She is now in a dark paradise... And she talks to Jesus (unreleased song of the same name), begging him to enter in heaven (Say yes to heaven, say yes to me...)... But although she is born to die, she will wait for her beau, in that dark paradise, because when she gets to heaven, please let her bring her man....

I love how Lana changes her sound from era to era, and i loved them all. I am curious about the sound of LDR6 and i trust that if she goes in a different direction, it will be good. However, I have been listening to a lot of Cigarettes After Sex lately... And man that sound is not too far-fetched from Lana and would be perfect for her ! A cool California-vibed, dream-pop album would be the quintessence of cool. But I have little hope that this will be the sound of LDR6...

"Just for the movie" could mean a lot of things. Mostly it means that she sold the rights to Lionsgate for the soundtrack. BUT if she wants to have it released on an album or as a single, she could buy the rights back... But does she want it? Is Interscope interested in that "investment"? What mostly scares me is that that song is a bit old (early 2010-ish when she wrote it, and we know how she "treats" her old stuff most of the time)... Plus she said that that song was a bit too personal, too much directed towards a friend of her. And she recycled the theme on Black Beauty. She reused LIB because she got asked for a song for the Adaline soundtrack, that then got cut from the tracklisting... So... it all comes down to if Lana and her team still believes in that song... We speculated a lot about the sound of LDR6, and it would not be too far fetched for LIB to be included on it, if the record is still about happiness and such. But the more time passes, the more I expect LIB to be on a super collection of her songs that would be released in many years from now :/

Though I am super bored Lana-wise these days, I prefer silence prior to a hopefully quick releas to a never ending game of teasing (snippet, silence, single, video, two-month silence, album title, triple silence, album cover, false single that becomes real, leak, silence due to rework, second official single, I celebrate my 109th birthday, leak, official release)

I honestly don't care about her looks. I mean, she always has the potential to look good in a music video, which are never as important to me as new music from her.

And hints were there that her relationship was violent: he hit me and it felt like a kiss / I know very well you're bringing me down (Backfire).

yeah it sounds like a bunch of many things put together. Hard to make something out of this mess.

Who knows at this point? A wild rumor on Lana Addiction (Spanish FB group where pretty much all rumors turned out to be false lol) said recently that she would drop the Cherry video on her birthday - «quoting» VH1, though nothing on their website says so. I don't buy it (she seems much more concentrated on finishing songs for the next era). Plus this is the second rumor concerning something new on her birthday (LDR6 was rumored to be released there, but it seems very unlikely, since new albums get released on Fridays and her birthday is on a Wednesday I think) Somewhere in the summer, a new single with a video should drop I think. But who knows?

It is. It's one of Lana's favorite magazine to promote things. But look up on they website and there is no news confirming the Lana and Marina collaboration.

I wished Lana recorded a Bond song at some point... But then again, if it is for a GOOD Bond movie. Skyfall was the perfect song for the perfect Bond movie... Sam Smith's cooing syrupy ballad of him being incapable of resisting the macho all-powerfull Bond was just so wrong... And to think that Radiohead's song was not chosen over that sh*t and that Lana has not even been asked to write one... There was a rumor that 24 has been written with James Bond in mind... And I get why it would not have been chosen: Lana is clearly too "indepedant" on that one and not "needy" enough to have fitted Spectre.

The HIAB snippet got us through what? 195 pages?! That new 3-second snippet should get us through 250 at least. We will all lose our shit when we hear the new single, mostly being disappointed because it won't sound like UV 2.0, or HM 2.0, or AKA 2.0, or psychedelic noirish synth pop gore violins, or won't be a Marina-Florence-FKATwig-Xtina-Britney collaboration. But hey, we all love a good drama, don't we?

Not related to LDR6, but while we are on the topic of collabs, I might as well add my two cents, though I know it will be very unpopular. ​I thought the collabs added an extra layer to most of the songs. LFL could have been a solo song, but I love how her voice blends with Abel's. The collab on Groupie Love adds a nice touch before the final chorus. Summer Bummer could have been without the Carti guy, but i love ASAP's part. Tomorrow Never Came and BpBP would have been a bit blah without the collabs, I think. The melody on BPBP is so subtle that it needed a little boost to be good (and that one is definitely a grower). Tomorrow never Came has a nice melody, and Sean's voice, very similar to John, gives it a nice vintage touch.

I find it so funny that on Insta, people are already dissing the "new sound" and "poor lyrics" of LDR6... over a 3-second snippet heard in the background. Lana songs need to be heard completely and they are linked one to another on an album. ​When the LFL snippets surfaced, I was not convinced by some of the songs heard at first (the snippet for WtWWAW was so badly chosen), but I love all of them now. Would any of us ahve loved Heroin after a 30-second snippet, yet alone a 3-second one?!!

Don't know what it is exactly... And it is so short lol

People who smoke weed on a regular basis tend to be less motivated. Weed is a big downer when taken regularly. It's proven scientifically. I'm not saying Lana is never smoking pot, I'm not saying it's the same for everyone (I dated a guy who smoked every day and was almost functioning normally, for the most parts), but let's look at her schedule: she never stops. I doubt that, at 30, she could keep that busy schedule and be constantly on drugs. True, many rock and roll artists in the past have been drug users all of their lives, but then again, look at her schedule. A big party night is way harder to get over when you are 30+. I also see Lana as a melancholic kinda of person; weed everyday would bring her down drastically, I think. Of course, I only speculate, and I don't have facts from her recent personal life to back this up.

I agree. Plus she is always working like a madwoman. If she was always high, we would still be waiting for LFL at this point lol

Lana slayed, Blake Lively looked royal, Chadwick Boseman was stunning (kinda rare for a guy, to stand out in formal wear), Frances McDormand was regal... ​Really hated Rihanna "sexy pope" look, Ariana Grande's big bow on her head (my sister had the same curtains in her bedroom when she was 8 lol), and there were too many ladies looking like the Queen of Hearts rather than a caholic symbol lol

Well, if she releases a new song called "Wings on my head", we'll know what her inspiration was for that one ​It'd be so freaking cool, if she released the Mary (scared of me) song at some point

I agree. as a trio, with her mask on, it is really beautiful. Even the wings on her head are starting to grow on me.

Why are the wings on her head? I don't hate the look at all, but why the wings on her head?

Her team of collaborators was diverse yet united at the same time (Nowels, Larcombe, Haynie, Heath, Parker...) on that record.

Rumour has it on Insta that she will not only attend (did not see that one coming) but that she will do something with Jared Leto and Alessandro (a nativity scene is mentioned). All this is to be taken with a grain of salt, of course (God I am bored and craving for new stuff to get so excited over so little news)

Then again, she is always working on new stuff. And she loves to be in the studio to record...

Like I said before, it depends if the initial vision of the album is still the same as in January (to have an album made of new songs and of unreleased and unleaked ones). If it is still the case, it is possible we might get an album by the end of summer (5-6 new songs aren't that much - we already know the existence of three of them- and our girl has at least 5 or 6 unreleased and unleaked ones lol). But if the vision changed, if she is going with 100% new content, although she is super productive, I doubt we'll see a new album in 2018. And I know she loves to tease, but it would be plain cruelty to tease Happiness is... in March to have it released in 2019

God this is hard to answer!!! I have many trinities, to be honest, depending on the mood I am in. ​On a personal level: Ride - Get Free - God Knows I Tried ​On her "I'm in love" songs: West Coast, Religion, American ​On her "I am heartbroken" songs: Cherry, The Blackest Day, Sad Girl ​On her "Life is kinda stupid" songs: Gods and Monsters, Born to Die, Is This Happiness ​On her "I am so fucking cool" songs: Brooklyn Baby, Cruel World, National Anthem ​On her unreleased ones: BAR, Your Girl, Yes to Heaven
