bored

I wasn't being ungrateful or entitled. I'm just not sure what the labels plan is... Like 1999 has died in the UK (yes radio still play it, but not as much as they did and it's peaked on the charts). I don't think the next single will be as successful and therefore it seems bizarre to wait. They released the lead single 3 months ago and now show no intention of following it up until later in the year. I appreciate she did the monthly drops and the mixtapes etc. and she wanted to give us as much music as possible, but the GP will have forgotten about her and 1999 (again) by the time this campaign begins. I understand she's in the early stages of the album, but surely they have something (CTMP and it's music video); a song they could push as a single or promo track just so wider audiences stay interested. Personally I don't want 1999 (or CTMP) to be on the album, that's not the sound I wanted from her but it's her biggest hit since 2015 so it'll be on the album and I imagine that the pure pop sound is what she's going for. Just to clarify I'm not asking or expecting or demanding her to give us a 2017 / 2018 release schedule. I just want an album campaign and I want her to succeed. I guess having an opinion is rude or bitchy lol.

Like I think it's not that her fanbase is huge, I think it's that she has a very sensible team - like there were so many editions and formats of LFL, as well as all the signed bundles and merch bundles that included copies of the album. I think that's what made it go #1.

I mean the 100 different formats and signed CDs, LPs and Lithos pretty much saved her.

There aren't many good recordings of the performance but the live audio is on YT

I kind of agree and disagree aha. I do believe that NFR will be more than 11 songs and that she wrapped the record up in December. Obviously now we know the album is completely finished. However, I think those country songs she did for fun could've been the beginning of the next record and I'm already excited that she's most likely writing the next album. I know people talked about her taking a break but she seems revived. LFL was full circle from BTD and felt like closure almost and NFR feels like a new beginning.

Make that image the back cover of the 10" coloured vinyl

Ugh imagine if she'd always done this... I needed that Hollywood / Angels Forever, Forever Angels double single in 2013 (I'd still take it now tbh)

This should be the Yosemite single cover.

For real though... it's from BTD era surely? I'd like it to be either textless or to bring back the font used on everything pre-LFL. That revived Video Games logo was cool, but I don't wanna see it again.

Ugh what are they doing? Where is the second single? They better not wait until late 2019 to start the campaign and drop the album and be shocked when it flops even harder than it would've off the back of 1999.

Yeah suppose, just was worried in case you meant LFL hip-hop aha

I don't think we'll get hip-hop as such, but it's definitely not all acoustic or ballads, Cinnamon, HIAB and the in your car snippet all song like there's more from the production to be revealed.

Is she wearing a Ferrari jacket in this interview too?

"Yosemite and BAR folk singles coming summer 2017" vibes

From the 3 songs we've heard so far... I think there'll be more heavy production on the other album tracks

Also HBB might still make the cut, at the Apple event when fans were screaming for her to release it and put it on the album she was like "maybe" and "do you think it would work?"

In all honesty Lana needs to drop more stand alone singles. She legit has a single cover for Yosemite, just drop it on streaming. (and BAR) Same as the country songs... give me the double a-side HBB/IMBSSFBSH

I believe that if the label were taking control then we would have had more interviews, more polished visuals, different single artwork etc. She's probably in control with this record because Gucci will be making her some big money alongside the album release. Why Cinnamon, it will be on the album. It's the song she's teased most alongside HIAB.

I imagine she's either shot it (the new one) or is about to, if the album is coming in March, I imagine the preorder will be in February... meaning she'll need an album cover in time to print CDs and LPs etc.

But didn't she say she doesn't like deluxe editions and it was basically the label. I remember her saying around the Honeymoon era that she wanted fans to have all the songs on one edition of the album and she hasn't done bonus tracks since... I do believe we'll get special editions, like UO alternate cover or colour, Target CD with poster or something but I don't see bonus tracks happening.

I believe we'll get 13 - 14 songs on the album. No way is she doing a deluxe edition, unless it comes with a poster or something. When recording Honeymoon she said she had 9 songs finished and wanted a couple more to tie up the record, she then added 5 more songs to the album.

I think we always knew that HIADFAWLMTH was a promotional single (like Coachella), I'm still sceptical about MAC and VB not being official singles, especially when she said that she wanted VB to be the lead. But I guess we'll see if a lead single does emerge. Yeah but Lana being Lana, we don't know whether she meant it was the final song recorded for the album or the latest song they'd recorded.

Some things I think people should know... MAC, VB and HIADTFAWLMTH will be on the album The album will have more than 11 songs Cinnamon isn't scrapped HIAB is not the same song as NFR The supposed leaked album cover on Amazon is not official The album will be released before April

She had 11 songs finished in September last year, it's likely to be more songs now. I imagine there'll be another 10 songs we haven't heard in full.

But Hope... is Sylvia Plath. And when she first teased Sylvia Plath she said "SYLVIA PLATH from NORMAN FUCKIN ROCKWELL"
