Source? Receipts?

For the newbies here, here's what we know of Life Is Beautiful. it was recorded in 2012, but she felt the song to be «too specific» for a record . She was asked to submit a song for the movie (or was it for another one that didn't see the light of day and they reused it for Age of Adaline? I don'T remember that part). she submitted a snippet from the whole song that was used for the promo. So, both her and Liongate have rights on the song, but we don't know if she could use it again for another project or if she would have to buy back the rights. I really think she doesn't give a fuck about it anymore. Even on a «unreleased collection», I'm not even sure it would make the cut.

I don’t get why you’re all acting as if everything is scrapped: She did say it would be out in February (« about a month »), plus she posted a now-deleted picture of a microphone (I assumed it was for this project). Plus: it’s her we’re talking about: everything takes longer than she says it would. Somewhere in February could mean in Spring, I Guess.

The « holy trinity » of NFR (for cohesiveness and storytelling) is Love song, Cinnamon Girl and How to Disappear. The story of someone falling in love, hoping to not be hurt again but finding out the guy disappeared is just so good. The string arrangement on the three songs (is it the Melotron?!?) is just so perfect. Also love the « bookend » duo that is Fuck It I Love You and the Greatest : the rush and the descent, with the two love stories in between (California and TNBAR really are about Barrie). It’s just a near-perfect album.

It doesn’t even sound like her. Plus WHF is produced by Jack and with NFR, nothing leaked months in advance.

Same! Same! Where is The Good Life?!? It really sounds UV

February + « Lana’s fashionably late factor » = spring. That what I tell myself.

With the whole Bond song saga, I kinda made my peace with it when I realized that I'd want her to do a Bond theme, but both the song and the movie would need to be good, like Skyfall was. Other than that, if she sang it one day, it would be a good song for a mediocre movie and we'd forget all about it. And hell, 24 was much more interesting and more a Bond song than the Sam Smith one ever was.

I don't have the exact source (I read it on a Lana fan page on FB), but on next page, there's a picture of her signing.

According to TMZ, she was the only one there that signed autographs for her fans, even bringing pens with her to do so. She really is a sweetheart to her fans <3

Giving such prestigious awards to Billie and her brother sounds very much to me: «We're still a fresh and cool academy that recognizes young talents»

Maybe Lana's loss has something to do with the Academy wanting to change a bit by not giving another award to Jack Antonoff? I don't know his exact track record, but hasn't Jack won like many AOTY Grammy's over the last years?

Billie might have a bit of anxiety to live up to her Grammy's for the next album. Our girl still remains an underdog. At least we can all say we stan and underrated queen. Another silver lining: I was afraid she would doubt a lot of WHF if she had won AOTY. And everyone in his right mind would: «sequel project» with the same producer... At least she doesn't have the pressure to live up to the hype. Sure, AOTY would have given NFR even more exposure, but imagine the delay for WHF... And Lana can now compare herself to Queen Bey when it comes to being rubbed by the Grammy's

This is b*llsh*t.

This Lemonade all over again. Both NFR and Lemonade were the most acclaimed records of their year but didn’t win the Grammy. I hate award shows. I was a bit concerned for WHF if NFR won AOTY, that she might rethink it all over so WHF would be « as good as ». At least, this is out of the picture :/

It’s cute. But I prefer last night’s look. Or the one two years ago. But it’s not ugly (looking at you, Billie)

I honestly applaud all of you for being able to rank the songs from NFR. I truly can't. Each day / week brings a new favorite. Venice Bitch might still be my all-time fave, but other than that, I can't rank the songs in order; that order would change every week I guess.

Although NFR is a very cohesive album, with winter now here, there are some songs that are better this time of year then end-of-summer when it came out: Hope, Love Song, How to Disappear (the narrative on that one is superb and the production grew on me), TNBAR... They're all stellar tracks that I appreciate more this time of year. Hope it wins tonight album of the year (song of the year would be a bot weird to me: NFR really is an «ensemble cast»).

She looks regal in those!

Billie will surely win one this Sunday. If the Grammy’s aren’t giving any to Lana, who is the « original » singer, the influence to Billie and so many others, it’s definitely going to be a crime.

It's bubblegum. Not bad, but I don't know. I'll let it sink in I guess.

I really love NFR, I love how her vocals are clearer on that album... However, I wouldn't mind if they went a little more crazy production-wise, for the next one. It would bring a little extra to the sister-record to NFR...

lol I really wish she is happy, honestly. I don't want her to be depressed for the sake of music and if she finds happiness, good for her! Whatever mood she's in while recording, I'm here for it. I thought at first Sean wasn't as toxic as her previous BF (he seems really present and there for her), but some of us here pointed out some flaws he has apparently and ouf! We'll see how this turns out.

I have two wishes right now, with the whole cop-guy situation who is bad news for her and bla bla bla... 1- Stay with him long enough to write LDR7 as a «falling in love» type of album; 2- Imagine the break-up album following that one if he's as bad as everyone seems to think.

I think many fans don't give a shit about the poetry book lol. Maybe this is why nobody asked about it. I'm looking forward to it (I like her poetry, though not the best), especially the «rough, unpolished» aspect of it (how much gritty will it feel?)
