Well I hope there will be an intro to sunset because that song is too good to be so short.

We barely hear her. I hope we'll get the dolby atmos stems to properly hear her but even that might not be enough. Hers and Swift background vocals sound like they are intertwined. People have to stop teasing a Lana feature when we don't hear her. That's disappointing but I should know better by now. The song is cute, not outstanding tough. Don't know if it's been mentioned before but Lana has writting credits along with Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff.

The ooOoooOoooOoo vocalisation is so iconic that she texts it in the video. ICONIC. I love that song. Gonna replay it a lot. It is so different from her other work yet soooo her. Everything she touches turns into gold. ooOoooOoooOoo ooOoooOoooOoo

Didn't know Mike Dean was involved, I didn't recognize him. I think Lana might at least do a song. Would be great if it was produced by Mike and had a bombastic sound which would fit the scandalous nature of the show. BTD 2.0 would work. Yeah, I don't think she would be acting but a Cameo could work. It wouldn't ask for much involvement.

Hey you guys, Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye and Sam Levinson are co-creating The Idol, in which the singer will star as a self-help guru who develops a complicated relationship with an up-and-coming popstar played by Lily-Rose Depp. Lily Rose's Character's is supposedly inspired by Britney Spears but I think it's definitely inspired by Lana as well. The weeknd and Lana have always been vocal about Lana being the woman in Abel's work as well as Abel being the man in Lana's work. We all know about the cult leader in Lana's past. She mentions him in songs likes Ultraviolence. What struck me the most was when Abel says "Trust no one" which is something Lana has tattooed on her skin. I don't think it's coincidental. I even wonder if it's something the cult leader told Lana before she got tattooed. Even the Britney inspiration could come from Lana. After all Lana said Britney was an inspiration. I can definitely see some Britney in Lana's Born To Die era Lolita / baby doll / american dream aesthetic. So what you guys think about those connections ? It's been reported that both creators have been meeting Britney Spears (and supposedly even giving her a part in the show). Do you think that Lana is involved in the project or at the least have given approval for the inspiration ? Lana has a close friendship and artistic relationship with Abel and has been approched by Levinson for a song on Euphoria. I don't see her not being involved in this project on some level. I posted this in Lana toughs so we can talk about everything Lana related in the show. Another topic might be created in the proper area to discuss other aspects of the show.

Yeah I read that before. this is crazy how Lana won her over both as a person and as an artist. I'm not surprised she likes her. Especially after she covered Young and Beautiful. I loved her as a kid. Don't know what she or Evanescence have been up to recently. Kinda unrelated but the Ghost Lana in Barry's Riverside video reminded me of Amy Lee for some strange reasons.

I personally am not a big fan of some of Lana's covers. I would prefer for her to cover someone less capable than she is vocally and make the song better than doing less than the original performer. For exemple I've gotten used to her Nina Simone cover but I think her vocals being compared to Nina's don't do her justice. There is a lot of room for turning Britney's catalogue upside down and making it your own. This exemple is great. There are also a lot of cool covers of Toxic out there. I do agree tough that lyrically, there are not many of Britney's songs that matches the level of Lana's. But then again Break up with your girlfriend isn't singer songwriter material but it worked fine with Lana if only for once as a live rendition. I do believe she said multiple times she loves Britney, hence people anticipating a cover. I personally like to be surprised and discovering a song with Lana covering it like she did with For Free for exemple. I also like it if it fits the narrative of the album. For Free is not a revolution of the song, nor is it a better performance than the original but I believe it was rightly chosen for COCC so that was fine with me.

I like the odd combination in the beginning but in the end I think the clarinets should be as chaotic as the beat becomes to be coherent. I need to hear it more to get used to this direction but I already have tinnitus so don't feel like doing it right now

She literally invented artistic self porn. It's surely gonna become a trend on TikTok if isn't already. The song is immortal.

Isn't Lolita some kind of homage to Toxic. I mean I wouldn't be surprised if there a laptop Demo of that song with Lana singing over the bridge from Toxic Looped. But yeah, I'm wouldn't say complete cover of Britney would be the best idea, but who knows, she can surprise us with the result. Her songs are not worse than Break up with your girlfriend.

She's so cute in this video, especially the moments in that costume. Her face is at time like she's a child again

On first listen I am very surprised yet it is so Bjork. I'll need more listens to even know how I feel about it but it is very promising. I love the concept of the video. A rave party immersed in the fungus with queen Bee-york

This, Madame, is Versailles

I totally disagree. The only album of hers that I can't that much connect to is Volta. Vulnicura is Heartbreaking so I can't listen to it at any time but it's a masterpiece, as indigestible as it is. Utopia can also be hard to digest but still magic. My top of her albums right now : 1 - Homogenic 2 - Utopia 3 - Medulla - Vespertine - Post 4 - Vulnicura 5 - Selma songs 6 - Debut 7- Biophilia 8 - Volta I feel like the top 4 is perfection so that part of my ranking changes all the time. The rest is still very good. What a discography I hope we'll get something lighter than the last two albums but I'll still love it if it's a beautifully complicated and messy masterpiece.

Actually I agree. It looks Bjorkish but unlike most of her other artworks I don't like it at all. @Whore of Tropico's comment made me realise it looks like salad and ognion leftovers from a wasted burger. Thankfully it is for the single and not the album.
