This is a masterpiece. 
 
The BTS vs the « real footage », just like the empty promesse of a candy necklace, her looks, the old Hollywood vibes, the references to her other MV, plus the black and white imagery that mirrors the first photoshoot of the era AND the album cover… This has got to be one of her best. 

omgg i can't wait to see the full version 

I really don't have time to do it today, but here is what I got so far.

OMG she has outdone herself AGAIN I love the meta theme so much which made me realize the Jon Batiste Interlude is sort of another behind the scenes piece of Jon and Lana playing in the studio together. That song exudes so much joy to me and it made me feel the same way seeing Lana at the end of CN video smiling on the walk of fame.

Same, it through me off lol 

Same, it through me off lol 

Same, it through me off lol 

help an ad played while i was watching

yeahhh there is definitely a mix between previous clips and old hollywood 
 


 
This is like the parallel between West Coast car scene and it's also Veronica Lake (mostly the cape look)
 

Yeah in the car. Throwback to the born to die video. That's why baptiste is so shocked - because he sees her dead. Then it cuts to her in "heaven" on the hollywood walk of fame. 
 
The story they're shooting is sth like she's dating / is sponsored by an older man but cheats on him with a musician she falls in love with and then she dies.
 
so it's got two stories happening in parallel - that's how i understood it at least.

She actually pulled a Roxxxy Andrews and had two wigs on!

Okay, now i'm expecting a new merch drop after the MV, cmon 

They restocked the candy necklace on lanadelrey.com

Just finished jackets and labels for 4 vinyls (3 jackets) out of my 19 vinyl collection for unreleased material. Thought I might share it with you for inspiration. 
 
I have worked on the tracklists for this for 3 years now until I finally felt satisfied enough to get them pressed on vinyl.  (... and I know exactly how I will feel when the next bunch of great unreleased songs will leak, which would have fitted in well, lol)
 
(I have just ordered a copy of "Black Beauty" and "Queen of Hearts" - hope they will turn out as intended.).
 
I hope I will be able to finish the other jackets and labels soon. The tracklists are kind of ready, but before I write them on the jackets, I usually listen to and change them again, at least a bit :-P

Full project overview:

 
Have to see about the GND vinyls (7). Either I have to sticker one of these old vinyl boxes from 50 years ago I found somewhere in the house, or I might see if all three of them fit into a normal gatefold jacket.

these are nice! i've actually been designing unreleased vinyl collections lately too but they're nowhere near as nice as yours. i originally just had my sister design the sleeve and labels for me for a 2 disc collection of post-btd pre-nfr songs but before i ordered it i emded up designing two 1 disc collections (one of some of kitschy lizzy era songs and one of cute pop songs) and since then i've already designed 5 more and i was gonna order a couple of them this week lol. the worst part tho is once i'm done picking songs and organizing them and designing the sleeves and labels, i just start working on another one. i need to stop myself. i wouldn't mind posting some pics of the ones i designed too (or at least thw one my sister deisgned for me bc its the nicest one)

That's the usual problem for me, too 😅🙈 just too much of a perfectionist. I think it is often easier to overtake someone else's design (as your sisters one) because towards other people's work we are often less critical 😅. 
 
Just post them, I'd like to see them! 
 
Currently my bigger problem are the songs/track lists though as I know how often I have changed those damn track lists in the last years and I know what will happen if I discover just the slightest wrong decision when listening to the vinyls. 😱🙈 CDs are easier to compile also, because I don't have these strong time limitations. For the vinyls, one side should not exceed 21.30 minutes for quality reasons and often I want to have a certain order but have to change songs from A to B sides, not to exceed the running time... 

yeah i find with thw one my sister deisgned for me, i just gave directions and was happy with whatever she did from there but with my own i'm constantly changing them and moving text over ever so slightly and hoping i don't wish something was slightly to the side when i have it. and i'm constantly switching out songs for othwr songs and that's usually how i end up making more collections bc i'll be bummed about some songs not working well enough thematically or into the time slots. like out of the 5 ones i haven't ordered yet, i still kee going back and changing songs or fonts on the cover or all kinds of stuff like that. for now i'll post the ones i've already ordered since those ones aren't changing lol.
 
this is the one my sister designed:
 
and here's the first one i designed:
 
and this is the second one i designed:
 
as you can see, the ones i did aren't as professional as the one my sister did but i still like them. maybe i'll post my other ones as i order them (since thats the only momwnt i can consider them finalized)

don't they have templates to use? On the site I use they offer their printing templates - then you can be sure that they won't cut anything you don't want to be cut. 
 
That's how it looks then:

on intheclouds when you upload your images it shows examples of how they'll look but it shows it on kunaki too but kunaki warns that texts too close to the edges could get cut off but it doesn't show that when you upload it. but then on vinylify when you upload images, it drastically cuts the edges off so i've been testing them there now just to be safe but i tried uploading the images from the 3 i already ordered to see and all of them had text cut off badly which worries me even tho you'd think intheclouds would mention or show that images get cut off if they do. i guess i'll find out when i get my records which will probably be in june or july (if i order my next few thru kunaki thwy'll probably come first bc they get them done faster than intheclouds lol). i guess worst case scernario i can order new sleeves for them.

I read very good reviews on the pressings by cutsonwax (Greek company) and the photos of sleeves people posted in their feedback to their site look amazing. Can't wait to get mine to see how they look in real. If the 2 sleeves are good, I can finish my 19/20 vinyl project with them. 
 
 
Thank you 😊 I really enjoy creating them, but it's so time consuming. It gets better though with each one due to experience. 

when her voice starts getting higher on the "How do my blood relatives know all of these songs?
I don't know anyone left to know songs that I sing" part 

Me too. Jon Batiste is also credited with playing piano on that song. Im familiar with some of his other works and hes such an incredible pianist and vocalist i hope lana works with him more.

Ya I can’t lie it definitely makes me scared she won’t do more pop/experimental songs on the next album  
but who knows, maybe it will make her want to make that kind of music more. 
if everyone likes it, maybe it’s not that good 

It's just her power, the recounting of a damaged soul's journey so far, masterpiece

Not Fingertips becoming the song I go back to the most omg
it wasn't in my top 5 at first
