I wonder if she’ll reveal the tracklist a song at a time or all at once… maybe they’re waiting as long as possible to avoid possible leaks (it’s sure is easier to look up for songs when you know its title)

I absolutely adore that the W magazine photoshoot matches the visuals of this album I wonder if the title track was always meant to be the lead single or if the initial plan was to have a song that was going to be more 🌊, since it was rumoured to be out some time last summer three months feels super long right now, although I must remind myself that things will happen in the meantime.

I didn’t see any lyrics that weren’t Lana’s in the writing credits, so I doubt there’s a cover on this album.

Agreed! Never thought math could be so tough… and so fucking irrelevant in the end . Like does it change anything at this point which number it is? It doesnt make an album better or worse…

Neither was it for me!!! but for others here… it didn’t live up to their expectations

Is American Whore becoming the new Dealer that will inevitably disappoint us because of our through-the-roof expectations??

Agreed! And at 9 songs with the deluxe edition, it’s only one song short from what is usually considered a LP / album. (the remastering of Yayo kinda always meant to me that the rerelease of aka as a whole album was dead and buried)

Not trying at all to gaslight you, because I share some parts in what you said, but I, too, skip some parts of both COCC and BB and hopes that this album will go bigger (which I’m sure it will). but here’s how I see COCC and BB: they were her « pandemic albums », when she was at a standstill and couldn’t create the way she used to. COCC is a reflection on her career and BB is a reflection on her personal trauma / passed relationships. Although both albums have standout tracks, others, with their minimal production, I had a « problem » relating to some themes and couldn’t lean on production alone to enjoy the tracks, as opposed to her first albums where I could always rely on the music to like the song nonetheless (ArtDeco and Carmen, for example : I don’t have anything in my life to relate to them but the music won me over nonetheless). For Free and Dance Til We die are beautiful but are too much about her life as an artist ; same for the motherhood songs on BB like Cherry Blossom or Sweet Carolina. anyways, sorry for the long essay: these are my two cents that I wanted to share.

I find it funny that Apple Music has the album categorized as pop

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl4S_Ddpl_Y/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= sorry for posting so much but I have a lot of questions… Does anyone know what the caption means: « The day I met Jimmy » the picture dates back to their first meeting, but is it Lana’s nickname? Is Lana Jim in her songs?!?

Based on the writing credits, I’ve seen that Jon Batiste penned two tracks with her. Maybe it’s for two separate songs, but I’m leaning towards Rockefeller having an interlude as an intro or outro sorry if it’s been discussed, but Wednesday, being a Lana Stan was a full-time job and I had very little time to process everything this is actual footage of me trying to catch up with everything on Wednesday

This album is already amazing to me and we’ve only heard the title track. before the COCC era, she had posted a clip from From Here to Eternity, which is Golden Age Hollywood, an era I absolutely adore. Back then, I thought it was a hint of things to come (I now know I don’t Stan Taylor haha and that almost nothing is a clue with Lana). Needless to say it wasn’t. so, to hear those grand strings on that vulnerable ballad, with those vintage inspired album covers, this is a dream to me, an almost return to HM with the lyricism of BB Not that I want the whole album to sound like that, but so far, I am a happy camper

The melody is similar on some parts, yes. When she opens the song, it reminds me of « talk to me with that whisky breath », and the chorus reminds me of « light me up like a Fourth of July ». IYLDWM is probably my favourite song ouf of BB, but I didn’t think she could top it

I was just thinking the same yesterday, when I blasted the song with a glass of wine. I could totally see Lana singing in that damn tunnel not wanting to be forgotten

this album is gonna murder me

I think she’ll do some sort of tour but surely will announce it after Christmas, when people might have money, hahaha

Oh!!! Not that I was scared (I like all of the LFL collabs), but I thought six for 14 songs was a lot… so 4 collab tracks out of 14 is good) which brings us to the real question: could Lana really release an album as cohesive as UV or HM? (COCC doesn’t count: she said herself it was cut short in its creative process because of fucking COVID).

This will be sent straight away to the Random Topic thread

Discovering God at the clinic (works I guess)

I like your POV on it and kinda had the same thought. I do love however the vulnerability of that song. that being said learning to love oneself is not a linear line and is more like a wave 🌊 (DNC, everyone?) : it comes and it goes and maybe this song is sorta « setback » to old tropes?

I don’t remember who mentioned it, but DYKTTIATUOB (fuck that’s a long acronym) and Buddy’s RV next to each other is incredible

I was super busy at work yesterday and could barely listen to the song once but… dis I miss some possible trauma PTSD when we found out there were SIX collabs ?!? (like: « oh no, not LFL 2.0 »)

Same!!!! Last time it happened, it was for COCC…
