They probably didn’t listen to her second video, where she announced the title.

True, that date did change... but Interscope probably wasn’t on board until it became a audio album.

It’s true that nothing is ever set in stone. Maybe this is why I can’t wait for some kind of info from her, to make it more official.

It’s true that they were wrong about the March 29 date. Same with Google. To be fair, she never mentioned that date, exactly like the May 26 supposed release date of LFL. All of the sites where they stand by the Sept 4-5 date probably based it on her posts, which is usually a pretty good indicator in the industry, especially if a press release confirms it (aren’t those issueD with a Lead single usually?).

https://www.metacritic.com/browse/albums/release-date/coming-soon/date Metacritic states it’s coming Sept 4. Billboard stands with her Sept 5 date. Conséquence of Sound also. And these are the few I looked up. Of course, this is probably based on her Insta posts (it’s interesting though that some marked the title as TBA). So, it looks good for a Sept 4 or 5 release

Any tracklist with Hollywood in the title has got to be fake. It ain’t 2010 Lana anymore.

These lyrics sound good... but how the fuck did they leak? They’re all in the booklet? When LDR herself said she was too lazy to include all the lyrics to her songs in it?

I take this with a grain of salt. The NFR tracklist with the back cover didn’t leak before she posted it. The only indication of the song titles was Shazam before that. It’s weird we suddenly have the COCC back cover. Genuine question: have any of the Reddit rumours happened to be true, in the past, except for her collabs with other artists?

Some titles make sense, while others are just a big no no (the confessions interlude, winter interlude, Santa Monica sinner, Lady of the Lake).

I can’t wait to hear the lyrics she wrote for this album. NFR had some of the best stories she has ever written, in an already very rich career of strong storytelling (and stop complaining about VB: along with CG and FIILY, it’s a song about being high, where music and sensations are more important than making sense). And the new poem we heard in May was amongst the best pieces she ever wrote down.

I know I posted yesterday something about us reading too much into these things, but the last post looks like a hint to me, since it was already posted one or two years ago. If a lead is planned, maybe somewhere before mid-July. Cover art in August with preorder (maybe a second song). And a trailer, maybe, the week before, with one or two new snippets?

Brace yourself. This is how she uses her socials: lots and lots of content non-related to an album or a project, dead silence, a couple of bombs thrown when you don’t expect them about new project, silence take 2, lots of selfies and weird things we try to read into as if she is Taylor Swift feeding us Easter eggs, longer silence, THEN ONE OF US FINDS A REGISTERED SONG OR SOME SHIT, and then she confirms with a snippet, a picture and such. It’s not good for your nerves, but we’re all masochists here.

I don’t how music execs get their info, but it’s surely not like that, on a white page straight out of Word. And wow, that insider sure is lucky to have access to exec emails (roll eyes).

So according to these « insider posts », we’re getting a single on July 3 and another one on July 10? HAHAHAHAHA!!!! And a song with Doja Cat?!? This is getting out of hand.

I think the September date will pull through. Like I said before, we don’t have a lot to cling to when it comes to her word, but a snippet or a precise date are 90% sure. Another argument for this record to be out as promised : I get strong « end of the world » tones from the title and from the voice memos she recorded (if they become real songs); you kinda want your record to be still « relevant » by not waiting too much for it to be out. She did record during the quarantine. In some of her pictures, she is FaceTiming with Jack. They must have worked separately. Plus her tour got cut short because of the pandemic, which gave her time to record and write. As for the sound of COCC, I expect some songs to sound similar to NFR (probably the first one recorded), but she never put out an album that sounded exactly like the one prior to it.

I think you’re right. I don’t really see interscope be on board with a new album from her without a « lead single » and a good music video released prior to it. Even HM had that. Even though she said she wanted a surprise release.

I’m actually impressed to have a solid date before 3 or 4 singles.

Adele's new album is more urban legend at this point than reality lol. I know we stan a ADHD queen, but to have announced that precise of a date, she has to have consulted Interscope before. And if they want her to do well on the charts. no way they would have put her against Adele.

It honestly sounded too good or be true, the picture of Emile and chemtrails. Plus it’s a Jack project (that we know of). I wonder how her relationship with Emile is, though. Like is there any chance they might work together again? Did they get along? Did she have enough space on the creative process?

I’d love that project but saw it as a « Yeah that would be cool to do some day ». And her many « I’d love to do that » projects rarely see the light of day... So I’m not expecting that one soon.

He did say in an interview they were still friends (maybe he’s still his in his mind but she doesn’t give a sh*t anymore...).

I wouldn’t mind a 10-song album since it’s not been a year since NFR. Robyn got away with 9 songs after what? 7 years between records? If COCC is shorter with excellent, cohesive songs, with maybe a couple of ones a bit longer, I’ll be pleased.

I’m preparing for the worst. I really don’t trust no one 100%. But it would be so her, to put aside a good bop because it didn’t fit the album. I guess we’ll see when the tracklist is out. Probably along the cover art.

The recent events could have drastically changed the vision of the whole record indeed. Maybe this is why we’re most likely to get that album as planed on September: if the whole album is coloured with danger and our need to connect in hard times (I seriously get those vibes from the rumoured If This Is the End... I Want a Boyfriend, and the album’s title) you kinda want to put it out there fast and not wait for another catastrophe to release it. Kinda like Looking for America.

So WHF is out of the picture? Great, another bop we’ll have to wait for the leak to hear
