Doubt it really. The LFL rewriting happened for 3 reasons: the leaks, the change in the political landscape and her messy relationship with G-Eazy. I don’t see any of that happening. Plus she has Jack as a producer and his time is precious: she can’t go back to rewriting everything. But remember the direction change in production also happened with Uv and we know how well that turned out.

I feel the same as you. And yet so many here complained that she was teasing too many songs... it really is impossible to have consensus when it comes to Lana, isn’t it?

Unfortunately, no. Except that she first mentioned the song on her San Diego concert. I was skeptical because no one had Lana recorded to prove it, but since she posted the snippet and confirmed that it exists, I am much more inclined to believe that she really did say it was the saddest shit she ever written.

Lana said to fans, when she first mentioned Sylvia, that it was the saddest shit she ever written

Come on! That’s just unfair to her. True, she changed her mind, but come on!

Lyrically, many songs from NFR seem to combine "old Lana storyline" and "present tense Lana storyline". On MAC: old Lana: the depressed guy thinking she is sad all the time / new Lana: I'm a big time believer that people can change (pretty much the message from Change). on VB: old Lana: the writer-type mentioned on Is This Happiness, I like diamonds / new Lana: we're getting high now cause we're older. on HTD: old Lana: John and Jim seem to be old lovers or friends, of her NY era / new Lana: it's been years since i left NY, I now live in California and all. on Cinnamon: old Lana: the guy takes pills, and violet pills were mentioned on Is This Happiness / new Lana: her plea to hold her without hurting her is really coming from the heart, and seems very "this is what I am feeling at the moment". There are fires in Cali every year, but there was a huge one this summer. Not sure it would be tasteful, to write about that when she lives herself in Cali. But hey, maybe she could find an intelligent and thoughtfull way of putting it into a song.

I see MAC as track 1 or 2. VB as the second to last track. HIaB as the closer.

I think HIaB will be the closer of NFR.

It’s certainly a reference to the song of the same name. Crimson and clovers are believed to be red wine and pot, actually, in that song.

Lana, news please!!! I hate when she sets things in motion for a record and pauses indefinitely at some point!!

We crave what we don’t have. And I am not in love with most of the unreleased stuff, to be honest. I get why some of those songs didn't get released.

Lana calling a track weird makes me curious. It was the first song mentioned for NFR (at least, we assume it will be on NFR). Plus it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to assume that jack produced it since it fits the timeline of their work together.

I really hope the next snippet we hear is Bartender. I have been waiting since January to have a glimpse of the song Lana calls herself « weird ». And since she said she began working with Jack in January, it could be the first track they did together.

I haven’t checked the calendar, but these dates are plausible if they are on a Friday. Music albums are released in a Friday (except for a few exceptions, like Radiohead or Beyoncé who don’t need any kind of publicity to have bestsellers). I relistened the Zane Lowe interview and she said herself that she considered releasing the poetry book as a serious project only 3 weeks prior to the interview. So it was all very new to her and she said herself that she is bad with the marketing of stuff. She also wanted to self publish it. Don’t know if it’s realistic since she is fucking Lana Del Rey. Maybe she is negotiating a contract with a major book publisher.

With the American Thanksgiving coming next Thursday, I don’t expect much to be honest. Maybe around the Dec 5 performance she’ll do for the homeless LGBT kids (the event Jack organized)? But since she is one of a couple performers, I don’t expect something new played there.

I didn’t know there were! Thanks! I get my music from iTunes and I never came across a clean version...

I doubt we’ll get a clean version of NFR. I don’t believe that any of her albums have a clean version in fact. Maybe for the CD printing, some words will have ***

We might get a bit of NY on NFR, but she also stated that the album had a Laurel Canyon vibe. Which is super California. And both MAC and VB are very California to me. Don’t know if Yosemite will make it on NFR (to me, it’s 50-50 at this point), but it has a chance. RBFY and BaR, on the other hand, not so much (even if they are both beautiful).

I think he meant an excellent album like the Grimes one. it is truly outstanding, though the cover art wants to make me puke. Dido just released a new single for an album coming out on March 9. We already know that there are 12 tracks. Take note, Lana baby! Give us some juice!!! I really hope Lana releases a single soon (though the chances for a single release before the end of 2018 are almost limited up until the next week, with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming) and reveals the release date. January or at the beginning of February tops, I hope.

I doubt we'll get more than 11 or 12 tracks this time around. She recorded a shit ton of songs for LFL, but working with Jack, who could only be there for 9 days a month, makes me think that the songs were slowly created.

We’ll survive. But I doubt it will.

Honestly, I am not convinced at all that Yosemite will be on NFR and if it isn’t, i won’t care that much. I’m sure we will hear it at some point in our lives. Just a thought that ran through my mind and I was tired of the LFL trashing. Honestly, I am not craving for that much for Yosemite at this point. We’ll hear at some point in our lives. There’s a pretty good chance it doesn’t belong on NFR. Just wanted to change the subject of the LFL trashing.

Alright, enough with the LFL negativity and let’s get back to NFR: what if VB is the at the end of NFR and the last track is... a reworked Yosemite? Beginning with acoustic guitar and morphing into a bit of psychedelic guitars like VB?

Headphones for me. Since HM, I listen to her albums in headphones the first times and it is magical. Each one of her songs is always layered with so many musical subtleties and I can only pick them out after a few listens with headphones. VB is perfect that way. Sure, I listen to it in the car, but the first few minutes sound so much more intimate directly in my ears.

Come to LanaBoards and expect the followings : “I wished she tried (insert impossible genre to insert in her discography) or went back to (insert glorified and personal favorite era or some unreleased song done a thousand years ago)”, trash about Rick Nowels but also slanders about the new collaborator she just took a picture of and we have yet to hear something out of this, trash about Coachella and most of LFL, fear she isn’t okay if she doesn’t put something out on social media every week, “I wish she did something with (insert second favorite artist after Lana”, trash that collab months after because it was not what you had in mind.
