    It's been a fantastic year so far for Lana. An acclaimed album with a great debut and it's still in the charts, the release of Say Yes To Heaven with her biggest debut on Spotify, Born To Die, Ultraviolence & NFR! smashing on streaming, and big festivals in many countries, let's hope she does her best and people praise her shows. :flutter:

    It's not an Ocean Blvd Tour so I don't know why some of you are surprised that she's singing her most known songs. :rip: 

    Artists on these festivals usually do popular tracks and fan-favorite ones + add 2-3 songs from their recent album which seems to be the case for Lana as well.

    Unrelated but I do want to say "the label" did not make her do anything. Lust For Life was her decision

    Maybe it was her, but she definitely saw the reception for Honeymoon from the general public and decided to make an album for fans and write more uptempo/poppier songs. She even worked a little with Max Martin.

    Why are you refusing to acknowledge the change in her lyricism  :gasp:  I love Lana's new music so much but her lyricism changed drastically after Honeymoon and there isn't really any way to deny that. She started being more "direct"; according to her it was because she felt like she had finally "told her story" after HM was out, and she was ready to move on to new things. Which is sort of what she tends to say after every album, until she realizes she has more to say. I agree with you about the GP not rly having taste but SYTH isn't uptempo at all and Lana sings in her "old" style in it. You can't rly deny that..
     

    Now is that necessarily what led to this songs popularity? Nobody can know for sure. But I do think it's a very logical guess, that the GP loves Lana's "old Hollywood" singing style that she uses on songs like SYTH

    I mean, her songwriting style has definitely changed, but I don't think that's the main reason why some songs get a lot of streams and others don't. You can sped up a song and the GP will just vibe with it, it's just needs to be midtempo at least. A lot of post-Honeymoon songs are getting viral on TikTok too.

    Also, Honeymoon is my all-time favorite album, so don't come for me when some of you will read about it being a flop. It wasn't deserved!! :oprah3:

    I think we agree why they flopped but have a different idea of “uptempo” lol… cause the only truly uptempo fast pop songs on btd and Uv to me are ottr, dmd, west coast (barely…) and florida kilos. Most of Lana’s songs are mid-tempo. 

    Yea lol, I meant that by Lana's standards many songs could be classified as upempo, although in reality they are not. :teehee:

    And I'm actually surprised how well SYTH is holding so far, because this version is so dreamy and more slow. But some fans use the success of this song to express their unhappiness with the new material and pass it off as a proof, which to me is silly.

    Look at the top 10 of Billboard Hot 100 and try to not make this face again. :makeup2:

    I think you are specifically focusing on the “cinematic” part when that’s not the entire point. It’s the overall style of lyricism and atmospheric production that has been switched out for diaristic wordy lyrics and sparse understated production. Honeymoon literally flopped because at that point it was considered to be the most stripped back album of her career lol (I love honeymoon though) not because it was cinematic. 

    Honeymoon, Chemtrails and Blue Banisters are all "stripped back" records, so maybe you'll see my point then and why they flopped. It's not the style, but the amount of uptempo songs on each album. The GP is dumb and doesn't care about lyrics etc.

    Ok and remind me what era those songs are from:blush3: The only post-2019 songs that have gone semi-viral are dealer and A&W, which are her most “old lana” sounding songs. I honestly do not care that much about this but I think it’s so silly to act like this divide doesn’t exist? Just like what you like, and understand that people liking syth and old Lana music doesn’t mean that they want btd or uv 2.0, that was the point of my original post. 

    The most cinematic masterpiece ever aka Honeymoon flopped so hard on the charts that people stopped taking Lana seriously commercial-wise. The label even made her do all these collabs with rappers and more "poppy" songs, so this is really funny to me when someone tries to say "cinematic song = a success". It's mostly luck when something goes viral on TikTok. Before all of that Ultraviolence was doing 400k daily streams on Spotify, so anything can happen.

    transformed a little bit because there are some surf elements to some of the songs". She clarified the album was not "really surf-y like Dick Dale" but featured a lot of electric guitars with a little Red Hot Chili Peppers influence.

     

    one song- where were the others :awkney:

    Assuming she did not recycle the surf bridge from peppers 

    What do you mean with Peppers because you qouted her talking about NFR! :rip:
