I get the Cherry comparison with TJF, CG and Freak, the beat of Cherry is sexy... but the lyrics are depressing AF, which instantly puts me off the sexy mood. It’s still an amazing song, but to me, the other three are sexier.

Well maybe not on Chemtrails’s release, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she released her cover album(s?) late this year or early next year.

If so, to post tidbits of anything related to it, so stretched in time, is getting very tiring.

I really don’t know anymore lol depends of the next days: maybe she’ll post something else (picture, snippet) next with some date release. if today is total silence, I won’t expect anything on Monday.

She will have us on the edge of our seat all week, won’t she? we’re gonna flood the thread with countdowns, « today is the day my Coochie is feeling something », « bich where is WD? » basically, a redo of last week. I’ll copy-paste my posts, it will save us some time.

The nostalgic vibes of her debut is so incredible. White Dress is going to be special.

My 4000th post here is me losing my shit to the White Dress teaser!!! yessss!!!

I think I heard the snippet only three or four times total. I wasn’t impressed by it at first (I even thought the song could be « TOO Lana » in a way), but the melody has something that may be simple but that creeps its way into my head. I wouldn’t be surprised that it could be one of the songs I will sing most often after release.

100% agree. Billie had a good album but AOTY? Nah. only consolation: Norman now sits in the pantheon of the albums that deserved better but became more iconic by not winning the damn Grammy.

We will hear Lana songs / poems for a very long time, but Chemtrails might be her last « original » LDR album for a while?! That’s how I feel about it at the moment. The way Chemtrails is a « short » album, the way she says she doesn’t have a « direction » for the next one yet... We’ll have her other projects, her cover albums, but an original one telling a story? Not sure. but keep in mind that the way she handled the NFR pré-release era, I was sure she was done for a while... only for her to announce WHF the day NFR got released

You’re right. HM was the « make it or break it » era for the hardcore BTD fans; Chemtrails could very be the same for many others.

I remember saying to a lot of my friends, post UV: « Yep that album is just so out of this world but girl’s gonna die with a needle in her arm at 40 »

LFL could have been her best era when it came to absence of meltdowns if Love hadn’t leaked so early plus the BAR leak also. That era would have been a total serve . Coachella was a low point of LFL era. And don’t forget Yosemitegate/ Architecturegate (They didn’t make the cut!!!). not knowing the release date was painful (nothing NFR comparable but it was tough at the time)... only to have an ugly tweet confirm it.

I wasn’t an active member here, maybe this is why I thought it was an « event less » era haha! I liked the rollout of the whole album over a short period of time, being all about the music. But when I really began spending time here, in the LFL era, I was kinda surprised that many at the time thought it was a snooze fest... only for them to come back to it after LFL and really dig it.

You could be totally right about us being too presumptuous about her sales though. One thing is for sure: she certainly is more and more on the path of singer-songwriter. Nobody can expect her to do BIG bestseller sales, I think.

well said. It sure affects her creative process and the control she gets over the next album. No way she could have pulled a Honeymoon if UV hadn't been success. And because LFL was successful, she had all the creative liberty to pull NFR. That being said, though, I don't know they stand now with her. I wouldn't be surprised if she «had» to release a big single, not in the context of an album, just for her to have a success. Don't Call Me Angel is the only reason I don't hate the the song: it gave her some success while not compromising any album with a song out of context.

Anything goes. March 12 seems like the «limit» in my head. But between Monday and the 12th, everything seems plausible (I don't know why we are still looking for a Friday release when she doesn't have a pattern).

They are honestly in different categories. Pop is always the best seller. Plus NFR peaked at number 3... but is her fastest album to reach 1B on Spotify. Don't know how well Chemtrails will do though. The fact that it's Norman's little sister helps, but the singles don't have that much appeal for massive streaming from the GP.

It’s the usual debate about what peak the new album will get, and if we should care or not, with Bieber Coccblocking CoCC

He’s releasing an album on March 19.

It’s one of her best. Yes it’s minimal, but the lyrics are so personal and her voice is so beautiful. It’s not a song that is to be listened to all the time, but in the winter, it hits super hard for me.

My gut is telling me that WD will get the same amount of praise from those that love Hope Is a Dangerous Thing. Plus I cant wait to make the two songs transition from one to the other.

I wish there was an album release without any meltdowns TBH. Didn't happen since Honeymoon.

Same! I don't have a very big collection of her stuff to be honest, but I treated myself when I bought that one. Also got the UV and NFR vinyls from UO even though I never listen to vinyls.
