Dark Angel

this is a hot take, but i'm actually not that worried about the album not coming on july 4th, it'd be ideal, we know by now that she isn't the reliable and things change, the album could've been delayed for a variety of reasons, maybe the fact that she scrapped a lot of the original album for newer tracks is a part of it, maybe her original vision for the album just wasn't vibing with her, considering that she's been working with mike dean quite a bit, maybe she's going for something more bombtastic, which would make sense considering what she said about jack in that interview, about how she wanted more out of his production, and also with mike liking the tweet about adding more electric guitars, it's possible they're still working on some stuff and adding more... fire let's still optimistic about this, we'll have this album soon enough and i'm sure it'll be great

sirens is one of my favorite lana del rey albums

wow this thread tanked

my birthday isn't until september but thank you!

maybe she'll send a barbie cake with hibiscus flowers made out of frosting for my birthday...

he said that july 4th is possible, and he said that july 4th might not happen so nothing new...

i need that folk covers album

black beauty vs. not all who wander are lost

lana del rey invented music

is it true that a few people have dealer? wasn't it considered for cotcc at some point?

you know it's cold outside when you go outside and it's cold

well he never flat-out said it's on the album, but he tweeted some lyrics with a smiley emoji and a little bit after he said something like "okay, you win this time, just don't expect anything just because i tweet some lyrics" and we think that "you win this time" confirms that thunder is on the album

omg her horror halloween-esque album is coming

i'd rather not

if the insiders don't feel like sharing any info, they could leak some songs california demo? garden of eden? unidentified flying bill? some random outtake from 2016? anything?

well, knowing her, it'll probably be a tribute or a celebration of the national holiday and her iconic & divisive americana aesthetic her "oh say can you see" 2.0 is coming! i'm here for it

lana del rey releasing her revenge album on the fourth of july would be extremely iconic and everything lana del rey does is extremely iconic, see how it's adding up?

OMG THE PREORDER IS COMING TONIGHT

at this point i don't think that'll happen, she's been writing/recording music since she was in her late teens and she's in her late thirties now, yet she hasn't given up her artistic integrity for anybody, she followed up her most successful and mainstream sounding album with a dark, droning alternative album with synth & psychedelic rock influence, very different from her first album which was very "hollywood sadcore" yet had bops and a very alt. pop sound, her very first album was acoustic/folk and she's never let that go, she's always stayed true

i think some people forget that her debut single (and the song that brought her to the mainstream) was video games, a slow, almost dreamy ballad mostly comprised of piano & strings, some of the material from cotcc had more life & energy, yet video games was very popular and it's one of most well-known songs, people may not have any interest in slow acoustic songs, but that doesn't mean she should stop making the kind of music she loves because people may not care about it, she's aiming for more than mainstream tiktok hits, which i think is great, and i do believe her music will stand the test of time

why is it a big deal if she doesn't have the best streaming/sales? that shouldn't matter at all, if you care about streaming/sales you should stan ariana/dua/taylor instead, lana's music will never be that popular, she's making music that's impactful and isn't suited for everybody and i prefer it that way, if she wants her album filled with mellow, "slow-burn" songs that are heavy & meaningful in their subject matter, i think she should do that, she's always made music that was like that, whether or not people pay attention is not her responsibility, i don't see why it matters if she doesn't have a lot of great promo or if she doesn't have the best sales, all that should matter at the end of the day is the music

it's like all of the tiktok stans acting like the lizzy grant era was a horrible time of her life and everything terrible happened during that time, like, she's always been fond of that time of her life and she literally acknowledged her trailer park interview for white dress? it's really weird that they're speculating that her life was absolutely terrible when they don't even know her, and they act like living in a trailer park was the absolutely worst thing and that she was surrounded by poverty, drugs, prostitution, and mental illness, it's ignorant

lana del rey is beautiful

we're gonna roll like thunder right into the post-release thread the night of july 3rd! very exciting!
