i did too much
There are multiple french translation but I tough I'de do my own take :
Lana Del Ray, alias Lizzy Grant
Nés pour mourir
Paradis
Ultraviolence
Lune de miel
Soif de vivre
Putain de Norman Rockwell!
Chemtrails au dessus du Country Club
Balustrades bleues
Saviez-vous qu'il y avait un tunnel en dessous d'Ocean Blvd
Some explanations for my choices :
Born to Die
I would favor "nés pour mourir" from "naître pour mourir" because it comes from the sentence "We were born to die" which I think is a sentence that encapsulate the whole album about doomed relationships.
Ultraviolence
Ultra and violence both exist in french and have the same meaning than in english. Plus Ultraviolence is most likely a reference to Clockwork Orange. I believe the word was kept as is in the french translations of the movie / book so I see no reason to change it here. Violencextrémiste is fun tough.
COCC
I believe Country Club is a cultural exception from the US. It seems that it's been imported in France, keeping the english name. There's even a french wikipedia page about Country Clubs. Same for Chemtrails, the concept was imported here with its english name and has it's own wikipedia page. Trainée blanche does work too if you believe that Lana didn't care about the conspiracy theory when choosing this word. She never mentioned it so it's hard to know if it was intentional.
I might be wrong on some of those things.
What do you french gals and guys think about those choices ?

A song from Rob's Lost at sea ?
She's most likely to promote that than Ocean Blvd

I'm not a big fan of him and I didn't like his cover of West Coast but I still liked the fact that he made it and made the song his own. The tempo change is still there, just more subtle.
I did surprisingly like his cover of Getting Older by Billie Eilish tough.

Thanks for this topic. I love her. Psychobomb was a very good album and I love Be sweet so I'm very curious about the album. I'm starting my listening now. The first song gives me Beirut (the band) vibes

I love this ! She should have used this picture for the cover. Is it based on an artwork by lanadelrey ? I may have missed it in the topic.

A few very kind members on here have told me I should start my own thread with my cover arts, so here it is! I appreciate all of your kind comments and support since I started posting my COTCC cover concepts! <3
I've included below the COTCC concepts I've posted in the pre-release thread!
Hi lanadelrey, I love all of your work. I particularly love those.

I'm so happy they finally got the chance to release it after 10 years of being sabotaged. This is definitely their best work (or maybe on par with Three) and it was a disgrace that they've not been able to share it with the world before.
2022 have definitely been the year of their return and I can't wait to see what they have in store for 2023 with a proper new release.
On 12/24/2022 at 12:29 AM, TrashMagiq said:I do wish Love In Stereo, Too In Love and Enough were included but either way the tracklist they went with is very excellent I'm very pleased
I'm so glad it has the version of Back in the Day with the sampleI was really saddened when love in stereo was given to Bananarama but I wasn't really disappointed by it missing on the tracklist because I knew it was no longer theirs to use. Appart from that I think the tracklist was perfect and flowed better than the one that supposedly leaked earlier (see spoiler).

15, Beat has GoneIf it's true, I think that both songs being missing allowed Metal heart and Beat has gone to be on the regular edition which I think was mandatory because they are the emotional centerpieces of the album.
And I agree, the version of Back in the day with the sample is the best and I love the more sophisticated drum beat.
On 12/31/2022 at 8:42 AM, DirtyBlonde said:Ugh, Just bought the deluxe edition also! I love them so much! They love their fans so much!
They do. I think they released the album using their own money so that the fans could enjoy the work properly. Thank you girls. I truly fell in love with them during the MKS era (even if I've been liking them since Overload), so I'm happy that it's finally out there.

Hey @bigspender,
Do you have any tease for us on this awesome project ?
Can't wait to bop on 80's sadcore hits.

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.

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.

i feel like this is rlly hard to read i might transcribe it
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.

Truth be told, Im not the biggest Britney fan, so that’s why I wouldn’t want her to cover one of her songs. That being said, I do trust her for her song choices:
if she feels she’ll do a good job covering it, she probably will.
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.

6 hours ago, sheepie said:tbh i loved the clarinets but the drums offput me for some reason. they feel like they didn't fit with the song
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

22 hours ago, GeminiLanaFan said:Any Britney song like some suggest she should cover
songs that aren’t 10 years old also.
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.

Lana's Album Titles In Your Native Language
in Games
Posted
I love those. My favorite ones are :
Matar, matar
Paraíso oscuro
La otra mujer
Luna de miel
La última canción
Puta americana
It makes my imagination go wild trying to imagine songs with those title if Lana's songs didn't exist.
Just realised I fogot AKA, Blue Banisters and Ocean Blv. That's corrected now.
