The way this album is shaping to be worst than L+F Lyrically but at least she's... sonically back (?). I'm gonna stay away from genius and bop my head or FEEL these piano chords. That's it.

Edit: Also, with the recent trend of "rereleasing" albuns just a few weeks after the debut, I can see her actually tacking Happy Loner and Pink Convertible in there and calling it a day. She always mentioned about re-releasing\putting deluxe editions out and it just never happened. Mayyybe this time.

It's a ~Minitour

Her IG Stories said "Lil announcement tomorrow"

Unsure if she'd call a record "lil announcement" but we can always pray.

Also the fact driver go faster leaked in... listenable quality. Thank lord.

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. 

Eclipse confirmed "Venus Fly Trap" is the next single on ATRL? Not anytime soon tho.

Well supposedly, she has done video shoots and photoshoots for cover arts and music videos since 2013... her words, not mine (Guardian, other "upcoming singles", Love in Stereo")

I believe all of these just went wrong? nn

Love In Stereo was shot in VHS\Camcoder and the whole footage got fucked up

Guardian didn't go ahead with GrantSinger

There was the "visual EP" thing but no way she managed to film these too I guess.

What if "I Love You But I Love Me More" is about fame/music? And that's why the last track is called goodbye?

 

She chooses herself, delete all social media, say thank you to the fans and disappear?

She also went through a breakup after releasing the "first single" and like changing a lot of the aesthetics from this era. All of these can be interpreted as commom heartbreak\breakup songs.

She almost quit music after Froot without fanfare and Love+Fear was basically a vanity project of "Well what If I DID a FUCKING POP record??". She sounds actually inspired to be doing all music so... just unlikely I guess. Yeah it's a possibility tho.

Sounds like a Family Jewels reject. Cute.

I think Marina was sort of mismanaged but at same time I don't think they were like... failing at their job. They just aimed too high \ barked at the wrong tree. Especially with Electra Heart & Froot, where they basically just wanted to fuck up any goodwill from Europe while trying to make her a name in the US. The cancelled Lonely Heart Club leg, the total lack of effort to promote FROOT (where they really got her to do Good Morning America and... nothing on the other side of the atlantic? nn).... It was truly complicated.

I don't think that it's a different vocal take, but definitely a rough vocal editing. Most of the vocals of the album were clipped 'cause she recorded them in a cheap microphone in a hotel room.

I thought that was a possibility too! It could be it and would align with the whole "Acid Wash Girls" mess too, but it's just odd to imagine people would have full sessions for such a random song lol. But, still, it can be counted as a "demo" of sorts if it's just not the final version of the song. It's a different look at the process after all and just not an "edit" since there's veracity around it.

I also believe the whole "oh it was just recorded in a hotel room #rockstarLife" is... not fake but also not 100% the way they tried to paint it. For sure they used some vocals from these "behind the stage\tour bus\hotel room sessions" but they also re-recorded everything in Studio for the main leads. It's just that Garibay's mixing always sound like being inside a bathroom or right under a stage loudspeaker. See: Dance In The Dark and even his songs with other artists. And it's mainly his songs that sound "odd" on Born This Way while Paul\DJWS stuff just sounds way clearer. It's always all over the place. Still: King(s).

There are real Born This Way demos out there (leaked and circulating). I believe we still don't have the Judas demo that was leaking on the release week and caused the song to be released earlier (lol). There's also some misconceptions like

This is is not a real demo but a Remix. Back then she recorded a set of new vocals for a bunch of remixes (and then the whole thing was scrapped. ).

We also got a "Fashion Of His Love" demo that some people screamed about it being a "stem edit", but at least for me it's clear that it uses a different vocal take from the album\final so it's whatever.

Is it still a surprise that their process of creating music is

*Jack in studio playing keys*

*Lana Del Rey walks in and grabs a microphone* HmmmmMmMmMM mY White Dress hmmm You fucked me so good that I almost said you...boy...

Jack: whew girl you doing that again

Lana: HOPEISABUTTERFLYDOWNTHECHEMTRAILS

Jack: wow girl yas

*Piano solo goes on*

Jack: Alright let's now produce this, get in that vocal booth an-

Lana: Wait no, play another one, he's another rhyme look my flow is sick, play that piano man.

Jack: Lana but we just got one solo take and we need to back it

Lana: No man don't you feel the vibe? I'll NEVER be able to emote these lyrics again wtf??? that's why I'm never performing these songs live ever again. Now play some new chords I've got a chorus in my mind.

Listening to everything right now like it's 2017 nn.

And to know there's still more going around and not leaking (yet) 

At least doorbell is here. Cannot wait.

How come this thread already have 150 pages in 6 days omg

The "Aloha" necklace on the cover

WAYAMAYA CONFIRMED

fuck dealer lives 

Why is she like this...

The pitchfork review basically just trying to make up as some sort of "Misuderstood Legend" instead of actually talking about the album... not actually shocked but at same time it's very nnn. Nice score too, same for honeymoona and few decimals lower than Lust for Life but at this point it's not like there's something really brilliant enough to justify a "best new music" for them.

But yeah Tulsa Jesus Freak is the best thing to come out from this record. it's just... so good. The autotune is so fun. A fresh breath.

Sleepover (rough demo)

Any idea of who produced this? Because the whole sound is very... familiar 

This song\thread having only 1 page feels ironic nn.

Cute to know it was song 2 they wrote together. Wasn't TV in Black & White the first? 

Tbh reading about the demo talk on the last page and... apart from L+F existence, she does have an amazing quality control for every album? I think there were speculations about re-releases for every album since The Family Jewels, but every piece she shared was actually totally worth it and just great songs overall? 

I know the Froot outtakes are a bit unfair to judge since we just don't know if they're real or stem edits or whatever, and even if I'm Not Hungry Anymore is nice, I wouldn't switch anything from the main album for it. The collection of 11 song was just flawless.

But she really dropped Electra Heart and then gave us: E.V.O.L., the Title Track, Just Desserts and How To Be a Heartbreaker which was a potential hit after all and still felt part of the era. These songs were all cute to great.
