We got confirmation that Mike Dean is working with her but he didn't say a lot more than that.
A reliable insider said that she is doing something unexpected with the album (but not in terms of the sound) and that it's probably going to be delayed. Rock Candy Sweet was/is now just a lyric. 
The title track is not produced by Jack (or any of her usual collaborators).
Also a snippet leaked and we freaked out for like 3 min cause the whole song (French Restaurant) leaked very quickly and it's an old song.

lana albums as holiday food 
 
sirens - mashed potatos
aka - apple pie
born to die - gingerbread cookie
paradise - mac & cheese
ultraviolence - ham
honeymoon - candy cane
lust for life - eggnog
norman fucking rockwell - turkey
chemtrails - stuffing

I love when we talk about Cherry Blossom. Yes - it is "Angelina". Confirmed by Lana's post.

Listening to some L+F outtakes and it's funny how *deep down* there's a bop album buried in there that could have easily worked.
 
"The Art Of Letting Go"
1. You
2. The Art of Letting Go
3. Baby
4. Please Don't Call Me
5. Water Under The Bridge
6. Karma
7. Believe In Love
8. There's Nothing Wrong With You
9. Soft To Be Strong
 
 
No particular order, but It's basically a bop collection, with this perspective of having a recent break up and just looking all around. From missing the person, to suddenly hating, and also realizing the need to move on and that life goes on.
 
I kinda wish End Of the Earth could be there as like track 01 as some "prelude" just like You but it feels so odd opening dd. 

This songs gives me vaginal discharge. Such a lovely sensation

There’s a picture on the wall
Of me on a John Deere
Jenny handed me a beer
Said, “How the hell did you get there?”
Oklahoma
There were flowers that were dry
Sitting on the dresser
She asked me where they’re from
I said, “A place I don’t remember”
Oklahoma
 
Jenny jumped into the pool
She was swimming with Nikki Lane
She said, “most men don't want a woman with a legacy, it's our bane”
She said, “You can’t be a muse and be happy too
You can’t blacken the pages with Russian poetry and be happy”
& That scared me
‘Cause I met a man who
 
Said he’d come back every May
Just to help me if I paint my banisters blue
Blue banisters, ooh
Said he’d fix my weathervane
Give me children
Take away my pain
And paint my banisters blue
My banisters blue
 
There’s a whole that’s in my heart
All my women try and heal
They’re doing a good job convincing me that it’s not real
It’s heat lightning, ooh
‘Cause there’s a man that’s in my past
There’s a man that’s still right here
He’s real enough to touch in my darkest nights
He’s shining, ooh
 
Jenny was smoking by the pool
We were writing with Nikki Lane
I said, “I’m scared of the Santa Clarita fires
I wish that it would rain”
I said, “The power of us three,
Could bring absolutely anything
Except that one thing:
The diamonds, the rust, and the rain
The thing that washes away the pain”
But that’s okay ‘cause
 
Now when weather turns to May
All my sisters come to paint my banisters green
My blue banisters grey
Tex & Mex are in the bay
Chuckie’s making birthday cake
Chicken’s running bare feet
There’s a baby on the way
& Now my blue banisters are green & grey
 
Summer comes, winter goes
Spring I skip, God knows
Summer comes, winter goes
Spring I sleep, heaven knows
 
Every time it turns to May
All my sisters fly to me to paint
Paint

speaking of target exclusives I secretly really miss target-exclusive tracks... like I know they suck as a concept but something about them being so inaccessible made me love them more. I still have such an attachment to Flipside and Is This Happiness 
 
You just had to go so far out of your way for them that they felt like fan-exclusive songs. Secretly hoping we get one on BB

Not just you. It was definitely hard to like, conceptualize it as a project and an era. She kept talking about all of her future plans and all of the different projects she was working on throughout it, and it feels like she didn't really give it much solo attention if that makes sense. None of her recent album rollouts have been... ideal, but cocc in particular felt really nebulous and hard to pin down conceptually.
 
I'm hoping she'll have more of a cohesive sort of thing going on for BB. For example the picsart thing is definitely weird as hell but at least it's consistent so far LMAO

I am so much more hyped for this album than cocc for some reason. I love cocc to death but her rollouts don't tend to cultivate hype bc she'll tease stuff and then disappear for months. It's just this cycle that makes me feel like I can't/shouldn't get too excited for anything from her bc releases are so unreliable and I never wanna get my hopes up
 
But something about this has me SO excited?!?! I think because it's so unexpected and such a quick turnaround. Even if it comes out similar to cocc in some ways, the snippet sounds really gorgeous in a very different (almost more regal??) way from cocc.
 
TL;DR i'm PUMPED

I know everyone hates For Free but it was literally so lovely to see Joni's influence!! I would love a Carey-esque, upbeat song from Lana w the cute background vocals. She fkn loves covers and isn't afraid to cover the same people frequently (cc: nina simone) so it's not out of the question that we'd get more 60s/70s covers, especially if she's still in that phase
 
Even thinking about something like Season of the Witch! I'd be okay w/ some filler song that's a cover of a classic

I'm still thinking about this:
 
 
it's probably just promo for Violet but it makes me wonder about LA Who Am I and what that song was meant for (and even if it'll end up on BB )
 

flipside being an EXCLUSIVE JAPANESE TRACK was the dumbest thing she ever done

If this unhinged byatch goes for country, it had better be lana-esque Golden Hour

Idk about you guys but if the song goes: He painted my banisters blue nO mOrE cANdLe iN tHe WiiiNd I'm gonna k-word myself
