tjf is insaneeeee don’t embarrass yourself 

oh no I completely agree! It’s one of my favorites on COCC! I just wasn’t sure where Jack allegedly calling it bombastic came from!

u know what... he might be right about that one 

Do we know if that’s even legit? I’ve searched the word alongside the song names & have found nothing

Apart from Lana mentioning country music once in a random Instagram story there is no evidence for it. Or am I forgetting something?

 

The snippet and what Lana said in the interview didn't sound like country to me.

Well, excluding her saying she hopes we like country, she performed a new country track with Lane not too long ago. Also, Lane did an interview about the two collaborating on new stuff, so yeah!

Then again, Lana’s idea of country may be a bit different than most would think (especially considering her comparisons of the genre to Video Games and Ride). Also, regarding the snippet, we really have no idea if that’s the final sound of the track, and she’s put Change and Summer Bummer on the same record, so who knows!

With most evidence pointing toward LDR9 being a country record, I’m really curious what her spin on it will be. 
 

Of course, it’s likely going to have a strong vintage feel, but I wonder if she’s going to continue the trend of wanting to strip back the initial production for authenticity or if she’ll have a consistent but unique production flair running throughout (or both?). 
 

I mean, take NFR! for example: it was permeated with the influence of Joni Mitchell’s discography and other significant artists of the time, but there was also this blending of electronic, sometimes psychedelic elements with the folky undertones.
 

Could we be getting a country record with an unexpected twist? I mean, despite it being an outlier sonically, Interlude - The Trio just shows that she’s fully willing and enjoys experimenting with different genres (not to mention her Migos collaboration wish and alleged reaching out to Kali Uchis).

It might even explain why Jon Batiste was in the studio…unless of course it’s for LDR10

You actually have made similar thread!  

 

 

Would you like me to merge them? x

Ahh, sorry about that! It would be appreciated  

I honestly had no idea what my own response would be when I made this thread, but…

in chronological order of my life events, I think these almost perfectly describe where I’ve been and where I’m finally at now: 

1. Ride

2. California
3. Get Free

4. Shades of Cool

5. Wildflower Wildfire

Title says it all (and hopefully no one’s made this thread already lol)!

What if she finished LDR9 and she's now working on a country record?

remember when Lana’s management reposted a fan theory about a double release 

LDR9 and 10 coming next week

Jack, Drew, Ian, potentially Rick….I have no idea what’s going on, but I’m here for it 

I’m sure this has already been said, but I really think there’s a good chance Lana will feature on Midnights. 
 

I mean, it’s allegedly a rock album, and we know that it wasn’t too long ago that we got the Jack x Lana x Taylor photo. Plus, given Swift’s description of the record, it would make sense to have the queen of melancholia herself on the record not to mention she called Lana her favorite female lyricist AND lauding her as the most influential pop artist

They both have their own songwriting skillsets, and (despite my personal dislike of collabs from almost any artist) I think we could get something really gorgeous if executed correctly!

So happy that you (@Elle) continue to keep this site running—one of the most supportive communities I’ve been around, even if virtually

Why u acting as if she hasn't been singing about fire in every song of her career? 

no totally, she definitely always has! 
 

I just think it’s a neat that (if I remember correctly) she’s mentioned that the elements play a large role in her art, and having a record really saturated with one of them in a creative way (like specific to her “anger,” for instance) would be super cool!

Like, regarding Ultraviolence, she said, “My word for the record was ‘fire,’ you know, blue fire when a flame gets so hot.”

Also, with the recent Jack comments, imagining a hell-influenced record would be so interesting from Lana! An extension of Tropico confirmed

edit: accidentally made 2 replies & unsure how to delete this specific comment lmao

SO many references to fire lately! In retrospect, that might make sense with her describing her new songs as “angry” in the recent interview. 

I remember her saying that her taste in country music had “outlaw” influences, and I think that combined with Drew’s instrumentation will be super interesting. 

I think this is going to be a very special record for her close fans, and I’m definitely anticipating a more “upbeat” record in terms of the pacing (not necessarily the mood if that makes any sense)

What a gorgeous record

The way she managed to blend the rockabilly genre with her own baroque twist reminds me so much of Ride but with more frustration and honesty. 
 

I think it’s the perfect follow-up to the soft, healing-centered nature of Blue Banisters given how much she’s gone through since the album was released. Truly her magnum opus

something about the energy in this photo is indescribable..I can’t quite put my finger on it

this era is so strange and wild, some would say..

but seriously, REALLY brief and infrequent snippets, no proposed release date, allegedly no record title despite there being several songs made, confusing album-related genre statements….

we’re in for a surprise no matter what

If lana goes decides to go with a country twist for her next album, I think it will be amazing and beautiful.

I really think so too.

I genuinely believe she has the potential to revive the genre in a mainstream way that modern pop-country hasn’t been able to, and I think her storytelling abilities, intentional vocal delivery, and use of Americana would make for an extremely successful country record!

I quite like the “piano ballads” and Lana’s use of piano as of late. It’s elegant and refined in a quiet way, and I think she exemplifies the art of subtlety quite well. 

I completely agree. Honestly, I’d argue that Blue Banisters had some of the most creative piano usage in her released discography with a few exceptions. 
 

I mean, Beautiful has that gorgeous, twinkling intro, Sweet Carolina has that almost whimsical waterfall of notes toward the end, etc.

I genuinely don’t mind who produces the record as long as we get another White Dress/Venice Bitch moment

I want to go rabid in the best way possible lol

gurl what do you mean 

basically, I was just saying people should be able to mention Jack without others immediately diverting the conversation into a hate party, especially for reasons not entirely attributed to Jack. I was half-awake when I wrote it, so I apologize if it was confusing/misleading!

My question for the culture: Can we please get to a point where we can acknowledge we don’t prefer something without derailing someone’s unrelated conversation and then acting like a victim of censorship when one’s subjective hate for something is met with backlash—particularly when the hate is misdirected to the individual who is essentially doing what they’re told?
 

Anyways, god bless the “ignore” feature, and I’m so excited for her next project. Lana looked ecstatic in that recent photo, and it reminded me of the NFR-era photos where she was always so enthusiastic about her music online. She really must be cooking up something special. 
 

I’m still unsure if Jon Batiste is related to this country music Lana hopes we’ll enjoy or if this is something separate, but I’m loving the change of pace

I can’t decide between “umbrella” and “own brother.” If it’s a reference to Charlie, could he be getting his own Sweet Carolina? The “sorry” tacked on at the end + family mention gives me 

Then again, if she’s saying umbrella, maybe it’s a metaphor with “Rockefeller” being wealth. She thought fame and fortune would shield her, and (as we’ve seen with the last few albums) she’s felt the opposite.

It could explain the more somber melody!
