I too can make lists. Taylor Swift: 6 months Lady Gaga: 19 months between ASIB and Chromatica Lana Del Rey: 19 months Ariana Grande: 6 months Sweetner —> Thank U Next not sure what your issue is with me saying 4 years is a long time...? Maybe you work in music management and are pressed bc it effects you personally idk lol.

you have no idea how much I hoped that I’d open this thread to see this ^^^

i agree with your first point that melodrama was maximalist-bordering-overproduced, but I also think that would be much more welcome in 2021 than 2017. After a year of COTCC, folklore, evermore, Bon Iver, Girl in Red, and Olivia Rodrigo supremacy—bombastic production would be welcome and fresh imo.

In an age where artists release albums every 12-15 months, ~48 months is a long enough hiatus that breaking it could be called a "comeback".

So should I wait by the phone like I’m just a kid, tonight at 9PST for the drop? Or not?

Freedom 90 is one of the greatest songs of all time. If she samples it it’s gonna be goated

what’s it gonna be y’all (source: Reddit u/Not_Sure_365)

This point does not fit my argument and therefore I will act as if it doesn’t exist.

I think she's trying to distance herself from Americana imagery and patriotism as much as possible with all that's happened in the last year...

The rain was fire but we were wooden

fuck she shoulda kept this vocal take in the final version

COTCC = NFR > BB (but this could change w more time/listens) > HM > UV > LFL > BTD

They better be frickin mastering something by this point if they wanna release in July.

Would Kylie Minhoegue lie?

i feel like lorde is usually a maximalist? Espc Melodrama. Pure Heroin more minimal imo.

Lorde coming to save Summer 2021.

(If this is real) The All Knower is super reliable. They got bullied a few weeks ago for releasing the cover art of one of Taylor’s Fearless “chapters” a few hours before she herself did lol.

tell me you have no analytical skills without telling me you have no analytical skills. banisters: something you grab on to for support, to prop you up and to guide you while you climb and descend a staircase, without falling. blue: usually represents sadness, melancholy. Also represents stability and consistency. I think the latter definition applies here. green: represents growth, harmony, wealth. grey: represents balance and neutrality. “blue banisters”: a consistent, albeit potentially melancholic, support system in her life. A man who only comes in May, and is perhaps absent otherwise. “And now my banisters are green and grey”: her support system is in harmony, balance, wealth of emotional support. Her sisters who are always surrounding her. Who come to her often to help her paint the blues green and grey.

No To Heaven. And no to Nikki Lane.

have you considered that you missed the point of the video entirely

13 tracks. Anything past 14 becomes filler. There are very few albums with 17 tracks that do not have at least 3 tracks filler.

I remember when folklore came out some people thought “William Bowery” was Lana. Bc honestly good lyricism is synonymous with Lana Del Rey. While she may disappoint on visuals, timeliness, truthfulness, driving skills, use of social media as a tool for marketing, live performances, touring more than one corridor of the West Coast, and her relationship with the media; she has never, never! written a song short of pure genius.

check your attitude this ain’t Twitter. Honestly LDR’s mastery of language is kinda unparalleled in pop. Taylor does it well too, but LDR’s lyrics are a little more...obscure/experimental?

Alternating between folklore and Lover, which is an apt metaphor for my quickly altering mental state
