Elaborating on the speculation that this was the album cover shoot: 

 

I can't tell if the photographer is a man wearing a cap or a woman with her blonde hair tied into a ponytail/low bun but my guess is the latter. Nicole Nodland has blonde hair.

 

Chuck usually uses medium format film to shoot her pictures, and this camera looks like a digital; the camera appears to be a DSLR, which is considered digital. Nicole's go-to cameras for her shoots with Lana were P25+ by Phase One and EOS 5D Mark II by Canon, which are DSLR cameras. 

 

We also see someone holding a light reflector, who is likely Nicole's assistant. Lana has said before that her shoots with Chuck are pretty casual, so I'm assuming it would just be the two of them and some friends relying on flash or natural light, as we can see in the HM, LFL and NFR covers. This looks more formal, as Nicole's editorial style sees her operate differently than someone with a more artistic and candid sensibility like Chuck.

 

The blue convertible Lana is in also seems to be the same car that Sean owns, pictured here: https://twitter.com/sean_c_larkin/status/1246248286203318274

 

TL;DR: Nicole Nodland shot the album cover on December 17, 2019 - it will likely be a portrait of Lana in Sean's blue convertible with chemtrails photoshopped into the sky above.

who are you who are so wise in the ways of Lana <3 

i'm so glad we're getting another car shoot! and that styling looks stunning in that LQ fan shoot!

how can i delete someone else's post? 

It does matter, though, because performative allyship is ... not it. 

 

If you wanna bury your head in the sand that's your business. 

 

Whilst the relationship is unconfirmed I'll refrain from saying more, however. 

"performative allyship" is not applicable when an individual takes time out of their personal schedule to visit marginalized communities and actively engage in one-on-one conversations with them. That is true and direct activism. 

furthermore, "burying my head in the sand" is actually just "minding my own business when it comes to someone's personal life"--judging someone's moral purity based on who they fall in love with does not contribute to solving any real world problems. Wether Lana does or does not date a cop, and may visit him in Tusla, does not impact wether or not there is racial injustice in the world one way or another...those two things are not mutually exclusive. 

the constant outrage of "oh no she shouldn't date a cop because cops are bad and thus she must be bad" is the definition of "performative allyship". it serves no purpose.

Whose page?

 

Isn't it funny how when Lana mentioned this trip she named New Mexico, Arizona and Utah? Not Oklahoma? Yet she's been in Tulsa for almost a week.

 

I know plans change, but it's almost as if she didn't mention it because she's trying to hide a (very controversial) relationship or something.

Or maybe she just doesn’t mention it because it really shouldn’t matter to anyone how she chooses to spend her free time? Just because she wants to visit her possible BF, doesn’t mean her good work is completely negated?

So was no one gonna tell me Madonna liked Lana’s “controversial posts” and Lana doesn’t even follow her back lmao

I kinda want Henry Mancini vibes. 60s party on a yacht in Monaco vibes

I’m just here for the music...

Also for what it’s worth, as a straight man, I totally would (anyone in that pic). But remember, you can separate the art from the artists. You don’t have to love every little thing about the person (her personal life, her friends) to love the art

I think the Lucky Ones demo with the heavy drums is super reminiscent of Nancy Sinatra so I could see something in that vein being the “bop” of this album - its warm guitars would fit in really well, and of course the obvious lyrics from chorus if we’re talking about star signs and being in love!

i would love this album to have sounds along the lines of Lucky Ones and Lolita demos...those upbeat 60s vibes with the four-on-the-floor drum beats matched with the glittery guitars are heavenly 

I think the issue moreso is your idea that only music that “talks about the human condition” can be classified as art, it’s pretty pretentious and false

i guess what i meant was that i find the lyrics to lack any real depth or narrative, which i think all artists strive to do. i never said her work shouldn't be classified as art, i just said it misses the mark of what any artist would want to try to accomplish. 

Do we think Zella has a hand in this? I really do like the sound of Zella's new EP--and the lyrics are quite amazing, I hope they join forces in some capacity (even if just as a cowriter)

this is what you sound like saying "music collection"

idk about anyone else but i don't want to hear this man speak on anything, more-so Lady Gaga

oh haha i suppose "music collection" was the wrong word...library? i haven't spoken English since quarantine i'm beginning to forget it lmao 

i'm sorry i seemed to offend you by the fact that i didn't much care for Chromatica...i really didnt think my criticism of a commercial album would be met with such backlash as to drag my personality, or my freedom to speak, into an argument.

but anyways, she still got excellent reviews from critics far more important than me so I guess it doesnt much matter what i think, or at least it shouldn't to elicit such a hurtful response...

Is there a version of flipside with the drums? I’ve only heard snippets of it

This album isnt bad by any means but affirming it had replay value over its debut week would be a lie

i removed from my music collection bc i honestly just never saw myself registering to it. its not very relatable...mainly bc the lyrics lack any kind of introspection/commentary on the human condition (which imo is the primary purpose of art) 

Based off the COCC pre-release thread, I gather theres a lot of hate for Tomorrow Never Came? 

It was my favourite song on first listen from the album, and along with Get Free, Herion and Change; is a song that I still have in my heavy rotation from LFL. 

Although, I do concede, the bridge in the demo version was much more lyrically pleasing. I have no clue as to why in the world she thought "isn't life crazy you say/now that I'm singing with Sean" was better/more thematic than "baby you have to forget/and I have to move on". The latter is so relatable to so many people, the former is a poor attempt at breaking the 4th wall

there's a lot of code written for 05/08/2020...could be the preorder date? 

for everyone wondering about the code in her store

https://imgur.com/a/cOOyxGi

 

"var twoMonthsFromNow = new Date(Date.now());
      twoMonthsFromNow.setMonth(twoMonthsFromNow.getMonth() + 2);"

 

This could have been added earlier this month (July 4 maybe?) so that the website changes from "pre-order COTCC" to "COTCC now available!" or something?

if i remember my intro to coding class well, i believe this code is saying when "two months from now" expires, it gets replaced with "new Date"

Go to Google and search “Lana Del Rey shop”. Look for the result from her official store. No need to click. It will something in the likes of you can buy merchandise from NFR and preorder her 2020 new album Chemtrails.

Confirmed! if you go to view-source:https://lanadelreystore.com it will be there!

found it! 

am I allowed to post a screenshot of the code for others to see as well? 

Was that "Chemtrails Pre-order" code on her website ever confirmed/debunked? 

the last great American dynasty

Is it only available in the USA? Can‘t find it on iTunes stores in Europe.

It will roll out by time zone I think?

Her eyes are the most stunning shade of grey and green and blue I’ve ever seen

the way she looks young and poppin in the first selfie, but looks like a mid-forties English teacher in the last 

the power of lighting is harsh and cruel sometimes

it's standard operating procedure for people who want to feel superior without doing anything to actually help anyone. Find someone who is trying to do something good, and pick a fault with it. IOW, the entirety of Stan twitter.

it's not just stan twitter unfortunately--it's growing like an epidemic and affecting even private citizens. hopefully it's a direct cause of quarantine and ppl having too much time on their hands, and will go away once the world reopens again

Ouf, I hadn't thought of that. It really would have to be done with a lot of taste and tact, if she doesn't want all hell to break loose with criticisms after that. 

What a sad thought. Random people behind computer screens will criticize her for (potentially) doing something that obviously the native community consented to, and that really shouldn't affect the lives of random people behind computer screens...

2 years later, and Mariners is still the song that transports me to another dimension
