UV's video works for me... It's super vintage/homemade and intimate, as if you had found a forgotten 8mm film from a doomed mariage. VB's video ain't the best either, not much going on, but it works better than MAC's, I think...

Saw on a FB Lana group that the triple video was scrapped (with the info that WHF was not the title of the next album). Don't know if it's true, but either way, if she decides it's too bad to show, I'm gonna believe her lol. Her HM video was really dull, the MAC video is really a stain on her videography....

Loved the two duets!!

I hope we get an official recording of it, and not an Amazon exclusive

Happy and surprised to see that UV, with its brutal rawness and honesty, made it to the top 100. Congrats, baby girl!

Venice Bitch is one of the three songs from NFR where the lyrics create a mood rather than tell a story (the other 2 being Fuck It I Love You and Cinnamon Girl). That song is genius and innovative for her for the musical take-off. I just get totally lost in the musical part when I drive. Plus the trippy California vibes are just quintessential Lana. To me, it’s one for the best songs on NFR and one of the best arguments for AOTY Grammy nom. This is also where she earns her alternative title when categorizing her music.

Anything is possible at this point, because she didn't say much about what it would sound like (I know, it's always changing and it's always to be taken with a grain of salt, even if she said it would be in the vein of NFR). If the record is guitar-based (or at least a portion of it): Yosemite, I Might Be Stupid for Being so Happy, maybe Hey Blue Baby. Roses Bloom For You... it sounded beautiful, but I'm having a hard time seeing it on an actual original album. Maybe on a collection of unreleased songs, but on LDR7? Not so sure. But hey, I never thought Doin' Time and TNBAR would end up on NFR, so... I wonder what the Shangri-la-esque songs left out of NFR sound like...

I'm not sure she could «top» NFR with WHF. It's going to be tough, with the critical acclaim of this record. But it's Lana we're talking here and who knows? However, she never released a single album that disappointed or that wasn't consistent (yes, even LFL). Some records were better than others, it's true, but none was bad. She is hardworking and she won't put out a half-finished project.

She looks just like me when I don't give a fuck about Halloween but have to be dressed to go to a party. Don't know of I should applaud her 'cause we're similar or find her lazy (with her amount of cash, I'd pay someone to get me the best mothefucking costume ever)

I'm curious to see how her relationship with Sean-the-cop and its future will influence her writing for WHF. If they are still together when it's released, maybe we'll finally have a bunch of tracks on the record that will be about falling in love (and she might finally be happy enough to include fucking Yosemite)

Woah, some of you really have a very fine ear to have heard all of that! Is it the same on all of her albums or just this one? To me, NFR! is what she wanted LFL to be in the first place. I really love LFL, love how «messy» it is (I hear diverse, to be quite frank), because it was a messy era of her life, but NFR feels like this is what she first intended for LFL: a singer-songwriter / acoustic-ish sound.

BTD and Paradise had a wide array of producers for sure. Wasn’t it Interscope decision though? She did say she was going everywhere, from NY to London and all over the UK, to record BTD and she was happy now to be able to record in LA, close to home. Love Ride, I wonder how her relationship was with Rick Rubin. We all know she is stubborn AF and nobody tells her what to do anymore and it could lead to tensions with producers before (Dan Auerbach mentioned it). I think it’s our best indicator for future producers: Could she still lead the project with him? If so, there’s a good chance they could work again. If not, better kiss it goodbye.

Totally agree with you. Other question I can't take anymore: How did you come up with the title? (at least, she's consistent on her answer for that one)

Yeah, I found that part weird too. The only way for this to be true is if a tour had been announced right after the BTD release and it was selling super well, and then SNL happened (as in: I was feeling out arenas for UPCOMING shows). For the record: I wasn't a stan back then, so I don't remember perfectly all the chronology of those days.

Geez, the turn this thread took in a month :/ I guess I don’t have your ear, but I don’t hear how « poor » the production is. I mean, the emotions of the songs are just so spectacular to me that I don’t even hear all the flaws you’ve noticed. NFR has all the best elements from all her previous records while still being it’s own thing. It also has some of the best lyrics and storytelling she has ever done. I might be the minority here, but it’s almost a perfect 10 to me.

I get a vibe of «passive agressive» situation in her family, don't know why though. 2019 is her year. The acclaim for the album, the recognition by her peers, the collabs with major artists in the industry and now the praise by Elton John?!?! Grammy noms are a safe bet at this point.

I liked that it's a different kind of interview, though she gets her facts wrong sometimes... I loved the energy between the two.

You’re right. And to be fair, she can take as long as she needs to: I loved all of her albums so far (some more than others of course) and all I wish for WHF is to be as good as it can be. And anyways, she will surely release it in the summer, so maybe next summer or more probably the one after (and doesn’t she have a couple of other projects to attend to, in the meantime?)

My hopes are that this is the new Bartender or Music to Watch Boys To, rather than the new Yosemite

We know she is shit at giving us a timeframe for anything when she is doing the damn thing, but to be fair, she never said, in that interview' the part about 2020 or 2021 and that the title might change: it was Q mag that put a grain of salt on all this ( though I honestly never expected WHF anytime before 2021 when she first announced it).

So, from what we learned, she has recorded 3 songs and is hinting at the zodiac signs... Would that be a 12-track record if she sticks to it? And for all of you who were worried about getting a NFR 2.0, it's safe to say that with only 3 songs in the bank, it could shift real fast into something else.

I didn't mind the snippets with LFL. I thought there were many during NFR, in a time when there were no official news. However, I hate when she teases a song that is still unfinished, like How to Disappear. I do love the album version, but it took a lot of time for this song to grow on me because of the damn snippet that was just the demo and that I thought the final version would sound like. Hell, at least it's just a song title we have this time around and we know nothing else about it (a bit like Bartender, which intrigued me since day 1 and that is still one of my faves from NFR).

Well, classic Lana there: even for a «surprise release», she can't help but mention a song title for the coming record a year in advance

I don't know how the bich does it... but once again, her latest album resonates so fucking much with what I'm living and been through the last year. Cinnamon Girl was how I was feeling last year, with my BF: I love you but be careful with me, I've been hurt. How to Disappear is the perfect «Sunday blues» song. I'm not super into my work since September and when The Greatest come on, I when she sings «I miss dancing with you the most of all... Guess that I'm burned out after all»: And Fuck It, I love You summarizes how I would like my life to be, to see everything very brightly but it's not possible. And Bartender, a «Swan Song 2.0» with the piano like a fall rain I fucking luv ha

Yosemite and The Good Lifeeeeee!!!!!!!!
