So it’s coming out on Jack Donoghue’s birthday? We love a consistent queen.

It’s a midnight release, so NZ already has it and if you have a VPN, you can log on to Spotify NZ

I don’t mind if someone explains how it reminds of Honeymoon, even if it’s remotely, but I hate a thrown « it reminds me of HM » with nothing else further.

I have yet to hear the new version but, to me, it’s a bit of a « full circle » moment: when it first leaked, I prefered SYTH to Fine China, the title is almost a reference to Born to die. And it could be a radio hit for her, for once!!

Nan agree to disagree on that one. I have a large spectrum when it comes to my « tolerance » or love towards her covers, but the BB covers were just plain ugly, with those filters and the ugly fonts. The Hope cover was, to me, cute and sorta camp but not the BB ones

Yeah that was the worst of the worst

The official reasons of this release are a bit blurry but I think SYTH could be a way to « test » how an unreleased collection could perform. i don’t understand the Lizzy credits either, but I don’t really care TBH. I don’t hate the selfie as a cover but to each its own.

Love this cute cover can’t wait to hear it tomorrow

To all future insiders of LDRX, here are sentences that you must never ever use for her future albums: « It sounds like UV » or « It reminds me of HM ». Unless you do provide a lot of nuances to your descriptions, you better ban those two albums from your references because most of LB will Make the deceitful shortcut of thinking the album will have heavy guitars 🎸 or hazy, dreamy production with strings.

Is LDRX’s direction already set in stone? No matter how many MV could be released, I want Rich Lee

So we’re getting Say Yes to Heaven and Hollywood Bowl pretty much at the same time? you gotta love this woman, OB is not even 3-month old SYTH is rumoured to impact radio on June 5. Which means the song should be released just before that.

Those festival venues tend to be about « greatest hits » set lists, so maybe she won’t sing as much from BTD as she used to, but it’s inevitable there’ll be some for sure…

I love how Nikki became the Antichrist here (and I can’t even say I hate Nikki)

She really is beautiful on that one

i really hope that for her next collabs she’ll sing at least a verse and stops oohhh and ahhhhs in the background. also: I’ve revisited Doin’ Time, with summer approaching. Needless to say that she should go back to that sound, at least for a song or two, or even a collab. We need a new Lana summer bop (I know it’s unfair, with the last two songs of OB that are the closest to a summer bop as we got in recent eras, but still)

I’m down for that. really like Billie and it’d be another easy streaming hit under her belt.

Just a little before OB, that account also mentioned a LDR X pop/rock group. 🤷🏼 let’s delulu this shit

It’s probably false, probably not for LDRX, but nothing is happening, so…

Yeah it really is a shame that it got deleted. I wish she releases the 6 or 7 audio poems she has, although it’s missing the « centrepiece », the poem about feminism.

It’s honestly one of her best MV, one that elevates the song even more. i loved CN from day one, but since the MV is out, I love to play on repeat.

There was Elizabeth Short for sure (aka The Black Dahlia). Veronica Lake when she wears the cape in the alley. I guess Priscilla Presley at the end. I think that many stars can also be her from her passed eras.

A sign that a Lana video is great is that I want to get back to it many, many times to vibe with the song + visuals, and it elevated the song. Candy Necklace serves that and is a pure work of art. My faves from her are, in no particular order, National Anthem, Blue Velvet, Fuck It I Love You / The Greatest, Shades of Cool and Candy Necklace. Ride, COCC, BTD, MTWBT, Love used to do that, but I don’t click with them as much these days.

Oh didn’t know that! Thanks!

I love the meta references to her old videos, which are almost caricatural. Especially the old guy: he’s really an old man, not even some tattooed daddy.

If the BTS hadn’t been part of the MV, it would have been something stunning, like the COCC MV, but it would have lacked some dimension IMO. plus the BTS mirrors the sound of OB, where there are so many flaws from the takes that ended up on the final mixing of the songs, to embrace imperfections to heal and grow. Here, it’s like she explains, there’s the persona and there’s the real woman. And it ties with the complex image of the Candy Necklace, that I see as an empty or ephemeral promess (unlike diamonds that are supposed to be forever). urgh her mind!!!! i didn’t care for a big MV for this era…I take back my words, this is perfect.
