I don’t know why, might be because of my Blue Skies high, but I hope Lasso will be bold and I can see a rap collab on it (strangely enough).

Intro and outro sound spacey, like you’re in orbit and then the jazzy Lana track « begins ». Clear vocals, faster than most songs she does, she makes the lyrics her own and it outros with the jazzy sounds again with her « mumbling » in echo. It’s a serve!

I didn’t think I’d get spacey trippy AND jazzy Lana at the same time

Jazzy Lana blue skies!!! Nothing but blue birds

Ok that’s a serve. Her vocals are amazing And love how the outro brings a weird and « modern » touch to that song

I hope that for this album, we get some insider info as to when things are about to drop /begin, but maybe not song titles and no snippets if not coming from her. although OB was circulating amongst small groups, it’s a miracle the album didn’t leak in full HQ weeks before release. Also: got to thank insiders for not spoiling the whole track list before she did post it.

I hate living in NY timezone

So I guess it will be out tomorrow morning in NZ if it’s indeed a midnight release?

Loved You Then and Now apparently is similar to TJF and If You Lie Down With Me…

They’re very different. Lana’s song feels more « personal » although it’s a cover and Beyoncé’s are really glam chic country. I too prefer Lana’s so far.

With Beyoncé releasing a country LP, enough time has passed for me to have made up my mind about Lana going country also. I know we heard nothing of the album, but still, we do have some indications, plus I revisited some country songs she did live. first of all, having heard the two new Beyoncé tracks, I really hope it’s not the direction Lana is going The glam cowgirl style can be pulled off from Beyoncé but I can’t see Lana going at it. i already know Lasso won’t be my favourite album out of her discography. There’ll be some great / excellent tracks for sure (the tracks close to Henry, Come On - closer to folk than country per se, with lots of acoustic guitars - will be incredible for sure, very heartbreak heavy, which is the heart of the traditional country) but Nikki collabs are inévitable, and I’m pretty sure she’ll get closer to country on those than folk. And I’d be surprised and delighted if she did some innovative country- inspired tracks, with electronica or ambiant sounds, like Madonna did with Music, but I think she’ll stick to being « traditional country ». Jack on board could bring interesting twists to some songs (transitions à la TT / VB or A&W), but it could also be a very generic country-pop album like he did with the Chicks’s Gaslighter (very much Taylor in terms of production). We could also have studio versions of Hey Blue Baby and Stupid for Feeling so Happy, which could be very nice if they reworked some of the verses of Hey Blue Baby (love the chorus and the opening line of the verses, I love that it’s a faster track for Lana, but the verses are bit mid when it comes to lyrics). The possible Dolly Parton collab could be highlight… but isn’t Nikki also on that picture? of course I know I could be very wrong about all this. The first single will give us more clues, but these are my impressions so far

The two new songs aren’t bad, but they’re not « Renaissance » level to me.

And isn’t this a photoshopped picture of her Variety photoshoot?

This is another level of bad. Reminds me of the parody of the Simpsons, when Barney leaves his band for his new girlfriend and they record experimental shit (him belching and her saying « Number 8 » over and over). Do we think Jack was involved on that track?

A couple of insiders accounts on X mentioned a new Lana song soon. We don’t know yet if it’s Blue Skies for the New Look soundtrack coming next week (I prefer thinking it’s « just that » not to be disappointed), or if it’s something else (one insider liked a comment about a single from Lasso…) one credible insider did say that the Lasso release date is Sept 20 as of now but they do expect some delay because the album is not finished. I just hope though it’s not the remix to Lost at Sea Rob is releasing this week… It does feature Lana…

Yeah it’s already incredible. I think I’m only somewhat patient because Blue Skies is coming next week and I love jazzy Lana

Can’t wait to hear Henry, Come On, but I hope it’s not that one yet. With more than six months to go before the alleged release date, it there’s no preorder attached to this single, I don’t want any song from Lasso yet. I really don’t want another NFR shitshow of a pre-release.

The cover she will be releasing part of the soundtrack Jack is making for The New Look (new Apple + series)

Yeah then what ?

Not that I have hope it’s happening, but anything like this would be a dream

Hope it’s any good

That selfie

As I said before, she still has a month and a half before the « six-month deadline » for vinyls if the Sept 20 is legit. Not impossible, but it’s Lana also

Is the snippet of her cover of Lonesome Town real? If so, I wish it’s on Lasso: it would be perfect (if it’s even real haha)
