One dollar was when she wanted to bind it herself... Now with the proceeds going (in part I think) to the Navajo community, it had to be more than one buck :/

17 pounds and coming Sept 29

45$ is a lot for a book... Halsey’s book, by the same publisher I believe, is listed at 30-something Canadian dollars, on Amazon.

For the audio book, you mean?

The second book is called Behind the iron gates - views from an institution. Patent Leather is part of that second book.

Well, I guess this is what happens when you want to go small at first and forget you are Lana fucking Del Rey: you can’t do the whole thing alone. Violet is the NFR of her poetry books: it was teased a bazillion years ago before release. behind the iron gates, on the other hand, could be the COCC of her poetry books (if it comes out in September and if the second book is out in March). Patent Leather is a poem from her second book, Behind the Iron Gates, which will come out in March. We’ll get the infos about Violet tomorrow, which will contain Happy.

Honestly, poetry book both audio and written, COCC, Behind the Iron Gates in March... I mean, we have been served.

Happy, from Violet, sounded excellent (but I must say that I always loved that one, from day one).

We still have to learn the date, but I’m surprised Violet is coming before COCC.

Yesssssss!!! (And finally)

We are now entering the stage of “Lana is a dumb liar, she never does what she says, she hates us, the record is scrapped, she is redoing the whole damn thing with ugly trap beats, etc., etc.” Usually, something happens right after that stage

I just hope this post means something.

In honour of the late composer that inspired the name, we get that leak?!?

It’s true she never said anything about the May 26 date. Plus we don’t know for sure what was the initial plans of LFL’s rollout. She did say that the Love leak forced her to begin the era earlier (she would have liked to put out that song in April if I’m right). But either than that, we don’t know for sure what was her original release date.

Based on the songs we heard so far, when it comes a piano-only ballad, Rick creates richer piano melodies than Jack. Don’t get me wrong: I love Jack’s production, but piano for piano, his songs (Hope, Love Song), are not as rich as Rick’s (Change, White Mustang, Bartender, and LFL and Summer Bummer - I think he got involved with the last two, with the piano).

As you all know, I am a “believer” of the Sept 4-5 release, though it could still be changed for whatever reasons. However, if there is no proof whatsoever before August of its release, I’ll consider the project postponed until further notice (which I’d fucking hate).

Yes, somethings like that. And those six weeks had plenty : new single, new MV, cover art and release date, three promo singles, a trailer. And we were just a year after UV. The HM era is my fave from her because of that. It was all about the music with almost zero interviews.

Well, her stuff is now secured apparently. She teases the snippets, and all the leaks happened, in the NFR era, when the singles were sent to the steaming services. The tracklist was protected until she posted it on Insta. The only indication we got before that of song names was when we Shazamed the snippets a couple of days prior to the the tracklist announcement and it revealed the titles Love Song, California and Cinnamon Girl. There are no snippets to Shazam this time around, so that option is out of the picture. If her website gets under maintenance, this could be our best indicator of the era coming through, near the lead single, I guess?!?

I agree with you. I love NFR, it is in my top albums from her, but the title track is not my fave, probably because there are grander songs on the album, and we got used to grandeur and majesty when it comes to her title tracks. However, the songs snaps in its subtleties: the musical intro, the opening line, the chorus and the high notes at the end are all wow moments. The song hits me when I am with “man-childs” (which happened recently) and her “Goddamn” feels so fucking good to sing out loud. It’s an underrated gem.

She explained in an interview that Religion is, in fact, about her passion for singing, although it is easy to make it about a man. Anyways, I always saw her songs about “a moment in time”: we all moments of dark despair or incredible feeling of love for someone. It doesn’t mean that these feelings will last, but her songs are all about those moments.

She teased the title track late June and it was released on her YouTube channel by mid-July. Knowing that she scrapped the music video, I guess she wanted the title track to be the first single at first with a MV, but since she didn’t like it, HBTB became the first single. The more I think about it, the more I believe COCC will be a very “minimal” era when it comes to promo. One single very close to release (you have to give something to create some buzz around it), cover art and maybe a trailer and that’s it.

It’s true that we have heard nothing yet of it at this point. But there’s the “surprise release” factor - and her definition of it - that could change the rollout and make it different from HM.

If there is a single, it would be still pretty normal if it was released by mid-July for a Sept 4-5 release. But then again, what are the plans? If by surprise release she means no single before the album, the struggle will be real in here.

I don’t follow MGK or even Jesse Rutherford who she also had a collab with, but I wonder what these two are waiting to release those songs. MGK is releasing a new punk rock album this summer, so I doubt that the Lana song will be there. Didn’t I read somewhere that a Hotel Diablo deluxe version is on the way? And what about Jesse’s plans? Anyone has info on that?

He said in a interview last year that he deleted everything but that collab and that he could release it whenever he wanted.
