Ummm this is how 2 disappear i guess

To be honest, I think the last thing her absence did was make anyone's heart grow fonder. Her little cult followers would be just as rabid if she put out a new song every single day, they don't need to miss her to go crazy over everything she does. Her more casual fans probably forgot she even exists. And the rest of us (most of us) are frustrated and disappointed. The overall sentiment seems to be "just give us the damn thing already", and that's not positive in any way.... Lana and her management killed so much of the genuine excitement for this album with how they've handled things. I'm sure we're still going to love the music, but I feel like this whole thing has been ruined for me. And I know many other fans feel this way too

Her « distance » and mystery on social media, with times of absence, kinda helped build her image as an unusual singer, out of the box. She loves that we are filling the blanks with what she gives us and it has helped solidate her fan base.
But! Like I said, when SHE starts a pre-release era, it’s her job to come through sooner than what we have here. And I say that very painfully and with much regrets since I love her with all my heart. I love her art so much, but a crash course 101 on how to promote an album could be a good idea lol.

This is why I deleted my second Instagram account after a second of having it (I think that’s when the stuff with Ben happened), because I kept on seeing more and more fan accounts I follow get backlash for not even venting, but just simply asking, “where’s Lana? we thought the album was done.” It really isn’t too much to ask and it’s common sense for people to be a bit upset that the artist they’re a fan of is all of a sudden MIA when at the very least- they’re usually consistent in showing how enthusiastic they are for the release. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say this is the worst era in terms of promotion. At this point idc if Lana announces something at the end of this month. The bs with her manager and miscommunication through vague updates killed the hype for me.

Superstar is great. Yeah, the lyrics aren’t as complex as her previous work, but I don’t mind it. I love both the production of HH and this one. I can tell it’s going to turn off a lot of people, but it’s been 4 years and I get with the headspace she’s in, she wants to go in a more light-hearted direction. Anyway, I’m here for it.

I remember really early on in 2011/12 Lana herself said she had bad taste in fashion and that 'all her friends and her sister' laughed so much that she was getting called a fashion icon. I'm sure it was a magazine article? I think she's super visual and when she has a 'phase' and a good team it gets directed and channeled into her style. Her style back then matched the sound of BTD and Paradise, which was super polished. And at the moment her music isn't polished like that anymore. Like the Lizzy Grant era stuff matched her sound then and some of that is gorgeous and some of it is fucking bizarre lol.

it shouldn't go anywhere near her pretty face imo, she looks so beautiful without that shit

Didn't Chuck say Lana always had bad taste in fashion?

I refuse to accept the idea that you have to look frumpy to sing alternative music or to be taken seriously as a female artist.

We've beaten this topic to death, so I'm just going to honor some of my favorite Lana live looks.
 
 
 

we appreciate power video will eventually be released or it's totally dead?

FROOT gave us Blue and Froot so we stan!

I like to criticize Froot a lot bc it defo has flaws but like overall it’s a rly good album and Froot (the song) is probably in my top 3 Marina songs. It’s just that bitch. She did that

I'll be an Electra Heart stan till the day I die, but Froot gave us some absolute classics – my favourites would have to be Happy, I'm A Ruin, and Immortal. It's so hard to believe it's been four years already! 

It's been 4 years since Marina's best record to the year, her masterpiece, her best creation, her statement 'FROOT' was released!   
 
To be honest, we all should be grateful to Marina for giving us such a gift that we didn't deserve. Literally a blessing.   Marina did not have to snap like this.   Stream FROOT: https://open.spotify.com/album/3TGFADcugVPngfF7dtiqqY

Four years of FROOT today. I remember I was going into town the day it leaked, and I was listening to the singles thinking, "You know, I don't need this to leak, I can wait until April." And then on the ride back home a few hours later I was listening to the full album leak lmao. What a messy release, but it seems somehow fitting. Definitely my favorite Marina album.

GBA - simply by the subject matter alone - is an anthem and a turning point in Lana's career. Remember when Lana was quoted saying some shit like "I'm not a feminist, I don't understand why we need feminism"? Yeah GBA overturned ALL of that
