Ok so as I predicted she needs to

Like I told y’all yesterday, I mistakenly (but also willingly sat through) like, the first minute of Fingertips on Tik Tok and y’all. Please tell me this song only gets better throughout because it was sounding like a Hope-tier song.

OKAY!!!! 👏 but sonically, thoughts?

Can someone that isn’t jaded by initial first listen hype with these leaks tell me if this album is actually shaping up to be good, ie on NFR’s level? I’m really hoping y’all. I need another GOOD album. Because let’s be real, we all hyped up Blue Banisters during its first few months.

Is it Chemtrails-y like the other user described? I love Chem but I want something different from Lana X Jack.

✨PREDICTIONS✨ (I’ll never forget when someone asked me to never do this again, oops): - Tunnel will do ~50-70k first week, mostly pure sales - The lyrics will cause controversy and she will post a thoughtless rant in response - Tik Tok will absolutely trash the interludes, similar to how they trashed White Dress - The album will divide critics because of its lyrical content, and it’ll sit at a 70-80 MC score - She will do a couple of live shows during the first week in LA - oceanblvd will be used to announce a small tour with Gracie Abrams supporting I’m sad to hear this, tbh. It seemed like everyone was loving the initial snippets.

A&W freefalling… nobody (but anwdelrey) warns you before the fall 🎶 So I saw some alleged controversial lyrics. Either critics will see it as tongue in cheek or completely destroy her. We shall see.

Like sorry but

Do y’all think Lana has bpd? Not to speculate about mental illnesses but isn’t self-sabotage very common in people that have bpd? I just feel like when things are going well for her career-wise she has a tendency to shoot herself in the foot. It’s strange. Anyways.

I literally haven’t seen anything about this aside from the hysterics in this forum. Please.

I really can’t see people making this into a thing. It’s a reach in my opinion, it’s a heart emoji not a co sign of racism.

The way this made like no noise online.

This is part of the album campaign. She’s embodying divisiveness. Jk I wish she wasn’t so **** sometimes fr.

It’s like, do y’all not have family members that listen to Morgan Wallen? Not everyone lives on Twitter. Don’t get me wrong, dude’s a pos, but I wouldn’t cancel someone for liking a posting of his or something. If this had been Candace Owens or something then I would be furious. But not everyone keeps up with everything.

If y’all weren’t aware, she was already going to be in hot water with some of the alleged lyrics on Tunnel. Consider this an appetizer ✨

And he liked his recent post. Jack when we catch you (jk I love Salem and ngl I don’t think this is that big of a deal, dude’s like one of the most popular country singers right now)

When we get the inevitable Pop Crave tweet “Lana Del Rey shows love to singer Morgan Wallen” with 10k quote retweets. Buckle up y’all!

Y’all are chronically online sometimes

I don’t know if this has been said already, but I think the reason why Lana shows so much love to the younger generation of female artists in her lane (Billie, Olivia, Madison) is because she received so much backlash from women when she came on the scene. People like Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth, who she probably looked up to, constantly trashing her. I think she knows a lot of these younger girls look up to her and is proud to hear the sounds she pioneered be so prominent in modern music.

I think she’ll secure at least 50k pure sales with all these variants. We shall see.

Mistakenly heard a snippet of Fingertips and

I haven’t listened to the leaks nor do I support them, but in terms of quality and lyricism, are we thinking this is on par with NFR? Also, I’m throwing any hopes of a good Metacritic score out the window after seeing some *alleged* provocative lyrics.

Judging from how Lana has reacted to things like this in the past I say if *something* isn’t done to correct it she’ll drop out. Which is fair enough imo, she’s always pulled big crowds at festivals.

Clearly not prioritized in the press release, though. Which is strange because in her 2020 slot (which I believe wasn’t as strong), she was announced in the title along with the headliners. A fuck up probably, but I think her dropping out would set a good precedent 🤭

Well she’s rightfully pissed, imo. Obviously something got lost in translation but her managers are British so it’s weird, you’d think they’d be more familiar. Maybe they were expecting her to be included in the press release.
