Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread
poetic jess replied to Elle's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
Omg yes @ the ranking! I’m hoping the music video is on the same level as her best too. Still laughing at the fact that she disregarded MAC’s and VB’s videos as the first. Lmao 3 singles and 11 months later, we’re finally getting some good visuals for this album. -

It’s faint but more prevalent in the chorus. Then there’s Freak, Art Deco- it’s the same slow beat. -

See, this is why I don’t bother mentioning Honeymoon. All I know is ~ in my opinion ~ NFR is gonna surpass it. -

See, that’s a perfect example of the problem I have with the production on Honeymoon. TBD sounds beautiful in the beginning and it has elements of other songs (like Art Deco) that make it sound consistent, but then those trap beats kick in and it feels like a demo when I hear the instrumentation alone. Rick has produced some great songs for her, but on other tracks on Honeymoon and LFL (on Honeymoon especially) I’ve always felt there was something lacking. -

I will never understand the hype around Honeymoon’s production. -

I love it- probably my favorite cover because of the production and her vocals. -

I’m going to listen to it all the way through and in the correct order. I think it flows well and listening to Hope randomly this week, I decided it’s a good closer. You really appreciate the subject matter more when you hear it with the other songs. I feel like Hope is Get Free’s slightly cynical sister, but she’s more realistic in her positive outlook in life. Don’t know if that makes sense... lol -

Same here again! I know most of you loved the “In Your Car” snippet but it never did anything for me. Listening to the full song, I kept checking the time duration to see how much was left. -

The structure and the way she sings in this song reminds me a little bit of Regina Spector~ -

Probably my favorite. Brought me back to 2014. -

WTH why were they banned? I loved @movebaby’s posts! I swear, I’ve read worse things posted by other members and they got a slap on the wrist. What did they do to get banned? Btw, I completely understand where you’re coming from @LanaFlowers. What makes it extremely bittersweet in my case though is the music quality has won me over to get the album. It truly makes sad that this album gave me what I wanted for LFL = a different producer to push and inspire her, a cohesive tracklist, an album cover matching what I had envisioned when I listened to the songs, the playful and interesting vocals to come back from previous albums... And all that has become background noise to the unprofessionalism from her team and her lack of enthusiasm for this project. Yes, she made a double music video, but what happened to the “video projects” that were done with Chuck? And those videos have been delayed too. Did we forget the recycled footage with MAC and VB? The conflicting information? The recent autograph card they’re selling for this album (it’s sketchy, let’s be honest)? Even Jack wasn’t up to date with changes being made. It really crushes my mood thinking of all that, but alas... I just want the damn album in HQ and be done with it. -

I mean how young are we talking about here? I’ve been aware of drug addiction since I was a preteen since it was present in my family. People are talking about addiction more now because it shouldn’t be taboo to talk about these issues. People have their personal issues, and mental health is usually tied to it. We should build a conversation around it, be empathetic, understanding and help when it comes to sobriety for people who suffer from it, no? I mean if whoever’s reading these posts are too young to understand it they shouldn’t be listening to Lana’s music in the first place. lol -

e****** said the music video was probably delayed, so maybe the two songs + music video will be released next week... IF she still intends on releasing them as “promotional” singles, but that’s cutting it really close... I’ll just wait for the album. At this point they’ll probably release the music video after the album’s released. -

Why does this always happen when I’m busy or asleep lmao -

poetic jess replied to Elle's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
She’s not involved? I thought she was working on one of them since she also collaborated on the NFR trailer and she was posting on IG that she was filming. I have low expectations that that’s for a different NFR song at this point. -

At what point will someone on her team grab the reigns from her? Obviously, Lana’s not good at promotion. Also- why does almost every project she works on with Chuck- who is directing it or Lana has her acting in it, the visuals turn out to be delayed (TG/FIILY), partially released (MAC/VB/UV/MTWBT/Freak) or never released (HIAB/Cherry + that one behind the scenes photo they posted on IG)? Edit: with the exception of Tropico~ I think Chuck had a small cameo in it. -

I would love to see this. 20 days doesn’t sound a long time for this woman. I mean she sat on the visuals for UV for a year and used it for Freak, I think she’s not the impatient type to work with him. Guillermo is so humble. lol -

They’ve already tried dragging other celebrities who they ended up not being on good terms with, but they’re getting more backlash for it because people are starting to see through them and Kim and her sisters were in the wrong. They could try, but it’ll probably be thrown back at them- like even though I’m not a fan of TS, this could be a taste of karma for Kayne name-dropping Taylor and putting a naked wax-figure of her in his creepy music video. So neither Kim or Kanye can say shit, really. -
Honeymoon - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll
poetic jess replied to annedauphine's topic in Post-Release Threads
Honeymoon deserved an intimate venue type of tour where she didn’t have to “perform” on stage and just be creative with her vocals by herself. Like the way she performed Terrence Loves You, she takes a seat, belts and gets into it during that song. The stage set could’ve had the same color theme as the Endless Summer Tour, but smaller, indoors, and would make the audience feel like they’re in a jazz club. Ugh... what could’ve been... -

The vocal layering reminds me of her old acapella demos. I’m here for it! -

If the autograph is on a separate piece of paper doesn’t that mean that their plan is to have her sign on a few, scan those, then make thousands of it to the people that purchased it? ._. No bueno. -

Ultraviolence vibes? The pics reminded me of her image during the Paradise era, just with lighter hair.
