Fuck slay omg oh instrumentals and then a tagged snippet not very THAT slay. How come people can be sure these are legit and just not remakes? Just out of curiosity. I love when we get some full-process of few songs like the FROOT demos (and I think there's still more of these to leak??). During years I thought the 7 minutes/Pamplemousse demo would be unleaked unless Marina released it herself, but then we got all the garage band demos from everything else so...

They usually start pushing these kind of ADs to track some extra attention for real...

This is interesting as hell. Do we know/have "You Don't Scare Me", "Blindspot" & "Paradise"? I don't remember any of these titles. It would be a really different album all things considered. Our Lady Of Sorrows sound iconic as well.

Queen has spoken! @Elle your profile picture is gorgeous oh my GOD!

It's okay to stan sis and also ok to recognize these 2 are useless. Dang getting a full push just for the "She's soooo crazyyyy" crowd doesn't mean it's a good song!

Innocent Kind... the bop that you are.

I honestly think that as mental as Twitter/TikTok stans are, things like "Tropico" are just too niche for them. I mean, I don't really interact with many stans but the only place I see "Tropico" being brought up is here.

Usually I'd say 100% YES buuuuuuuuuuuuuut I do think Angels Forever is perfect with the etheral synth-pop vibes. Not every "Ultraviolence" rework... worked (namely: Driving In Cars With Boys). I sort of can imagine it going in a very ~Pink Champagne vibe though.

Some of these takes are bordering "She should cut Venice Bitch into 2:30, remove the electric guitars, replace them with piano chords and keep the trap beat only"

Very likely, they'll just push through like any album cycle tbh. We're probably getting another single in August along with the album tracklist and then the full thing in September. If they really want to shift copies, I wouldn't be surprised at another extra single between August and the album release, especially if there's someone like Charli in there to attract attention.

Everything gets confusing because we just never had anything confirmed, only rumors and """leaks""". I don't think SOPHIE ever confirmed the album to be titled "TRANSNATION" and, AFAIA, we just know there was a scrapped "single release" with the music video leak. The "draft-tracklist" could mean just songs that were being worked on/close to being finished and strong contenders to what would become the "second album", also refered as "the Pop album that was close to being finished by the time of SOPHIE's passing" and they decided to give it the final adjustments along collaborators. Honestly I... don't care about the title. Once again, we have no idea of what was being planned, but at least I see it as a definite moment and pretty respectful, even from the point of view that SOPHIE sadly won't be present physically to "build the world" as they probably intended. It's really just the beautiful music that was close to being done. Maybe these supposedly "cut songs" were not close to being done? Maybe SOPHIE literally cut them from the project?? And maybe we just need to wait for a final tracklist and presentation.

And the fact we already surpassed the 10th anniversary and nothing happened............... well. These titles are so good! I always imagined they didn't have tons of outtakes from the first 3 albums because we got some lengthy tracklists at the end. Ceremonials itself clocked ~23 songs including the demos and bonus tracks, HBHBHB got something like 19 counting all the bonus tracks spread through different versons and God knows how many songs Lungs ended up having after every re-issue. I always cherished the idea of having demos and sketches along the "deluxe" versions, and thought it was funny when they labeled outtakes/bonus like Landscape as "Demos" since we never got any Final version. If we do get something next year for HBHBHB while nothing happened for Ceremonails I'll be pretty pissed. But I DO WANT AS FAR AS I COULD GET ON STREAMING!!!!

ok but Dang. And Meanwhile.

Out of curiosity, but do we have Ceremonials outtakes out there? I know it's very scarce of leaks out there but... Would be amazing to have a tracker or something like that.

I knew it, I fucking knew that When You Take Away Control was/is a real song! I personally think she might meant "recorded 14" in more of a "there were 14 'finished' songs originally and we cut 2" because, as specific as she has been about this process, things could get scrambled along the way. -> I don't know if we have specific dates of when she started recording and when it "ended", but we do know Forget was a "last addition". These 14 recorded songs could be the first batch of FROOT sessions (15 written songs); David's list is also about recorded songs, so it makes sense to consider these 14 to be the main core, cut 2 of them and then Forget happened, so she swapped one last song from the tracklist for Forget's inclusion (Probably I'm Not Hungry Anymore? since she had the Instagram post with it, etc.) -> When she did mention the repackage for the second time (?), she also went very "add like... 4 or 5 more songs (...) there were a few songs that I had not put on it because they weren't quite finished... they didn't belong to it" so she clearly had a vision for it already, and it also lines up with what she said about being discontent with I'm Not Hungry Anymore's production/never being finished. Saviour sounds a little closer to L+F sonically than Froot nnn. -> Isn't "True Colors" from the Froot sessions? It's a bit "jumping the shark" but then indeed she recorded more than 14 songs during the process. It seems like she was in Studio during July 2015, but there were ramblings that it was supposed to be a promotional single for the World's AIDS day campaign in 2014. Anyway I just remembered she teased that something special will happen next year for the 10th birthday, I imagine she might upload I'm Not Hungry Anymore into Spotify and press a new vinyl à la Electra Heart... but then I'm also not sure if she'd doing that with a new Album happening in the pipeline.

few days late but: I truly believe plans are constantly changing and she did want to make a "female lead" project that didn't pan out and she coopted to the "Man's World" excuse, but I just don't blame her. It is an endless work of scheduling and business behind the scenes; if we get to see 10% of it, it's already too much. I think Marina always struggled with the "label politics" in different degrees; from the "I bankrupted label lol" joke from Electra Heart days to "I had to pay for all the visuals + mixing" on Froot and then the retroactive "lol remember label resistance about it?" when Bubblegum Bitch went viral, so I can imagine she just didn't bother. Personally, the fact she managed to squeeze and bring 4 songs with a Female Producer already shows more sincerity and goodwill than... most of the discourse that people bring. - As much as I dislike L+F, recently I've been trying to revisit it. It's just clear that she was aimless, but there were some great songs through all these sessions; many of them left on the cutting room for some awkward reason: "The Art Of Letting Go", "There's Nothing Wrong With You", "If It's Worth It", "Water Under The Bridge" and "Please Don't Call Me" are all better than True, Superstar and others. They're all part of BasicBop Category but at least they're somehow personal and doesn't sound AI generated before AI was a thing?? Coming from FROOT was always going to be difficult and she clearly was trying to just evoke "God just ONE MORE hit" with L+F, so it would have been better if she went full Popstar mode instead of the half-hearted concept about emotions. A "Crash Moment", if you will.

I don't think too much about this being a "posthumous" release because it's being worked by people really close to SOPHIE and clearly aware of SOPHIE's wishes. Like... I don't think the label + brother would just slow down Reason Why for no goddamn reason nn, unless Kim Petras &/or BC Kingdom requested so they could re-record. We also know many of these songs were played in higher tempo (same case as Sunscreen) so it just makes sense that SOPHIE had the final product a little different from what we heard before.

I see the Hype has calmed down but that motherfucking ugly picture which is literally blurry??? coming from a Live performance, the new Logo (which looks Baseball inspired) at the corner, "exclusive news"... it's giving Tour announcement + Pre-Sale sign up. If it wasn't for that random "We're not touring stadiums and just taking the money" comment, I'd be 100% sure of a small 4/5 stadium shows + festivals happening, especially with some other random ramblings that are happening...

I agree with all of them + Pretty When You Cry to be honest. Of course they're all amazing but like... she's been doing these nonstop for years now. I think Summertime Sadness maybe holds some extra weight since it was ""a hit"" and she seems to be very very very found of it, so it could stay but the others...time to change these. The Born To Die (album) trim needs to happen. I mentioned this in another thread the other day but after Norman Fucking Rockwell she got a second weave of fans and admirers, there's no need to be doing Born To Die, Summertime Sadness, Video Games and then +1 extra album track. I'm glad she cut Blue Jeans already, but the title track (or Summertime Sadness then) should get the chop.

What is she doing recently?

As much as I don't really "care" for the book thing, I found it quite... amusing? in a shocking way? the one she shared on her Instagram some time ago. I don't remember her ever being so open about her life, even with music. If she's really digging that deep, maybe Music will be very interesting as well.

It's been SO LONG... if only. Would shake earth to its core

taste

I think I've been here for over 10 years and created like 3 threads my whole life so I'm indulging. At first I was going to do this as a Status Update but this is my Lans Tots so: I'm bored and celebrating Ultra10th and decided to think of a tour that could SHOOK us a little. Trying to reutilize just the best moments of the recent shows/Coachella Tour with same stage setup and a B-stage. Lana Del Rey Stadium Tour 2024 1. Doin' Time 2. West Coast 3. Tulsa Jesus Freak (Fishtail Outro) 4. Summertime Sadness 5. Brooklyn Baby -- Ride Intro/Montage -- 6. Ride 7. Cinnamon Girl (on swing) 8. A&W (full) 9. Peppers (featuring choreo) --Burnt Norton- 10. Chemtrails Over The Country Club 11. The Grants 12. Get Free (Band extended) - Lana walks towards B-Stage located in the back of the standing zone/general admission with barricaded corridor. -> B STAGE 13. Terrence Loves You 14. Thunder 15. Mariner's Apartment Complex 16. Margaret/Paris, Texas (medley) 17. Taco Truck x Venice Bitch (going full Album Version/Guitar solos) - Lana walks out to greet fans and back to Main Stage. -> MAIN STAGE 18. Radio 19. Video Games 20. Old Money (Bridge + Chorus acapella only), featuring the SNL Hologram. I wanted to try to pick up some strong fan favorites while also giving the spotlight to Ultraviolence (10th) + Tunnel; which means that we have classic after classic. There's no arch or theming about the songs tbh, but the show starts a bit more rock-ish and choreo, with a bit of cynicism and goes into band-jam/free/jazzier mood. Other songs I considered while creating but opted to cut; Gods & Monsters (closing the third section), Music To Watch Boys To, Young & Beautiful (replaced by Taco Truck x Venice Bitch). Share your thoughts and whatnot!

"releasing more lizzy grant songs" and what lizzy grant song has been released?? Yayo 12 years ago?? Girl you just posted Pawn Shop Blues on your Insta Reels half a decade a go as well, that's not releasing!!!
