Pico Ocean Boulevard

That and both the audiobook for Violet and Norman have 14 tracks.

I was just thinking (again), the poem we’ve heard from Violet has a soft Norman-like instrumental, so maybe if NFR and VBBOTG have a similar sound, maybe COTCC will have the kinda surf noir sound patent leather do-over had. As if each poetry album is like a closing chapter after the albums. Or for all we know, just that one poem (it was “happy” right? I can’t remember lol) has that sound, and it’ll be a gradual transition from NFR to VBBOTG to COTCC to BTIG–IFAI, starting from like a peaceful sound and getting darker and darker. That’d be cool. I’m just so curious since we have so much to look forward to and we have no clue whatsoever of what this album could contain and minimal ideas about the poetry albums to go off of.

July 28th. sept 29th. she didn't mention the album at all.. knew she was gonna get to the poetry first, just based from her posts and excitement towards it from before but. wonder when she's gonna start teasing/mentioning the album .. next slot would be, 2nd week of aug, end of 1st week? hmm 

also.. the amount of vinyls for the poetry book just gets me all anticipating for cocc's amount of releases 

I wonder if cocc is going to be as gloomy and introspective as her other works or go for more of a happy and upbeat vibe. I think the poetry is more gloomy and introspective so I’m interested to see what she does for sound with the album.

i wouldnt be shocked if LFA makes it onto the record

honestly, these days, it's dangerous to really be open and tender, especially without any ego protections. no pretenses 
and at the end of the day, mounds or trenches, don't we all just want a quiet moment to ourselves w the people, environment we want with us at home (wherever/whoever that might be?)

when shit's going on, all around you in life, busy busy busy. this record's a great refuge. and it doesn't go all Big Bang on you, but it's the soft little moments of wonder and realizations that make it beautiful. the production really aids the storytelling. soft drones, guitars. psychedelia, it's great to really unwind. and she mentioned at the start how the album's more like islands of refuge to collect and protect u from future events, so it's more introspective in tone. for some, people go about running from themselves their whole lives, regardless of intelligence n awareness. 

jeez if we were talking more danger, what's more dangerous than not being contented and grateful for ur life at someone's winter? I genuinely wonder if anyone'd be saying the same if we got info from the academy and what the critics were saying etc. 

regardless, this record was necessary, and really, without it, I think Lana would've just burnt herself out further, and we'd get somethings less than truthful. 

norman fucking rockwell, breaking down the ego
MAC, a song about being the bigger person 
venice: overcoming ones' self and envisioning ur future 
filly: feelings. admitting feelings for someone? that's FUCKING hard enough as it is. w life experience? still pretty difficult. if not moree.
DT: this one. it's like a reversion of herself for protection's sake imo
Love song: it is plain. but its stripped enough to capture the feeling of nostalgic love. once in a lifetime? surrendering. the taste the touch, the way we love. it all comes down to make the sound of our love song. quite literal, gets metaphoric, but also truer than true.
literally even says, "is it safe, to just be who we are?"
Cinnamon: touches on abuse. but also, growth from it. 
HTD: another song about disappearing parallel'd w being selfless. 
California: fuck its dangerous to be so fucking desperate, but she did it anyway. 
TNBAR: love relapse imo. 
TG: the realization and accepting that nothing's ever gonna be the same. 
Bartender: contemplation of her peers where she questions if what she really wants is still what she even wants. 
HiaB: cool down. 
hope: alright, she's processed. she's gonna keep going. 

definitely less outward than her past work, but solid enough, and even piercing norms/ shifting focus from the world outside, to the one already inside yourself. 

did she guise it with self refs, and caricatures of herself? I call that stripping and being made new. do u know how difficult it is to just be conventional, when ur not? like fuck. especially w all the bravado and chest pumping and the emotions wheeled from those motives. it's actually quite a strength to be soft and flexible, that while keeping true to yourself. triiggoo. this album's far from safe. maybe it's just of what we're used to in this day and age, but damn. the contrast of what it stands for already does so much. it's literally a counterpoint to what society wants of you. 

the point was to be subdued, introspective. do u know how annoying it is to have external forces, let alone chaos in ur mind from getting u to that point of self, un-manipulated, free state? overproduction would've diluted the emotion, her prime empathic conduit. regardless, it works bc simplicity is what it is. I feel like this record was her trying to have a conversation with shifting it back to how what some call boring, is actually peaceful. and we'd be so lucky to experience that honest solace. like, when ur really tired. ur just. tired.
even the most troubled souls can appreciate a sense of wholesomeness. some of the stuff on here's the closest she's gotten too so. 

really don't wanna reply but if anyone's gonna quote me, don't just pick. 

on topic, I feel it's a bit too soon for me to be guessing stuff, so i'm just gonna say I've been looking forward to what she's gonna follow hope up w next. 

This is our Lanaboards anthem!!!

I want a song that sounds like Is it wrong?
 
And the cover shot by Nicole Nodland

Follow the fleet of blacked out cars
Through the iron gates you'll find us
26 acres of diamonds and stars
 
Baby girls lay pretty behind their golden visors
Dreaming of riches, esaping normality
As the bachelors play poker under rich disguises
I begin to realise that this is not reality
And we watch our lives pass us by
Laying beneath the nuclear skies

Same, i love nfr but compared to songs from BTD n UV it seems so.. flavorless?? Just cute songs. Playing safe to appeal to the critics after years of slaunder for making unappropriate music

where tf am i gonna stream this damn thing

Homeless? She literally has super long lash extensions, acrylics, dyed eyebrows and freshly dyed hair. Wtf do you want? I didn't expect more and I genuinely thought she looked beautiful in the announcement.
Honestly she looked like that before Sean was well, I think she even performed in leggings once? The reason we're seeing more glam looks again is because she's starting to promote again, but as many have said it really doesn't matter.

But like this would be a lust for life 2.0 in that some of the tracks just wouldn’t go together - how would you make ‘hey blue baby’ and ‘roses’ make sense together? This would be a royal mess. We need a cohesive sound like btd ultraviolence honeymoon and partially NFR - we don’t need another lust for life mess ugh

#9 on overall Amazon US. Omg im so proud. Halsey is no where to be seen too

It's insane the difference some lashes make

Lana tweeted out about Violet & included a selfie, her first tweet in 2 months - 

I am surprised that by 2021, Jack and her will have put out four projects together, which is astounding.  
I agree with most of what you said, maybe not as much about her lyrics being safe on NFR (three titles had fuck or bitch in them. I agree that she doesn’t sound angry on NFR and is fresh out of fucks forever). I read in what she said about the culture that she feels her voice doesn’t have its place. I think she may receive backlash as being « not a feminist », if she sings about being incomplete after a heartbreak. I expect to see her vulnerability also, like on Hope, Heroin and Patent Leather, to see that she is a fragile woman, battling with sadness / depression from time to time. I’ m not so sure there’ll be « big fuck you » moments like there were on UV, though I’d be fine with those too.

I've been thinking a lot about what we should expect from COCC lately (obviously) and with her recent controversial post I feel like she's going to go in a completely different direction from her past two albums. 
 
I know she said the album will be similar to NFR but that was one year ago and, even though NFR is my favorite album, I think it's pretty obvious she needs more than the acclaim from the critics she's been receiving lately. To me, it's almost like she's starting to regret her choices of being politically correct in LFL and of playing safe lyrically in NFR and now she's had enough.
 
Remember in the Venice Bitch interview when she revealed the title of her new record was Norman Fucking Rockwell how she said she was feeling more playful creatively and taking things less seriously since she had started working with Jack? I feel like, two years later, she's coming full circle and starting to make art without compromises like she used to up until Honeymoon. 
 
And besides her boost of confidence, her and Jack seem to work really quickly together. The fact that she's giving us a whole new record and a spoken word album in a year is astounding.
 
Anyways that's all 

I'm sure she will release the first single of COCC one week after the audio album drops.... Save this post  
 
*Circus music-Again*

I’m sorry some of our users were rude to you, you’re right that you’re allowed to voice your opinions but like electra said, you could’ve worded it differently and I’m sure people wouldn’t have come for you. You’re not the first to talk about her weight and, honestly, it’s getting tired. People gain and lose weight. I don’t think it’s healthy to comment her weight, a potential pregnancy or her looks every time she shares a picture of herself. Also, there might be people here who are self conscious of their body and might get affected about someone’s words about Lana, even if it wasn’t directed to them. Not too long ago, I felt really uncomfortable reading someone’s comments here on LanaBoards. 
I think @mergirl/@Deadly Cruel Girl might’ve gotten too personal since they have sad memories of their siblings. Lana might’ve gained weight (I personally haven’t noticed anything but maybe I’m not scrutinizing her enough) but she’s not obese, and comparing her to Adele who’s been bigger for almost her entire career as a singer isn’t fair. We all care about Lana, but that means that we support her no matter how she looks and worry for her when it’s for a good reason. You guys are clearly worried about her now, but most of us aren’t. But don’t think we’re cold hearted either, we have written plenty of times about our worry for her smoking and vaping habits.
 
That being said, don’t think you can’t voice your opinions, but try to do it when it’s for a valid reason and to word it better next time. This time, you hit the nerve on quite many of us. This wasn’t the first time we’ve read negative comments about her weight and it sure won’t be the last time either. How come no one ever comments that she looks slimmer?
I do agree though that some LB users can have bad manners when they get upset, calling others bad words or telling them to suck a dick/kill themselves/etc is never really necessary. That’s something I’d like to see an improvement of.

Ask yourself if you would still stan if she actually was overweight (and to be clear, I don't think she is). If the answer is "no", then off you should fuck. 
 
No further comments. 

Good morning. Still nothing new on her webshop.

Watch Lana making the announcement one minute before midnight

Let there be COCC & VBBOtG bundle
:pray2: :pray2: :pray2:

As much as I love glamor lana, she still looks beautiful. In a different more humanly less supermodely way. She looks happy and excited about the book and that's what matters.
