It seems that BoZ has some official ties to the music industry. He was invited for the press streaming party of Adele’s 30; during BB, he knew about that change of directions, names and possible covers… I think he got the chance to hear the first official single from LDR9, which is likely to be DNC.

So the line Sweet like Rock Candy could be from DNC, maybe?!?

White Dress, Chemtrails, TJF, Dark but Just a Game, Yosemite: they all are magnum to me. NATWAL is also very good. It’s the others that lack a bit something IMO. now I want RCS so bad…

I’m on phone, and I did get screenshot but don’t know how to insert it here!??

I think he liked BB in the end (he sure did buy a CD recently). We know he loves Fine China (so do we), but we got If You Lié Down With Me and so many other demos she got to finish that ended up being wonderful… Chemtrails might have its flaw, but I’m always shocked when someone can’t see how there are perfect songs on it. if it has some NFR twist to it, RCS will be incredible

Imagine a standalone single for January (she really should do that at some point)

He added: « get excited but not too much, don’t know when it’s coming yet but it’s coming and it’s GOOD »

Have y’all seen this? I do follow BoZ on Twitter and it’s real. He said it wasn’t LYTAN but that it wasn’t not Lana

Oh and another thought: maybe LDR9 is an album made of three « EPs »: some covers, some country songs and some « bangers » to « ease up » the Country part and make this album still « accessible »?!? 🤔

Two thoughts on this Monday morning: 1- could DNC mean Desert and Country? The waves being associated with the country part of the land… 2- Loved You Then and Now having a more « bombastic sound » is not that much of a reach, if you consider it was track 8 on the early COCC tracklist. When that song got removed, she tentatively put Dealer in its place to « shake things up » on the album, which makes me think that LYTAN was the first choice to have the « second part » of this album and that it has a different sound from both Norman and Chemtrails.

Nothing is ever set in stone with her, but I do believe we’ll get at least one album from her in 2022. Maybe not LDR9, but the cover album. Let’s not forget how prolific she is when there is no touring to stop her from recording.

Yosemite is an underrated masterpiece. I haven’t listened to it in the actual park, but listening to that magical atmosphere when the sun rises or sets is really an incredible and powerful moment as well.

I don’t think there were that many bombastic songs scrapped from NFR, but they could be the foundation of the next album perhaps or the direction of it at least. Imagine if she mixed these Jack tracks to others from other producers as well

Imagine if the next album has her biggest successes ever

Hope is just so beautifully heartbreaking, these days, with the fucking Omicron variant taking over the world

Lana and FJM… May the gay gods hear you.

I think that special project is the cover album… Why do I think that it was confirmed though? It’s getting harder and harder to figure out what anyone means around her these days lol

My main question, at the moment, is if DNC has something to do with the covers and country album (although, with its wave design, I don’t think it does). Watch her pull another double release in 2022… if not triple, if the audiobook is still happening that year.

The DNC logo, on her jacket, with its wave, better have something to do with the general feeling of the song (at least).

Lol! just read a few pages back… i Love prerelease: the whole theories based on a cryptic and vague story post from her stylist (that got us all excited over almost nothing in the COCC era). we truly never learn and go back for more. Never change, LB, never change

Interesting! although, since NFR, all of her albums are considered solid by the GP. i do see her albums as pairs: BTD - Paradise / UV - HM / LFL - NFR / COCC - BB so the next one should open a new chapter that could follow with the one after. I really hope she switches up a little and goes a little more upbeat this time.

I’ve been relistening to the Chemtrails title track a lot lately and it’s so funny how my year is ending the same way it began, with the same song on loop… Def a winter track and one of her best.

Amen! Chemtrails has some of her best songs but its lows are just too quiet and hard to connect with. Blue Banisters has much more passion to it and is more diverse and stronger overall.

I do prefer Blue Banisters overall as an album, but Chemtrails does have some of her best songs ever. It really is a winter album, with its highs becoming more vibrant : White Dress, title track, TJF, Yosemite, Dark But Just a Game. If only she had pushed the production a bit more for some tracks (Wild at Heart, Breaking Up Slowly, Let Me Love You Like a Woman), making them more « desert rock », more guitar-driven, it would be a perfect album, one that feels a bit more « finished » IMO.
