How can a pop star just sit with her pen and paper to then just at random say ‘I wanna make a song called pink diamond’ and casually have it as an incredible demonic opening track. How? Talented little bitch

omg i just listened to p4u in full.... this was a RIDE.

DETONATE OMG

I usually just lurk signed out but I need to voice that some of you need to absolutely abstain from pop culture for a few weeks and then come back with a new appreciation. What other artist is doing what Charli is doing right now? Get help and stop ruining the enjoyment for yourselves. I don’t understand how you could possibly criticise her for this. Can you really not piece together that if she intended to have more fan produced beats (of which maybe 3 out of 200 were actually good) and lyrics at the beginning of the ambitious project she saw half way through that a compromise was needed as there wouldn’t have been an album on the deadline she set due to things taking longer than expected. She still let us in on a lot of the creation of the album and it was so interesting to see how she comes up with her music. I love talking and reading about music but some of you really just ruin anything that comes your way. Where would you even be without these artists who facilitate all of your depressed/manic moods with their music. Jesus. She didn’t even have to make an album she could have sat and enjoyed her time with her friends and boyfriend. Get over yourselves.

wow who knew that asking a lana forum if they knew where lana got an outfit from could cause the gays to go apeshit on them 

Guys, a lot of people collect Lana outfits, plus a Lana Del Rey forum would be a nice place to start in my opinion, no need to be so bitchy about it

ok so, BIG update: I've managed to make that folder myself, I shouldn't have missed anything relevant - I'll try to keep it updated as frequently as possibile

kind of obsessed with this candid, it's like a pop culture visual poem

its valentines, were all having sex with men who won't commit to us

tag yourself im the person going "who is that?"

It was just a thought....like the only songs from Rick were older songs she decided to put on this alboom. The original Next Best American Record was made in 2016, Bartender is most-likely from 2017/before she met Jack Antonoff and Happiness is a Butterfly (at least a demo version of the song) is from early 2018. And the NFR! Alboom trailer says that this record is produced by Jack Antonoff  and it  mentioned no other producers which worked on a few songs on NFR! , but Jack Antonoff is the main producer so I think that's why his name is written there. Lana and Jack are good friends and I think Lana feels very comfortable with Jack, which is good for her. When she had the idea for Looking for America she went to Jack Antonoff and recorded this song with him. And if I remember correctly somebody said on this forum that Lana was in Jacks Studio in January. There is no proof that Rick will not be  involved in WHF/LDR 7 but I have more like a feeling  that he is not involved...  but it would be great if he would be involved on LDR 7 !! I miss daddy nowels as well.... And I hope Lana talked or met Dan Auerbach on the grammys because their seats were pretty close to each other and I wouldn't  mind if he would jump on  a few songs

Do u think Violet has a cramp by now

What color will the vinyl be?

yall are gonna be 70 and still ask for these songs. its never happening

Everyone in here trashing Jack's production...
 
MAC
VB
NFR
TG
CG
and LS
 
are not going to be laughed at...

I'm honestly not sure where the idea that anybody criticising the production, mixing and mastering of NFR wants Lana to make polished pop (a la BTD) comes from. 
 
Personally Ultraviolence is my favourite Lana album, so believe me when I say I love the raw, chaotic, grunge/rock/blues/jazz-hybrid sound that Lana's had before. NFR could potentially be my second favourite album, because I love what it has to offer: heartbreaking and complex lyricism (Hope), trippy surf-inspired guitars (MAC, Venice Bitch), an increased sense of instrumentation compared to LFL, and so on. All of these things add to the appeal of NFR.
 
However, what I (and I assume other people) have a problem with on NFR is that these elements (barring the lyricism which producers don't have any control over) are not taken full advantage of. I don't want these elements gone and replaced by hip-hop beats and BTD strings and synths; I (we?) want more of them. Take the chorus of MAC, one of my favourite songs, as an example: there's very little bass when the chorus kicks in, which squanders the almost anthemic feel of the track; the drums don't quite have a kick to them; on streaming services the chorus is quite scratchy and almost metallic-sounding when played at a loud volume (which is the only way to get any semblance of the rousing vibe the song intends to inspire), as if the volume of all the instruments and layers weren't balanced properly and everything is happening at the same volume, a sure-fire way to make the song sound a little messy when played loud.
 
Compare this to West Coast, for example: those drums HIT, the layering of the instruments is masterfully done, the chorus is hazy and fuzzy and trippy but not at the expense of the production value because it feels like you hear exactly what you're supposed to.
 
Look at How To Disappear - I like the song, but when the line "But I love that man like nobody can" kicks in, Lana's vocal track randomly jumps a lot louder on the track, probably to compensate for the bells being added so that they don't drown out Lana's voice. This, however, is incredibly jarring and definitely noticeable, and I assume a rather amateur way to go about balancing out vocals and instruments. In fact, a lot of people take issue with the bells on the song overall, but if they were done a little more tastefully instead of just being slapped on top of the instrumental then perhaps people wouldn't feel this way - I mean, everybody loves the guitar on Happiness is a Butterfly because it's subtle and artfully done. I'd also like to use Sad Girl as an example - the Spanish guitar that's added to the second verse isn't subtle but it's not exactly in-your-face either; it adds to the track without messing up the overall vibe and making the song messier than it has to be, it's perfectly blended, it sinks into the background that was already established but it's noticeable enough to considerably elevate the track and give you something to look forward to each time you listen.
 
It's these little production "errors" that I believe people have a problem with.
 
Cruel World is an example of a noisy, chaotic track that's beloved by the fanbase. Not everyone wants Lana to be some polished pop princess; they just want to feel as though her songs are treated with the care they deserve.

I can't believe the thought "LFL is a better produced record than NFR!" even arose in someone's mind, let alone someone having the audacity to type said thought and post it on a public forum. Embarrassing.
