Fantasy said news on Thursday. 
 
If the "news" is anything other than a song or an actual release date for the album or book ... kms

oh, I thought you got the info from a website or something

Actually turned out to be a pretty insightful interview in revealing her process and intentions. Unsurprisingly it confirms that she is the one that is holding up the album, which will no doubt annoy a lot of fans but it's whatever. It feels like this is the way she has always been if you look back to her myspace accounts, her youtube channel and overall very scattered online presence. We know she had 100s of songs but only directly shared a handful she liked. I think she is really enjoying living a simple life and she has always said she writes the best when she is happy, Video Games came out of "giving up" trying to make it happen. She has put out albums so rapidly since she became famous and it has been of a really consistent quality, she doesn't owe us anything. I personally think Mariners Apartment Complex, Venice Bitch and Sylvia are some of her best songs so I'm sure the album is going to be like interchangeably in her top 3 albums. 
 
I understand it's the fact that it is literally done and has been for a while and she has no intention of putting it out that is annoying people but for whatever reason right now doesn't "feel" like the right time for her. I will say that I am typically very opposed to artists releasing a string of tracks that aren't really "singles" before an album because it just lessens the impact of hearing an entire body of work in one serving and kind of diminishes the status of it as an album, so I'm not a fan of her choosing that route.
 
I'm now just wondering what the Steven Klein shoot was for because her tweet was ambiguous enough for it to be either the album cover or a V mag story. Her not having a plan would prob negate it being for V.

some points were made

*Instapot bubbling in the background* *puts on coffee* *speaks breathily* I just like *sniffs Gucci Guilty perfume* the masters *puts on bath* of every genre *washes hair* 

Petition for Lana to partake in a revival of @@YUNGATA 's bathtime tinychats. 

inb4 the redone cover of NFR is a Rockwell homage in disappearing ink and the album just tracks of white noise 

*record scratch sound* Hold the phone. Didn't she say before that she didn't watch TV/didn't have a TV growing up? 

Really unfortunate this name was squandered on a cooking device and not on, like, Uber for weed. 

Release a couple more songs and the album effectively would be out. 
[No context]

*FMWUTTT plays* 

Lana: People trading on their name in another field is lame... except when I do it! 
Rules for thee, but not for me.
 

Dear Lana, 
Please do this. I swear I'll buy lots of copies and wouldn't dream of editing it to make you say even stupider things on a Lana Del Reydio podcast at some point in the future. I swear on the timely release of NFR.
 
Cheers,
ee

The pAtIeNcE crew can go on pretending our problem is that we can't wait more than two weeks between records, and need Lana to work herself to death to keep us satisfied. Sure, a handful of people might truly feel that a year or two is too long a wait for a new album (lol), but I think 99% of us would have been cool with her taking some time off to relax, focus on her personal life, work on herself and write cringy  poetry. Just imagine her coming out and saying that instead of mocking us with "soon"s. Imagine if she hadn't released MAC & VB a full year before the album they're in, just so that people would forget about the Israel shitshow. Or if she had put them in an EP with Yosemite. Or, if she had decided not to put them in the album & to release them as stand-alone singles instead (and clearly stated that). Imagine if she hadn't said the album was coming at the top of the year, or March 29. Imagine if, back in 2018, she had simply announced she planned on taking things slowly this time, and we shouldn't expect NFR before 2020. Imagine how happy everyone would be if she had said that, and we ended up getting the album in late 2019. Not to mention how much more excited everyone would be about the poetry book! If she had been honest and open, all this negativity wouldn't exist.

Wait, does anyone else remember her saying that she named the album "Norman Fucking Rockwell" because it was her favourite track? 
 
And now her favourite tracks are VB, MAC and Hope. 
 
Where's that "lies" thread ... 

It really does; I just listened. Everyone always acts like Jack is such a genius but I'd personally never trust anyone who dated Lena Dunham.

I love how she does an interview and instead of clearing anything up it just creates more confusion. 
 
She really is one-of-a-kind.

Lana: "I don't have a plan for the album. Also, I might release the poetry book in the next six months or so. BRB Cha Cha Matcha."
 
The fandom:
 
all you have to do is change everything
All you have to do is change everything
all you have to do is change everything

We keep coming back to the friends, so let me rant (again) about the friends. You're welcome.
 
First of all, people keep saying, "oh we know nothing about them." Not true. They all have social media accounts which are publicly accessible, and it's very clear from those what type of people they are. That tall blonde one turns the camera onto Lana every single time she's videoing. I don't think that that's a coincidence.
 
Am I saying that they're bad people? No, but one can ascertain things from what they post. You don't have to be a genius to work out that a lot of it is carefully crafted to create an image. That's how some people choose to use social media, and that's their choice, but it makes me wonder if being friends with Lana is, at least partially, part of that carefully crafted image. I hope not.
 
Lana is obviously very familiar with using social media for professional purposes, but the Instagram baddie resolution was a resolution to essentially use social media to be fake from a personal standpoint. You can see the obvious correlation to her friends there.
 
Second of all, almost everyone seems to be assuming that Lana has changed - but has she? I mean, as I've said before, she's friends with Courtney. She is (or was - idk about now because of the Kanye IG comment) tight with the Kardashians. One of her current friends was their rep, we know she is/was friends with Kim, and last year she interviewed Kendall and said that Kris Jenner is very grounded. 'K, Lana.
 
That interview a few pages back, she went on and on about that Alessandro guy, and she's done that in almost every single interview in the past 6 months. Am I saying that Courtney, Kim, Alessandro, etc are bad people? No. But Lana does subscribe to the celebrity lifestyle and she has for a long time. I mean, if you think the Kardashians are grounded ...
 
I don't think I had a point; I just thought I'd kill 20 minutes by ranting.

I mean, at least she talked about the album in that interview, so we know it still exists
 
but I still feel traumatised

Can't go to the beach
Without the paparazzi
Wish they would fuck off

Scream at her to sing unreleased shit, like those people at Buku. That video was priceless; she looked so confused lol
 
The look when she realises that that person is yelling, "Cinnamon" makes me LMAO

But I'm pretty sure Florence was really clear about the release dates, iirc, and she also didn't release songs/announce an album and then say nothing about it for the next seven months and counting. She also staggered her pre-release songs quite evenly. Lana gave us two in a week and then nothing for four months.
 
Lana's fanbase is definitely more ... intense, but the way Lana is orchestrating this isn't helping. If it's really annoying, then she should just turn off all of her comments. I'm surprised she hasn't, actually, because there is fuck all meaningful content.
