well lustforlife said they were tentatively going for a September/October release… and DragonWhore said we’d hear something by July… one thing is for sure: if Jack’s part is not done, the album won’t be for some time: he is going on tour for a good part of summer.

I wished we had the title of the album with that interview… but kinda like that it won’t change either if she changes her mind.

I don’t know. It feels like she decided to put it out quickly so she can have the raw / angry feeling coming through?!?? (Sorry, i’m just too happy by it all at the moment)

I see a B&W cover for this one if it’s angry…

Not gonna lie though: love the photos but both covers feel very amateur-ish, with the lettering. I first saw them on IG and thought they were fan-made

It already sounds like a nice opener 🔥❤️

I think people should realize that Jack is not the sole producer of it and maybe some tracks will have him and Drew as producers. Same happened with California (Jack and Zack produced) and it was the best of both worlds… (sorry, I’m a shameless optimistic when it comes to Lana)

Controversial, guys, controversial… which is a surprise. I thought she had gone that route (very gently but still) with Bb, by telling her story…

Ok she looks gorgeous again again again. i hope the raw part feels authentic

This album with Jack will probably be my « break it or make it » moment with him regarding his involvement in her career. So far, I love what they put out together and he gave me some of my favourite songs from her. NFR has its signature, Chemtrails also (even if some tracks remind us of others he produced for the girlies), and I hope LDR9 has a distinct sound as well. She can keep Jack on board as much as she wants if the sound is distinct, so maybe he could be one of many producers on her next projects…

With her, who knows? The last two albums were very reflexive on her career and her past; maybe she wants to jump into a more « regular » era? She has gain a bit of momentum this year, with TikTok, some tracks going viral and a growing number of listeners: maybe Interscope will want to beat the iron while it’s hot and release something a bit more upbeat? Speaking of Interscope, I don’t know where they stand with the whole « let’s release physical copies same week as release day », with the vinyl supply chain on its head, incapable to meet demand (BB would probably have been number 2 or 3 on release week if all the physical copies had been ready on time). Maybe she could release the album digitally first if there are enough bops on it? (It’s a reach, I know…)

Again, simply gorgeous

Agree 💯. I mean, this post got me excited because I love when she includes songs she improved or that she did in one take: they often feel more « vulnerable ». And to judge a song before we heard nothing of it yet is a bit too much.

Hello Marc Forne! And thanks for the info!

Green looks gorgeous on her. Who is THIS?!?

Anyways, I don’t get why this post is a surprise to the Jack haters (or even the piano ballad haters) all of a sudden. I mean, we´ve known for a while he was involved on the next album… (and lustforlife did say there was piano but other instruments as well) and Rob plays the damn piano on at least a song.

I doubt it if the text is from her voice notes. She did help pen a Bleachers song on their last album, but I think Jack and her composed together rather than improv a melody with her voice notes.

Especially Chemtrails.

Exactly. Anyways, at this point, it’s clear she calls the shot, no matter who she works with. Mike Dean is the best example.

You’re reaching, I think. Maybe you’re right, maybe those bombastic songs aren’t that good, it’s always a possibility, but I think they mostly didn’t fit the singer-songwriter-Laurel-Canyon vibe of NFR or the quiet folky mood of COCC. Lana is Lana and always releases a collection of songs that fit a certain vibe, and not giving a damn if the tossed song is a hit.

Well, we have no proof the final song will be piano only.
