I had a similar experience few days ago, falling asleep on VB's psychedelia, praising Lana in my head while I was dreaming, then I woke up to no news, hating this era again.

i was in the car, in the car yesterday going back home and the sky looked like this and i was listening to venice bitch and... an experience.
 
also i was in a 1-hour bus ride listening to venice bitch and it was so fast through the freeway and wow. it was meant to be heard that way. i fell asleep at like the 4 min mark but i still could hear all the psychedelia.

Tbh that record won't peak number one, there's no way thats happening. She has singlehandedly killed any hype. boom it's gone.

Alright, so maybe we can make this a team effort? 

I was wiki'ing her album sales, and aside from UV, her numbers in physical sales, first day/week all have been pretty stable enough, peaking at UV at 182k. Then, they reverted back around to 100k-ish w HM, and same w LFL. 

She had a lot of promo slated for LFL, but the timeline was tampered w and had to be released. Coachella and so on, minor edits yada yada, we get the good Twilight Zone/Carpenters -esque sis on 7/21. Great. 

Timeline, got news nearly half a year ago, or more? About some end of summer jams, attributed to this new coming record, that was supposedly finished, as told by herself, on Dec 30th via livestream. No one confirmed on 3/29, 'cept articles.

(Snippet teases so on promises vague promises. )

Buku was the last performance we'd ever gotten, aside from the coalition perf. 
Good vibes encapsulated from that 12/30 livestream. 

HOPE is released quietly via insta link. What are the sale numbers? *someone insert answer here: ___________. Also: VB: ________. Nd MAC: ________ . 

Daytona tweets.
Day passes, insta betrayal via baddies w/o much to do. Lamentations. Here we r. 

I know that some1 here called interscope, be a brave one and claim ur bragging rights: ___________. Informing us that the record was being delayed due to minor changes, coming from her side of management. 

Last echo of an update we got is of an unknown track snippet via insta a few days ago. 

I really wanna get into their heads, interscope. Bc first off people lie, no doubt about that so. Who called them. and what was truly said? Why would they. 

Interscope motives:
- money. -> no. 1 -> album rollout -> tryna be smart w their release sched calendar view. 
2019 Calendar releases:

If Lana's keeping the record it could b:
- So personal. 
- She secretly wants that number 1 for her gay bb. 
- adding schtuff but doesn't want us to know squat, bc she has learned a lot from LFL and that messy YAIL leak, Lust For Lisa etc etc.
(If she is, why? What could she have possibly added to the record that had to b on there past 12/30?)
Things Lana has been up to:
- Bein a baddie, hangin w friends 
- Hillsong 


Let's get detecting heaux 

I had such high hopes for this album back in September when she released MAC and VB - it was gonna be fresh, authentic, cohesive and beautiful. 
 
How seven months passed and devolved NFR into this mess will always spook me. 

I wouldn't feel bad because she'd lose money. I'd feel bad for her feelings. This album must be super close to her if she holds it back like that. But I have to admit, I wouldn't feel ashamed to take a listen.

lana be cool again challenge

if the album leaked today i'd still feel bad because as an artist i don't like the thought of going through creating something and then someone else taking my thunder and giving it away when a) it could be my livelihood b) i am the one who worked on it and it is mine and c) i was planning on doing what i planned on doing with it... if i made something and planned a big release of info, let me have that. if i made something and wanted little to no release or hype around it for promo, let me have that. and if i wanted to make something for myself with no intention of sharing it, LET ME HAVE THAT byeee

that gif is me having an imaginary argument with lana because she’s driven me that far into insanity tbh

The lack of news by this point is honestly abuse
 

lana post the album cover track list and single announcement challenge

I’d feel bad bc I know Lana feels like it’s intruding when it happens but if the whole thing leaked she would probably either 1. scrap it (and we’d have it anyway) or 2. she’d release it and jump to the next album and maybe she would learn to stick with what she says or dont say anything at all. By this point, this woman should know how the music industry works and how being a public figure and a personal brand she should say what her plan for releases should go if they’re actually plausible. If not, keep it under wraps. I’d take a concrete release date, tracklist, or anything instead if I could trade that info for the snippets she’s shared.
 
I’d listen to it for sure. But I’d feel bad for Lana more on a personal level. But this chick has to learn by now...
