I think it could be Nectar Of The Gods!

There's a thread called LDR Album Process Discussion which explains the background of Tropico.
-
There's just something about her earlier vocals that get me every time. These new leaks from whatever the Tropico era is has really made me thirsty for that again! And I love all of her albums... But the way Born To Die into Paradise, her voice was such a rush, thrilling, it really captured this essence of being young, stupid and wildly in love. There's a naivete to her voice but there's so much passion and desire when she sings these songs. Then Ultraviolence into Honeymoon, her vocals really fuck me up. It's insane. The way she manages to sound hopeless yet hopeful at the same time. She sounds physically and emotionally exhausted, she knows it's the end of the relationship, she's tired and heartbroken to a point where vocally there seems to be some relief? Like a weight has been lifted. But then there's always a glimmer of hope, a bit of desperation to keep it going and to make it work. It's a complete rush but in a total different way to the Born To Die era. The Tropico era seemed very spiritual (and I know she described it that way back in 2013). But for real, there's such an ethereal feel to most of these songs, like they were never supposed to be heard anyways. And the stripped back production of this time is something I'd love to hear again from her. The guitar is insane and really works for her! And as much as I love the records that preceded this era and followed, it's nice to have a moment which feels intimate and almost like if Born To Die was the thrill and rush of a bad relationship, Ultraviolence and Honeymoon was the lows and aftermath; Tropico feels like the lying in bed alone whilst awake at 3am looking for answers? I've honestly never experienced the way I feel when listening to her music with any other artist, especially the first few records, it's like sour candy, you're drawn in by the sweetness and even though you know it's bitter you're still not ready for how bitter it can be? And you still crave more!

Hey! I ordered from Vinilo too, I had an email today to say my vinyl had been dispatched... But it was in my junk mail. Hope you get your vinyl soon! -

Also going off of this theory, the alt artwork CDs all have a close up of the album shot as the inlay. Except the store exclusive black and white cover, that has a close up of the nude shot as the inlay. Guessing she just swapped it last minute after not feeling comfortable? -

I don't think we're getting the nude album cover, I'm guessing the mock-up she shared was for a store exclusive vinyl. The store exclusive white vinyl is exactly the same as the nude mock-up... Obviously with a different album cover but she did say she wasn't keen on putting that one out. -

I think she came close to having an iconic album/era with Bangerz but then the promotion ground to a halt, she dropped the Adore You video and did the tour but after Wrecking Ball it kinda lost the GP... Same with Plastic Hearts, obviously she wasn't lighting up the charts but the interest from the GP was there again and the acclaim was back! Just felt like once Prisoner came and went without much impact, everyone involved abandoned ship?

Interested to see how the singles pan out this era, especially with her past record... But Flowers is the first single from AM and River from PM both being the first track from their respective act. Mike WiLL Made-It seems to be under the impression that Violet Chemistry will be a single so perhaps that and Jaded as final singles? Both bring the second tracks from each act. But honestly who knows, I'd love to see a proper singles run! Fingers crossed Columbia push for it. She could have an incredible mainstream singles collection from her past few records alone, never mind with the Disney era's too! Just an example of what could have been post-Disney:
