On iTunes. Nectar of the God also, and Thunder and I think Black Bathing Suit?!

Oh i just noticed that Sweet Carolina is somewhat explicit and is hypnotic according to Rob… Now I am hyped.

I have no self-control when it comes to her, so if I still want surprises when the album drops, I don’t want any single either. Besides, we all thought we’d get White Dress before release and well, we know how this turned out. We’re so close to release that we’ll get a MV when the album drops or shortly after, I think.

Cherry is amazing… it’s the association with her « sexy songs » that I’m unsure of. . The beat of Cherry is sexy AF and mysterious, but the lyrics aren’t. anyways, Can’t wait for the songs after the interlude… I see no lies.

My first unreleased were Black Beauty (demo) and Angels Forever. I began loving her after Tropico came out. I had bought the album and EP and wanted to hear if she had done anything else. I went to YouTube and was so surprised to discover her unreleased…I had no idea that she had been hacked. Serial Killer was on that playlist also, Never Let Me Go. Even though I didn’t love all the songs that had leaked (even today, I find many of her leaks overrated : people here are always saying « it’s her best song ever!! » when many are very basic or very demo-ish), it was as if I had found out a new album by her that night

I love that Lana doesn’t do deluxe editions of her album anymore because of the damn bonus tracks that are always impossible to get legally on all platforms. But I’d be down for that RCS edition if she released it six months after release, as long as it’s available everywhere

I love how no one has heard BBS yet… I hope it’s a sexy bop

I ordered the alternate covers of the CDs through her website with the Hope of a early shipment Nan we can wait a little longer. But on the weekend of October 8, it’s a national holiday here… that would be incredibly good timing

It was a couple of pages back. Lustforlife mostly. I read it quickly so I might recall wrong. Black Bathing Suit is an invite but we don’t know much more (insiders want us to be surprised but LFL fans will love it), one of them apparently has surf rock elements to it (can’t remember which), Sweet Carolina is co-written by her father and Chuck and is the best closer she ever written. on another note: I love the kitschy spaghetti western elements to Text Book, Wildflower Wildfire, Arcadia and the Interlude

This album has me so happy with the tracklist so far, especially with the leaked songs. My only deception though is Rock Candy Sweet being scrapped. I guess it really didn’t fit the vibe of the album. I hope she releases it « soonish » (haha)

Agree with both of you! If a number 1 album was the goal with her previous albums, since Norman, I don’t think it matters that much to Interscope: Norman was a critic darling, Chemtrails had impressive vinyl sales… Lana is a singer-songwriter. To wish for her to sell as many albums as the top five pop female stars is utopia at this point.

We sorta run out of options… tracklist is posted, insiders gave us the tea on the songs we knew nothing about, there are no interviews, she’s off the grid… watch out this thread though if the album leaks because of early shipments…

This game is way too hard lol. it’s Sophie’s choice but with a family the size of the Von Trapps my only certainty is: 3. Venice Bitch because it’s my fave from her, but I do realize that I had to give Shades of Cool the chop

Bah! Same happened in 2015. Adele took the commercial crown but Lana released her timeless masterpiece HM. They are in different spheres and Lana can’t compete with that number-wise, but we know who we love… (seriously, Adele is giving me such « lazy vibes »… by the time she releases the follow up to 25, Lana released FOUR albums and a poetry book since, I mean…)

Cause there’s nothing to talk about… like the future and those things… ive been busy with work, but the only thing that happened is a snippet posted of a LFL demo that we call « On and On ». Other than that, I don’t think anything happened this week.

She should release them as standalone singles and be done with it, at this point lol

I agree with you that using the f* word isn’t nice, joke or not. It’s mostly used as a joke, often by queer members themselves. As long as it’s not down right attacks on someone, it’s « allowed » though not encouraged. As for the leaks and asking for a link, you have to remember that LanaBoards got into a lot of trouble during the LFL era, when Lana’s team though the leak for Love had occurred here. The site was almost closed because of that. We can’t ask for a link or post one or even hint at one (even via DMs) of new music that will be officially released. The rules are less severe when it comes to songs that were scrapped or demos.

This! If I were her, I also would have been so pissed to have so many replies or comments in the vein of « Lazy Bich! Why didn’t you include **that song** on BB? » She seems to have had a lot of negative comments with the COCC cover and tracklist when, in fact, releasing an album is supposed to be a happy event for everyone. And BB is all about the music speaking for itself and a big FU to haters (critics or « fans »). We have so many versions of Cherry Blossom that I’m super curious about the final official one. It’s probably why I don’t go back to that track that often even if it’s gorgeous: I probably didn’t keep the best version

I really hope that of those are true. This album would really be a great « looking back at all eras » homage.

It’s true we do bring it up often, but I see pregnancy as the only thing ta could slow down her music / creative drive. Plus she is in her thirties and many women do feel the « urgency » around that decade if they didn’t have a child yet. But who knows, honestly.

Maybe one of the projects she wants to attend to is having a kid, therefore wanting to be out of the public eye…

Random thoughts on the album: - Text Book is all about her daddy issues; WFWF is all about her mommy issues, so maybe the album has two parts: first, how her daddy issues impacted her relationships and how her mommy issues impacted them as well; - Sweet Carolina could be how she made peace with her dad, or has some hints at it (since he co-write it); - Arcadia is probably the word she did say summarized the last 18 months of her life and that she alluded to in an interview (Music Week? Can’t remember); - BoZ saying Arcadia was mainly piano makes me wonder if he heard the MV version, with little to no strings and horns; - The horns on Arcadia bring a sorta victory sound to her « battle » with critics.

The only positive thing I see to her deactivate her socials is that it’s the end of false release dates… but watch her reactivate them just to post one for this project

I can only imagine that dealing the DMs mustn’t be a piece of cake everyday. And it honestly made a bold « statement ». Whether we understand the decision or not, it surely have all of us talking about it, just like the Picsart selfie covers. and to think that she didn’t even post the tracklist (probably because she didn’t want to deal with « Bitch, you didn’t include **that song** on BB?!? » in her comments, which people do)…
