It dropped the whole ‘surprise release’ thing because she announced the album plans. I’ll agree it was poorly poorly executed but she was very direct on the plans for the album then (as direct as one could be for an album that hadn’t even been submitted yet) I don’t see the 26th as some huge disappointment, because this is a lnk.to situation all over again. She never said “white dress out the 26th!” Her crazy (but awesome) fans are INSANE and search every corner of the internet for a crumb of detail and get their hopes up based on that.

If anyone watched the video she posted on September first where she flat out said they were shooting the Chemtrail video, and that was going to be seen after hearing LMLYLAW and still thought it was going to be out in 4 days then... “well of course we’ll see hear the song first! The album is dropping in 4 days!!!”

she didn’t explain it in huge detail, but she did. ”before you see this, you’ll hear Let Me Love You Like A Woman” so she announced the title track video, the pre single, and the rollout plan

its very similar because everyone was like “she said September 5th and she hasn’t said anything else yet so it has to be September 5th!!!!” Then she posted that Instagram video September 1st announcing the rollout plan and people still thought it would be September 5th and let’s not forget August when every Friday she was finally going to post the preorder And I was so team COCCTOBER I didn’t expect a 2021 release a clown. I was a whole clown

she teased title track September 1st and then again in October she does whatever she wants whenever she wants and it’s the kind of energy I wish I had

It’s such a sticky situation because with NFR we had 6 songs before the album came out and the entire album teased in one form of another and with COTCC we only have 2 songs, 1 snippet, and absolutely no idea how any other song sounds i would like to have White Dress, but I’m still just vibing with what we have

lana fans: OMG Ben hasn’t posted anything also Lana fans: who cares what he posts, it doesn’t matter Lana save us the gurls are getting antsy

I can’t at y’all saying this is the worst pre-release when NFR had album songs out a year before the album dropped with video footage that didn’t come out until over 2 years later I think there will definitely be an album trailer in March, she’s never not had one. Maybe March will be the month where we get White Dress first week, TJF second week, album third week. I’m team realistic but I still have hope!!

worst case scenario I kill all the hype, and she does drop the song tomorrow/Friday and I’m proven wrong! Which I’ll gladly take!! I just don’t like the vibe that occurs once something we think is going to happen, doesn’t happen. Eclipse said he’d tell us once he got confirmation and he hasn’t said anything yet soooo

I’m sorry!!! I’m just very team realistic and I don’t like how angry everyone gets once things don’t go how we want I’m not saying what I’m saying is 100% possible, I just use previous patterns and how she seems to handle things as a guide.. February 26th made perfect sense of the album was coming out next week, but with the very last minute push back, it makes more sense to keep the single for the week before to build up on the hype But it could go both ways since she ‘surprise released’ LMLYLW, but she was very vocal of when we could expect title track video and preorder and with her already teasing the White Dress video I don’t see her just randomly dropping it. And if it comes with a video, I definitely don’t think it’s gonna to be a midnight release.. it’s going to be more title track where it releases at a set time. I just really don’t think she’s going to leave us in the dark but just a game

If I recall correctly we looked at that site for FIILY/TG when google music had the advertisements and it gave the wrong release date then, too

I really think the 12th will be the day! Week before, just like the 26th would have been for the March 5th release

I dreamed about White Dress and it was beautiful and the melody was fantastic but I already forget how it goes I’m still not on team Delulu and I don’t think it’s coming out Friday, but we’ll know by tomorrow for sure! I just don’t see something as big as her second ‘big’ single being released like LMLYAW. I think there will be an announcement and hype leading up to it.

I have no idea, I haven’t used Spotify in years but I’m sure it’s there somewhere! Apple does the absolute minimum and if they include it, Spotify almost has to I really thought I would be at least in the 100’s tbh. I’ve only averaged about two listens a day and that is false

According to Apple, I’ve listened to title track 64 times which seems a little low to me, but I’m sure with practice I’ll be able to raise that number I can’t wait for my top 11 tracks of 2021 to be COTCC I can’t believe how close we truly are! I know someone posts a countdown 5 times a day, but we really are in the final run now! Only 5 days in February, and then were in COTCC month

that’s very possible because he also hinted it might come out the week before the album!

last he told us, he only heard the singles but the other day he told us the lyrics to TJF aren’t “don’t be afraid of our love” so he’s either heard more the record, or he at least has gotten submitted lyrics

I think there may have been a delay (assuming she did submit it end of October/around her livestream) that caused the ultimate March release date..we probably could have had the album January/February if there wasn’t a hold up but I’m still so amazed that she took that long to submit the songs. When she did the book signing in October she said December/January, but also hadn’t submitted the album yet. I really think she was just holding out on hope that Jack would become available and she could transform the songs and the sound she wanted Also still not over you all crapping allllll over the girl who talked about her poop on Instagram when she told us the album wasn’t coming anytime soon

Do we think the album is going to leak the week leading up to the 19th? I vote no, because the only leak we got from NFR was from cassette girl, we didn’t get a HQ leak. Also, it seems all the things her and Jack have worked on (albums and singles) have been locked very tight and don’t leak.

i agree, I love freak but the lyrics you pointed out and the ‘stranger than a stranger’ line both are very jarring in an otherwise good song and with West Coast she might as well have said ‘my love’ instead of la la because that’s what we’ve all been singing since it came out

she was probably waiting for Jack to be available to work on the sound she wanted to get to..I completely agree the songs we’ve got now are fantastic, and don’t sounds at all like demos (COTCC feels completely complete). I do like that she (probably) took dealer back to Zach to try to get back to the sound she wants I completely agree! i just really think that had a part in why it took the album so long to come out when she could have actually released all of this in September

I just wondered because she said she wasn’t completely happy with the sound for Interview Magazine. Then she said on Anne’s show she was upset that her and Jack couldn’t work on the songs and the sound she wanted to reach I’m not calling them a demo to be critical, i actually think the songs being untouched is a huge pro

I wonder if she thinks of the songs we’re about to get more like demos

Get your sleep!

I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to, it’s just what I do I completely completely completely agree!! She said on Anne’s show that she is realistic and always expects the doom (she used a word for it but I can’t think of what it was), and I’ve always thought that is part of her art! She’s almost always had the dark undertones so I’m super excited to see how she explores it this time!
