She summarized her love life brilliantly by saying « You’re a hard man to love and I’m a hard woman to keep track of »

i think california was relatively old by the time it came out (well the whole album was but California was even older than most) so yeah I think that ship has sailed.  
It doesn’t sound like their dynamic was very healthy tho. Barrie seems like a sweetheart but he had/has some major baggage.

hahaahaha honestly kind of iconic how ruthless she is with her lies. doesn't matter who you are, no one is safe from lana's lies!

i always think ab this ... she lies a lot but this would be a new low for her lmfao

larrie honestly keeps me sane so i fucking hope she isn't done writing about him............. 
i just want them to be happy together

American Is On Flames ft Bruce Springteen.. Just imagine the two artists who most speak of a romanticized America, showing that in fact it is a fanciful utopia falling apart. Break the internet

Same! I do believe we will get the album on September 4 or 5, but at the moment, just a preorder or a cover reveal or a snippet would be nice, something to give us a hint of the album’s feeling. But I guess that if she posts a snippet, I’ll want a whole song haha! As long as she doesn’t overkill it like she did on NFR. LFL wasn’t so bad, in snippet comparison, though there was a lot of teasing of the last tracks produced for the record.

Summer vacation is not as busy for me, plus the whole pandemic situation cancelled any chance of a trip. Plus it’s fucking pre-release time!!!!! (Both the most wonderful and stressful time of year haha)
And thanks hun!

It was the initial title for the album, until it got changed to Chemtrails. And since she has never put out an album that didn’t have a title track, it’s safe to say that WHF is a song title... unless it was changed because of how the song might be perceived as “White supremacist”.

I was just thinking about this era and how it will be tough to get info outside of her, honestly : we don’t know if there’ll be single, if it will get airplay (this is where we learned about Doin’Time, when it got scheduled to play in the following days), if there’ll be a video (which we learn a couple days prior because of Eclipse). The tracklist for NFR and cover art were posted by her (thank God, her team finally learned how to secure her shit), so no obscure European site to leak it...

It was. And I can’t wait to see the tracklist, to see how much of WHF can still be found in COCC, or if it completely changed sonically. If White Hot Forever and Let Me Love You like a Woman are nowhere to be found on COCC, renamed or not, then she changed the project completely (and spoke too soon once more).

This thesis 

if she can give us an album where at least half of the songs sound like fiily / venice bitch / the outro to cinnamon girl I’ll be happy
honestly though imagine another Florida kilos.......... ugh I can only dream

the last song she did before this album was LFA. the last song for the last album was FIILY
 
i’m expecting something similar to those two, more guitar led and a good selection of drums

Honestly if she really comes back to that Hawaiian glam metal sound, its gonna be amazing. But lets be real. Its probably gonna be lana whispering to the piano instrumental.

Imagine if she releases Grenadine Quarantine while being on lockdown, how prophetic it would be.
Imagine if she releases Grenadine Quarantine while being on lockdown, how prophetic it would be.

this is exactly what I've wanted so I'm so glad that it could be a possibility 

this would be a dream come true!! i haven't even thought of all of this but it makes a lot of sense. 

I feel like there is going to be a strong surf-haze, dream-guitar and neo-noir feel to this record with a possible return to “Hawaiian Glam Metal” as a lot of Lana’s activity lately has been inspired by Hawaii.
 
1. For starters, she went to Hawaii with a large group of friends and family at the end of 2019. We know she is very responsive to place, her trip to Hawaii likely inspiring the next few points.
 
2. She followed a lot of accounts of families with new babies who happen to live in Hawaii, most notably @/ockeydockey; in a DM to her, Lana wrote “maybe it’s the quarantine that’s got me Hawaii dreaming”.
 
3. She posted a clip to Instagram from the movie “From Here to Eternity” which deals with the lives and romances of soldiers during the attack on Pearl Harbour in Hawaii. Perhaps the quality, technicalities and plot of the film will see half of the album adopt a noirish sound and theme while its location will see other songs sound surfy and summery.
 
4. Lana’s recent look with her blonde hair and long nails draw back to her Lizzy era when “Hawaiian Glam Metal” was her self-proclaimed signature genre. It’s safe to speculate that perhaps a surfier/noir sound on COTCC had her feeling nostalgic for the aesthetic and look she had at the time. We also see this reflected in her recent decision to don a pair of huge bamboo-golden hoops with words in the centre on her birthday, similar to ones she wore frequently in 2009.
 
5. In the second video of Patent Leather Do-Over Lana posted to Instagram (the one where she films herself walking down literal sea-cliff stairs), she can be heard saying in the background how the scenery almost doesn’t look like California, but rather Hawaii. The instrumentals to Patent Leather Do-Over are also quite hazy and surfy with their dreamy guitars, which may be an indication of the sound we will hear on COTCC.
 
6. It could be that FILY on NFR, being the last track recorded, was a jumping off point for more surfy songs, as we know Lana’s earliest versions of songs for a new record tend to be in a similar vein to the previous record, sonically.

not that it means anything, but I find it curious that she posted this in 2017

If she managed to record this album and finish it during lockdown she can god damn well release it during lockdown. So she best not play us

i think a title change has a lot to do with a new direction of sound, maybe white hot forever was the continuation of nfr she talked about but felt like that song in particular didn’t fit the vibe and new direction of the record, the original lust for life (best american record) obviously was a different sounding album than the final product and UV had a style change compared to the songs that leaked like black beauty which was way more rock than the pillowy demo.
 
lana always seems to go for the same sound as her previous record when she starts a new one but it always turns into something far different, for example the freak demo was very rock influenced and sounded like something off ultraviolence then honeymoon was completely different from that. the lust for life demo and heroin have that same feel, they both sound like something off honeymoon but the final product of lfl is not close to honeymoon at all so i think she’ll end up surprising us with whatever sound she decides to go for

everyone in this thread has such amazing ideas and concepts, we really are raising our expectations aren't we? 

I predict the title track will start as slow jazz and be about the beauty of a glamorous lifestyle, and then halfway through it will merge into something grungy with a darker and more sinister sound as we realize that impending doom is hovering over these rich folks, and life at the country club isn't all that after all.

NFR’s flower was a butterfly
