BlueJeans

I don’t hate the album covers at all ! Yay and the song will probably take a few spins to ring in my ears but the title and first verse is already quite evocative…

She's a very talented songwriter with catchy hooks and very good vocals. She even managed to write an honestly good Christmas song which is not very easy, imo (California Winter). I wish her the best, truly !

Been listening to this song the whole day !

Not sure she'll get invited to the Met with such fashion but it's the one that I find the best on her...

Social media has probably done her more harm than good in recent years (i'm talking about the backlash, not what she posted) so why not. The fact that the album is pushed to October 22 is more upsetting to me, to be frank ! But as someone wrote, at least it's coming...

I've had a overall good opinion of Billie Eilish's work (usually singles and a few album cuts here and there). The album has some material for the fans she attracted with her previous work but I'm very impressed by songs like Happier Than Ever, Billie Bossa Nova, Halley's Comet etc... She blends beautiful crooner-type melodies with her Billie touch and I have to say, I love it !

Great concept ! Not sure if I'll participate cause I'm bad at these kinds of things but I support you all and sincerely hope it will get to Lana...

The fact that this is so accurate... I actually had a hard time diving into NFR because of that (silly I know) but I basically semi-postponed it to the following summer. And I'm still discovering it, kinda.

I'm patiently waiting for "Happier Than Ever" (the song). I can't wait to listen to it in full, the snippet is so beautiful. Makes me think of the kind of songs crooners used to sing...

I saw this random interview of her on The View and the snippet they played sounded pretty cool, I need to make time to listen to her new stuff... Glad to see she's been able to evolve as an artist. I knew she was releasing projects here but it looks like she's on a creative roll. All the best to her !

(Almost) all of Lana’s albums are masterpieces in their own ways. Paradise is simply beautiful. No one writes songs like these….

I only recently understood the beauty of « California ». And all thanks to a Lisa Simpson meme with a caption like « when you start « California » again because the part that hurts didn’t hurt you bad enough » or something like that. Made me listen to the song for the first time in a long time and dang…

Oh I didn’t know David LaChapelle was the photographer, interesting !

I can be shy but I wouldn't necessarily define myself as such. However, I would be so afraid that I'm bothering her in a time where she wants to be alone that I'd probably remain petrified until she's out of sight...

Lana must KNOW what kind of comments her brother triggers. The fact she posts this kind of picture…… happy birthday to the gift that keeps on giving !

(We need to stand up more for this beautiful album closer ) (sorry that wasn't opinion per se)

The question of timing between the releases of her re-recorded albums if an interesting one, now that I read your thoughts. Do the songs get promo ? I know she posted some lyric videos etc... But I wonder if a casual listener like me (who has a generally favorable opinion of her music) would get the feeling of "That's too much TS!". I feel like the fact she's recording her discography made news but the actual releases have more hype within her fan community. I could be wrong, though, that's just my experience... Anyway, looking forward to the future releases. Red wasn't my favorite. I'll be more interested by 1989, I think.

Wait, how did we celebrate 1000 pages and already got to 1029 ! Y'all are too much, I don't have the patience to read all of that !

Those reimagined tracks are... Not the best The "Born This Way" one was ok, but yeah...

Didn't she already share that ?

Oh I didn't know she had a new song out ! I like it (first listen). I mean, is it what I would pick as a new single after a semi long hiatus, probably not. But it's cute, light, surely something I could listen to as I'm reading on the beach... The music video has a pretty color palette, as well. Two questions, though: - What is the symbolism behind her saying no to the golden horn ? - Why is she smoking fennel ?

Interesting topic. I wouldn't say she's a pop artist just because she reached success with her first album. "Born To Die" indeed has pop-viability, imo: the singles can all translate to pop radio quite well). Enya has a number one song and a few other hits, which granted her visibility on the charts and airplay on pop radio stations, but that wouldn't make her a pop artist, right?

Yes, Dua Lipa is a good example imo (but I'll give her the "new thing in pop music" factor). But I'm totally agree with you... I'm curious to see the Chromatica stage, she usually has some cool ideas for her live tours. *** Happy Birthday to Born This Way ! I remember everybody melting down about the standard edition's album cover, some thought it was a fake etc... The tracklist is a rollercoaster for me: I love: - Marry The Night (cool) - Born This Way (it illustrates the album's theme well) - Government Hooker (very unique) - Judas (catchy) - Americano (a grower for me but such a tune once it hit me) - Hair (touching) - Scheiße (yas) - Bloody Mary (mysterious and again quite unique) then comes the big chunk that I skip: it's so camp and cringy to me (but I get the fact that it fits the theme and what not, so I don't want to be too critical) - Black Jesus + Amen Fashion - Bad Kids - Fashion of His Love - Highway Unicorn (It worked the way she used it in the tour, I'll give her that) I can then breathe again with - Heavy Metal Lover (one of my fall time faves) - Electric Chapel (very cool) Quickly skip The Queen (it can go with the other songs like Bad Kids etc.) - And finish with: - You and I (aaaw I remember her singing this one live towards the end of the Monster Ball Tour... So exciting.) - The Edge of Glory (Not my fave but very nice and the theme is touching too) All in all, a good concept album with a diverse tracklist.

Yes that’s probably true. As for the promotion, I assume it’s tricky to really fully promote an album during this pandemic. Not that there weren’t big successes but it can’t be easy... perhaps she’s planning on picking things where she left off later ?
