Oh the season association with albums debate again…

I’m really curious for any single or even snippet at this point, like what is going on?!? The HM channeling through May and June, now the LFL references… (and oddly enough, these are the two albums that aren’t as appreciated - HM by the GP and LFL by us). I don’t think we’re getting a LFL 2.0 (none of her albums is a 2.0), but maybe there’ll be some channeling of it… If there is a “political/peace-oriented” song, I hope it’s in the vein of Looking for America.

If we look back at the LFL trailer, it’s filled with clues about the album: the collabs of course, but the red strawberry is there because the Color red is featured in many songs, the moon symbol for Heroin, the planets and galaxy for Love (could also apply to TNBAR and Yosemite, that both have that “cosmic” samples), the Statue of Liberty for GBA, the Hollywood sign for the title track, the contribution line that ended up on Coachella. The witchy feeling is not really present on any song though (BPBP because of Stevie?! Serene Queen might have been the “witchiest” song of that era but I don’t think anyone said it was even considered for the tracklist). she better announce something related to LDR9 on Tuesday (the meltdowns if she doesn’t)… and I’d love if there was some sort of mystery / cosmic / witchy feeling to tracks for this album…

If it had been for that IG post only, I wouldn’t have batted an eye; but she reposted the LFL trailer AND she included some W mag photos and behind the scenes videos and photo to her Star Align Highlight on HM… it gives more credibility to that theory that she’ll post something album-related on her birthday (if she doesn’t, this is what I’m posting on that day: )

It’s probably been discussed before, but did you see that the “Stars Align” highlight on her account now has the W mag photoshoot included in it and not just the Summertime Sadness little dance she did in Italy!? I mean, I know we don’t Stan Taylor, but it has to mean something album-related…

Just woke up… it can’t be coincidental … The post, the LFL trailer, plus there is already a Stars Align Highlights on her HM account…

You’re probably right

She should pull out a Beyoncé and call the next album BDay at this point

Glad Buddy’s Rendezvous got officially released today: it’s what I needed, after the Rob-might-be-trolling-us gate.

It sounds so amazing in HQ… her most Honeymoon song in years… ”Can I see you again?” Breaks my heart everytime

I’m surprised she didn’t surprise drop it this time.

One of his posts had to be about her though, the one about the beautiful SF songs…

They could… but does she want to have a rerelease with bonus songs? Cause I don’t see them going against her will on the matter…

I wish we knew when to expect some kind of news

I love Arcadia and if songs channel that one, I’m here for it. As for Sweet Carolina, I like the piano, like her voice, it’s cute, but I don’t connect much with it to be honest. Anyways, she never did copy paste a style from a record to the next one, so I guess it’s going to have something unique to it.

I can’t imagine any record company signing him…

I used to love his posts and now, well it’s tiring not knowing

Totally agree. When songs have been finished, I like them most of the time. There a few I adore, but most of them are just meh. I don’t get when everyone on LB loses their shit when a bland demo leaks or an unfinished concept and everyone is like: “it’s better than half of (insert the album it could have been part of)!!!” Like, no, it’s not. With a lot of unreleased, I think it’s the “One that got away” syndrome that is in full effect: had those been released on an album and we wouldn’t even be talking about them most of the time.

Totally agree: I have no clue whatsoever what this album will sound like. I guess it brings back the mystery of her early career, which isn’t a bad thing, but we also got contradictory info so far: wordy, conversational, angry, automatic singing? composing? Jack messing with the 808s, Rob, piano, Drew, ethereal, epic, San Francisco, talking about and channeling a lot HM… and the glamour dark pics from W magazine.

Maybe Rob’s part will be on LDr10? a whole album with him and It could be called Daddy Duets…

I’d love Roses Bloom For You to have an official release, but won’t get my hopes up for that one on LDR9 if the tone is angry like she said it’d be. RBFY seems so serene and soothing…

Yeah I hear that too The ending of that song needs a bit of editing, but until the last minute, it’s sublime (Vagina, vagina, fresh linen ahahaHahAhaha)

Ngl, yes to Heaven doesn’t sound as interesting as it first was to me: too many versions, it’s a very simple song lyrically. Fine China though still sounds as beautiful as the first time I heard it.
