You’re probably right. Lyric tease or general feeling of songs… She did the same, Chemtrails era, teasing lyrics for the title track in her captions (and even ideas that ended up in the MV).

I’m not too worried about the burden he could put on her: their management really seems to be to do the most to accommodate both parties (artist and record company). Will she have to tour again? Hell y’a. On this day and age, it’s the main source of revenue for an artist and a record company. But she probably will be able to do it on her own terms (my guess: she will finish the NFR tour she couldn’t do and some music festivals next year). As for the sound of the next album (or the ones after)… I love that she can do pretty much what she wants, but it would be weird if her only future successes came from a non-album collab or a cover . It’s not the case at the moment, but…

BoZ confirmed that WCE and LYTAN are two separate songs that share one line in common (RCS), like the candle in the wind line in three songs from her.

They are also taking W magazine’s interview for what’s to come. And when we think of it, this is the only official piece of info we have of this album. (except Rob’s posts) and here we are at 88 pages of pre-release.

I wasn’t a big fan of these as “official era” photos to begin with Reminds me of when my girlfriends and I, as teenagers, made photos for the sake of it, thinking we were all supermodels but it looked exactly what it was supposed to look like: shot by teenagers with no budget.

We haven’t seen her in the studio for a long time… she either: 1- is taking a break from the album; 2- is done with it.

She can release whatever she wants, even though my wish would be for bigger songs this time around. If there are summery songs in the mix, I want them this summer but if there aren’t, I can wait a bit longer. (watch me do a 180 degree turn tomorrow )

Maybe their collabs will be on Nikki’s album?

I love those aesthetics… but culturally speaking, it would be perceived as a “set back” in her own timeline. my dream project of her, while still being ironic, controversial and feminist-ish, would be if she had a whole album where she is now a cult leader Trippy vibes, we are her puppets…

I don’t think she minds at all that her management is teasing the new album; if she did, she wouldn’t even had posted videos in the studio and she would have kept her father from his phone Rob is the one that “teased” the most this era. It could even be her strategy, this time around: people around her talk about it and not her as much.

What if insiders decided to let her do her “surprise” announcement? Or even a surprise drop, while we’re on the delulu train.

Of all the fakes titles, that one I not only live but could see Lana pull off.

Now that I am manifesting! Her best pre-release era ever.

White Dress is magical. Although different from the greatest, it’s a nice successor (which I didn’t think it could be possible). And the piano melody is superb (which is never Jack’s strongest suit )

LB is fighting… for the fourth? Fifth time? More? Where are we in the cycle when we reach that point? If scat is coming too, we’re getting this album way sooner than we thought

Same. Plus twice in 48 hours?!? I mean… (I’m mostly anxious to see if DragonWhore is the insider he says he is … he did say DNC would be out in July…)

TJF is one of the highlights of COCC, IMO, and I’m not sure he could have brought something else to that song, but who knows. I love both producers: Jack often brought a certain “spark” to their songs, but Rick is better with his piano melodies, plus those romantic arrangements

When I read this morning that she started following Rick on her HM account, my mind went immediately to an announcement, where she’ll tag the producers of the song / album… (call me delulu)

I think it was the plan all along, for both digital and physical copies to be released the same day, but, like I said a couple of times, vinyl plants can’t supply demand. There are delays for everyone. FJM’s latest should have been out in February and got released two months later, Beach House vinyls in Europe were very rare and scarce to come by. There is some new hype around Lana on Spotify at the moment and maybe a digital release could be possible after all.

This. That sentence is what surprised me the most in the whole interview. I was a bit “sad” that there is no Color reference (for that song anyways… she always described a new album based on the songs she was working on currently). And yet I am now super intrigued for a whole album without Color in it…

We’ve all been getting strong HM vibes from this album. It would be fitting to bring back Rick for a couple of tracks…

It all depends if she is done with it already or if she’s still in the process of writing / recording/ mixing. She could have been making LDR9 since last summer and she still couldn’t tour, giving her much time in the studio if she wanted. April and May seem to have been very productive months for this album and she was very quiet in May (and Jack was going back on tour at the end of May). If the album is done and vinyls are being pressed, we could have a end of the year release. If it’s digital only with vinyl preorders, it could be even sooner than that (not counting on that one, to be honest). Spring 2023 seems like a very far away… but who knows?

I can’t wait to finally have a better idea of the direction of this album!!!

There’s also a possibility that a side a project could be released soon: a collab, a soundtrack song… something we have no idea about…

A new single could be a good idea if it’s a mid-tempo boppish one, at the moment: BTD, UV and Norman have hit new records in the last weeks (BTD had its highest numbers since 2012, Same for UV and its 2014 numbers)… Summertime Sadness had its biggest streams for a day this week or last week, BTD will soon hit 4B streams… Lana is on fire 🔥 A new single could be a very good strategy at the moment.
