fan of country either but I think Lasso will sound more Americana than « traditional country ». She already has songs that sound like this : Riverside with Barrie, the official version of SYTH, Breaking Up Slowly, Nectar of the Gods… I’m curious about the project since she’s been cooking it for four years (which translates to me that the songs will be strong) country sure is big in America and GP will eat it up.

So… lead single this spring? We need Hey Blue Baby!!!!

I would be mindblown with a 50-60s jazz and trip hop album it could dethrone Venice Bitch’s release as my all-time favourite Lana Stan moment

Jazzy Lana is the best (trippy Lana is equally good ) Buddy’s RV was my most streamed song in 2022 and Blue Skies has such potential of being a masterpiece.
