GeminiLanaFan

I don’t know what to think of her taste in men (and sure won’t judge her: I really don’t have a perfect track record when it comes to my own men ) Im mostly surprised this woman is not a Gemini haha: when a relationship is done, The next BF almost seems like a total opposite of the previous one. I guess it’s tricky, in a way: she dated a lot of musicians and must have been fed up by them, so she went for the more « conservative » type to achieve her goal of having a family; but they surely were way too conservative for her…

Im not usually that fan of gossip when it comes to her: we never get the full picture and she chooses not to talk about it, so I’m like « I’ll respect that ». but that post makes it really hard not to wonder and wanting to know what really went on between these two, so that two years later, she still wants to fuck him over I thought the title track dropping on his birthday was a coincidence… From what I read, in the other threads, is that he is now married? Another Francesco situation I guess.

I don’t think she’ll ever retire tbh and since she did not corner herself into a « singer that talks lots about sex » (like many pop girls do and that gets old real fast over time) and since she loves many different genres, she could go on for as much as she wants tbh. However, if she ever has children, the pace of her albums could slow down. Same if / when she tours again. Or if she embraces her poetry even more. i must say though that I’m very surprised that both BB and DYKTTATUOB have been released so fast: I really thought she needed a break after that Annie Mac interview the day the COCC title track was released.

Two night ago, I dreamed some of y’all had had access to the album and you were all tagged and exposed. I was about to scroll down to read your comments.. and I woke up

Yeah I’m starting to think the MV part of this era could be smaller than we expected… Probably because of the gorgeous photoshoot for W magazine and because of the « return to bigger production » we thought this era would be as « big » as Norman. Plus she’s been doing tremendously well this whole year on Spotify… But I guess she’s still in the « BB state of mind » for marketing… Maybe some cute homemade MV was filmed for the title track and it got lost on her stolen computer… (even if so, wouldn’t someone else have a damn copy of it?) The album cover sure is a serve and this album already feels incredible, but if there aren’t any MV for this era, it will make the pre-release a bit « drier » (although, I must say, a MV needs to be really good to have my hyped for more than a few hours )

At least it’s not the « She scrapped the whole album » conversation that happens every damn album cycle when she’s been really quiet

Periodt

Probably to prevent leaks. With titles, it’s a step closer to looking up songs on sharing sites.

I know this album will have singer -songwriter vibes and there a lot of long songs in it like BoZ said, which « complicates » a bit the choice of singles. the title track made a lot of sense as a single (length, vibes, producers), but I wish the next one will be more up-tempo ish or have more guitars… A&W, I’m dying to hear it… but do you release one of the highlights as a single (even if she did so with VB)? I know it’s often done, but still. I’m curious about Fingertips, the Grants also… I just hope the next single has a MV. maybe it will be the song with the long-ass acronym?

Since there is nothing else to talk about… here’s my ranking of her title tracks: 1- Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd? It’s grand, it progresses into something so beautiful, there’s a vulnerability I connect with immensely these days. And those violins, those lyrics 2- Chemtrails Over the Country Club: when you hit 30+, this song becomes pure magic. It’s easy to overlook it, but there must be crack in it or something, you need to press play again right after it ends. 3- Born To Die: that intro, those chill beats… one of the first tracks I heard from her and thought: Bich is describing my life. 4- Ultraviolence = Honeymoon: both put me in a trance and embody their own album perfectly. 5- Blue Banisters = Norman fucking Rockwell. Both are easy to overlook. Both are singer songwriter gems with incredible vocal moments. But both aren’t tracks I replay over and over, to be honest, and need to be in the context of their albums. 6- Lust for Life. Not a bad song per se (I really like it in fact), the Weeknd and Lana sound very nice together. I love its retro vibes and enjoy it in the Spring, when you become hopeful of months to come. Lyrically not her best though. I love the demo (it could have been a nice reprise on the album), but I don’t believe it could have replaced the released version (I made a playlist of the « OG LFL album », and the demo doesn’t blend well with Love and 13 Beaches - but it’s another debate altogether). voila!

Well that aged like milk

and yet, it still hurts

I love it too, so much. There’s something about Lana and violins that gets me every damn time

NFR really was a one-year nightmare of a pre-release. i think what makes the wait ok this time is that I thought a March release was the earliest we could have hoped for. Unless more vinyls plants open, the days of HM’s less-than-two-months prerelease are sadly over.

Ok this so funny we were desperate for the era to begin, last month but yeah, it’s kinda true that I want to know / hear more about this album. Thank god I have a vacation planned until the beginning of January to get my mind (somewhat) off that album

I don’t think she even posted a snippet of the song, right? Preorder day was so chaotic at work and on socials, I had a hard time keeping up.

We survived NFR’s pre-release. We got this. we don’t have the tracklist yet, a new single is almost certain somewhere mid-January - mid February. Maybe even a third one. Maybe some MV, maybe some photoshoots for magazines… It won’t be a drought.

Venice Bitch: paint me happy in blue (fave song from her, so no -brainer) but the best rendition of the word is on the title track of NFR: you make me bluuuuuueeeee

The long-ass acronym doesn’t make any sense at all any song title with Lizzy or Elizabeth has me immediately going like . except for « Lizzy, I’m calling from Calihoma » Waist Deep in Icy Waters feat FJM would be too much of a fan’s wet dream to be true.

or

Would make sense: let the XMas mania die down and start again the LDR9 fest with a new single mid/end January

Lol or until the whole album leaks let’s not kid ourselves : so many of us will go listen to it before release

I never was sure since May. Thanks! It makes sense. Oh!!! That song sure will divide!!! And I’m here for it! (She really seems to not play it safe this time around and letting it all out)

Gorgeous!!!

Although I read that interview a couple of times, I’m still not sure Back in May, this is what we thought, but maybe we’re wrong. one thing is for sure though: the song must be very special for Lana if she mentioned it back in May and did include it in her thank you note (surely a « Hope » situation, when she is happy because she didn’t think the song could be done)
