Mer

she looks so young and vibrant and healthy 

She looks amazing! She’ll go back to brunette for the new era though I’m sure.

Wish she would go back to black

I know y’all are about to rant about the Sean stuff but every time I see a pic of her blonde I still cannot believe it. 2020 is a fever dream

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

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)

for everyone wondering about the code in her store

 
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"

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

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...

Ugh yes yes yes!!! That also reminds me of what she said about some of the NFR outtakes in that Seattle radio station interview in October - how some songs were “hip-hop girl group” with a more 60s Shangri-La sensibility - even though that was done for the LFL title track, I could see that sound meshing with the Lucky Ones demo and retaining that heavy drum 60s sound!

Definitely agree and love that. And I think you’re onto something with associating White Hot Forever with the stars - she said to Q Magazine in October that she’s “only thinking in star signs” for the next record. I’m hoping she stays true to that! I personally could see really glittery guitars used in that song and throughout the whole record to word-paint/depict these stars! 
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 the chorus if we’re talking about star signs and being in love!
I’m so excited too! I definitely think that this is going to be the case and it’s amazing - I’m all for a super candid narrative and return to roots!

this is really shaping up to be my most anticipated era yet, i'm so excited to hear this album and i honestly think it's going to end up one of my favorites. everything you mentioned here is so exciting to me, the fact that this era has so many similarities to the lizzy era, the blonde hair, the fashion, whether that being her bamboo hoops, her nails, or a silly baseball mom hat... her work in native american communities... i'm just so happy. in some recent photos she looks strikingly similar to her indian reservation photos from 2006. also, from what we can infer from her controversial instagram post, it seems like she wants to be more daring and honest in her work, which is something i get definitely get behind.

Yessssss. I also wonder if some of the guests she brought onto the Midwestern part of the tour had an influence - artists like Haley Bonar, Julia Jacklin, Lucy Dacus, Best Coast etc. could very much have inspired this record!  
I think a title like Tulsa Jesus Freak is definitely somewhat twangy though - when I think of Oklahoma I also think of some of the demos she did in 2007 for AKA, like Rehab (Pretty Baby), the Mermaid Motel demo, and the Brite Lites demo produced by Steven Mertens. That sound I also associated with ‘White Hot Forvever’ when I first heard it - something desert-like and springs-esque - real dry and raw.
 
Her current work with the Navajo community and new hair colour is a direct parallel to her 2006/2007 activities. I wonder if this parallel is indicative of COTCC’s sonic landscape! I could definitely see that gritty glam guitar sound being mixed with some Nancy Sinatra flair to bring a posh-rock sound for this record! With a touch of psychedelia!

Lana is really perfect for his show when you think about it.
She could perform on his show. He would do a great interview with Lana too. He is one of the few people left who knows how to conduct an interview.

For whatever random reason I imagine some songs on the record not to sound like this, but to fit this imagery ^
Something canyon-like and warm-toned! 

OMG WAIT. You’re onto somethingIt took two weeks to announce Violet after Lana made her post about LA Who Am I To Love You. In two weeks, it’s the beginning of August. Just sone speculation here cause I’m desperate

the way that y’all debunked the source code date and now h*neymouns is hyping everyone up on instagram about it chile-

clueless (again)

I knew I saw that vid on this site! And I’d love a Bond girl feel too, or similar aesthetics to your profile pic! That classic 60s sleek look. Glam basically.
 
And I agree - I think NFR had some more folky moments though - the title track, Bartender and hope is a dangerous thing.. really remind me of Joni Mitchell; How to Disappear makes several lyrical references and parallels to “Our House” by Crosby Stills & Nash so I think COTCC may either go a country route as she spent a lot of time in Tulsa and seemed to sink into the whole midwestern thing, or may go a more glam, lush and cinematic route as reflected in her Instagram posts related to femininity and defending her past work.

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