Fingertips

guys, a question for those who already heard the leaks. Which of the songs that appear as a collaboration have the voices of other artists? For example, I'm assuming the song Grandfather won't have any other vocals because it's only the piano that's a sample.

Do we still get album descriptions from iTunes before releases? Those are very often filled with descriptions about the tracks

You know, I think we’re really going to miss this prerelease era. Having the album to ourselves will be magical and eternal but I’ll miss these moments of getting together with dozens of fans to celebrate a living legend. What a special era. I’m so happy.

I won't miss this pre-release. It made way too many great users stop posting on LB. Way too toxic.

I have this feeling that this will be her most acclaimed album. 10 on Pitchfork with Fingertips being Best New Track and probably a 90+ on Metacritic (would love a 100)

Yep, I think the BNT from Pitchfork will be between one of these songs:

Fingertips

Grandfather

Taco Truck x VB

Taco Truck is a new song, but the transition leads to the demo of Venice Bitch

I don't even care if it leaks anymore, the clouds have parted the sun is shining the birds are singing and we are ascending SOOOON 

This is my Ultraviolence, the album I use as the standard for the rest of her career 

I'm not trying to be hasty, but I see this album being the first female album to receive a 10 from Pitchfork since Fiona's "Fetch the Bolt Cutters." 

"The easiest album she's ever made" yet these songs are so fucking complex so far. She's such a genius.

Jack Antonoff: "You have a weird whiplash of not knowing what you’re supposed to feel (on A&W) That sensation is across the album: you could dissect the tone of whether it’s hints of gospel or bringing back some of the 808s and the fucked-up side of things. But in the studio, it was just about finding what is shocking in the moment. Lana is boundaryless. She’s reached a point in her work, which is really my favourite place to work from, where there’s nowhere to go but way out into the fucking wilderness artistically. Go chase radio? That’d be so stupid. Go chase trends? So stupid. She created all the trends. It’s a freeing place, if you can accept it. The only place to go is to be a leader."

 

This album is going to be frighteningly good 

Jack Antonoff is KING and I hope they continue working together for a long time. 

Ready for Fishtail, Paris, Texas, and Taco Truck

There’s a playfulness, freedom and an honesty about her immediate reality on her new album, Did You know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd. Tracks flow in a jazzlike trance; classic piano and acoustic songs blend into hip-hop, pop, gospel and choral numbers. Colloquial lyrics move as fast as a Beat writer’s poem: they seamlessly speak to a friend about culture, offer mundane updates on what’s going on in her daily life, present notes on dark relationships. But songs frequently, as Antonoff notes, come together with a “voice of God, some joy or hopefulness”.

ALBUM OF THE CENTURY 

"For those still searching for their person, there is always the devotional love that overarches the 77 minutes in the form of God, preacher's lessons, and a warm and wistful spiritualism." 

Love this sm

What an amazing interview. Glad to actually learn more about the record.

where is candy necklace in the ranking of the three insiders?

Rosemead and BoZ both have Candy Necklace directly in the middle, on the lower end of the middle section to be specific

and Rosemead said despite Candy Necklace and Kintsugi being on the lower end for him they're still amazing.

 Hold your tongue, Fingertips. Hold your tongue.

It's very playful, warm, wholesome. It sounds like Lana and Jack are at a piano together playing for a group of friends. In the middle of singing she trails off and talks (as if she's addressing someone at the party). It feels kind of improvised, but in a cute way

after further investigation i’ve come to the conclusion that the let the light in snippet is giving me softer california (nfr) vibes

 

Whack ass "insiders" that aren't BoZ, Kintsugi, 111, or FloridaKilos, you'll actually get the attention your parents never gave you if you start leaking full songs.
