  1. Just an FYI, this says "I am not not not an insider". Even if you leaked info there's probably no way we could decipher it with grammar like that.
  2. I've heard weirder . . . it's amazing. But amazing how the voices are so jarring with the words and a bit more satanic. The choir Bel Air sounds like you're moments from death.
  3. I can't tell if it's hot or cold in this photo. Shorts and a long sleeve sweater WHO IS SHE
  4. I am chronically out of touch with Tik Tok, so I will look forward to receiving updates here because not even this development makes me interested in the platform.
  5. I just did a quick check of Lana's works on the APRA AMCOS Database where she is credited as a PERFORMER. I also searched for GRANT E/ANTONOFF J as composers (which is how NFR is registered) - basically there are no new songs I can see that are registered already from a new album which to me feels like nothing much is coming soon . . . Also as a tidbit, in the database has the original trademarked names of the songs with some cute alternatives - for example, Dark Paradise has registered alternative titles as 'Year of Summer' and 'Paradise'; 24 is registered as 'Twenty-Four Hours', Love is 'Young and in Love' etc etc EDIT: Actually one song I didn't know about lol was 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas', but since it essentially shares the melody for "I'll Be Home for Christmas" it might just be because of her performance with Kasey . . . and even if it wasn't actually there is no way it would relate to this album (PROBABLY?)

    Sufjan Stevens

    So so soooo good. It's such an experience - catchy and beautiful, I am in awe how it moves between movements. I can't wait for the next album! Also, I just finished The Politician (lol...) but I NEVER skip the intro because of Chicago. I just love it too much!!
  7. actually the M is for Mmmmmmoney. It's true, I just can't reveal my source . . .
  8. The ALARM on her face in this one:https://imgur.com/gallery/a6TtByR "Is this the story of the little girl who lived down the lane? Is it?" You're thinking of this post from Ben - she posted it at the same time though:https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp435eHBsEy/?igshid=npsspkoc1uzh
  9. Omg everyone . . . I found the tracklist online . . . I can't reveal the source . . .But it's definitely real, spread it. 1. Chemtrails Over the Countryclub 2. Illustrated horizons 3. Light Fantastic 4. In Hollywood 5. Cruelly Tender 6. Nevermind 7. Tourmaline 8. Club Silencio 9. With One Glance 10. Dreaming for Someone (Who was dreaming for Me) 11. Hey, That's No Way To Say a Goodbye. It's true. Spread it. Here's an excerpt: Up and out, you passed silent and sure, guided by gilded pride. My books splayed open, broken glass glimmers, we were crazy to think it would work. I'm dreaming. What drew me to you? I'm dreaming. All I knew, was I was dreaming for someone who was dreaming for me. Wow, so powerful. You can tell how real it is. Omg.
  10. I can't get over Mark Ronson produced a TLY demo. An album with him would be incredible.
  11. omg if I could love this comment - I thought that would be so obscure in this fandom.
  12. Not to nitpick, but I've done three professional shoots in the past month. A simple, nice portrait would not be hard, but I do expect it will be a phoned-in selfie shoot. Also considering travel restrictions, it'll be whoever is around (Chuck).
  13. Bahaha even when you're defending Chuck's work, you're still benchmarking it below Born to Die. And with that consideration, why would anyone want Chuck's work when we know how good the artwork could be with anyone else . . ?
  14. Why is the official Shades of Cool audio on Lana's channel pitched and sped up . . .
  15. I liked her latest posts. But I really really really really really hope that it's left at that. Go back to your radio silence Lana please!!! Also lol at her gaining over 100k followers during all this
  16. This isn't a revelation this guy just had - people already thought that before.
  17. I don't think we need to worry about her career. There are so many racist people in America - they probably love her even more now. In all seriousness, if/when her new album is released there's only going to be a minor murmur from this point of time from people who were following (Lana stans and Twitter). Almost everyone agrees she is well intentioned, but terribly and ignorantly executed - I think even the biggest critics here on Lanaboards would agree she didn't intend to cause harm (regardless of the aftermath) and anyone that thinks she is being malicious is delusional. My point is that people still listen to horrible people who have done and said far worse things, and Lana's music will continue to be listened to. If you can't quit her music but hate her now, it's time to separate the artist from the art. She was never part of the mainstream, so this isn't going to really push her out of anything . . . I expect much later down the track she will do a number of interviews on this and will have the help of a writer to properly articulate her rationale and, hopefully, an apology and an acknowledgement of her mistake about positionality. It might seem like I'm dismissing this, but if you're basing it on the reactions of Lanaboards and Twitter uhhhhh they are really not indicative of the real world, and the average person will not care. If you look at her Facebook, which is an entirely different demographic, most of the top posts are people affirming her speaking out.
  18. She needs to disable social media for a while. take it doen.
  19. @@sexyslutboy - absolutely! For Harriet's video is fabulous. I'm linking it here for everyone else to check out. A great quote from this is "You don't have to try to do harm, to do harm." I'm unsure how many of the comments on the previous page are taking about my post, but I would like to clarify: Anyone is entitled to be offended by Lana's statement, because despite her good intentions, it was a clumsy and misguided statement. I do however find it dangerous to imply or attribute statements to people who didn't actually say them, and while implications are associated with the original post, to me there is no sentiment where she implied black women in music didn't have the capacity to be sensitive. Just a bunch of other problematic things.
  20. SZA (whoever she is idk? sorry) is reaching. Of things to be offended by, she is picking a weird non-existent sentiment that wasn't even implied. You really can twist a statement to mean anything these days I suppose, as long as there is enough public outcry about something else. ETA: What is this LUNACY??????????? This is really dangerous logic. Someone having an opinion on something does not automatically mean they assume the absolute binary on other opinions. For example, if someone thinks women are strong, it does not mean they think men are weak. Saying artists can be overt and sexualised, does not mean that they cannot be feminine. Aggressively reading between the lines and finding a lens to be offended through is absolutely counterproductive to any intelligent conversation or argument because it means that you can disagree with everything for the sake of it without base. It's the logic of flat-earthers who have no scientific evidence to stand on but the rebuttal is 'well we don't know for sure!'. Lana's clumsy first and subsequent tirades do not imply at all that black women are not "GENTLE soft ethereal beings", she is addressing that she feels resentment that she can't explore the same (whether or not that is true is absolutely up for debate, as we have seen). Consider what you can extrapolate from this statement: I like the music of Lana del Rey, and London Grammar. I don't like music from Beyonce, I think it's too poppy. Based on what isn't said here and the 'implied suggestion' argument, here are the things you could say: I only like music from white people I don't like music from black people I only like female singers I hate male singers I only like alternative music I hate pop music I don't like Australian music I'm homophobic as I don't listen to any queer identifying artists On and on, when I'm just saying some artists I like, and I don't really like Beyoncé. There are merits to the arguments that the name-dropping of black artists is unfortunate, but purposefully creating reasons to be offended by looking at words that are unsaid is extremely counterproductive, and just give the concession that people are entitled to be offended at everything based on nothing.
  21. Maybe Marina just unfollowed her because - like all of us - she is bored of the constant vague content that has nothing to do with the music Lana puts out? I unfollowed her in 2018 because I was bored of her insta life and frustrated with her lack of music. Maybe Rob liked the 'I don't know shit' story from Chuck because he wants people to leave his daughter alone.
