She can always cancel last minute

I think that artists nowadays must tour or, at least, pull off a Beyoncé a do a very big concert / festival. I don’t want her to tour for the sake of it on a neverending thing. But something smaller maybe?

It’s true that January has been dry promo wise with the album.

well, I’ll leave it to her to take a break if she wants to I’m saying this again, but her Annie Mac interview for COCC made me believe for sure that she’d take one after COCC… need i say more? I like a good MV for sure. As for a tour…. I don’t know. Her live performances often are uneven: some nights, she is phenomenal and some others, she is a bit off Unless there are lot of surprises on her next set list, I don’t crave for a tour (and those often make the process of a new album take longer ). i love Lana most of all for her music. As long as the album covers are great, I wont complain. I also love magazine interviews and photoshoots: there is something very « old Hollywood » about her a star, in 2023, promoting her art through those.

It’s at midnight, local time.

Yeah, I don’t think we’ll learn much from that interview… and, well, it’s a bit in part cause our trusted insiders spilled a lot in the ´passed weeks hehe 😜

She triggered my FOMO real bad, when she said there’d be a boxset without a date announcement

Apple Music doesn’t have previews / snippets. ITunes does, but not very much in advance (if ever). ITunes does display song lengths though of coming songs. The 30-second previews we had in passed eras was from some smaller sites offering streaming / buying options.

Don’t be so hard on yourself, sweetie I, too, only figured it out like a month ago. and I just realized, last week, that the album covers were working in pairs: - standard mirrors the HMV / Target pink one (same blue ish-grey filter); - the Amazon one mirrors the indie one (both coloured, with green and pink); - the white vinyl mirrors the boxset cover (both B&W, with a similar filter and both textless).

I’ve seen they were gone… but can someone update me on that one? I missed something this weekend. i don’t want Kintsugi to be gone, but I don’t want to know about the songs anymore, now that we have the tracklist and the song length.

Yeah, it kinda hurts, to be back at that mark… Something needs to happen.

Lol what were they expecting? I’ll say this again, not that I ever believed it would happen, but if they wanted the album to remain a surprise, it needed to be out on streaming like in December, with preorders for the physicals. They know it leaked, and I’m actually surprised it hasn’t circulated more than that, tbh.

I’m 100% sure there will be some kind of tour, if only for the postponed/cancelled dates of the NFR tour

Depends. With Lana, they were right about the title track being released in December. so, I tend to think it’s possible. The other « insider » accounts, I don’t follow anymore cause they’ve been wrong about Lana all the time.

since there is not much to talk about… leaks nation have been right about TUOB being released in December, so it could be correct.

No. Twitter has nothing better to do.

I want them all and I want a preorder

And we’ve had Buddy’s Rendezvous I love that song so much.

I wish it could mean something, that she posted about it twice… but I’m not getting my hopes up on that one

Oh thanks! I’ll edit my post!

I’m not 100% sure, but wasn’t LFL the last era from her with preorders and bundles counting for week 1? but I could be completely wrong.

Vinyls count in numbers when they are sent. If they move the release date up, it means her numbers for week one would be from streaming alone… Edit: I thought NFR followed those rules, but it began with COCC for her (since June 2020)

Although I think a number 2 spot is more plausible, I wouldn’t rule out a number 1 spot completely yet… if everyone is playing their cards right. Physical copies count for a good chunk of the official numbers and her vinyls really seem to be selling well. But they need to be sent at the right time, for week one. As for streaming, if the albums has a lot of buzz and it’s a week without any other big releases, streamings could be good. Not very likely, but if there is some sort of preorder for the boxset available on release day, it could boost her numbers even more so.

TBH, I WISH I had taken a day off when the title track for this album was out: it was one of the worst days of the year at work, I barely had time to listen to the damn song once on my lunch break. BoZ was spilling a lot and there were so many vinyls / products to buy / to consider buying. i really do prefer when anything Lana-related happens on a day off.

Lol the black narcissist line now seems so innocent and cute, now that we had QFTC I honestly never thought that line from Hope was problematic, and neither did the critics. but I remember that some here were worried she’d get cancelled lol As for the cover, I thought it was okay: not her best, not her worst (Picsart selfies, anyone?), but somehow « fitting » with the song.
