Can't argue with that. She is uneven from one venue to the other. Sometimes, she's on top and other nights, not so much. I know she considers herself more of an «album singer» rather than a «live singer», but still. To her defense, doing festival tours sure doesn't help have the best volume to her voice, when these things are an orgy of singers or groups going one after the other with little to no time for audio adjustments that weren't predetermined in rehearsals.

I love the demos to most of the songs from LFL, but if the album had sounded like that, nobody except us would have listened to it (and we know that Interscope became very involved with LFL after the poor numbers of HM). It would have been a super airy project, but probably one lacking something.

Don't forget the singles' rating!!! We must have done that ten times each!! Oh and «scraphobia» («I'm sure she scrapped the whole album and is suicidal» «If she scrapped Cinnamon, I will kill the bich!») Awww the good times Amen, preach!!!!! I love LFL. True, it's not her best, but it came out at the right time for me, so of course I 'm fond of it.

The cover is a collage of a couple of songs, I guess: the water-boat theme of Mariners, the green lime of FIILY, LA is burning in The Greatest, the narcissist guy on NFR, the painted sky of NFR as well. The whole album screams «water» to it: emotional, ups and downs like waves, introspective. COCC sure has a «air feeling» to it, although I hope we do get the continuity «water feeling» to some tracks, or even the fire (only a theory of mine, where I can summarize all of her albums with one or two elements)

Kinda. I check the facts when she says something and exact dates and snippets are almost certain indicators of that thing happening when it’s supposed to. But other than those, I don’t get my hopes too high.

She truly is ADHD and when she talks about what the record sounds like, it's the songs she is working at the moment. It's never totally false, but clearly not that precise either lol.

I’m torn when I see that tracklist: “Yes! Want all of that! But I hope we didn’t already guess like 9 songs out of ??? already...”

Who knows? Not sure there’ll be a single but if so, maybe end of June or July? I wonder if there’ll be any videos for this era.

True. Her Jesse R collab (“I want you to play with me”) could be the sexy / slutty anthem we’ve been waiting for. I don’t expect it on her album though. But there’ll probably be a “sexy song” on COCC.

I kinda hope Jack and Lana «continue» the soar they were on when finishing NFR (FIILY being the last song and one that is «heavier» in production) and keep it going... I love NFR, but its «second half» or «sister record» could be a little crazier production-wise.

I do. HM is in my top 3 and I am one of the few that really like LFL (probably because I connected to it when it came out). LFL really is a summer pop-ish record, super diverse. It's perfect when my expectations of having the «summer of my life» have come and gone, and when I realize my life in July or August is pretty much the same as in the other seasons.

Well nothing confirmed but strong possibility, with a 5 min+ voice memo. But it could turn into nothing, not all of her notes or voice memos turn into songs or poems.

If there is one, end of June or early July? But who knows with her.

A couple of us, on the other thread, think that maybe the audio book will contain the “best of” both written books. And maybe it will be out after COCC? Is she done with her second book? So many questions...

Or a spoken album made of the best poems from the two other books?!?

HahaUsually, the Grammy end their submission process on Sept 1. I don’t know if she could even submit COCC this year or if they will postpone the date because of the COVID situation. Either way, she probably won’t win. Maybe for spoken word though.

I’ll take that strange intro to NFR’s.Still not over that roll out of a pseudo pre-era

Not very long. Pretty much the same day or the day before a single.When she announces the tracklist the other songs get registered or recognized by Shazam.

I see it differently : BTD through LFL is the first cycle, with the last song wanting to cross the threshold ... NFR begins the new cycle. Plus there are no cars on that cover, compared to the other four. So, COCC (lollll) should be the «UV» of this cycle, though we have a short period between NFR and COCC like UV and HM had.

Red-orange poppies were the flower for NFR based on the merchandizing. But it's nowhere referenced on the album.

She probably isn't. It will probably be released on the 4th. She did the same thing with Hope (it changed a day from the original date she mentioned on IG)

To call her a whore is down right stupid and sexist. She is always more on the «sensuous»/ sexy side rather than the plain explicit.

saw the rumor on Twitter this weekend. And, well, we know how reliable Twitter rumors tend to be when it comes to her...

I agree. It could easily be reworked to have an outro à la Venice Bitch. But since she is going through a heartbreak and it’s supposed to be a happy song, maybe not on this record? But With her, who knows? TNBAR was dead and buried in my mind but it made the cut to NFR, so maybe... if she doesn’t release it on this record, she really should just release it as a stand-alone single, maybe with RBFY as an intro, between two eras. Gaga did that with The Cure, and Lana could do the same with Yosemite.

I liked the NFR cover, even if I was afraid of a very basic one like the UO one.
