THIS IS A POP EMERGENCY

cocc better be actually coming in September

missing this thread

All of Lanas records have an atmosphere except for Norman.

NFR’s atmosphere could barely be considered the atmosphere in a silent car

ur joking

we reached 600 pages...

honestly tho I hope she deletes her social media or at least moves back to her honeymoon account or something, this whole social media culture is messy and exhausting af, I feel for her.

 

Everybody just interprets what they want into her posts, it doesn't matter what she does, there is always someone complaining. And this pretentious "she should use her platform to spread awareness", "she should post donation links so ppl know what to do" or "her silence really says a lot" is ridiculous. What is this obsession and dependency with celebrities people have these days, since when does your social media feed reflect every part and corner of your political and social opinion. Everyone in- and outside the States knows what is going on, we don't need Lana to "spread more awareness" on this topic, it's all over the fucking international news. People all over the world are protesting, holding memorials and weirdly enough they got wind of it without the help of Lana.

 

Yes, it would shed a better light on her public image if she posted donation links etc. but what would it really change? If you as a private person really care enough to get involved, you shouldn't depend on a celebrities' instagram or twitter feed in the first place, the first logical reaction would be to simply google how and where to help/show support/donate. Donation links are shared all over the internet and y'all mad at her because she's not as visibly involved as you want her to be? Besides the fact one should always double check sources/donation links, since celebs are humans and also make mistakes/fall victim to scams. A bit of self-involvement is always required, Lana isn't here to serve everything you need to know on a silver plate.

 

If someone really is dependent on celebrities social media accounts to get informed about news and recent world events, the problem isn't a celebrity (Lana) not posting about it but one's unhealthy obsession with celebrities (and maybe the way of one own's media consumption). Lana is an artist, not a politician, social rights activist or human rights lawyer. It's not fair to judge and demand from her the same public engagement as someone who's doing it for a living or simply voluntarily chooses to be more vocal about it, it is not her job to educate people. And it's not her job to post every single thought she has, this social media obsession is getting out of control. It was already bad with facebook but Instagram and Twitter are making it worse, one is getting judged by their content on a frickin' APP. It's as if private thoughts, opinions and actions do not exist outside that social media bubble.

 

Stan or unstan her, support her or not but it's ridiculous to pretend this is not some form of ego satisfaction, wanting your fave celebrities to share your same values and opinions and not wanting to get disappointed by seeing the human behind that "celebrity" image. It's not about her and her political stand or more "awareness" (she isn't the biggest celeb out there, i doubt her massive impact), it's about how we perceive her and wish her to be, because in the end, we are all obsessed but none of us really knows her outside of the image she created for herself, with the content she shares. Leave her be.

are you leaving fifth harmony?

I said only yesterday, I can understand why she hasn’t said anything as people will jump on her....and this is exactly what has happened.

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

Such a BOP, i'm in love with this album. She really fed us (and at first listen I didn't liked it a lot, just as happened when UV came out hahahaha).

I read some people saying that she might take a break after the Chromatica era ends, and I believe she might do this.

 

go away

Well, i'm getting off of this. I hope things are more stable when I come back later.

 

Also, this George guy was a robber. Why should Lana say something about him? Just bc he died and was a poc? He pointed a gun to a woman!

Well, I just hope Lana's fine and that people here understand her pov. Period.

pls shut up lmao

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

i agree. i don't think she has a WORST album at all

i never understand the hate for LFL tbh.

compared to other artists, it's great

also i think it is cohesive. what i don't like about it, it's the production of coachella + god bless america. she could have done better there's a fan remix in youtube 

this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J81HW83AK1k

and it is so much better than the original, i could have been a great outro

 

i don't like summer bummer and in my feelings. and i don't like the asap parts in groupie love

but overall it's a great album. i know an album is great when i can't decide my favorite song from it. and i think it's her best lyrics album and i like the aesthetic too

 

and to add. she's never done a fully cohesive album excpet born to die + honeymoon

old money and black beauty are not sonically cohesive with UV

TNBAR and hope are not sonically cohesive with NFR

Yayo it's not cohesive with paradise...i looked for serene queen on youtube and did not find it

i and i looked for it on soundcloud and didn't find it too

did her team remove it?

is she going to re-produce it and release it on the next record?

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.

anyone who thinks LFL is her worst album is immature. hate to break it to ya

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

Chromatica dropped..and I've to say I've mixed feelings.

The lyrics are a mess..rhyming gaga with saga.. smh.

 

But the production is amazing. So groovy !

 

I want a dance album from Lana tooo hehehe.in future.

 

But COCC can have a pop theme too..or something like TOW. Or Old Money

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.

Just bring back the glamourous and cinematic sounds, serve us with everything we need and want.

And of course, include Life Is Beautiful on the tracklist.

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...

i'm speaking this out of existence 

why lol

what if the title track is a spoken word interlude omg...

i honestly really like both NFR covers. i used to hate the official one but it's grown on me so much. as for the UO one I don't understand why everyone dislikes it so much. it definitely serves the laurel canyon vibes of the album + some 90s witch realness a la The Craft.

why hasn't Azaelia said anything?

let's hope it stays that way
