Let the gay gods hear you

You could be completely right (we really have no clue so far how those songs will sound). I guess I’m mostly wondering if those bombastic songs are any good

Agree with pretty much everything you said. Lyrically, it’s pretty cohesive, and even if it’s not that much sonically, I really don’t mind : her most cohesive albums are not always my faves (UV and HM are wonderful but COCC is a bit underwhelming even if it’s super cohesive; I guess it all depends on the genre she decided to use for the album ). With BB, I was happy how Dealer switched up things a bit between the « piano parts » of the album.

Disclaimer: the next post will be based solely on an « old » tweet from Honeymouns, who said that there were three outtakes from Norman that made it to COCC (DBJAG, NATWWAL and WAH). And I know that he has lots of unreleased but is not necessarily the best source for info. I wonder how many « bombastic » tracks were left off Norman. Based on the fact that COCC got three softer outtakes from Norman, I don’t think there are more than a few bombastic songs (two? Three?). True, she writes and records a lot of songs, but Norman had 10 songs made with Jack, and she did say that she liked to hang with him, talk and if it lead up to a song, fine, but it wasn’t always the case. So, maybe she could include the best of those tracks on the new album to switch things up a bit?

I really have no idea what to expect from this album… HM X Violet X BB?!?

This version is simply gorgeous (and would fit perfectly at any wedding )

When stars align for her birthday

When she finally posts a snippet or there is a lead, I’ll either : a) collapse and totally lose my shit because it sounds so insanely good; b) ask myself if I’ll end up loving this project. BB took me some time to process, when she released the three singles: I loved BB right from the start, but the RCS post had me thinking she would release summery tracks and well, none of them are. I don’t have much expectations for LDR9, except that I’d want a bigger sound (Buddy’s RV has been on repeat since it got released and anything like that would be a dream, or anything channeling FIILY or Venice Bitch)

I don’t know if those are my fave lyrics, but I really love when she reads a man: « You can be a bad motherfucker but that don’t make you a man » « Goddamn manchild! You fucked me so good that I almost said I love you, you’re fun and you’re wild, but you don’t know half of the shit that you put me through (…) you talk to the walls when the party gets bored of you »

I think maybe July could be a good time to launch the era. Anyways, she hasn’t even posted or commented about the recent US events (I wonder if she’ll do) and I don’t expect anything related to the new album in the following days (would Lana news be good escapism at the moment? Hell yeah! But would it be a good idea? Not sure if she wants to avoid backlash)

Change hit really hard a couple of weeks ago, but God Bless America, these days with everything happening in the States, is something else LFL deserves another chance for whoever called it trash.

I used to see Paradise as an album also… BTD is Lana telling about her troubled teenage years and Paradise is moving away from NY, to LA, to launch her career. So two distinct phases of her life. And musically, it’s different from BTD. But the BTD cover was shot while filming the first and homemade version of the Blue Jeans MV… and the Paradise cover was shot while filming the big budget Blue Jeans MV, which kinda joins the two of them. So I don’t know how to see Paradise anymore, except that it’s brilliant.

And yet, Paradise is longer than so many LP released these days, which sometimes barely are over 30 minutes haha!

Interscope promoted one of her latest album with a number (I think it was Norman as LDR6)… but they never clarified if Paradise was a separate LP or if AKA counted in the lot. Paradise, with 9 tracks on the deluxe version, is one song short from being an album (that are no specific rules about how many songs constitue an album, but 10 and more is usually a LP). It would make sense for Interscope to count the albums they put out and leave out AKA, which was not with them. But they did promote Paradise as an EP when it was out… So, it’s almost a personal choice to count which albums are amongst the 8 she released haha.

Well there’s nothing to talk about lol As long as she doesn’t post anything, it will stay that way apparently. And with the recent news about the right to abortion being overturned, I don’t expect her to post in the next days anything that is not on that subject (and rightfully so: with COCC, she updated us on election night and some media said it was a weird move and maybe not the best timing; I can’t imagine if she announced LDR9 how much backlash she’d get…)

Fuck! I just read that two of the judges who voted in favour of overturning the judgement had been accused of sexual misconduct in the past by multiple women?!? This is outrageous.

Still can’t believe it happened. For blue states, it shouldn’t change much (abortion will remain legal), but I’m afraid USA will be even more divided than before between conservative and liberal states.

This is beyond disgusting. I mean, why? WHY? USA are entering Handmaid’s Tale territory here…

HM’s rollout for a dream. LFL wasn’t so bad, when we think of it (all happened in the span of five months, which is pretty standard in the industry, maybe a bit long though) except for the fact that she finally gave a release date at the end of May when we already had three singles… but there were a lot of interviews and photoshoots during those five months. NFR, however… god how painful it was! Radio silence on her part, almost no interview and when she did, it was for her Gucci collab or to talk about Violet

Orange looks goood on her! She should wear that Color more often

The plastic bag got silenced by Lana’s team

With Drew involved, it’s not that far of a reach indeed that the album could sound like Buddy’s RV.and I’d die for another FJM collab. DragonWhore also said that the feeling of the album was beachy, hazy, lazy, orchestral but with a looming menace underneath it all, trippy (I think?), like a mix of WFWF, MaC and VB. And he also said that there were some bombastic songs on it. It almost seems too good to be true, but the orchestral part was confirmed by Lana in the W interview, so 🤷🏼 There you go, hun

They’re new here. We’ll see if they come through. fl0r1daskil0s called them a liar on multiples occasions. So we’ll see. He talked about a FJM collab and the sound of the album. If their description of the album is true, LDR9 could be one of my faves from her. They also said that DNC would be out in July 🤷🏼
