Good god my Apple replay 2021 is gonna look so messy. Between the COTCC album covers and each of these songs having similar, but all slightly different, vibes. It’s gonna look so messy
 
I’m really hoping this really is ‘just the beginning’ and we get a preorder soon

the music gives me the bride vibes so far 

not even her managers/team have acknowledged it 
 
Mike alone (and insiders) have done all the work so far

their looseness in production makes it easy to sing along to and move physically along to. it's potent and rustic. ww sooooooo fhuckin sensual. bb is very beautifully careful and tb is a sonically smoother coachella  

I know, I've been so caught up today with approving a slew of new registrations, making sure the site doesn't crash, and keeping a general eye on things that I haven't had a moment to even share my thoughts  Thank you for asking!
I think the songs are absolutely gorgeous. The insiders described them perfectly, they are classic LDR songs. I love how raw and personal she got with the lyrics, being so brave to share her story especially on things she hasn't previously spoken about. The melodies are also gorgeous.
Everything about Wildflower Wildfire kills me. I think that one's my favourite. I've always been a sucker for her higher vocals, and she executed them perfectly. I think her voice just keeps getting better over the years. The lyrics in this one are also incredible. So many "wow" moments for me in this song.
I also love love LOVE the jazziness of the verses in Text Book.. honestly if it wasn't for the chorus melody that reminds me of Demi's GYHAB, I think Text Book would've ended up being my favourite. I just can't help but hear the Demi song whenever the chorus of that one starts skkk. But again - so personal, so beautiful. Lana has a certain sort of magical gift when it comes to telling her story and stringing her words together into beautiful lyrics and melodies.
Blue Banisters is also everything I hoped it would be. It's sort of like Hope in a way where the simplicity of the melody and production just emphasize what she's trying to say in the very best way - and Hope is one of my favourites too. Blue Banisters makes me want to cry, and I'm sure it will one day when I'm in my sad girl hours.
I would say for now my preference of the three is WW > BB > TB although it's a tough call. I really do love them all, each for its own reasons. These tracks have me really excited for what's to come next. Whether these end up being tracks on the upcoming album or not, I love the direction she's going in. I can't wait to see what else she has in store for us x

@Elle I didn’t see your thoughts on the new songs! What did you think? 

Blue Banisters I'm 
The first chorus >>>>

If she does post on the anniversary of QFTC tomorrow, I think it would be a typewritten statement announcing the album. I don’t think she would address QFTC directly, but rather deliver some preamble for the record now that we have 3 songs from it. 

i thought this too... hopefully she drops a pre order, speaking of do we normally have some indication that a pre order is coming before its announced? like for past era's would all of the tracks have been discovered on shazam beforehand if it were coming, and like would the links be up etc? 

Another proof that it's Lana who decides how her music will sound.

Wildflower Wildfire is great because this is the most vulnerable and honest she's ever been. But it's just so funny to me that it's produced by Mike Dean bc it does not sound like it was at all.

I honestly wish she would have uploaded the album so I could easily listen to all three songs in a row. Having to make a BB playlist instead of just having them grouped under the album was a weird choice 
 

LMLYLAW was a buzz track

I get y’all wanting Mike Dean synths (because I sure do) but they wouldn’t have fit on WW at all, anywhere so I’m glad his synths are more low key. The song feels full and full enough to not need an added sound effect

“screaming Black Lives Matter in the crowd”

so like, what level of greatness are these tracks at... surely not shades of cool/west coast/cruel world greatness 

We're on the same page in this Text Book 

If BZ didn't hint us about this week and Eclipse told us what's actually happening we probably would have gotten a silent release because Mike only started teasing after the title got posted by Eclipse. Maybe she is glad that word got out and let Mike do the teasing so she wouldn't have to announce.

I had hoped it’d come with a preorder or something but I think this is for the best 
 
these are highly personal songs so I’m sure she doesn’t want to act all happy about them

nobody knows they’re out. She posted one Instagram post with no caption and then deleted it

I feel like the picture she first announced Blue Banisters is from the album cover/ is the album cover
