    Instead of manifesting Lana working with the most uncool and washed-up producers in the industry that only pop stars who are way behind on the trends work with (Aaron Dessner & Kevin Parker), we need to manifest the following:

     

    1. An album that feels like a cohesive statement and not a random playlist
    2. An album where she gets weird and experimental all the way trough and not just on two or three songs before she chickens out and starts playing it safe.

    EW WTF :whoopi: Although, I love Lana, I definitely I do not love her fandom in the social media like Twitter or TikTok, especially the younger generation of fans, they're toxic as fuck!

     

    Just search for it on twitter, I'm not lying. And I'm not against unreleased collection, but I would save it for the latter in her career. She doesn't need it atm.

    I mean, she doesn't have to do anything but but just look at her current daily streaming numbers. Summertime Sadness, Y&B, SYTH and West Coast all currently get more daily streams than Let The Light In. Even Diet Mountain Dew gets more daily streams than Margaret does. BTD is undeniably her most commercially successful album. I don't think she'll ever go back to her old sound, but acting like she wouldn't make bank if she did is equally delusional. I think a good compromise would be her just releasing an album of some of her older unreleased songs, which she's been claiming she's going to do for years anyways. Fans get their bops and Lana doesn't have to sacrifice or change her current artistic sensibilities in any way or force herself to record a pop album when she clearly doesn't feel like it. 

     

    You having to resort to listing the biggest classics and viral hits to downplay Let The Light In and Margaret's success only proves my point. And she has more than enough money in her bank and her legacy is already cemented. She doesn't have to compromise at all. And her ''fans'' keep demonstrating why it's not worth it. Just last night, I saw a viral tweet of Lana fan telling her to get on Ozempic. She has one of the worst fan bases in the industry.

    I see we have already reached the point in the pre-release thread where ''the fans'', who are in deep denial (agony) about the direction of Lana's career, come out of hiding and start going through a delusional episodes (usually about Lana making a ''pop'' album). Completely ignoring what Lana has said just a  few weeks ago (that the new album is gonna be in the Americana vein) or what her closest person/producer (Jack Antonoff!) has said ( fuck pop and trends... ''There's really no place to go but out into the fucking wilderness, artistically''). Also ignoring the fact that Ocean is a quite successful album and that the biggest drivers of its success are two songs which fall into the ''new Lana'' camp; Let The Light In (NFR style ballad, just more countrified) and Margaret (piano pop ballad).

     

    So this narrative that she has to ''revert back'' to old style or go pop and console her nostalgic fans is simply hilarious and has no grounds in reality. But if convincing themselves that she'll wake up in 2024 and call Max Martin and A$ap Rocky and make a pop-trap album helps them sleep easier at night...sure, why not.

    My post was obviously a joke, though not too far away from the truth. Lana is starting to reach the point (10 albums deep) in her career where making a typically good Lana album will no longer be enough for her to remain at the center of conversation (in contention for AOTY). She will have to come up with exceptionally good albums that are unlike anything she's done before or have strong narrative. Otherwise, she'll be relegated to the bottom of the lists with other veterans while the media machine rallies behind younger artists.

    This is why we can't take critics seriously when she releases an album. 3/5 reviews only to hit #1 out of hundreds of albums in the same critics' Best of 2023 lists. They're aware of her brilliance, but they never give Lana her flowers immediately. Pure fucking comedy.

     

    Usually it's the opinion of the one person assigned to that album review. Year-end lists are voted for by the whole staff and contributors.

    “I’m tired now,” Del Rey admits. “So keeping it simple is probably the way that it’s going to go. I dug around a lot writing this [album] and don’t think I have to go there again.” As such, she has plans to write an album of standards — classic, simple songs that could reach even more people than she does now.

     

    Tbh call me delusional but I don't necessarily think "keeping it simple" has to mean the country/covers schtick, the interviewer is kind of paraphrasing her at that point, right? The last tracks of Ocean Blvd already kind of showed this transition out of some of the heaviest work of her career into lyrically much simpler / lighter songs with more experimental modern production - I don't think it's out of the question for her to go more in that direction next either 

     

    This is what she said back in September. I very much doubt she's going to make a shitty contemporary country music. She said Americana for a reason.

    The music took a huge turn from Norman, and it’s been going down that path aggressively. I’m going to continue going where I feel the only next stop is, but I think it’ll be in an Americana vein.

    Or she can take a well deserved break and disappear for a while after being very active these past few years.That way, she doesn't overexpose herself and she can build anticipation for her next album to be a huge moment.

     

    Also, it's almost 2024; nobody's trying to hear Lana singing ''You know you like little girls''.

    i keep seeing "country album" but with lana i can't imagine her doing the traditional country, can someone please elaborate on what type of "country" we're talking about? unless we're referring to a chemtrails 2.0?

     

    Alt-Country/Americana.

    I don’t want any more half baked wink wink nudge nudge middle finger up tongue out synth trap Taylor-lite Jack beats… it worked for A&W but no more please. I don’t like “lowkey” bops. I want raw emotion and fire. I can’t lie, I want some grit back. Obviously most of us always ask for a UV type sound but after 3 very paired down energy kind of albums, I want something more assertive sounding.
