Well not with Apple Music, once the preorder is up: the single cover is always the album cover

Yeah and let’s not kid ourselves that a triple single release of singer-songwriter material about passed trauma, with subtle production, doesn’t scream « hit » to the GP

Thank you!!! And wow: 30 songs over 5 minutes?? No wonder I Stan that (Venice) Bitch!!!

I don’t care personally at all and see more and more of her releases as « maybe could go number 1 ». I’ve also quoted my previous comment on the subject. 👆🏻

Totally 💯 agree!!! Music has always been part of my life and I love a long track, a song that takes its time to get you somewhere, and then the next one gets you on a second part of the journey… When I hear someone say « oh it’s my song » and you realize they only listen to the damn 10-second TikTok snippet…

Indeed! NFR ended up being number 3 on release week… but the buzz around that album has pushed it to great and steady streaming numbers. Is a number one THAT relevant for labels? Maybe not, but it really depends on what happens next in terms of streaming / buzz / popularity, which is almost impossible to predict (the number of « odd » songs in her discography that went viral and gave a new popularity push to her albums is insane UV doing so well after 8+ years?!? )

Well we can’t forget that Lana is an artist (I.e. an investment) for a labor that wants to be profitable. We’re lucky she is with Polydor / Interscope that gives a lot of liberty to their artists and thank God she is doing extremely well without any promo or next to none. But a couple of « weak numbers », for a couple or releases or at the end of a contract, could put her in a « problematic » position to do whatever she wants. We’re not there, her discography is doing solid on many levels, but not all of her releases have been « huge successes ».

Yeah… although I really don’t know where she stands now in terms of « competition »… her latest albums didn’t quite make the noise her previous ones did

The title track reminds me of Fine China, in its melancholy and sadness (clearly not for production now that we know we never heard the final mix ). With a bit of the honestly brutal lyrics of NFR (« don’t ask if I’m happy, you know that I’m not »/ « you fucked me so good that I almost said I love you » / « if you hold me without hurting me, you’ll be the first who ever did » ➡️ « open me up, tell me you’ll like it, fuck me to death, love me until I love myself »)

@BlackoutZone Thanks, king, for everything I don’t think it was asked yet, but what can you say about Loved You Then and Now, apart from containing the « rock Candy sweet » line? And do you like it? thanks you so so much!!!! ❤️

At this point, I just hope the acronym BoZ gave us doesn’t have a typo in it

Yes, what was proven. the best part is the story of Fine China / Yes to Heaven and Your Girl leak story.

After those two full emotional days, here are my thoughts this morning (not that anyone wants them, but still): - Im kinda glad now that I don’t spend a lot of time listening to demos and even leaks. Of course there are some I love, but it’s mostly songs that I feel are « finished ». I honestly feel we don’t know nothing about our beloved albums anymore - UV and I’m sure LFL are the two eras that have the best leftovers / outtakes - to whoever wishes Lana sits on an album and not rush it before releasing it: BoZ brought up the fact that there are some amazing songs from 2016 that never were on LFL. - I wanted to hear Dark City so bad but knowing it’s an unfinished song: - I now want the final Fine China on an official album so bad

Simpler way: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TJ0yxvS0DOpSbZd2a7vxbOKxE9QWGzammKdShB9eRzg/mobilebasic one kind soul compiled all the tea / responses from BoZ. I’m calling this the new bible.

Nan. If it did, this thread would be marked as HOT and would have 70 new pages or something

Sorry to have been so direct though I just caught up with this thread and saw you had made the titles up. i can’t wait to finally understand what the long-ass acronym is about once and for all.

Whoever wrote this needs grammar lessons first

Serene Queen bottom of the barrel?!? I mean, what was left in the vault?!?!

I didn’t think that leakers actually had to EDIT songs before leaking them No wonder it takes sometimes so much time to get a decent leak.

WoW i am gagged Although the organs on Your Girl always sounded cheap to me… but Fine China being fake?

Nan i’ve had several conversations which the Big Man when I was young but I disliked his homophobic views

I’m also part of the the « I don’t like I Talk to Jesus » fan club

Thanks!! I hadn’t heard it in a while and forgot how beautiful it was (although this is surely pretty much the whole song)

Completely off topic, but the Malibu demo she recorded and scrapped, she said it was way too personal for her to have it on an album. I wonder how she feels now, after all those very personal songs she put out since.
