What I wanna know is, wth was Lana's original concept for the video, thinking if the directors etc were presumably straight, why'd ya pass of the chance of directing a video of such a sensual song w the siren babe that is Lana. It all seems so easy conceptually like what was the vid gonna b about?

Isn't it "Mic check 1, 2, 1, 1, 2" or something? If that's what you mean? 
WHAT? Gimme mark, please.

let's just all pretend this era never started and is yet to start, let's pretend we're in the pre pre release era and she's dropping a lead single soon, petition to change the name to this thread to the pre-pre-release thread to go with the fantasy

with these instagram posts it feels like we aren't even in an era 
can her friends be useful and leak cinnamon for us? someone bribe them

Same. This is where we make a stand!!

I love that part <3 I hope she scrapped the tourlyfe verses tbh, they're boring & cringy as shit imo

lana hire @ as your manager challenge

I LOVE this picture. Regardless, I will be changing whatever album cover we end up with, with this. 

man i hate this. a summer release for an era that started at the end of the previous summer. 
 
dear lord.

Ben: so Lana your fans harassed me on instagram. I think it's about time we give them news. I told them that good music takes time, to pretend you were still working on shit, but you never told me you fucking updated them on a live chat back in January. They're going to know we're lying and that you're fooling around LA and that you're smoking weed again.
 
Lana: it's fine. I know just what to do to satisfy them.
 
Ben: Lana they just want news from you, I don't thin-
 
Lana: shut up. Let me do me. This will work
 
Lana:
 
Ben: ..... Interscope is gonna drop us....
 
Lana: hey, I don't pay you to talk. Go finger Dua again or something
 
Ben: ..... Yes master.....

*not really Yosemite, she called it that to troll us. It’s really just her laughing evilly for three and a half minutes

I’m okay with a few features but please God not Machine Gun Kelly....
She needs to just release the album before it gets overproduced and too polished

Lana's red hair defintely needs to make an iconic comeback. Like another user mentioned, the Freak premiere red hair was beautiful. Not too light, not too dark. It makes her appear younger too.
 
 
 

i thought her hair looked impeccable at the Freak premiere, but if we're talking about her weird floral dress on that one red carpet hair...no that aged her a good 5 years, didn't help she went off will the fillers at the same time
 
like you wouldn't think this was from 2016, you'd think it from 2012 or sumn
 


i meant STRIPED dress..her wavy let down hair was a look


 
it's probably the bangs that made her face much more round than it was, but I still despise this hair to the absolute max
 
plus her blonde stint was cute and gave us this glory
 

Nicole and Neil are always able to bring out the essence of the album and really complete the era. When I think about those particular eras their photos are what pop into my head first. 
Chuck, I think really did well with things Lizzy Grant related and smaller projects with Lana (Singles, Tropico, etc.) are okay, but when it comes to an album photoshoot I always feel like there's something missing.
When I look at the Lust for Life photoshoot, I'm really only reminded of it being bts of the Love video. Where as Paradise, does give off the essence of that era despite it being a bts of Blue Jeans. 
And I still feel like Lana should have gone full circle and brought Nicole back for the LFL photoshoot, considering it referencing the btd shoot. Plus she's able to incorporate other objects without the whole photo becoming clunky. 
 
Anyways! If Chuck is doing the album shoot, with the photos taken so far this era, I have some hope that it will turn out alright. The colors seem a bit more Earthy, which I can see fitting with the music. 

lana is in dire need of a glam squad i rlly don't want this era's visuals to be musty

like, "Born To Live" and "Witches Song" is obviously where comparisons could be made, but i can easily see Lana sliding into tracks like "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" & "No Moon In Paris"
 
it got me thinking, we've seen her inspirations when she's in NY, Southwest, LA, London
 
i'd love to hear a record if she were to spend time in Italy & France...if it'd be modern night-jazz or something more along the lines of 'Salvatore'. it could be heavily stylized n romantic, with an overarching nocturnal yes warm tone

She knows how mpatient we are to hear new stuff. With Jack involved, I guess that it’s a longer process (she said he comes to LA like 9 days a month), and she wanted to give us something before the release. Plus these two songs are very « end of summer », perfect for September. And even though we live in a super fast world, ironically, the music industry likes to have longer pre-release periods before the album, with 3-4-5 songs released before it (including singles and promo singles).

I actually kinda feel this too, I think it's an amazing song and one of my favourite singles from her in a while but like it's hard for me to just sit and listen to. It's amazing in the background and actually PERFECT for driving (which I guess is what Lana wanted) tho

Hate to say this but I've been listening to Venice Bitch more lately, it works in the background if you're concentrating on something else but otherwise I find myself thinking "is this over yet" and when I check it's like 3:20. Making a shorter edit for myself right now but god I'm so tired of that guitar riff already I probably won't do it lol
 
Edit: ok yeah that's it, i'm not doing this because i literally feel sick for some reason and this ain't helping 

I love how the lyrics in both the songs are so BTD-ish but the sound is completely different. I'm getting really hyped up for this album

The lyrics are so perfect. Like, every single word fits perfectly, i love what she created. I haven't been this hyped up for an album since UV i'm crying

I love how the lyrics in both the songs are so BTD-ish but the sound is completely different. I'm getting really hyped up for this album

I'm not gonna place this with her 'LDR' discography personally, i know it sounds a bit cheesy but it fits better looking at her Lizzy Grant section imho; of course her lifelong discography would be the two "lists" compiled together but I can't deny that the title, while bad sounding for a LDR record- is perfect for something we'd expect from her pre-BtD, pre-blowup, pre-pop altogether. Even the damn cover isn't her in glam with a headshot, like every other LDR record was; it's just her set to a slice of life setting that evokes emotion, much like her AKA cover
 
jus..idk hear me out n think about it
 
 
Sirens
Kill Kill
Lizzy Grant AKA Lana Del Ray
Norman Fucking Rockwell
 
---
 
Born to Die
Paradise
Ultraviolence
Honeymoon
Lust for Life
 
it also lowkey psyches me out seeing how complete of a story her LDR discography is, like it is a genuine study somebody could conduct and write tens of pages and essays on. The first ever opening instrumental to LDRs discog is from "Born to Die" with opulent violins and grandiose emotion; "Feet don't fail me now, take me to that finish line"
 
& with Get Free the first line is literally "Finally, I'm crossing the threshold from the ordinary world- to the reveal of my heart"- and ends  the semi-opulence we saw at the front of LfL and replaces it with ocean sounds- the exact opposite of the layered more modern production seen in BtD, something more down to Earth and grounded in realism and sanctity. even looking at the titles of the LDR records it tells a story, from the 3 words to the 1 and then finishing at the 3. 
 
While I hope to god she doesn't fade her glamorous persona for good I sincerely wouldn't be surprised if "Lana Del Rey" was over; or I'm being a casual fag and reading into things way too much and she'll go back to a LfL/Paradise sounds with more formulaic and boppier beats for LDR7 and completely shatter this theory
