I’m mostly wondering how « far » she is in the process of this album. Is she feeling it’s coming together and she is almost done writing /recording it, or she feels like she is still in the process of it all, in the « middle ». Is there a planned release date or is it just mere « coming later later »? I know that Lana is Lana and that her creative process is very « unstable » and has its shifts, but still.

The three singles are amazing, this time of year when spring is slowly warming up. I might be a « year too late » when it comes to loving these three songs: my headspace wasn’t at all in the BB atmosphere last year when they were released (I wanted something big and fun to get out of the pandemic, and BB might have been too thoughtful at the moment). But it’s crazy how I connect with most of the songs right now, how perfect they feel.

Honestly, hats to y’alls! nfr’s almost-a-year wait for an album is the most I can take. But you suffered so much more already. My heart goes out to y’all

Bestie! Group 1: pink group 2: golden brown: I love an underdog (not a big fan of Guns and Roses but I love DLMBM)

Indeed she is! Imagine a song where she embraces it though

Manifesting a remake of the song, where SHE is the cult leader

Maybe Lana and Rob being in NYC doesn’t mean anything music-wise… but isn’t Jack’s studio in Brooklyn?

Oh hello, Star Wars fan Star Wars Day being my favorite non-traditional holiday, I’ll settle for the new rumoured Kenobi trailer today, but why can’t I have it all and hope for Lana News? Help me, Lana Del Rey, you’re my only hope

I always love the magazine interviews she does prior to an album… but also fear that she will talk about a damn song and describe it, then cut it from the final tracklist (Yosemite and Dealer tea)

That one grew on me a lot. I hope we get to hear something more hip-hop from her at some point. Maybe not a complete album, but a side project / collab would be nice.

I don’t find it as offensive as people say it is: the trap beat is a bit cheap and the second verse is meh 🫤, but the production isn’t that bad. Maybe it could have been a bit more worked before release.

Yeah she doesn’t even sound like herself on that one. And Jack totally reused the melody from WAH!!!

Amen!

You got a big storm coming

I don’t listen to songs that will be officially released (the shitty quality doesn’t elevate the songs most of the time) or at least try to when the whole album leaks in good quality (I tell myself I already preordered a couple of physical copies).as for unreleased, I do listen to them for Lana (I’m not at all a huge of a Stan for anyone else to start searching every outtake and download them, especially with viruses). I tell myself that she won’t ever release them, so… even though many unreleased are never as good as her official discography. But since Cherry Blossom, Nectar of the Gods and Living Legend ended up on BB unchanged, I do have mixed feelings about them now. Because I was too greedy and curious, it spoiled a bit those songs on BB (the only one I listen to religiously is NOTG).

Or that Jack’s part is done and the other producers are free in the next months 🙏

As long as she doesn’t start teasing way too much in advance a snippet or a false release date, I’ll take news. Even though I’m still very much into the more « spring » songs of Chemtrails and BB

Some are cute (the grey BTD MV picture or the Pepsi bottle cap), but some are plain ugly.

How long before it’s taken down?

I agree with you 100%. As far as « politics » go with Lana and Interscope, lana has to give it a go before sending anything to him. maybe they’re pushing for a remix of a new song or an outtake… or maybe a LFL track since it’s that picture he posted with coke on?!?

Lana doesn’t really seem to care about numbers, but I’m confident her label surely doesn’t. I loved both Chem and BB, they were both lovely and personal butin the past, I got the hint, in past interviews, that after HM, she sat down with her label to plan the singles of LFL, so maybe the same could be happening again?!? Maybe I read too much into this, but I got the feeling there was some kind of « pressure » / gentle push? towards a bigger sound for the album after HM. I have no idea how her label feels since Norman (which proved to be a hit while still having an artistic vision) or the two personal albums after (Chemtrails did great with physical releases, BB not so much I think), maybe it’s just me wanting something just a bit bigger as we’re getting closer to summer and (hopefully) the end of pandemic… or maybe I’m getting too drunk to make sense

Everything you said I agree with I know Lana’s discography is all about telling her story, but I don’t get why she couldn’t release an album of « memories when she had fun ». Chemtrails was a reflexion on her career, BB is another réflexion on her past and present traumas and making peace with them… but why not an album of recollections of celebrations (and not baby showers ), passed parties, beach fun, never ending summers? THAT album could be released digitally only at first.

And it’s complicated because : a) pandemic fucked up all plans for two years when it comes to touring (including some shows on the NFR tour that she couldn’t do); b) it’s Lana lol. There are still a lot of BTD she sings live… Plus, let’s face it, I don’t see many songs from the last two albums being done on stage (Let Me Love You Like a Woman, maybe? White Dress is too « spur of the moment », many songs on BB are very wordy ) so, to answer your question, maybe if LDR9 has a « bigger sound » or has some potential hits, maybe she’ll release it before touring? lustforlife did hint at a world tour… so a new album with « hits » could be a great stunt for her. But who knows with her 🤷‍♂️ And maybe It’s just me manifesting lol

This album needs to be a hit. Both Chemtrails and BB aren’t doing that great with their streaming numbers, she needs to go bigger (ish), like Norman, UV or LFL.
