@JinnWithin
 
Thanks for all this info!!! It’s rlly got me more hyped for this project.
 
As you said, no leaked unreleased songs are going to be present on this album. Despite this, are any unleaked unreleased songs going to be on the album (such as Loved You Then and Now)?
 
Also, will any performed songs, such as Hey Blue Baby, I Must Be Stupid for Feeling So Happy and Prettiest Girl in Country Music, be present on this album?
 
many thanks!! 

Again, if that's true, it's silly and self-defeating as I see it.
 
Lana should Fight the Power, not acquiesce to it.
 
Like the Good Witch blithely saying, 'Begone, you have no power here' to the Wicked Witch of the West. 

I agree about the election, etc., being unlikely. It would be a boner move from every angle. 

JinnWithin, thanks. We have no way of telling whether what you're conveying is legitimate or not. I can easily see everything you've shared being legitimate, but as many are saying, we've been misled and lied to many times in the past, so we can't take everything you say as gospel truth; in fact, we have to assume it's not true for the sake of our own sanity. 
 
But if you'd like to continue to spill, please do. If it turns out you're correct and have been honest, of course we'll thank you. 

The Trump thing--"not keen on releasing"--seems bogus to me, and is, I hope.
 
WHY Lana or any other artist would let that affect their decision about releasing an album of Americana/Country/Standards is beyond me unless it's to make some sort of a hoped-for statement. We're in the midst of an economic crisis, but America is not in a WWII, a Viet Nam, or even the Cold War. That's why America is in such turmoil: it's as if we're all paralyzed by everything that happens or is reported to have happened, part of a domino set that has to be deeply affected by every move, counter move, and comment made in the political arena, the media, and social media. We're surrendering our own personal immediacy and freedom--and doing it willingly--for no good reason, often out of fear and/or for imagined 'brownie points,' PC-ism, Conservatism, Liberalism, Libertarianism, or whatever. We're being manipulated and we're falling for it. 
 
Lana, you are free! Release Lasso as planned.   
 
And I do take politics and the state of the world seriously. 
 
End of rant. 

As someone said yesterday, it is possible that someone in the industry, even in a minor or support role, might have heard several of the tracks, especially as we're moving into the period when the album is/was supposed to be released.
 
Remember the short video of a group of people listening to Candy Necklaces with Jon Batiste among them? Who were all the other people?--not that there was a mob. We don't know; they could have been anyone, even friends of those either invited or there working at the time in some capacity. 
 
Lasso is on lockdown, but not absolute, complete lockdown. It's easy to imagine someone at the label finally hearing one or more tracks and calling in someone else to hear them too. 
 
So that part I can see as realistic. The rest seems rather teasing and harebrained.

When it is actually Kamala

Maybe this user is trying to start a viral psyop to gain support for Kamala by making it seem like new Lana music will come out of her winning the election  Everyone vote Kamala to #savelasso to get new Lana album

Thanks for the link and that interview.
 
Yes, we knew from the time LFL dropped, with WTWWAWWKOD and the other "anti-Trump" or "five political songs" recorded but ultimately not used for that album, that Lana was anti-Trump and said she felt "safer" after Biden was elected. We do live in a political world and it's definitely affecting us all in a big way right now, but I think it's a mistake to surrender one's independence to it, to become obsessed with it to the degree that so many are, and allow it to ruin our day-to-day life and mood. 
 
What if she doesn't want to release Lasso due to a possible Trump second term and then Harris wins, which certainly looks possible? 
 
To my ear, a lot of Lana's stated political beliefs (still) sound forced or deceptive. And I'm someone who loved WTWWAWWKOD and didn't mind the Black Lives Matter lyric in Text Book, because I believe she probably did attend one or more BLM rallies and experienced what she sang about in that song.
