I sometimes think it would be helpful if we had two threads for the new album - one being a facts thread and one being a speculation and wishes thread. It's really hard to keep up, like, for example, suddenly there are 20 posts about greatest hits, so I read 2 pages of posts back to see what it is about (just to find out it was an idea). The answer to the question about why this thread is hot (Henry is coming) was a joke I guess? 😅 Nice, but without a smiley hard to get without checking the last posts of 2 pages to see if there is indeed anything about it. 

 

To sum it up:

Thing is you always see it's hot, you get excited, you even see posts talking about "news" which are actually either speculations, wishes or jokes, but you need to read between 2 to 20 pages to find out. It's disappointing (because it wasn't a fact) and it's getting tiring. Maybe two threads could be a solution? 😊

Well to be fair the off topic posts making fun of the tweet and the recent ‘greatest hits’ discussion shouldn’t have happened here and I’m going to move them to random/lana conversation to tidy it up in here. 
 

With as little news as we get I think one thread for both fact and speculation is enough since we get about 2 new pages a week so there isn’t that much to keep up on

yeah and that's why it's suspicious to me and I've started thinking that maybe these songs (tough and in gods time) were somehow supposed to be on chemtrails cause he's been working on cotcc and maybe its the same thing like nfr outtakes which she released on cotcc

my delulu at its finest

 

well no, Tough’s verse and chorus was written around November of 2023, and was shown to Lana by Clay in January of this year. It can be easily assumed that In God’s Time was also written around that time, since it shares multiple writers with Tough.

idk if a lead single would make sense this early, as tough is still streaming well

idk, if it is coming out in September/October this is right on schedule

Who is that/why would she be involved with Lana 

I did see the post so that’s interesting! But does she have any connections to Lana?

is that a reliable insider? i never take twitter "insiders" seriously

No not really. They do post some accurate info (and they usually own up when something they say is wrong/doesn’t happen) but a lot of times the info is mostly stuff that could have been easily guessed if you’re following the fandom at all

Like one insider (not PInsider) tweeted “Lana - This summer” a couple of months ago, then tagged Tough’s release picture when it was announced, but literally anyone could have ‘known’ were getting something this summer so it’s mostly just lucky guesses. I don’t think many of them have actual inside knowledge

YES omg they literally said lana’s still dropping this autumn  Nd it’d also make sense for her to record a music video then if something’s actually dropping august/september

I think the first video has already been shot (the one she teased in June) and this will be the second video she puts out!

Also, I’m not sure if it was reported, because I haven’t been online a lot. That twitter insider (PInsider, the same one who said she was shooting a video in the fall for a new song) also reaffirmed about a week or so ago she was releasing this year. (I’d pull up the tweet but they seem to have deactivated their account again)

Honestly a week notice for a the single, it dropping in August and then the album the following month is following the Honeymoon print, and I think that’s the best case scenario.

With tunnel being delayed in January after getting an official release date, I’m more than happy with only a month or two (because I still the think the album is going to be released in October)between announcement and album!

plus Tough isn’t even a month old yet and is still fresh in my mind, so I don’t need a new Lana song currently 

I believe, but they also said they didn’t want to hype us up so I’m also not expecting anything major 

Need @hotshot2am to comment

The RNC is trying to sue Biden so he can’t drop out 

they know anyone with half a brain debating Trump is dangerous to their whole platform

He literally got shot and seconds later got up and said keep fighting. Everyone who has eyes and ears has seen this. You can’t pin him as an old man after that, but that’s obvious.

He wore diapers to his court cases and fell asleep while Don Jr was speaking at the RNC. 

On the flip side, Trump is now the oldest nominated person in American history, so Democrats need to be fast to make that the headlines and sleepy Don him to death like republicans did to Joe

absolutely! terrible timing and he should've done this forever ago but here we are. i still think we need them to either enact 25A or he needs to resign so she can prove she can do it and i think that right there would take her to a higher percentage for election. it'd take the unsure votes and independents who aren't sure who to pick once they see she can take up the mantle 

That was my very first thought too!
 

I think if he steps down/is forced down and she steps up and does the job for 3 or 4 months, then it will seem more like Americans are choosing to keep her in office vs electing her, and while it’s basically the same thing either way, I can definitely see the 60K middle ground Americans who are on the fence being more accepting of it. 
 

I just don’t see America electing our first female president any other way. A woman is going to have to prove and show she can do it before they vote her in. (And no, I’m not saying I agree with this mindset but I definitely know how the average American thinks)

America is as misogynistic as it is racist, and Kamala is going to have a STEEP mountain to climb to get half the approval a vanilla white man would get. 
 

I will say, her post RNC speech was really good, but I just worry about the optics this is going to bring to the more undecided voters. 
 

Of course I know I’m voting for an administration not just one person, and I think any Democrat’s administration will be better than the MAGA/P2025 loyalists Trump is going to bring, but I feel an alarmingly high number of Americans don’t realize just how much is at stake here

It's really not as bad as it might seem. This was necessary to give us a chance to keep the country away from Trump. Biden was never going to win. 

I just think Biden should have done this months ago, because whoever ends up getting the nomination is going to have their work cut out for them to campaign heavily for 3 months, especially while Trump has been campaigning for years now

it was absolutely the right move, but the timing is awful

This is a disaster. 
 

Democrats have been unified for years and now, 3 months before the election, they decide to scramble and mess everything up 

Happy birthday to my forever favorite Lana album 

this album had such a strong presence in my life in 2017, where every single moment with this album was tied to an event in my personal life. I’ve never, in my life, had an album where every single moment (from leaked songs, to instagram snippets and single releases) can be tied to a specific event so vividly. 

from day 1 I’ve been the biggest LFL defender, and I always will be! It’s a fun record that, as an American, truly captured the anxiety of living though the early Trump times. It might not be as deep or realized as some fans want from her, but while every artist was shying away from the political events/tensions, Lana embraced the anxieties and reassured me that other people were also feeling those same anxieties.

From the way of her more or less regular "mandatory" postings, I think her social media presence, especially on Instagram, was or still is controlled by her label, as with most other artists (like she has to post one time a week or something). Just google "branding".

agreed 100% 

I do think it’s *her* posting but I have a feeling she is mostly given something she has to say/do

With as many alt accounts of hers that have been discovered over the last decade, I’m sure she’s posting what she wants to post on an account not known by a single fan. 

HBTB came out in August and Honeymoon came out in September. 
 

Tunnel was announced in December and still managed to get a delay in January. I think Lana’s team realizes that they shouldn’t officially announce anything until they can be absolutely sure of a release date. 
 

tbh I bounce back and forth on if I think it’s actually coming this year. It’s possible it could be an October release, but admittedly I’m starting to think it’s not coming this year. A lot of projects have been announced for September, and are getting their singles now. Lasso being not mentioned at all makes me think they’re just waiting out all the releases this year.

damn I never realised that we had to wait THAT long for Ultraviolence, it didnt feel that long tho 

*edit bc my timeline was way off*
 

It really wasn’t that long, we got paradise in November of 2012 and then Tropico a couple of months later, then there was the wait for West Coast April of 2013 2014 and the UV June of 2013 2014. So it was ‘long’ but it was the normal year and a half wait between Paraidse and UV

Oh I definitely think we are getting something before the end of the year but I'm not sure that something will be lasso I never had much confidence in it unfortunately even though i really wanted it

Jack called Lasso fucking brilliant so I have hope she won’t scrap it. If she was the only one who talked about it I’d be more unsure, but Jack doesn’t seem the type to talk about a project that doesn’t exist. I’m personally really excited to hear her sessions with Luke, Henry Come On has been in my head since she previewed it. 

Just now, ComebacktoCalifornia said:

I love the optimism

I think it's dead and buried unfortunately

I'd love to wrong though

Y’all really love to let a little silence destroy any hype you have 

She just posted those BTS pictures a couple of weeks ago (that weren’t in the Tough video!) so obviously she is planning/shooting things still. Just because she isn’t telling us her every move doesn’t mean she isn’t making any moves 

I’m still a September or October believer!! If it’s September 20th like that insider said months ago I can see the preorder sometime this month, and if it’s October I think we’ll get the lead next month! 
 

she typically only has 2 or 3 months between preorder and release

I'm always really interested in the difference between the Lanaboards reception of a song vs. the general public reception of a song. Tough is doing so well on streaming and with more casual listeners (and TikTok stans), but a lot of people on LB have already moved on because of the new leaks

I think the problem is people on Lanabaords are more likely to like her more deep cut/slower/more personal tracks, while her more upbeat songs have always been the ones that click with the GP.
 

Personally I’m more a GP listener where I do appreciate her deeper songs but I’m way more likely to gravitate towards her more fun tracks
