love deluxe

in my opinion, she's just gotten sharper in her observations of the world around her. she seems to have taken real time to turn not only inward but toward the world around her. i also just love that she's able to have albums like Norman (soft, gentle, and free-flowing) coexist with albums like Ultraviolence which are way more cinematic and lush.

honestly, I think everyone would be more pleasantly surprised with her albums if we all stopped having such specific expectations lol. high expectations are not the issue, but expecting her to make a record that sounds like Ultraviolence or any of her other records EVERY TIME is only setting yourself up for disappointment. Lets just go in blindly and hope that whatever she gives us is capable of standing as its own piece of artwork. There are valid critiques of NFR! and LFL but in my opinion, comparing them to her previous work isn't really fair.

her songwriting has gotten so much better since born to die i have no idea what you're all on about lol. i definitely understand people missing a more lush and cinematic vibe to her instrumentals, but lyrically she's only improved. and personally, i think Norman is cinematic in its own way. it feels more like an indie film where born to die feels old hollywood.

missing this show :'(

THIS IS A POP EMERGENCY

cocc better be actually coming in September

missing this thread

ur joking

we reached 600 pages...

are you leaving fifth harmony?

people were entirely justified in jumping on her though, and she obviously understands this or she wouldn't have deleted the post

i think she's just really unaware of the kind of consequences her actions have been bringing lately. while I don't think she is ill-intentioned, i do think she's showing her ignorance and privilege on full display lately. it's really unfortunate because i do think she has a good heart, but at this point it's clear she doesn't know anything about what she's doing. hopefully she can do right, delete the initial post, and just post a donation link on her story or something. it obviously wouldn't make things perfect again - the damage is already done. but i think the least she can do is TRY to make things right. she owes it to the black community and to George Floyd.

lana i love you, but please get a PR team

this is giving me anxiety

go away

pls shut up lmao

this is the most annoying and drama-filled thread I've ever seen lmao

an album being cohesive ≠ all the songs sounding exactly the same. the songs you mentioned DO have sonic ties to their respective albums. just cause hope is a barebones piano track doesn't mean it doesn't fit in with the rest of the tracks on NFR.

having an opinion on a body of art does not make someone immature but okay

you act like Gaga's best song doesn't rhyme Gaga with RaRa and RoMa LMAOOO

this album is kinda a masterpiece. i was slightly dissapointed on first listen... i loved it, but i felt like it needed to grow on me or something. but im on a second listen rn, and holy SHIT it's so good. godga is back.

you're a dreamer you dream a lot in your sleep

i feel like the album might have a very piano/strings based production but more lush and cinematic than NFR. more ominous and haunting. like that song she did with barrie, riverside.

her live shows definitely... vary in quality. the one i was at (Sacramento, October 2019) it felt like she put a lot more effort in. it was also a way smaller more intimate venue and i was pretty close to her.

sour candy very bad...
