  1. pretty sure her set for daddywood is today... don’t wanna get my hopes up but last time she did a dj set for forever 21 she played you’re not the one months before it was released + premiered some songs at pitchfork fest later on. could new material be upon us?


  2. i’m so shocked i’m saying this but i actually kinda like it.. i understand why some people aren’t into it but this was just what i needed to hear at the moment


  3. things were looking up when she released “do me” but this is.. cute i guess. is anyone else having a hard time trying to understand what she’s saying ddd


  4. after liking a couple of posts on here i decided it was finally time to give my two cents on miss lana. funny enough, it was actually my sister who introduced me to her music. i was dazzled by this girl and i could not get enough of her. btd opened me up to so many new sounds and was instrumental in my appreciation of music as an actual art form.

    i have so many memories that are linked to her music both good and bad (just like a big chunk of y’all). i’ll never forget the times i went to pick up my sister from college with my dad at night and having born to die play in the background. that winter break when i did nothing but put the album on repeat and incessantly attempt to beat my facebook friends’ subway surfers scores (lol). paradise ep made its way into my ears on a road trip i went on with my mom and sister, and coincidentally it is one of the only days i remember being truly, genuinely, stupidly happy.

     

    the ultraviolence era came around at a time where i was coming to terms with a rude awakening that had hit me like a truck, something that i already knew was there but refused to acknowledge simply because of shame and fear. i know thematically ultraviolence has absolutely nothing to do with sexual identity but it was the album that convinced me that love was universal and that maybe one day i would be able to relate to brooklyn baby; to have a guy feel as strongly as i felt for him, a person that would appreciate me for who i was (with flaws and all) and would not expect me to do the impossible. that someone who would lift me up while simultaneously celebrating my independence, making it feel like it was just us against the world, a match made in heaven composed of two individuals of the same caliber.

     

    2015 is a very tainted year for me, stained by my parents’ divorce and moving away to a new city which meant starting high school without my longtime friends. eventually my sister moved out and got married, making me feel like i had lost my partner in crime. i had a hard time making new friends the first few months, even communicating with my own mother was getting difficult. and yet honeymoon was there for me, almost like a lullaby my own mother would sing to console me after a nightmare. this is gonna sound so childish but sometimes i thought lana was like a guardian angel (:facepalm:) because it was as if she knew i was going through a rough patch and tried to help in her own little way.

     

    even after inevitably growing out of her music, i will always hold lana and her work in high regard. even if i discover new artists and proceed to fall in and out of love with them, lana will always have a special place in my heart. now i’m not daft and i am aware that people grow and change but it saddens me to see how she’s turned into almost a complete stranger with hints of elizabeth showing up from time to time. she reminds me of that one dear friend you had a falling out or just simply lost touch with, and regardless of distance or who they’re surrounding themselves with, you can’t help but still wish them the best in life because of how significant they once were to you. i wholeheartedly apologize for how lengthy this got, i guess i just i held this in for a long time because i was afraid i was going to sound like one of those fans who are constantly complaining. i’m glad to see i’m not the only one who has noticed that the spark that made her one of a kind has partially fizzled out, if not completely.


  5. i’m excited to find out what she’s gonna do at pitchfork this july, hopefully we get to hear some new songs (artificial love!!!) fingers crossed lol

     

    unrelated but i remember that one insta post where she mentioned she’s been working on masochism with jorge elbrecht and oh man, what a dream team. he happens to be the executive producer of one of my favorite albums from 2018, wild nothing’s indigo. i’m beyond stoked to hear what they’ve been cooking up together, you really can’t go wrong with jorge and tamaryn on your side.
