Ever since we learned about Lasso I've been excited but also not impatient cause Ocean is still really recent... but at the same time seeing everyone releasing stuff makes me want the album now 

We're so spoiled but I need it 

I am once again reminding you all that Ocean Blvd was almost a surprise release/announcement (the single actually was) cause she wasn't teasing the album at all leading up to the announcement.

The last "official" news we had were a CN snippet back in August and she suddenly announced the announcement () less than a week before the preorder.

There's so many signs pointing to the album actually coming this year (studio version snippets, her straight up saying it, confirming it to Elle some weeks ago...).

The fact that she included Tough and she is releasing it as a single (allegedly) confirms even more than the album is done, cause according to that insider she was considering its inclusion in the record back in February... and guess what... it's in there so the tracklist and album are done and being pressed right now 

The only counter argument is that vague and confusing interview which was probably about the sound and genre of the record and it sounded more like "it's done and it is what it is, we'll see" than "I scrapped it and started from scratch"

The chorus and outro are nice but I need her to sing the Salvatore bridge for once 

It's one of the only songs that actually make sense for her dancers to helplessly roll around the stage so I hope we get a full performance this time 

She always sings at least a bit of Salvatore in Italy I'm so excited 

I mean... anyone could write anything about Lasso with an insider tone and upload it there 

I still choose to believe cause I want Tough this week tho 

I wonder if the Lasso metaphor is about the hold she has on her lovers or the other way around 

Or maybe is something totally unexpected thematically... assuming there's a title track of course (which I'm 99% sure of)

So... is there a solution for mobile yet? I've been having the "likes" problem for months now.

I know there's a way to change the settings on the browser in a laptop and it works but I can't find anything in the mobile chrome app 

I'll try from another mobile browser and update 

That Spotify bio was kinda cringey so I'm glad it's gone lol 

I doubt it means anything cause they would just update it with a new one if it was about Lasso and Lana is not an easter egg girl anyway 

Tough is still coming soon tho 

Oh I love that song. If ASCAP is legit (I know it is but mistakes happen sometimes) I guess we're getting two songs, Tough for Lasso and Fly Away cover/sample as a Quavo ft. Lana single 

Her usual one for me one for you back to back collabs 

Having a, for example, 10 track album where every song is really good is nice and pleasing but having a 16 track album where I love 10, like 4 and don't care about 2 is way better to me.

I tend to listen to full albums so the concept of a record is important to me but for Lana I don't care... I value quantity cause the quality is usually up there during the whole thing.

Like I might skip Beautiful or some LFL tracks but I still listen to them from time to time so I appreciate that they exist 

Of course more than 15-16 tracks is a bit too much tho 

I don't find the silence worrying cause Ocean was also basically radio silence (we knew it existed and we had some vague BOZ teasers about an album he loved) and she announced it out of the blue.

If she didn't reveal it in that random event it would have been a total surprise 

Lasso is coming 

She's backtracking cause people expect yeehaw aesthetics and country and she's giving us Lana's genrebending magic 

Maybe she's worried that critics are going to say that she jumped on the country "trend" to be successful but she didn't commit in the end 

I think she just means simpler songs with a more standard structure and more focused on melodies instead of having the lyrics being the central part of the song.

Maybe something like NFR in the sense that it is insanely well written but it's not that complex lyrically (except Hope).

But to be fair I think there are songs like that in all three of her last albums so we'll see.

I was really impressed and I enjoyed a lot her diaristic and lyrical dense songs like A&W, WFWF, Fingertips (maybe my favorite song by her now) but her strength has always been more about painting pictures and telling stories than convoluted metaphors so I'm really excited. 

It was really obvious but it's nice having rumors confirmed by Lana herself 

She said recently that she still plans on releasing it this year so I doubt that she scrapped it unless it was a last week decision 

I think she just meant that it's not going to be as country as people expected after her initial comments on the record.

I don't understand the correlation? 

They are both signed to Interscope and they tend to space their artists' releases so the rollouts don't overlap too much.

For example Camila's album was "delayed" a bit so it's not on the same month as Billie even if she's way smaller than her now.

in 2021, we got the first three singles on May 20 and the album in October

 

well, today is May 21... 

Since the album is coming out in September we actually got the first three Lasso singles on April 20... 

Didn't you like Tumblebug Tumbleweed, Songbook and Brown Fences?

Now that Billie released her album Tough could come out at anytime  

Since it's probably Lana's song and she loves a random Wednesday release I'll start shazaming the snippet everyday.

Nothing shows up yet tho 

I give it around two tweeks... if it's still coming out in September we're so close to preoder territory 

And even if it's not in September she said she still plans on releasing this year so either way it's coming out soon 

I just hope we get some full production.

I don't even need "bops" or fast paced tracks... I just want some nice layers.

Something like Yosemite, on the simple side but with nice little elements here and there.

I don't mind a couple of acoustic guitar Sirens-like songs tho 

Please every bit we get from the MV looks different why are we in Chromatica now 

I guess they were just doing some rehearsals or test shoots these days and they are shooting the actual thing tomorrow? Or maybe it's unrelated to Tough who knows.

I know Lana doesn't care but Billie is under Interscope too and she's releasing this week so they wouldn't want 2 big releases in the same period (assuming it is indeed Lana's lead).

I don't think we'll have to wait too long tho cause Billie has no single out and it's going to be post album single(s) only so I doubt she'll go full promo for more than 2-3 weeks... 

June seems plausible and it's still very soon considering Ocean is not even 1.5 years old and Lasso coming in 2024 is almost confirmed so I don't mind waiting 

I think the Georgian cars are just a random video/example of the stunts he directs. Maybe he's teasing something similar for the MV but I doubt it's from the actual thing

She'd never do that, periodt. Nobody's ever done that.

 

What did the insider say exactly when they were talking about Tough?

They said that Lana recorded back in February a 3 minute song with Quavo and that it might make it into the album (Lana's) .

Then they recently posted some lyrics and confirmed the title.

I feel like it's too much of a coincidence that the lyrics and visuals (so far) are giving Lasso to not be for Lana's record (unless she wants to have a cohesive era even with the collabs before the album)

I wonder if Chuck or Neil are there... I need some bts pictures 

I also need blonde Lana in everything so I hope there are no old visuals on the album (even though she always shoots really early in the making...)

I know the snippet has guitars but I didn't picture that kind of visuals for the song 

Unless the beats are just for the outro and it's an acoustic song 

I wonder if it's multiple MVs or even an album trailer like someone said 

If Tough is for Lasso and we're getting it with a MV it's going to be the first time in ages that we get a real lead single with a proper MV to start an era 

We always get a random song she loves from the album first and then the "real lead".

Unless we get Henry or another track soonish and this is coming closer to the album release/announcement
