All I want to hear in this life is a country version of Betty Boop Boop.

When it comes to new album releases, this is my usual process:
I listen to whatever singles or snippets Lana herself puts out I don't listen to the snippets posted on iTunes/music stores I don't listen to leaks I don't listen to new songs Lana's performed until the song is actually released (such as Cherry) I wait until the album is available in my region on Spotify Once the album comes out, I listen to it the entire way through, including the previously released singles, and in the intended tracklist order. Also, if anyone disturbs me while doing this, they lose limbs.

Could everyone posting or quoting the poems use the spoiler tag? I'd rather wait until the full audiobook is available...

Here it is

This is off topic but it just made me imagine how funny it would be if she ever released an album of unreleased but they were all reworked as country songs lol.

POTENTIAL THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO:
All speculative!
 
First week of August
- Album cover and tracklist revealed, potentially on August 4th
- Pre-order for digital and physical formats available, limited edition vinyl/cassettes revealed, potentially on August 5th 
- Maybe a single or two released with pre-order
 (could be "White Hot Forever" and "Tulsa Jesus Freak" as two separate songs like MAC and VB
  or one song titled "Tulsa Jesus Freak: White Hot Forever")
- Album trailer released with pre-order (could include footage from Lana's video shoot from December 16, 2019)
 
Second week of August
- Music video(s) for single(s) that came out the week before
- Heightened instagram activity - more selfies, behind the scenes videos taken on set, etc. 
- Urban Outfitters exclusive vinyl revealed
 
Third week of August 
- Maybe a magazine cover with pictures done by Chuck and an interview conducted over the phone
(although I have a strong feeling we won't have any editorial or print interviews this time around)
 
Fourth week of August 
- Maybe a promo single released before the album, as she tends to do this
- Accompanying music video for promo single (could have been shot in early July as Lana briefly had lash extensions and blue acrylics that are now gone - maybe it was for a video/album cover photoshoot?)
- Radio interviews
 
 
First week of September
- Radio interviews
- Maybe more magazine covers (likely a Billboard Issue the week/week before the album is released, as she has been featured on the cover for every era since Honeymoon)
- Album released!
- Instagram live session for Q&A about the album or live session of title track/ a single with Jack if he happens to be in LA or if Conway Recording Studios is open

I would looove Serene Queen to get an official release but frankly I don't think Jack is the best person to produce it, so I hope it comes out at another time (or manages to retain the original spirit of production like BAR did). The track is a little more malicious pop than sweet indie (which Jack is great at).

My delulu ass hopes for Serene Queen

Anyone else stupid like me and has a small bit if hope that she's gonna put Roses Bloom for You on the album?

my biggest enemy is leaks, pop a 911

To find the time remaining on Audible, you have to pre-order the audiobook, then go into your Library and into your Pre-Orders, and then Order Details.

I'm fine with just piano ballads, not everything has to be a "bop" all the time. That said, I'm sure there'll be one or two upbeat tracks (well, upbeat by Lana standards).
 
I'd love the album cover to be Lana looking rich af (I'm thinking the National Anthem aesthetic), sitting in a golf cart in front of a fancy ass country club like the one from High School Musical 2. I want there to be vibrant greens and blues.

I'm praying (for Lana's sake) that the album won't leak early.
 
I know it always leaks a few days beforehand, usually from someone in retail getting their hands on the CD, and that's unavoidable.
 
But I hope it doesn't leak in like, August. I feel like with COVID and lockdown, the files might have been passed around more, with people working remotely? 
 
I think Lana would be disappointed if something was to leak, it's happened to her too many times...

Hot take, but honestly, I'd be fine with a NFR-style album with country touches (I'm thinking of songs like Pretty Baby and Raise Me Up). 
 
I think Lana has the talent and vocal style to pull it off.
 
That said, I randomly thought last night how funny it would be to have a weird ass song like Hey You or Playing Dangerous as a lead single lmao.

The thirsty side of me hopes that there'll be another handsome man on the Chemtrails cover ... I enjoyed Duke Nicholson on the cover of NFR

According to this reddit thread on another audiobook release on Audible, it seems as though midnight PST is the usual release time, regardless of region: https://www.reddit.com/r/audible/comments/9eu7wp/what_time_do_preordered_new_releases_become/
