A COCC destroyer.

Hi guys and girlies!
I've decided to share with you some LDR concept albums I've come up with, chosing tracks (released or unreleased) from Lana's repertoire.
If you like this idea, please feel free to share your own concept albums, I'm very curious 
I'm going to start with this one, since I already have a cover and the backcover done:
 


 
So, the theme behind this one is pretty obvious: the escape to California in search of a better life 
I've tried to add songs from each album like they're telling a story: from her arrival to the Golden State (FIILY), to her wanting her man there (Freak), the disillusion about what's seems to be the Garden of Eden but in reality is the Garden of Evil (Gods & Monsters), the melancholy of her reminiscing the time with her man (California & VB) till the last songs in which she questions her happiness in that place... I was aiming to an overall summery feeling, and I think it's pretty well balanced!
I've even turned this into a Spotify playlist that I listen to regularly.
Let me know what you think about it  
Ps.: I hope this is the right section! 

my predicted color palette for this era is... teal, orange, salmon, pink, gold, green, marigold, gray, lavender...

I just remembered HIFN deluxe and another album are due for 2020 OPRAH

its so cute

I literally have one album called "Unreleased" and what ever leaks is next on the tracklist lol 

and she called it "LA, who am I love you?"
 
here we go demo version 1, 2, 3, alternative mix, and more   

"My intructor, younger than I, but as tough as you,
Instructed me to do a simple maneuverer.
It’s not that I didn’t do it,
But I was slow to lean the sports cruiser into a right hand upward turn.
Scared, scared that I would lose control of the plane.
Not tactfully and not gently,
The instructor shook his head, and without looking at me said
“You don’t trust yourself”.
I was horrified.
Feeling as though I’d somehow been found out.
Like he knew me,
How weak I was.
Of course, he was only talking about my ability as a pilot in the sky,
But I knew it was meant for me to hear those words."
--
I’m not a pilot.
I write!
 
 
This reminded me of an interview she did with Zane Lowe back in 2018, where she referenced this exact moment and how it influenced her to begin writing more (10:00-11:50): 
"This is when I also started to write more poetry. One of the most interesting things that happened to me was I couldn't take control, and my pilot instructor, who's much younger than me, he asked me to turn up and to the right into a righthand turn. & I did it, but I did it so slowly that it didn't even really turn. He just looked at me and he was like, 'You don't trust yourself.' He was literally only talking about with the plane, but for me I thought, shit. Thank god I didn't have a breakdown, I felt like I knew I needed to hear that. I was like, oh my god, I really don't. 'Cause it's so simple. The plane drives like a stick shift 'cause I'm in a sportcruiser. All you have to do is move the stick to the right, but I couldn't even do it. I think I realized how I am still so scared of so much. Of course, the sailing is another metaphor. They have a lot of the same language. I think it's all about being in the driver's seat, if you will. I'm all about metaphors. I actually said something to him, I was like, you're right. I don't trust myself. I really don't. & he looked at me like, get it together. That's when I realised. I don't want to say that's when I realised I'm not a pilot, but I realised I'm a writer. I'm not a pilot, but I could be. That's where my head went. It's funny, even with his instruction my head still went to how am I turning this into a rhyming stanza?"
 

I don't think it's "Zac", it sounds like "sax"/"sacks" to me? Idk 

Also Garcetti is the mayor of LA, what's THAT about ...

seriously shocked we havent gotten a car tease yet.... shes really keeping this lowkey  

i agree that she doesn't care like she did before. she has no reason to, she already has her foot in the door, she doesn't need to go out of her way to make that glamorous 1940s aristocrat impression anymore. you can even see her demeanor and voice has changed a lot in interviews since then

also its ridiculous the way y'all talk about her weight. even when she was visibly the heaviest in her career she looked completely healthy. skinnier does not mean healthier. and during nfr she even mentioned power lifting. 80% of you guys are gay men anyways so stfu about womens bodies please

Is there an updated masterpost for her unreleased?

Is there an updated masterpost for her unreleased?

I don't think it's a bad album, but I do think it's her worst album.

Next in the alternate universe of released albums Do U Luv Me Yet?
 
I think this cover encapsulates that whole Americas sweetheart vibe she was giving off in 2010 and she looks fucking hot. The back cover was inspired by the Chromatica placeholder cover lol. What do you think of the tracklist? To me these are the best tracks from 2010-11.
 

 

Who...cares about who follows who on Instagram? Are we in school?

Do U Luv Me Yet? Album made up of the BTD sessions.

 



 

I miss/love lana's bratty rich girl image and persona, where she would sing about owning rivieras and wearing diamonds on skid row but it wasn't enough because she wanted to be with the man she loved...it was theatrical and artistic! that phase of her persona doesn't get the respect it deserves
