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!!!!!!!!

It's what she deserves!

So when is this coming out? Saw a couple of people saying «soon» (they got their source from Reddit lol)... It sounds like a bop. I love the introspective side of NFR, but something lighter in tone like this would be so welcome.

Agree! Hell, it was a small venue: she can wear whatever she wants. https://www.instagram.com/weadorelana/ Snippets form yesterday's show. There's also a part of the interview with Jack. It gives a little idea of how she can be in the studio...

I just love to imagine that she could be recording songs for WHF right now: the first leg of the tour is done, Jack was in town yesterday...

he's a lucky bastard then.

yeah, I'd love Yosemite as well. But hey, who knows? I was dead sure TNBAR would never make it to NFR, so... NFR taught me that no matter how much we think we have the damn thing figured out, she will always surprise us and those surprises are more magical than what we thought we wanted in the first place. Yes, I wanted more psychedelic guitars like VB and yet, the songs are just so amazing without them.

How much cash / time does he have to be present at all of her shows?!?!

Amen!!! That was what I wanted to write: more guitar-based songs. I'm listening a lot to Wild On You / Color Blue lately and it is just so simple and beautiful. NFR would be mostly piano and WHF could be guitar.

That! Plus she must have recorded Chelsea Hotel with Adam Cohen as well. Maybe it'll be a cute acoustic / low-key EP.

Woah, from the little parts of it I saw, it was an amazing show!!! She sang Hope?!? Never thought she'd risk doing it live (I think she only did a small portion of it, but still). There were many guests, but it sounded amazing...

What?!?? I so wanna hear that now!!!
