The only thing I want from HM besides the good music are more Videos

Her type of music is the the type you can't really perform.
Imagine her running around the stage being high energy while she's singing Ultraviolence. It just doesn't fit.

The only thing I want from HM besides the good music are more Videos

tbh, I don't really care about promo.
Like the music will stay the same music even if she will get 1# all over the world.
The only 1 important thing is how *YOU* feel when listening to the music, you don't have to care about *OTHER* people who are listening to it.
Promo does not change the way music is.
That's why the promo isn't that important for me.

Kill Kill > Ride > Cruel World > Born to Die

Lana is mainstream, yes. "Sadcore" is just a sub-genre of music. For example, you can have a mainstream rap artist. The genre of music they perform and create is rap, but they are mainstream (chart success, widely known, played on radio, big record-label, etc).

It's interesting that no one Talks about Ride

And she seems to be perfectly fine with that.

Maybe she made a LDRAKALG 2.0

I'm a Sad Girl but I wanted to be Pretty When I Cry

Dark Paradise
I'm totally happy with it.
Summertime Sadness would be good too

I'm happy with the level of fame Lana has now and the weird middle ground she's in of being not fully indie or mainstream. The thing is she sells as many albums and can fill up huge venues like really mainstream artists with a ton of radio hits. So for now, the label lets her get away with not doing promo since all they care about is money. I think it would be nice for her to have another top ten hit like Summertime Sadness, but I don't ever want her to be the type of artist who's constantly being played on the radio like Katy Perry. Lana already hates fame as it is, so I don't think it would be good for her to become massive. And fame changes artists.
 
I would like her to have another Rolling Stone cover, a Billboard cover, and an online campaign to create buzz around her videos and songs. I guess one TV performance or interview would be nice, but I can't think of any show where Lana wouldn't look out of place.

I see now that Honeymoon is really important for her career

I read somewhere that she gained A LOT more fan from the release of UV, which is similar to how indie music industry works - good music, more fans.
 
But the popularity that we are talking about here is the 'viral' one - which Video Games/BTD helped. Hence more promotion needed to help maintain that fame - similar to what Beyonce and Taylor Swift did. Hence all those sorts of big-budget videos and singles during BTD.
 
But the question here is: can one repeat that? or does Lana/Interscope even want that to happen again? That goes in line with what Interscope did because if they thought Lana can they would have forced more promotion for Paradise or UV - but guess what, they didn't.
 
The level of 'famous-ness' Lana is now is still able to maintain her popularity / have fans for at least the next few years. She is still way more popular than many indie artists with equally good music. And Interscope still give her more promotion - prime example here: Endless Summer tour with bigger venue than the last tours.
 
But to be honest, all I care about is her good music. And if she keeps making more good music, that's all I'm here for. And many people are probably have the same view to me.
 
And if by losing fans means losing 12yo teenage girls who hate UV cos it's a snoozefest then no one needs that kind of fans.

We need this thread for AKA, BTD, P and her unreleased stuff too

I clicked on all the positive and happy things and got


 
 
STRANGE!
 

Sad Girl
Infidelity is your middle name right now. Your first name? Sadness. You're pretty blue, it appears. That may or may not be your usual mood, but it's the current attitude you have about life. I won't tell you to cheer up, but you might want to go around and repair things with several people. It could make you feel better. Sounds about right 

The positive thing is that she didn't said that UV is her last album like she did with BTD or P.
I hope she didn't said that after HM is out

The more I think about a colorfull and fun album, the more I like this idea

Because an album is so much more fun when there are no music videos or performances on TV/Radio.
 
I'll never get people like you. Promo isn't just something you do for sales, it's also something which delivers a lot of cool stuff to your fanbase.

The good thing about it is we know when the Album will drop. It's better than we know when the first single arrives. I think the first single comes in June or July followed by a second in August and maybe promo singles

At least we get a new album this year
It would be worse if she would release it September next year.
Than she needs to promote UV with at least 4 Videos and 3 new singles.
 
Did we even know the theme of HM?
