she always posts like 5 things at once then dips for 2 weeks

yes that's all correct she actually said her next two albums will be occupied by movies which will be sequels to k-12 and she's already written half of the script for MM3 the cry baby music videos do have some insane amounts of views as well as the audios. alphabet boy, tag you're it, pacify her and training wheels videos were pretty underwhelming which i assume had to do with budgeting issues but i actually love mad hatter i think it's one of her best ones but didn't feel like it was worth a years wait. what you said a few posts back about the movie looking expensive definitely had to do with how massive cry baby was and how well the album and tour performed sales wise which is why i wonder if she'll be able to continue with these full length films considering k-12 only earned around 20% of the cost that went into making it and the tour had to get cut short so maybe she'll have to fund it out of her own pocket

this is exactly how i feel, snippets lead to expectations and disappointment. HIAB was better than i thought it would be once i heard the full song but then there are songs like white mustang where the snippet sounds great then the final song does nothing for me which was also the case for a few NFR songs the tracklist is always the most exciting part imo i hope the cover, preorder and tracklist are all revealed at the same time

concept albums are so tricky especially having to do a music video for 13 songs it always drags out for a long time and each music video progressively lacks creativity, gets cheaper and the audience loses interest. same thing that happened with cry baby happened with electra heart by marina, they both started out really strong then after about 5 videos a year or two goes by the labels don't want to fund it anymore and the fans want something new. the plot of k-12 is so useless like we get it you're going to school, the teachers suck, the popular girls are mean to you ... i wish she would've went more beyonce style where she just narrates over certain parts that lead into each song or even something like tropico that doesn't necessarily need acting or character dialogue but the story still makes sense i fear for the future of melanie's career and abilities as an artist when her label no longer wants to give her $6 million every time she wants to make a full length movie and decides to drop an album with no singles especially when the movie can barely crack $300k at the box office...

i completely agree with everything you said, the weak production and melodies definitely have to do with michael which is sad cause he made some really good tracks for CB (play date & pacify her) that's why it's important for artists to work with multiple producers on a project (not always the case though) cause one producer can only do so much like he literally made 20 or so tracks alone whereas cry baby was 16 tracks and she worked with more than 10 different producers/writers. she said in an interview recently she's looking for new producers to work with so hopefully she realizes that or maybe she just saw people complaining

ehh interscope has so many new artists lana is barely on the frontline of the label and they hardly prioritize her (which isn't a bad thing cause she doesnt seem to care) she's mentioned many times that she'll put out as many albums as she pleases whenever she wants which is quite incredible. most artists will put out a record every 2 or even 3 years with big labels but she hasn't stopped writing since UV. it seems like if she was a cash cow for interscope then they'd promote the shit out of her which is clearly not prevalent

so amazing that nicki was able to conceive a child all on her own

on the topic of her albums covers i thought born to die was supposed to be a reference to the movie blue velvet, lust for life seems meaningful too just because it's simple i think it symbolizes quintessential LDR with her standing in front of a car with the blue sky as the background but this time she's smiling because LFL was supposed to be the 180 of BTD also nfr's cover her face is clearly photoshopped too much i mean it's crazy how much it looks identical to her face on the BTD cover just with a different lip color

the poetry inside of me is warm like a gun is one of lana's best lyrics
