Just realized we might have IYLDWM vibes on the album...

I'm torn... I want original songs, but I also want a bunch of classic covers... I hope we get a 30 songs album!

YES! YES! YES!

Pawn Shop Blues too and Disco/Get Drunk for the deluxe!

Awww Now lemme do country/folk mixes for all of her albums while we wait

Now that I'm fully awake and realized the news are in fact real... I'M SO HAPPY! And curious, I do wonder what type of country the album will sound like... But either way, I'm extremely excited! Sadly, I know I can't trust her, so "Lasso" (or whatever the album will be renamed) will probably come out sometime next year

So happy for this!

About to pull a Barb and dox that old hag... I'm pissed off now.

QFTC 2.0 coming... RCS the re-announcement next?

I need Lana to release 12 albums in one year. One each month Or better yet, 365 albums! One per day!

Now I'm fucking pissed because deep inside, I KNEW I was dreaming. Part of me simply couldn't believe my eyes. It was the slayage of the millennium. Everyone was gagged, it seemed to be something everyone had wanted and expected from her for years I've been having lucid dreams lately, so now I can tell when I'm about to wake up and be disappointed. As I scrolled down through lanaboards, my vision was getting blurry and some comments didn't make any sense... It was all too good to be true and my brain knew it Random fact, earlier in the dream, Thunder came on the radio and I recorded it with my phone so I could send it to my mom, since it's her favorite song (after The Greatest) So I had a very heavy Lana dream

FUCKING HELL. I just had the most vivid dream and my jaw is still dropped. In this dream, I had just gotten home when I checked my phone and saw Lana posted on IG. I check it and it was a reel, some sort of BTS video with new music and the caption said something about creating something special for us, releasing very soon. It was very similar to an album trailer. After scrolling down her feed, it was full of screencaps of a new video and each photo had a caption of a timestamp next to a name of one of her past songs. I was confused, after I checked her YouTube page... She had just released a new fucking song and it was around 15 minutes long. I think it was a short film. She looked fantastic, the video was very ethereal, it featured scenes of her dancing in her underwear and then people attending a funeral, her siblings hanging out, etc, which was very odd lol That's when I realized what the timestamps meant... She sampled some of her most popular songs throughout the new song (only small lines, like a cute throwback) I don't remember much about the song, except for it being produced by Jack and it had the line "I wear my days blue". It sounded similar to Let the Light In and A&W. Very folk, bu moody and dark as hell. Then checking LB... Only two threads were made cause apparently the site went down Some people here were discussing how good the song was, because she was addressing most of her past controversies as a huge "fuck you" at the critics and fake fans, it was very catty and sassy. Others complained because Lana had only released the film without the name of the single, (I think the title was something like "LANA DEL REY - SHORT FILM") nor the release date for the song or the album... Just the film with a titleless song

I hate not being in Buenos Aires anymore

I hope she brings the backup singers for most of the album! I need that gospel energy!

Run to the studio and record Noir professionally

On Our Way x5

I need her to release her Tammy Wynette cover...

There were three cats, but only two are on the released photo... JUSTICE FOR THE THIRD KITTY!

Yeah... the "Last call, hey y'all, hang his hat up on the wall" part sounds like "We clawed, we chained, our hearts in vain, we jumped, never asking why"

She's unreal, the most beautiful woman ever

Just realized... the tiktok girlies are about to go INSANE for this photoshoot...

OMG SHE ACKNOWLEDGED EARTHQUAKES!

Lana Del Rey Talks Headlining Coachella, Her Grammys Noms, and Why She Loves Valentine’s Day BY CHRISTIAN ALLAIRE January 18, 2024 Photo: Nadia Lee Cohen There are few people worthy of an 11 p.m. phone call on a school night, but Lana Del Rey is certainly one of those folks. After all, less than a month into 2024, it’s already shaping up to be the year of Lana: The singer is set to headline Coachella in April, and she’s also nominated for five Grammy Awards this year, including an Album of the Year nod for the masterful Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd. “It’s fun because I executively produced it, like I did my last two albums,” Del Rey tells Vogue of her nominations. But there's more… Today, Del Rey becomes the newest face of Skims, fronting a Valentine’s Day collection out January 23rd. Modeling for fashion brands is nothing new for Del Rey, who has also been tapped as a Gucci muse in the past. The collaboration with Kim Kardashian (and her multi-billion dollar shapewear brand), she says, is especially personal. “I love Kim, and I love her family,” Del Rey says. “Me and my sister are huge fans of them, and have been watching them forever.” (The pair also have history: Back in 2014, Del Rey performed at Kardashian and ex husband Kanye West’s pre-wedding festivities.) In honor of the new campaign, Vogue caught up with Del Rey to talk why she loves Skims, what she thinks about Valentine’s Day—“I'm sentimental, so of course I'm going to love Valentine's Day!”—as well as creating one of the most celebrated albums of the year. Plus, a bit on what fans can expect from her upcoming Coachella set, too. Vogue: Hi Lana! Congrats on your new Skims campaign. To start, I’d love to hear what drew you to working with the brand. Lana Del Rey: It was kind of a cool coincidence. I actually had asked a mutual friend [of Kim and I's], Tracey Cunningham, if there was any way we could get one of the Swarovski [Skims] dresses that had sold out; At the same time, her friend Tracy Romulus asked if I’d be interested in doing a campaign. So it all happened at the exact same minute, which I took as a serendipitous sign. And I said, ‘Yeah, absolutely.’ I didn't really hesitate. Me and my girlfriends were pretty excited, actually. What do you love about the pieces that Kim and Skims are making? Well, first of all, I just love how well it's doing for her. And second of all, I do wear basics on most days; I like wearing the little rompers, or onesies with a big T-shirt. I’m always curious to see what they're going to do; it’s an ever-evolving brand. It started as kind of a niche brand, and I feel like it's grown into a thing where now my sister and my best friend Margaret are wearing it. All of a sudden you’re like, ‘Oh, you’re wearing Skims too,’ and you show up in the same outfit as you’re getting a coffee. It’s really kind of sweet. How did the concept for the shoot evolve with the photographer Nadia Lee Cohen? It was for a Valentine’s Day drop, so it was driven by her and Kim’s concept, and I just liked it the way it was. They really wanted me to be blonde, so that it looked different from all the other photos that I've taken. I thought that was cool. I worked with [Nadia] before, and I love everything she does. I didn't know that she was the person who shot Kim in her snow bunny [campaign]. That was what drew me in the most, and I was hoping [our shoot] would have a little bit of a sixties flare, too. You’re someone who has written a lot about love, so I’m curious what your relationship to Valentine’s Day is. Aw, that’s cute. I'm sentimental, so of course I'm going to love Valentine's Day! It’s up there for me in terms of the holidays. I do what half of girls do, and buy themed tea towels from HomeGoods, and put a couple extra hearts in the kitchen while I’m making coffee just for fun—the way I would for Christmas or whatever. It’s the last holiday right after that triad of Thanksgiving and Christmas, and then you’ve got that little reprieve of Valentine’s Day. It’s always been a happy day for me. Do you have any reflections on love this year, coming up on Valentine’s Day? Well, because I reflect on love every day, I must admit it holds not much more weight than a gentle Tuesday. I’m always thinking about everything all the time, including love and how things have gone, and how they're going to go. So I mean, does Valentine’s Day magnify it at all? I think it used to. Now, I guess it depends on the year. Some years, all my friends are in town and they want to do something themed, which is cute. Some years are quiet, or some years you have a boyfriend; Some years two ex-boyfriends send you flowers, and it's funny—I’m like, why? But I also think it can be a hard day for a lot of people. But it’s not for me. I want to ask you about the upcoming Grammys. Congratulations on Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd getting an Album of the Year nomination. Looking back on making that record, what did creating that work mean to you? I didn't think I was going to be making this album until I met Mike Hermosa; He did not consider himself a musician at all—he was a cameraman, a DP—but he would play, and I really liked some of the stuff he was playing. I then turned that into an unexpected album for myself. I knew it was going to be an album after I sang casually to about four of his four-chord licks; I didn't expect to get four songs quickly, but once I have about four, I always feel like then I am probably going to make an album, if I think they're good enough. I wrote “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd,” “Let the Light In,” “The Grants, and “Taco Truck” within the same time period. With that little foundation, I was like, ‘Oh, okay, I'm going to go all the way with it.’ So that album kind of found me. Things did not really go the way I thought that year, we had a lot going on, so I wasn't really sure what kind of life or legs the album would take on. Another thing that I think propelled it was actually the album covers. We took almost as long with making the cover as making the album; It was a slow process. But I really, really liked our album covers, and once I saw them all, I felt like there was a different energy around it. It’s sort of like a picture’s worth a thousand words. One of my favorite tracks on the album is “A&W,” which has a Grammy nod for Song of the Year. I think it delivers one of the best musical transitions of the year; The song takes you on a journey. What was the intention behind the track’s epic mid-song switch-up? That song sat in Jack Antonoff’s mailbox for nine months. It was supposed to be a ballad, and when I was done making the album, I asked him to listen to it. I had already put down the instrumental, and it didn't include the “Jimmy Cocoa Puff” part that it transitions into. He felt really, really strongly that it should. And I wasn't sure, because I had written the Jimmy part 13 years ago, and I had recreated it with him two years ago. So I re-recreated that, and I did a different interpretation that was a little more bouncy. And at the time, I wasn't really sure if the transition diminished the song's point, or if distracted from it in a good way—if took it from one place into a better place. Ultimately I was like, I would prefer for this song to transition into a happier place; I don't want it to land in this sad spot. So, it’s interesting: When Jack has a really strong opinion, I've definitely learned that it's very worth trusting it. Sometimes we're so differently inclined musically, but with this one, I'm really glad that we went with our inclination. If you asked me, I would not have thought that this song would gain any traction. But I am really happy about it; I think it’s cool. Lastly, you're heading Coachella this year! What can fans expect from the performance? I am really excited about headlining. It’s funny, because it's going to be about 10 years to the day that I was [last] there, which is insane. I've known I was headlining for a long time, because you get booked way in advance, so I've thought about it for a while, and I already have a lot of things set into motion. If all goes well, it'll be as big and bold as I hope it will be. Architecturally, it's going to depend on the structure, and whether I can make it. . . But I'm really excited about it. I’m excited, so my fans can get excited. https://www.vogue.com/article/lana-del-rey-skims-campaign-grammys-coachella
