I don’t necessarily agree that the trailer we got in December was the album trailer. That very much seemed like a music video trailer and preorder announcement. the same thing as the White Dress post last week, that wasn’t the album trailer either it was a snippet of the music video. I don’t care one way or the other if we don’t get a trailer, but the two previews she has given us don’t count as an album trailer

not Chemtrails that’s for sure!!

I don’t think she’s satisfied with it either! She said for Interview magazine she wasn’t completely happy with it, and nothing has been done to the songs we’re getting since then (minus dealer and adding Yosemite). For Anne’s show she said she didn’t get where she wanted to go and the destination was ‘TBC’. I’m sure it’s going to be a beautiful album because she was completely happy with the songs, and was ready to submit them in May when she wrote QFTC. Something happened BTS that made her less satisfied! I don’t think the American Standards album exists anymore. She expanded that vision and now has two cover albums featuring two different genes! And while I agree she should have put it out, I don’t know when a good time would have been to do so. When she announced it in November it was one album.. by December she was planning on dropping the title track and video early January. When she made the announcement in January it wouldn’t have made sense to release one or both of the albums since her ‘lead single’ was on its way. She couldn’t really release the albums in January or February because that’s cutting it super close to the album. I think she’ll release one or both albums throughout the summer, depending on BTIG’s final release date

January 5th on Instagram she confirmed she was compiling the next poetry book (aka end stage of putting it out) and she’ll “be gone for awhile” while she finishes it up! Her original plan was to release this album as a surprise with ‘little fanfare’ so I’m not surprised she isn’t revealing too much. And I like the mystery and it’s making me more exited for the record

I definitely think it will be! I also think it’s for the best we haven’t gotten a lot! During NFR’s prerelease, having a song teased in January of 18 that didn’t get released until August of 19 was exhausting and made the song feel extremely dated and old by time it finally released...the fact that we only have 2 songs, a snippet, and a live performance really makes this album feel super fresh on arrival! And the whole album is covered in a veil of secrecy! the fact that I know she’s recording and expanding her sound and vision is enough for me, even though I fully understand other people don’t have that perspective

I can’t believe two weeks away and she’s only teased one snippet, we have no album trailer, and we have no 30 second snippets of the album. I have a strong feeling we’re going to get something between today and Tuesday. either another preview of WD with the March 12th release date, or the album trailer (featuring some scenes of the White Dress video and probably snippets of COTCC, LMLYLAW, WD, and TJF)

The album is not being delayed and I’m gonna need all of ya’ll to keep that negativity to yourselves She would never delay an album two weeks before the release date. She warned us she was going silent and the only reason Feb 26th was so traumatic to everyone is because you clung onto unconfirmed rumors and one website. If the website hasn’t been discovered, Lana’s post last week teasing White Dress wouldn’t have struck such a nerve. breath, we have 13 (basically 12 at this point accounting for NZ release day, and even less than that accounting for the inevitable leak the week leading up to the 19th) days left and we’re just getting antsy. But no. No talk of it not coming out the 19th.

I don’t want to contribute to the “what’s wrong with Charlie” talk since we don’t know a thing about him and his personal life but I do have to agree he looks..rough. In his last video he posted ‘6AM business calls’ whoever was talking to him seemed very concerned about the 27 club and told Charlie to “be careful” I hope whatever (if there even is) is going on gets okay for him!!

I mean the MOJO magazine described them both (one country and one folk) she was clearly just experimenting with different sounds and I’m team Delulu and I think eventually we’ll get the albums. I’d rather have 2 polished cover albums than one rushed one. And she just announced in January she was starting the compiling process and she’s signed to S&S she can’t just not release it, and I think it’ll be soon I mean I’m sure she’s getting her coins from the 20,000 album variants she has for COTCC. We should be happy she isn’t rush releasing projects just to earn a little extra money, and I’m sure the rollout for the cover albums will be like any other ‘side’ project she’s worked on

im sure her team was aware of it and maybe that helped push the decision to do a slight delay. Although with Lana’s fanbase I don’t think it really matters when she releases. She drops something and it gets a lot of people talking

she’s not to lazy to re-record songs and she didn’t fail at the American Classics. She has not one but two cover albums already recorded While releasing an album in two weeks and a poetry book soon The only thing we should be negative about today is the fact that we should have the album today

This has felt long the longest week in a long time. I’m getting worried about the next two weeks I’ve been calm and time has been flying but I feel like now the next big thing to happen for me is this album coming out so it feels forever away

Even after her official announcement of her upcoming silence via Instagram on January 5th, I’m still completely shocked how silent she is this close to the album coming out. Like sis promo yourself your fans will eat it up

she always does the second she has one! If she had went on IG live three weeks ago and said “White Dress Feb 26th” I would have laughed and moved on knowing it wasn’t happening. When she announces something, she does announce it. (Even LMLYLAW since she did mention it before it was released in America). Next Thursday she could post the single cover on Instagram and say “song out tomorrow” she hasn’t announced a date because likely they’re still working on it

This was a lot harder than I thought it would be! 1. Tulsa Jesus Freak This because it was the og title track at one point and reviewed positively by Lana and that snippet is amazing 2. White Dress I think the Lizzy reference and looking super inward is going to be defining 3. Chemtrails Over the Country Club 4. Wild at Heart Chemtrails is definitely top tier track and WAH exploring the same theme makes me think the soundscape will be similar also. And I like the inward looking of ‘I’m not bored or unhappy’ 5. Breaking Up Slowly I’ve been waiting for this since she premiered it! The melody is super cute and catchy and the message hits a little to close to home 6. Yosemite With LFL being my favorite album, any LFL track is more than welcomed! I was super disappointed when this ended up not on the tracklist 7. Dark But Just a Game Excited for this one, with the title and description it could really go two ways. I will say I hope Jack’s quote isn’t a lyric (Falling down the rabbit hole while smiling (or however it went)) I find Alice In Wonderland references slightly overdone. 8. Not All Who Wander Are Lost I already love that quote and meaning behind it, so I’m also really exited about this one. I can see more Bible imagery being referenced here (I once was lost but now am found) 9. Dance 'Til We Die While I like the positivity and meaning behind it I’m not super into when she gets super aware (And now I’m singing with Sean, I've been covering Joni and dancing with Joan) it makes it a little harder to relate to (if that makes sense) 10. Let Me Love You Like a Woman Really cute album track, but so far if just seems the least appealing to me. Not to say I don’t like it but I’m the context of the album 11. For Free I’m not not excited for this one, it’s just one that will be a cute skip after my first inial rush of ‘new album!!’ runs off

Excellent news!! I’ve been saying they should do an album together for quite awhile now! She seemed really in her element in Summertime and I really hope the two cover albums are eventually released! (She could even ‘fan gift’ drop them throughout the year) I really think Mojo was hinting at something since the last quote they used was lana saying “somethings brewing” she probably is purposefully not mentioning it this time around

I’ve never thought about Dealer being done after the majority of Chemtrail songs In my head I always thought of it as done way before (like around California). I love the idea that she didn’t include it because it really is going to be on the next record

We get one when she announces the next record! The last two times she’s mentioned a new album almost immediately (She talked about Bartender a couple months after LFL and LMLYLAW a couple months after Norman) and at the end of Moio magazine from December she said she has “something brewing” so I’m sure by the time the album releases she’s going to have at least a grand idea of how the next album is going to sound (plus she told us in the livestream in November that she’s always recording) something definitely happened! I wanna say Violets taking over the September release but there was still no reason the album couldn’t have came out at least Dec/Jan like she said at the book signing. I know it’s her own business and means nothing to me but I’m still curious

I’m still so curious of what went wrong last year that led her to want to change the whole album. On May 21th she posted QFTC. “Officially” announcing COTCC. she was planning on submitting the album mid June to gear for September 5th release and we know she had all the songs mastered by July, with insiders saying there was no reason for the hold up. I wonder what happened BTS with Lana that made her so against releasing the album in the state it is

let’s stop comparing two albums in the chemtrails thread after we just got the thread shut down yesterday for going so off topic

I’m definitely going to listen to the song next week if it drops it’ll make the week leading up to the album more exciting because it’s like getting Chapter 1 and 2 before really getting into the rest of the book!

next Friday is most likely when it’s being released still no official word at all though since her post 5 days ago (that, admittedly, had no word either)

I mean the intro and some of the instrumentals are super similar, but not enough that I would accuse her of plagiarism. There’s only so many ways you can arrange the same chords with the same instrumentals in a ‘ballad’ style and not have similarities. But I’m not gonna lie I really had to search the song to see if whoever uploaded the TikTok sound used another song or if it really was LMLYLAW slightly edited

Like I feel like we forget no matter how long the delay was, Lana once thought of these collection of songs as album worthy. She recorded, finished, and was happy with, these songs in July. She was shooting videos and hiring hair and makeup in July (she tagged them on the truck pic we got), and the vision was set. she overthought it and suddenly the songs weren’t good enough but she was at a stalemate since Jack couldn’t work with her for whatever reasons. we truly are getting her best album

I think it was the album cover for the album if we had gotten it September 5th, her ‘og’ vision before she overthought it and wanted to change things. it was probably gonna also be part of a video for TJF that Charlie was shooting when we got the snippet
