I'm dying waiting for a scrap of news about Norman Rocking Fuckwell

it's not like i don't agree with you a little bit, it's just that she made it very clear she wants to follow a lowkey approach to this whole celebrity thing. living her life like she did in 2012-2013 can really drain a person and she must have realized it's not for her to do for a long time. i guess she wanted to be more respected as a musician and get a core cult following instead of millions of fans. i think it matters more to her to be this vulnerable, honest, raw person accepted by the loyal fans she has and not this LDR persona anymore. she started to get taken seriously by a lot of people including the critics after she dropped that whole image but anyway it's been 6 years, there's nothing but accepting that and moving on. 

maybe because she is over 30 now and she doesn't wanna be walking around like a rebel teen with daddy issues anymore
imagine if she was like 40 and still doing all of that "bad sad girl" image 
leave that to the actual teens like billie eilish
her image and sound are much more mature and grounded now, so is her brand
 
her being totally unprofessional this era is another thing 

I'd honestly forgive this era if she was that stupid to not know what "top of the year" meant and genuinely believed that she told us it would be out in late 2019

I can't believe there are people in a pre-NFR thread mad at people wanting.... NFR. Really hope Lana answers y'alls dms for the amount of hours some of you are putting into being angry that everyone on here isn't holding hands and singing MAC until NFR arrives.

'Top of the year' is admittedly vague but the top of the year means the start, e.g. January-March. Here's a link to a translator's website who wanted to clarify the meaning: https://www.translatorscafe.com/tcterms/en-US/question.aspx?id=34435     She went onto her old twitter and answered someone who asked when it'll be out with 'who knows.' We're not misunderstanding anything.
 
Tbh I genuinely think this era could have been amazing in a lowkey way. Yeah she attracts the cool-kid listeners but the cool kids are wearing glossier makeup instead of brighter brands and are getting into the environment, it's not the same as it used to be and this $1 poetry stuff could have been good and fit with that aesthetic. I get wanting to wait to release it late summer- if that's what she's planning, god willing- but still. To reiterate, no, we're not mad just because she hasn't released it. She could have waited until summer 2022 to drop it, if she didn't say it would have been the top of 2019. My favourite band are off doing independent projects and the fans know we won't get another album until 2021 at the earliest. No one's mad because fans, even discussion board invested fans, want quality over quantity when they fall in love with a quality artist. If they'd announced that a new album was done, ready for release in a few months, and then just never mentioned it again and sent photos posted on their instagrams to music magazines and gave absolutely no indication of when they intended to drop it, then people would get mad. And rightly so. Artists shouldn't be expected to cater to their fans' every whim, but shouldn't jerk them around either. It's a two way street and miss del rey has closed one of the lanes for the foreseeable future.

i just want to hear .. the music... i just want the music.........all im asking for is music .............................. i-

Wow, she really clowned us again, didn’t she

The thing is: people who listen to Lana Del Rey like to give off a cool image, especially people who are not really her fans but "pretend" to like her music to come off as a hipster, indie, cool kind of person. It's the truth, the majority of people who listen to her are like that and if you don't believe me just see a picture of the crowd at her concerts. And now Lana is... just not cool. She's not that bad girl who parties at Chateu Mormont with tons of older men, goes to fashion shows wearing all leather and sings about being in the land of gods and monsters. Right now she's just a white female who goes to the church, parties with her other white friends, drinks green tea and sings about going to the beach. She's just bland.
 
Compare her to Britney Spears, for example: on instagram, Britney posts videos of her working out, pictures of her children's doodles, doodles SHE paints herself and those motivation images grannys find on google. But her audience knows she's like that and her audience kinda connects with her that way. Lana, on the other hand, appeals to a very hip cool young crowd and recently she's just not it. If "real" fans are already dropping her imagine how casual fans must feel lol.
 
I promise this is the first and last long post I make on this thread  don't wanna get too invested like some of y'all.

OK

Isnsjsnsnsn why are y’all this way I love it

she performed how to disappear in October then literally disappeared 

I kinda want to unstan because she really didn't give them an interview but at the same time I must say this bitch has some nerve because as far as I'm concerned the only other artist to cover Vogue without an interview was Beyoncé so 

is this that moment where high fashion decides that low fashion is high fashion?? with the Met Gala ruining the "camp" theme and Vogue Italia running an LDR as play pretend librarian at some weird modern Grey Gardens (Technicolor Gardens?).  whatever theyre trying is failing.  i'm not really feeling it tbh.  feels like the fashion world is just running out of ideas.  meanwhile, no NFR.  doesnt Lana understand that poetry is just stripped down music?  like to me, music is a more fleshed out, comprehensive form of poetry.
 
so if Lady Gaga fans are "little monsters" and Mariah fans are "lambs" --- are Lana fans just "clowns" or "little fuckers"?

It's sad how I don't even care for magazine shoots anymore. I don't care for her insta posts. I don't care for poetry. I don't care for snippets. I just want the actual damn album with IYC and Cinnamon. I don't care for these little side shenanigans.

should i even be surprised

Lanaboards right now

Um.
 
There's no NFR news in Vogue. There isn't even an article. Just two poems. One poem isn't new.

Wow, we need to recruit some members from there
 
This hits a little close:
 
"What I'd like to see is Lana getting busy on the typewriter, like she's a 70s self-made novelist cooped up in a big mansion on her own, but slowly going crazy, not being able to tell the difference between herself and the characters she's inventing on the pages."

I can't believe there are people in a pre-NFR thread mad at people wanting.... NFR. Really hope Lana answers y'alls dms for the amount of hours some of you are putting into being angry that everyone on here isn't holding hands and singing MAC until NFR arrives.

I see from the third caption that cha cha matcha renamed itself to 'The Studio.' Or maybe she's talking about the spin class studio
