The difference I found when it comes to UV narratives is that it seemed to be quite theatrical too (it was her second album, so she was still on the top of the creating-her-persona process). The production was huge -not in a bad way or meaning overproduced, I mean that it created very crafted atmospheres, it had a very wide sound-, so the thing exploded and Lana was there playing so many different roles. But in this case, I think it's just Lana trying to get her pieces together. There's no trail of the opulency of her previous sound. t's just her accompanied by very minimalistic and delicate music. She sounds so, so vulnerable.

dear lord hillsong jesus, please deliver us from this norman fucking rockhell of a rollout and grant us the full album available on legitimate streaming services, amen

I’m sorry I can’t help you since I have no link but you’re right this is a sisterhood. I can send you a voice note of me yelling the song at the top of my fuckin lungs in my bathroom while my mom is telling me to shut the fuck up from the other room.

plus she doesn't owe us anything

Hey. To the ones saying NFR has already "topped UV and HM". I think the songs released aren't bad and bland as many expected, but they sound anyway quite experimental and embrionary in artistic terms. The production has nice elements to it, but isn't actually consistent. Her voice and her writing clearly aren't at her best. Go and relisten UV and HM, as I'm doing. It helps to not make a precipitate judgement on NFR based mostly on the drought that we have had gone through to get some new songs.

My guess is the whole “culture is lit & I had a ball” thing was meant to be a contrast between current slang (almost meme culture) & old fashioned slang. Kind of like a reference to her famous lyricisms almost always being old fashioned & well spoken. I don’t think it’s directly about the slang itself but more of a “I’m hip & down w the crowd but I’m still me” type of thing.
 
I’m horrible at explaining stuff. I hope this shit made sense to at least one person or I’ll eat my phone, bone app the teeth

It's totally okay! and I apologize if my post came across as rude or snarky in any way. I just think we all approach music in different ways and find a variety of things that resonate with us; whether that be lyricism, production, etc. I'm just glad that Lana has made records that speaks to different people.

Hey! I Wrote the post trying not to sound pedantic and clearly failed at all at that. When I talk about relistening the albums was just kind of thinking aloud, as it was the process I'm doing to try to judge on a more "objective" way - there's not objective ways and I know, just my attempt- the material we are getting last weeks, even if I've listened to them thousands of times also. Either we can or not share a common view on her music, sorry if I sounded imperative, that wasn't actually my intention.

When I say that I think the new songs have topped UV and HM, I'm speaking subjectively and based on my perspective. It's nothing authoritative. These songs so far have a different atomosphere that really resonates with me more than the content on Ultraviolence and Honeymoon. You think that her songwriting isn't at her best, I think some of these songs are her most well written in years. I don't need to go back and listen to them again, because I've heard them enough times to form my own opinion about new music.

She really should post a picture with clown make-up for the announcement because announcing the songs to be released "soon" when both have already leaked because their team failed taking them down really fits the clown aesthetic of this album

I want her to try different things as well, just not with a trash producer. I hope she doesn’t get trapped under jacks mk ultra mind control like the rest of the girls he works with. The reason I mention working with people she has worked with in the past is because I think Rick, Justin, and dan heath have been involved in some of he best released and unreleased work. I think they could bring the best out off these new territories that Lana is (poorly) attempting to get into. Mainly writing political or political adjacent topics. As much as I dislike Coachella it’s better than looking for america, and so are the other ‘political’ tracks from lfl.

Add to it the chorus of "I'm not the only one" by Sam Smith xd

Wtf. They sound so much alike.

The Greatest's melody reminds me a bit of A Whiter Shade Of Pale by Procol Harum 

Ye, I'm on the same mindset concerning it... Quite more complex that TG. It's so interesting, so in the vein of VB. And I find it quite similar to Georgia, by Kevin Abstract (which he composed and produced with Antonoff inspired by VB).

Omg yes I would live for her commenting something like:  "Some people are getting fired" 

fuck it i love drugs is so... talented, interesting, complex, melancholic... they really did THAT

So...
 
FIILY was meant to be out 16th
 
TG the 17th
 
Then google play added TG by accident today which caused it to leak. Then they took it down.
 
Then Jack said both songs are out midnight.
 
Them Lana uploads FIILY on youtube, takes it down. It leaks.
 
Then Spotify uploads FIILY as a new release bit you cant actually play it.
 
The mother fucking circus is in town and Lana and her team are the fucking clowns.

Lust for Life was basically intended to be messy, it was everything that Lana is/has been/wants to become all in one album. It was a full circle moment. It shown her intelectual side about believing in a positive future and being together (Love, LFL) to her classic emotional relationship ballads (13B, Cherry, White Mustang), to her hip hop gangsta side (SM, GL, IMF), her political side (GBA, WAW, Coachella, BPBP) and of course, the last 3 songs being its own seperate parting story to the person she wants to become.
 
Lust for Life was a gateway record to something new, its title being a nod to her first record was just the perfect way to end things. I dont think she's ever going to be the same again.
 
..anyway sorry for talkin about lfl, i know this has been said A LOT but i just, as much as the album is messy and ugly.. it had its purpose and led to this iconic album!

I don't find racist connotations in The Greatest. But, no place to doubt, talking about him in the song explicitly after the feud they had on Instagram (or her comment, better said, there was truly no feud), and being the lyrics on Hope the ones she chose ("shaking my ass was the only thing that's got this black narcissist of my back"), the whole topic is quite conflictive right now, and it's perfectly legit for people to be confused about it. As none of us are, I'm not inside Lana's head to know what she wanted or not to say, and I haven't seen clearly racist issues on her work till now, but she should have know that the critics on this topic would come (and I'm actually glad that people are fighting any potentially racist expression on art, even if that comes to Lana too).

Don't know if you've seen already, but J.Antonoff confirmed on twitter both of the songs will be out at midnight!
