Until NFR, i’d Say you were right. But after LFL, she said herself she had a bit of writer’s block. And from the info’s we got so far, she started working with Jack and after a couple of months, the songs they made came to take shape into a whole record. We know she told her story through her music. With LFL, I sense we caught up to her present timeline. So I don’t know if she has already the next album in mind. I also wonder where she is with that musical she is working with Rick and if it will be LDR7...

I get that. It seems to me that she keeps everything under wrap « just in case » she wants to include some « leftovers » to the new album (early rumours of LDR6 had it that she would include new songs + unleaked and unreleased ones from other eras), like she did with BPBP. Or in case she finally decides to release her collection of 25 songs. If she doesn’t release a sorta collection after NFR, she really should release singles or EPs in the future.

Whether it’s a new song or part of HIaB, it’s gonna be a good song. If only she could release the damn thing.

The new snippet could tie up HIaB together, if it is indeed the same song. The song would be about her singing to a bad-boy lover the she loves him, he rejects her, but she keeps coming back to him and sings to him that happiness is a butterfly (the chorus would then be a sort of lullaby). I'm going with it's the song from Chuck's story for sure. It could be HIaB: she was listening to it before shooting the video for it. Anyways, many said that HiaB references In Your Car, with the backseat part. I just don't see the new snippet being part of IYC. Plus if it's another part of HiAB, my delusional ass has me believing it could mean we are getting the lead soon.

O_oWoW! Ok! So the snippet might be the verse to HIaB?!? Or maybe its sister song?!??

Lanadelreyinfo on Twitter said the 3 NFR singles got a total of 68M streams on Spotify alone. Not bad for an album without a single lead, a release date and promotion.

She has a great deal of liberty but not 100% control over everything. Very few artists have in fact, unless you’re Beyoncé or Madonna or something.

It’s true Cinnamon is catchy. I love how we all have our personal reason for the NFR delay. The poetry book makes sense also. We just need fucking news!!!

I was thinking the same, about the strategic date. It could be one of the reasons why NFR is delayed, though it could be resolved very quickly (Jesus, a look at a calender with releases takes 5 minutes). I think too there is something they don't «like» about NFR, and it very possible that it is because it has no real hit on it.

It only matters if Interscope is « greedy » and absolutely wants a number 1 album with NFR. I’m pretty sure they want it to be successful. It’s also beneficial for her: every time she scored a number 1, she got a great deal of freedom for the next record (HM and NFR). But to us fans, it doesn’t matter at all: we’ll buy or steam the damn thing whenever it comes out.

Yeah, it's a big year for female singers. Rihanna is also rumored to surprise drop her next album. Taylor and Beyonce are preparing something. Lana is «big», but to have a number 1 again, she must release NFR when the coast is cleared. I wonder how much in advance music companies know about coming releases. And are surprise drops known by the big shots of the other companies as well?

Honeymoon truly was the best era. 15 months after UV (nobody was over it even a year after it), we had had 3 singles in the meantime (Big Eyes soundtrack and Wait for Life), the project pretty much stayed the same, tease of title track in June, track released in July, lead in August, 3 fan singles and the album in September. And what an album. Smart, minimal and cohesive release. None of this dragging on NFR shit.

Totally with you on this. If we don’t have the single in April, it’s gonna be sayonara to NFR in June, and hello to end of summer release :/It would be totally stupid and too long to have it release in August. She needs to come through.

There were a couple of complaints. Many said she was teasing too much, especially with White Mustang and Change (which had 2-3 snippets each). However, the snippets weren't released before God-knows-how-long before the album release.

You’re right though. It’s not that her promo is bad for this era, it’s just that it would be perfect for a 3-month pre-release, not 9 months +.

I get your point. I always saw snippets as the same as the album preview we got with pretty much each era, when a site leaked 30 seconds of every song. It’s also a common practice, to have almost half an album out before its release, these days. Don’t know if she’ll go with that with NFR.

She said the album was made of songs described as « a day in the life ». It surely wasn’t thought that way, but what if she is going for an intentional super long pre-release, where we get a new single every season? MAC and VB are end of summer / fall ; the live performance of HTD is fall ; Hope was winter. So a single in Spring? And the album in the summer? It’s really a stretch, I know. Consolation : There are still 5 songs we haven’t heard

Love the story, but I haven’t listened to it in weeks. I’m waiting for the official audio too.

I get that. I was honestly surprised when she released the 2 singles in September. I was expecting the era to start later.Instead, she decided to drag it on so fucking long.

It’s a very good album for sure. But girl, all we want is a date!!!!! Ok, The struggle is real in her Insta comments.

Ish... if the Fader and Billboard now make an headline of her snippets, it means that everyone wants the damn thing to be released. They sometimes write about her snippets, mostly the ones before a real single. I guess the last months have been too dry even for them.

I live in Canada and spring is always super long to get here, so LFL made perfect sense for my weather haha! But I admit that the first songs on it are really Spring rather than summer. June for NFR wouldn't be a bad choice either. Although there are rumors that she told someone's friend that it would be an end of summer release :/

Plus someone who breaks the rulse and starts a new trend like Lana did is usually seen as a UFO in the musical landscape. Billie was largely acclaimed last week. She does have a solid debut, but it ain't trendsetting.

Soon is a word she should scrap from her vocabulary. hahahha! True!!! The title of the song would have been great to know, indeed. As for the cover, we all know she will do it at some point, in a post that she didn't tease before, I guess?!?

What could she honestly say?
