    I know this has probably been mentioned a few times, but what if surprise dropping the 3 singles with no announcement/promotion was to test the waters and see if she could surprise drop an album without it flopping? Like yeah it wouldn’t do as well first week without physicals, but she already dropped an album this year that did fabulously first week, so maybe her label is fine with giving her a lil freebie and letting her surprise release it with physicals later.

    I'm sure fame isn't what she thought it would be, but I don't think it's true that she doesn't want to be famous - or moreover, she obviously still wants to release songs and she knows fame comes with that. If she doesn't want to be famous, why release anything at all?

    It’s possible she’s constantly debating quitting because she can’t handle fame but never does because she is so passionate about her work. Even between AKA and BTD when her career seemed to be going nowhere, she was constantly making music. And now she has the opportunity to release her music for the world and to support herself that way and she shouldn’t have to give up her privacy and safety and peace of mind just to create songs and make a living off of that. Yeah, I know, it’s a trade off, but it doesn’t mean it’s fair or that she just accepts it with a smile. Plus even if she did quit, the cat’s already out of the bag, everyone knows who she is. She wouldn’t even be able to have a personal social media page or live her life in peace. Fans would still stalk her and harass her. They wouldn’t just forget she existed. So if she can’t ever have true freedom or safety again, why should she give up her passion? Would it not make more sense to just put out music on her own terms and still get to write and sing and support herself that way? Because the life she’s living at the moment, kinda low key, hanging out with her friends, is likely the exact same life she’d be living if she quit music, including having fans running into her all the time. She’d never escape that unless she lived in disguises all the time and nothing’s stopping her from already doing that if she wanted to. Like Joni Mitchell “quit” after pretty much every album but she’d end up writing so much and wouldn’t even get the privacy she longed for, so she’d always come back. Sometimes quitting just isn’t worth it even if you hate fame and your fans.

    Am I going to buy the physical copy? Also no, because I'm not obligated to look to that hideous cover

    I’ve never really understood this stance, yet it seems to be very common around here. Do you guys only buy albums to look at? Like I’ve got plenty of albums I love spinning but I don’t care for the album cover, but it doesn’t matter because I can literally put the sleeve back on the shelf while I listen if it’s that big of a deal. If I only bought albums with covers I liked, I’d be missing lots of great albums.

    Dumb theory but hear me out... so far all three singles reference some type of song:

     

    Blue Banisters: "Diamonds and Rust"

    Text Book: "Old Man River"

    Wildflower Wildfire: "Comfortably Numb" & "Lithium" (the lithium one could be a stretch but whatever)

     

    Now yeah I know Lala likes to make references to songs but...

    it's just very prominent in those three tracks and it could be a recurring theme throughout the album

     

    With that being said - according to BOZ a leaked song could show up on this album and the only one that could blend in with the album's sound and contents so far that I could think of would be "Thunder". Thunder references "Mr. Brightside" and yes I'm a delulu at heart - and even tho we love you "Cherry Blossom" I really think a reworked version of "Thunder" would work really well with the album since it features the same lounge singer vibe as "Text Book" and "Wildflower Wildfire" - and because of Daddy Dawes :wub:

    Thunder also references the song Maria from The Sound of Music, which would be extra fitting since TB and BB also include musical theatre references. :oic3: For that reason (and Zach’s involvement), I have actually wondered if Thunder could make it onto this album (and I’m usually not delusional about wanting unreleased songs on an album) :really:

    Not that it matters but this lowkey going to be so overshadowed if she releases it this summer due to her lack of communication/promo plus Billie/lorde releasing and it coming so quickly off COCC

     

    i wouldn’t mind if it doesn’t come until late fall tbh

    That might be her plan. Maybe if she releases when so many others are she hopes to go a little bit under the radar. Though I doubt it’s actually coming this summer. But she could’ve originally intended for it to come out this summer to get less attention.

    sooo besties RSD drop one is in less than a week! what are yall planning to get? personally i want chromatica yellow and twenty one pilots location sessions and also shrek score

    If the Peggy Lee 1955 World Broadcast Recordings LP is available at the indie record store in my town, I’ll definitely have to scoop that up. Not much else that excites me this year. I wish I knew what will be included on the Joni Mitchell Archives Highlights LP because if it’s mostly the demo tape stuff, I’d need it, but if it’s mostly the second fret stuff, I have more than enough records of that already lol. But then the record store in my town doesn’t usually get a lot of RSD exclusives, so idek if they’ll have those. I wonder if I’m able to call and ask beforehand.

    What are your predictions about the RCS lyric? I think it's going to be like "Our love was sweet, rock candy sweet" :thumb3:

    No but now seriously, I think it's about the concept the media has of her that as she was born in a rich family she had an easy life and an artificial rise to fame (like they say now an industry plant).

    So maybe she says something about her life not being rock candy sweet or whatever. The only thing is that the title LYTAN doesn't really look like it's about that and if it's an old song maybe it doesn't have the autobiographical sense of the last 3 songs...

    I still think the “rock candy sweet” lyric could be a reference to Big Rock Candy Mountain, actually even more so after she referenced Ol’ Man River in Text Book. So like I think the line will somewhat be about how she was looking for a paradise that never really existed, which could connect to her achieving fame and recognition, but it not turning out the way she had imagined.

    Fuck, I hope she releases the pre-order soon because I’m about to spend all my money on Lisa Eldridge’s new makeup launch...I’d much rather spend it on the new vinyl editions but cannot do both. Being a Lana fan kills our bank accounts, yeah? :(

    Honestly I get so anxious knowing a Lana album is coming but not knowing exactly when because what if I spend all my pin money on records then Lana drops a pre-order? :icant:
