I hope he doesn’t!!! It seems we won’t hear RCS for a while, I don’t want to know about the scrapped songs!!

Ok just saw part of the news… Mike Dean is more involved on the album, I think. so no RCS ?!?

I honestly have no idea where the three singles will be on the tracklist mainly because I have no fucking clue how this album is going to sound like. RCS gave me summer vibes mixed with a pinch of UV for the « revenge ». Then there was the BB snippet that sounded spacey and soft. Then Mike Dean was rumoured and confirmed on the album. Then the three singles came out, with « a bit small » Mike Dean production nobody expected, and heavy writing. So what will the rest of the album will sound like?!?! It’s exciting in a way but mostly a bit boring since we know nothing and she decided to stay out of the spotlight (which I can understand in a way, but where the fuck is she in the process of it all?).

I think a preorder with a new single in early July is realistic. With a end of August or September release.

All I want right now is a solid release date, which should come in the next weeks. I don’t mind if she postpones BB later this year because we got Chemtrails in March and three singles already. BoZ’s post about « more to come » gives me hope some things are planned and about to happen.

She kinda doesn’t have a choice, to say something When the project is postponed, she usually updates us around the given date. So before July 4, she will say something, I guess

Haha same! And girl really needs to post something / anything real soon to hype this up to a bare minimum.

Exactly my thoughts! When first listening to the singles, I said to my BF: « This might be the first project from her that I’m not on board right away, that I need to get used to » Love the three songs, but my expectations must have created false hopes of what this album isn’t at the moment. But just like you, I hope we do get some lighter songs, because the three singles are heavy stuff lol Maybe we’ll get news this week?

It’s been too quiet when you wish Ben or Ed would comment that the album isn’t done or something after fans harassed them on socials.

After a few listens, it’s a good song, but the end of it reminds me so much of Freedom by George Michael and a bit of the Moby x Gwen Stefani collab Southside (I love both), that I’m wondering if they’re not too much alike. Is it genius to channel that song or is it too much copied?

Summer or Fall? (Which would be Spring in NZ) fall would be perfect for her hemisphere but kinda weird for the rest of us, maybe? I guess it depends if the rest of the album has that summer vibe. Well look at the bashing on Lana when the site is literally called LanaBoards… Lorde sure will get the toilet treatment no matter what she puts out

I finally listened to the new album. i Love the production and how upbeat it is (even the ballads). The lyrics are a bit too much on the nose and a bit too much « wOkE pOp » (the contradictions are way too easy to find out lol), but the beats and prod are able to salvage the weaker texts. i really love her voice, how reminiscent of her early albums it is. really like it, and Lorde’s as well, at the moment. I needed some lighter and poppier stuff to begin summer with, and as much as I love the three Lana singles and how they form a sorta EP, it is very heavy in terms of content (I call it the Trauma EP haha), and Marina’s newest one is a breath of fresh air in-between Lana’s albums.

I really love those glasses ?

I hate myself for feeling turned on right now, just like I was turned on by a coworker I hated but would have f*cked gladly on a drunken night. back on topic… It’s her eyes I hate on all the damn variations of the selfie. the selfie in itself is similar in quality as the COCC cover (maybe slightly better, when it had the RCS logo attached to it). But the filters give her dead blank eyes.

The end reminds me a lot of Freedom, like BoZ (I think?) had suggested on his Twitter.

I caved in and found it… It’s a cute summer song, but the expectations for her « comeback » were sky-high… I am not the biggest Lorde fan, so that song is good to me, but I get why some found it a bit disappointing.

When you beat Lana in terms of messy releases

Thanks, luv Didn’t know that. I thought she had posted the artwork first.

Fuck yeah!!!! i don’t get why they say the cover art leaked: it was on her website?!? super curious for this one, although Mood Ring is apparently better

Yasssss! Mariah gifs helped, I’m feeling better

I think she doesn’t update anyone (including her team and record company) very often on the progress. So it’s still probably « July » in the plans… until she informs that she’s done and it can’t happen. this thread needs Mariah gifs to lift our spirits.

Maybe ? and yet, the Grammy’s were in February and she posted QFTC end of May… Girl is really holding a grudge

This!!! Not the first time I mention it, but her QFTC post had me wondering: wtf did I miss that she felt the sudden urge to take it out on everyone? Like isn’t she loved now? Or did someone posted some shit about her that I’m unaware of?

A nice cover is a bonus, but I’m with you about the love of music. Even MV are not that important to me. I’m curious about the rest of BB, if there is something a bit lighter in tone. I love the production of the three singles and yeah, they are very personal, but I’m not going back to them that much since last week because I want something a bit more fun to begin my summer. plus the news we get regarding this album are so sparse, my hype is not super high right now.

I never thought it would be that much revenge, or that revenge would be telling her story no matter how unpopular or « un-feminist » it might sound. I think we want anything sounding like UV so bad that when we saw revenge, we all took her word too seriously
