Maybe not? After all, one of them posted backstage of Lana at BUKU performing Video Games. Maybe they don’t care at all about her new stuff.

Is it possible this is a situation where no one wants to budge or compromise? Lien they want somethinng to be changed and she won’t have it?

I just hope, at this point, that somewhere along the road, we will understand why it was so messy (because of a controversial song on it, or because the poetry book was absolutely necessary to be out before NFR, or something like that). I doubt it, but I hope there is an explanation.

Honestly, the meltdowns everywhere are cheering me up.

One of us here asked a psychic. I think it’s Honeymoondaddy.

I’ve been very « yin and yang » about her for the passed couple of weeks: one day, i’m hyped and hopeful and the next one, I’m disappointed at the era. To see fan pages repost the first HIaB today because it was first teased a fucking year ago got me down. Even her last poem didn’t hype me (hell, her promo is like throwing a rock into a lake every 2 hours: you won’t see waves moving, girl), unlike the other ones. Personally, I am glad to not have NFR today: i’m so bummed by the whole situation that I’m not sure i would enjoy it that much. So, June 14, said the psychic? That’s our most reliable source now.

I’m thinking more and more that she missed the mark with that one. There is a lot of new music by big female names coming this Summer until the end of year. The top of 2019 would have been her best strategy and would have been the logical choice, with her September release.

She did take « releasing music just for herself » to a whole new level with that one lol.

This hurts to read

True, but in the interest of staying in « control » or to gain power?!But a fan twitter account? Power? Anyways...

What I do find wonderful is how now, all of a sudden, all these people who secretly knew about NFR’s release on Friday are magically coming out of the shadow all at the same time. This is perfect timing. Seriously, why would someone fake news this?!??

Well, the outrage will not be coming from us this time, but from a larger crowd. It might force her to do something.

And that’s where it « doesn’t compute » in my head if she doesn’t address anything because she doesn’t know: how long does it take to decide for a release date with your record company? I might be naive but in my mind the date could be settled in a one-hour FaceTime with the big bosses. Then you announce it on social media. There. Case closed. And we finally rest.

I’m sure they are! I am on another Lana fan page on FB, and no one seems to know that March 29 is false. I am so making popcorn tomorrow to watch the shit show.

This is a channel that specializes in streaming parties the day the record drops. I hope they have a plan B for tomorrow lol...

Honestly, at this point, is she surprise-released it, the only one she could be "hurting", in terms of sale, is her: Billie's album, apparently, already has 800k+ pre-release sales. Interscope would dominate the charts if they released the same day.

I’m an optimistic regarding Lana and even I don’t expect a surprise release. What I want is an official release date. She has to do it. March 29 snowballed everywhere.

I truly hope she does. If she doesn't do anything, now I call it being unprofessional: she had to tweet on May 20-something and yet, no magazines had published that date, correct? And now, with NFR, a shit ton of publications wrote March 29 down. She has to rectify.

At this point, a decision needs to be made. Periodt. I don’t care who takes it, just do it.

No: she posted the cover of the single, single name and a snippet on the Friday prior to its release. She also announced that day that it would be song number 1 of 2.

The only thing keeping me sane right now is that I took a break from her, musically speaking. I listen to her influences: Amy, Nina and all. Or when I do listen to her music, I don't put on NFR singles and pretend I don't know she is releasing an album in the couple of next months. And no snippets.

So... will we get a tweet finally confirming the release date in the coming days? How long does it take to decide for a date with Interscope? The poetry book is taking shape and that project must also be on the verge of having a release date... Fingers crossed... I, for once, wish it ends up on NFR, to have it in context. It's a beautiful ballad, but on its own, it doesn't have, to me, the same replay value as MAC and VB. A bit like Change and Heroin: they're both stunning, but out of context, they are a bit odd.

So another month of nothing? This thread will be 4000 pages long by the time she releases something.

MGK did an interview for Galore and confirmed the song was intended for his record. But he then decided to scrap the whole record and begin again from scratch. So we don’t know what will happen of the song, if that one was scrapped as well. It’s true that the lyrics to that one aren’t as strong as some of her other songs. But I always thought she was writing from the perspective of a younger self, making the simpler lyrics work.
