Well love that for her actually, doesn't mean everything they do together is fire though. She hardly got out of her comfort zone on DYKTTATUB though, while I think it's one of her best and most beautiful album it was very much a medley of her past four projects (Violet included). It was done very well, but it's definitely not the boundary pushing project you're describing.

I find it almost fascinating how some people on this website try to act high and mighty whenever Jack Antonoff is brought up. Like, until proven otherwise, she will be working with him for the foreseeable future... so we're kinda bound to talk about their artistic relationship in any way, shape or form?? There is nothing wrong with wanting Lana to venture out to her comfort zone. People have talked in length about how Lana has evolved, and is evolving as an artist and how important that is. But working with the same people for several album is hardly artistic growth. A little cognitive dissonance moment.

This kind of commentary is camp considering she was literally in the studio with him yesterday.

I truly don't know what's worse between that and working with the same mid producer ad nauseam since 2019.

I co-wrote this

Anyways

Honestly hope she is, her cover of Stand by Your Man is amazing, and I genuinely like when she's being a road dog with Nikki Lane.

If that was really the case, she would be working on a country album just to spite

Well agree to disagree, I'm just citing an example here (before anyone concludes that I want her to repeat that feat), I think that Born to Die is a perfect example of bombastic production. Not saying that the tracks you mentioned don't feature bombastic elements, I just think that it's not Jack's forte, or his way of doing it sounds a little too unpolished and unfinished.

Bombastic is a vibe as well as a well rounded/layered production, songs featuring some type of beats aren't necessarily bombastic. A&W is the most bombastic song we've gotten in like four albums. Fishtails and Peppers should've been relegated to unreleased material.

He's busy making music with Dulla Peep now, and as much as I want this to happen, it seems very unlikely. They're quite literally on opposite ends of the music spectrum.

Love it, or hate it, she's just done with bombastic music. If she's sticking with Jack for the foreseeable future (which seems to be the case, unfortunately), I'd rather he sticks to piano tunes and stops using that cheap ass 2$ drum set.

I feel like she's probably deeply embarrassed by that, wouldn't blame her tbh. The parasocial relationship her fans have with her fans is just...

Like it's not a meet-and-greet or a concert or something, that's someone's wedding... this is pure & unadulterated insanity. The lack of self-awareness.

Swifties are a threat to society. This is insane.

I think it’s funny that people are being called jealous for pointing out that Lana gives a lot of affection and attention to this core group of stans that attend almost, if not, all her shows and make it a mission to be front and center every single time. Like love that for them, and love that Lana think it’s cute and eadearing—but that doesn’t make it any less obsessive, and honestly selfish too. I think she enables a sense of entitlement and righteousness in this fandom. This is clearly not the behaviour of people that have full-time work commitments or have a bills to pay.

I mean that goes without saying that fans are never going to agree on a setlist. But still, there could be an effort made to at least play more songs from her most recent album. It's giving the NFR tour where she sang very little from the eponymously named album.

She constantly misses opportunities to give a lot of fan favourite songs their live debut

The way the backlash to this made her announce NFR/release the first two singles in advance to divert

It's not like she's always singing 100% of her all her songs live each time either, be for real. At some point the audience will naturally take over, or she'll ask for it.

She needs to add more of them high vibrations songs

Classics can be overplayed and become boring. There is no need to hear Blue Jeans for the thousandth time, it's not like she's fine tuning it or presenting a different/altered version of the song--which is what she's actually doing with DMD and Cherry. Agree to disagree.

Not wanting Lana to do Cherry is wild, like that's legit her liveliest song live
