American Whore

Queen of..... fucking living lol

I love how active Lana is right now. This past month or 2 have just been posts every few days and it’s the best thing to happen, (for once)

Like I said you’re allowed to an opinion but don’t discredit him just because you don’t like him. YOU DONT HAVE TO LIKE HIM. Trilogy speaks for itself. Lol “get off your high horse” hahaha I’ve heard plenty of Portishead, I know plenty enough about trip hop. Like I’ve said he’s used it before. I DID NOT, and I repeat, DID NOT SAY HE ONLY DOES TRIP HOP AND IS THE KING OF TRIP HOP. Chill the fuck out For some unknown reason youre in your feelings about it. I really don’t know or care why. That’s your own problem. I’m glad you have an opinion. But that’s enough. We get it you hate Abel enough that you have to announce it to the world and say he’s shit and he trashed LFL and that’s cool if you think that. For some of us, Stargirl would be really cool to hear extended into its own track. Your opinion is NEVER thought about when she makes her records, it’s mostly for herself. And if that means she makes a track with him that’s dark and mysterious and cool, the fans who like that will be happy. You can delete the track if you can’t fathom him working with Lana. Simple fix

She looks happy at least in some pics. I like when she’s out and she’s with buds and she’s smiling. Ugh it’s just so great that she’s in such a better mindset now. (Don’t get me wrong, I want a dark album again but not for a trade off with her personal happiness. She deserves to be happy)

You’re unknowledged about his music. You’re allowed to have an opinion, good or bad, but don’t discredit him just because you’re a pop stan and don’t like his pop tracks or his trip hop influenced or rnb tracks. Nobody asked you to and quite frankly, the negativity resonating from you seems like you’re either bitter about him for some reason or salty. Maybe you’re a Selena fan? Idk. But saying The Weeknd has never used trip hop... how many artists do you know who stick to one genre or sound? Idk how you’re in a Lana community yet you’re not used to an artist changing their direction/genre every album. Yet, Lana is sometimes called a “pop artist” and you probably go along with it as if she has ONLY made pop, right? Yeah as if I’m stating he ONLY makes trip hop and has never done anything else.

Just because you don’t like trip hop, rnb, or rap doesn’t make him bad though. That’d be because of a shitty opinion, you don’t want him on the album. Listen to House of Balloons and tell me Lana wouldn’t be good on that album. His voice is fucking phenomenal, I don’t know why you’re saying he’s mainstream? Yeah he’s had songs on the radio but he started from the bottom like Lana did. Hidden on the Internet until fame found him. Lana did the same shit. LFL was actually one of the better songs on that album. At least, one of the better features. It was more cinematic. I just didn’t like his voice on a cinematic happy song. Like I said, something dark would be great

There’s actually a theory about that, that’s a thing. I remember years ago there was a theory about his music being a guy’s answer to her music which was cool when they started collabing because then it was like “wow they knew”

I’d like to hear her add The Weeknd to something again but in a darker song. Lust For Life was more happy and just kind of... it was a good track but it was just weird hearing such a light happy track with The Weeknd on it. Something with him on like a Stargirl track would be amazing on this album if they could pull of that dark mysterious vibe.. But that track I dream of from the two of them will probably never happen. And I really like Rocky apart from his LFL features, except for Ridin’. But not with Lana on tracks like Groupie Love which sounded like Interscope just wanted a feature and they worked on multiple songs while they were hanging out so of course she used at least 2 with him. She couldn’t waste that material. I just wish she would keep it to a point where it isn’t overcrowded or over done with too many “friends”. I’d really not even like to hear a collab with Marina on this album, but rather a collab on Marina’s album

I think that she’s winded lol like it’s been a long day

I think it’s because she’s not worrying about the radio or pleasing anyone else’s wants from her. She’s making music for herself again and I think that’s the best decision she’s made recently instead of trying to make music for her fans, which LFL was for her fans more than for herself. Which is why she had more fun with it. This one seems a little more personal and meaningful to her, which may be why some tracks she’s only showing snippets of, she may be unsure of that track’s future, depending on what it means to her

Why are we in the NORMAN FUCKING ROCKWELL thread talking about what was and wasn’t part of her (technically) FIRST ERA. Paradise is an EP. Period.

I agree, I see it as one era, just drawn out over about 2ish years. I used to not keep a separate Paradise album but because iTunes doesn’t allow multiple album covers per disc, I have in my iTunes BTD: Deluxe Edition, BTD: Paradise Edition, and Paradise EP by itself. Which seems weird I know but they’re just so seamlessly related I like having it that way

On Sept 20, 2018 someone (I could be wrong but that’s how it looked on the whois lookup) in Panama created normanfuckingrockwell.com which doesn’t lead to a website, it’s just like a blank ad site but keep your eyes on that, that site may lead to something (or maybe it’s nothing idfk) but seemed interested

I just wanna hear Lana say “fuck me” lmao maybe in the second chorus it’ll change? Change is a powerful thing so

The pic of Kali Uchis on Apple Music reminds me of that shoot from 2011 I think where she’s in the car and I think the same shoot had the big fluffy cat. It might’ve been a different shoot but I think it was the BTD album cover shoot or it was one very similar Sorry I know this is random but it’s funny how the “gangsta Nancy Sinatra” kind of left Lana and now since Lana’s kind of left that in the past (I think), Kali just looks very similar to the look Lana was going for in BTD days

LOOOOL remember when people thought that was Lana on that track?

I hear “Hold me, love me, touch me, fuck me” both times she says that line. Idk

I know it’s a pipe dream but I’d love to hear what Jack and Dan Aurbach could come up with together around Lana’s voice

I don’t mean to sound weird in saying this but this track strangely reminds me of something from Taylor’s Red album. It would just fit well there I think, the production and vocals. I’m not really a Taylor fan anymore but I did like that album a lot when it dropped but I fucking love this with Lana’s high vocals wow. Also reminds me of BANKS and Lorde too which I love so I’m down for this

I love the sound of this song but I immediately thought this could be part of another song and not a track called Cinnamon... and she just put that as the tag line on her post. But who knows we may not even get these fucking tracks she’s letting us have a listen at lmao

Honestly tho... I don’t want her to announce anymore until the album date is announced. Hearing all these tracks (and knowing some STILL may not make it on the album because she did this shit with L4L where she teased amazing shit and never released it....). It had me excited and hyped but I just don’t want to be disappointed because for all we know these are all outtakes -_-

So far it’s -Mariner’s Apartment Complex -Norman Fucking Rockwell -Venice Bitch -Cinnamon (unless that’s part of another song possibly??? Idk why I’m questioning that snippet post but i am lol) -How To Disappear -Happiness Is A Butterfly Sylvia and Bartender are both kind of unknown. She mentioned Bartender but that was back in January before she announced working with Jack I think so he could’ve reworked it already. Same goes with Sylvia I think that song is older now too than this era’s writing period. Also keep in mind in her interview with Zane Lowe it kind of sounded like she wanted to release a stand alone single in October and some said it was one that would be on the record, I’ve heard if she did release one it wouldn’t be for the record, just a stand alone single by itself. That could happen where she releases HTD or HIAB by itself and leaves it off the album. We’ll see as we get closer and don’t quote me, I’m just thinking about rumors

I immediately thought this too lol

I still love this track so much. The jazzy live vocals make it even better on YouTube. Fuck I want some jazzy bluesy Lana after this new album lmao

I’m still wanting to know what the fuck this was....
