Beauty King

Her last single platinum album was in 2014. Her last multiplatinum album was 2012. Honeymoon went gold and that was it. It's now 2017 and album sales continue to decline, yet a few acts (Adele, Taylor Swift and such) are still going multiplatinum. No, she is not a major pop act compared to them.

She has a promoter. She does not pick her own promotional opportunities. She makes the music and then sends it to the label. They decide how to promote it. She undoubtedly gets to okay the opportunities, but she's not the one seeking them out, for the most part. Radio is dying. Period, point blank. It does not pay out like it used to and people are listening far less than they used to. Radio promoters are less open to taking risks because they want to focus on sure things. Lana Del Rey is not a sure thing on radio. That is why she is not being played. Artists who released singles that pandered to radio paid for radio deals. They paid to be played on the air with the expectation that audiences would respond and continue to request their music over time, meaning the singles would have some stability. The problem is that radio is beginning to become less important than streaming. Every #1 single this year was highly reliant on streaming in addition to radio. Lana is not a streaming giant. That's another market where you can pay to play; pay to be added to popular curated playlists and your song gets more streams. Doesn't make sense to pay if you're not guaranteed to chart high and get a return on investment. Lana is not a major pop act. She should not and will not promote like one. Get over it.

An album is a project that gets millions of dollars of industry money poured into it and takes as much as multiple years to produce properly. Yes, the two are comparable. That's not her fault and it's not her management's fault. Radio is in its death throes and live performances only give a temporary boost. There is no point in spending money to promote music beyond what she is doing, for an artist in her position.

Two months is literally nothing in industry time. Films get listed as "Coming Soon" when they're not even going to be out for 18 or 20 more months. You are used to eras that are way too short because of how Honeymoon and Ultraviolence were so sped up. This era is going at a good speed. You're being ridiculous.

That's such a nasty thing to wish on her. You are flat out childish if you want this album to be leaked just because it's not coming next week.

Why is everyone so against this? It's not even that much longer to wait. I'd rather have an era that stretched out over six months than Honeymoon's two months from tip to tail.

This isn't actually a demo. It's just a filtered version of the final version's instrumental and backing vocals. People were trading it around as a "demo" for a while, though.

It's really difficult to tell for sure if When The World Was At War, We Kept Dancing is actually going to make it, because it seems like this interviewer got to listen to the album prior to their talk. If it wasn't among those tracks, then it might not be on the album at all. Of course, that does make the assumption that the interviewer heard every new track, rather than just a small sampling of the new ones.

Justin Parker is the only co-writer for that registration, so he probably produced it.

Wild One is a song she did with Justin Parker in 2015. Wild Side is a track that samples Born to Die, which she had nothing to do with. She said she knew nothing about Wild Side, not Wild One.

In Rick Nowels' directories, it was labeled "AFFA" so the correct title is definitely Angels Forever, Forever Angels.

Old unreleased songs leaking is very different from new finished material set for release leaking.

There's really no chance of us getting them. She performed them both in August 2015 at some club show she did.

Stevie is not confirmed to be doing a duet; She is confirmed to have worked on the album in some capacity. That does not mean they did anything but work in the same room for a while and it certainly doesn't mean she's got vocals featured on a song.

In that case, we have like 10 confirmed collaborators if you count all the producers, co-writers and engineers who worked on Love and Lust For Life. I don't. A collaboration in the sense everyone's referring to it as is a duet. We have two confirmed duets. That's all.

Stevie is not confirmed as a vocal collab, darling. Most likely just a co-write.

No, we don't. Only Sean Lennon and The Weeknd are confirmed. Metro Boomin is not confirmed, Stevie Nicks is not confirmed as a vocal collab and Marina is not confirmed.

2013

Glam is Love Me Forever. The title it originally leaked under was "Glam (Love Me Forever)".

When/How and Civil War acapellas, I'm Not Gonna Tell My Boyfriend and Glam in lossless.

Very old.

Honey, he's produced tons of floptastic crap that didn't even crack the Bubbling Under charts. You are obsessed with charts to an unhealthy degree. Give it up.

She recently did an interview where she said she wanted it out in autumn of this year.

No, it's not. She said she would release several songs before the album, but she didn't specify that Yosemite would be one of them. She also didn't give any concrete timeline or dates.

What was this? It's gone.
