True… but does she want promo?

It clearly ain’t. But the Jimmy part tricks a lot of people thinking it’s a slutty / boppish for the clubs song

Since I love Candy Necklace’s MV so much, I’ll never say she made the wrong choice to give this song the MV treatment i think the format of the MV (take an already long song and make it a 10 min mini film where the song is paused) surely has played a big role in the numbers… I haven’t checked for FIILY and the greatest, but I don’t remember this double MV having made an impact. Besides, she went down the concept route rather than the « classic MV » one. Like you said, A big-budget for a&w could have been a better choice, even if it’s a very long song. The music industry doesn’t seem to really know if MV are a good investment right now, in the streaming and TikTok age. They don’t perform as well as they used to. Other big artists don’t have as many MVs as they used to in different eras. Unless you’re an emerging (and physically cute / gorgeous) artist, the need for MVs seems to be dying, sadly.

Yeah, but I can’t say that I’m surprised: SYTH was already a fan-fave for many months now and its format makes it easier to have big streaming numbers: at 3:30, I rarely listen to it once. and let’s face it: OB is a masterpiece, but most songs aren’t very light in tone, when they’re not very very long. Not the best for big numbers. since Norman, there’s a « pattern » of some sort when it comes to her releases: she makes the singer-songwriter records she wants, and there are collabs or a standalone single in this case that are extremely successful, which makes everyone « happy »

Haha I had a similar experience yesterday. I turned on notifications with Alexa for anything Lana related (big case of FOMO that turned out to be completely useless: Alexa is always a day behind on releases ). I asked her to play the new Lana « album », not remembering the sped up version after the official release. I thought at first the instrumentation was cute (I even thought it was another song by another artist, just similar in style)… until the Alvin and the Chipmunks voice began singing « If you dance I’ll dance »

I haven’t listened to it in full, it’s honestly so awful (like one of the Chipmunks on cocaine), but I guess it’s good for her streamings. I would have fumed if the only official release had been the sped up version though.

An official release for Fine China would be a dream. But for a second hit, Queen of Disaster would be a smash (it’s such a good pop song).

The length of the song helps A LOT her streaming numbers. It’s hard not to press play again when it’s done. good for her!

The big surprise of SYTH is not that it’s still popular even though TiKTok is sorta over it, it’s not the production either, the biggest surprise is that there wasn’t an eclipse exclusive nor that BoZ didn’t even know when it would out as of yesterday (oops did I just spill?)

Unidentified Flying Bill is just so fun

Clearly not U2 (their latest is very meh)

So far, the hype is real. And it really has a good format for radio.

Fine China has some of the best writing ever from her. And since we don’t have the Rick version and since I love so much his version of SYTH, I really hope FC is coming to destroy us

I really love this version because the only version I liked before was the first one we got from Eclipse. All of the others had something I didn’t like at all (too much drums, for example). Probably why I love the official version (that and its timing is spot on)

Never thought I’d say this, I thought I was over with that song, but it came out at the perfect time for me. It is so soothing and calming for my aching soul after a near-hell month at work.

True! but my first thought about it was: there’s some sorta spiritual /prayer pose to it, mixed with a « Fucking hell, I can’t with those harassing gays, fine here’s that damn song » that selfie really is iconic

But there’s now fingertips and rock candy sweet Kinda agree with that one. I love all the songs that mention it but I hope a line has been drawn with it.

Or maybe I heard it wrong all this time https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/lana-del-rey-drops-yes-to-heaven-tiktok-viral-1234738156/amp/ Kinda like that they are mentioning Queen of Disaster as another one that should get an official release

The line I always liked the most was « I’ll put my red dress on again », which felt like « I know it’s another reference to it », with a little bit of despair in her delivery. Now that we have entered another stage of her career with different tropes, it almost feels nostalgic to revisit the red dress of her early albums

Listened to it a couple of times with good headphones daddy Rick and Dean did an amazing job with production

I don’t see it in the Canadian store either

Although I don’t think a deluxe will ever exist, I must say that I’d love how a deluxe would extend this era a bit longer. OB is weirdly one of the eras I enjoyed the most from her, it’s such a lovely and dense album and I don’t really want to move on so quickly. Not sure SYTH would be fit on a OB deluxe though.

I think it’s pretty much always the case for songs that are out as a standalone single or that were on bonus tracks: she was sure those wouldn’t be on any album ever (explaining some questionable choices on the UV deluxe tracks when others would have been way more fitting and better) To me, This version might be the one that integrates and blends the best all the elements of passed versions. It’s very lovely and dreamy.

Her team has sent a poll to Lana Discord, where fans can vote for which unreleased songs they prefer, paired in groups of four (you vote for your favourite two in each group). The link is probably 50 pages before this one. It’s not a guarantee an unreleased collection will be out, but her team is sorta testing the waters on interest for some songs. All of the songs are pretty much pre-UV.

Not sure. My feeling: it’s a test to see if an unreleased collection could do well, based on the Discord poll.
