sunday afternoon

Well, I didn't follow everything about it but it seemed like a great night, with Lana resplendent and reminiscent of the glamour of her early days, she's beautiful. As for Jack, he seems to be kind, careful, a beautiful soul in life. He pays attention to others and seems to take care of others. For his music, he knocked Lana down for me. I rarely, if ever, listen to her new songs. I haven't even listened to OB in its entirety yet, and I don't know why but her work has definitely been boring and uninteresting since 2019. It pains me to write this because she still sings very well, she will remain a superior artist, her post-Covid albums remain a reference when you compare the crap of now but pfffffff, I don't know, I'm slowly losing interest. Her simplicity and authenticity as a person is always very pleasant in this environment though. On the other hand, as soon as an unreleased song comes out, I feel it like a new record, it's exciting and I come back to her. Because it feels good to remind us that she sang so many gems before. For me, Lana is really the woman and the artist before this period. I mean, if musical excellence had to have a name, it would be Lana Del Rey between 2010 and 2017. Honestly, everything was perfect, intimate, beautiful, sincere and so on. A little corner of the old Internet that was quite dark, with disturbing videos, it was really cool. That's all her. She transformed herself and her old albums created her myth. I have a lot of trouble with her new records, and I find her strangely overrated today (it's hard to write it) when her peak was clearly Born to die, Ultraviolence an absolute masterpiece, Honeymoon and LFL to a lesser extent. Let's not forget her soundtracks, absolutely sublime, stunning. I don't know... For me something broke artistically and it always makes me understand that artists have this need for success sometimes, for recognition and that they have to format themselves to stay in the race. I also don't like the fact that she became a "trend", at the wrong time, Tiktok is not Tumblr and it's pretty brutal let's say. Her songs are sullied by stupid videos, but that's the lot of all artists, they make their living on it. So Jack is not a bad guy, but someone who influenced her in the wrong musical direction. Softer, more peaceful certainly, apart from Blue Banisters, nothing is good in my opinion, that's just my opinion. At least, Lana is too "big", it doesn't fit with him. He can't highlight her and the albums fall flat. If the "country", "ethereal girl" side worked at the beginning, it becomes redundant now and painful that even reproduced, it becomes its own caricature. Lana will always remain that artist, special, intimate. Inspiring and touching. Gifted. An old soul that we view like an old book, old memories. Her old songs are a refuge. But there you go, I don't understand why she has so much success today with such average songs. If she had started her career the other way around, I would probably have missed it and so many others in my opinion. She is happier and less tortured, I admit that making such heavy albums must weigh on the mind, but not everything must disappear either eh (ONCE AGAIN I WROTE TOO MUCH SORRRRRRY )

Thanks for the topic. It's so... No words. I'm not surprised but it proves once again that the "conspiracy theorists" are right. It reminds me of those sordid things like Pizzagate, MK Ultra, Webcam p*do on Youtube etc, these things really do exist, everything is in our environment. All these vices in the eyes of everyone... We are servants P Diddy, ah. I have long felt something in this guy, his face gives off something mean, really and I never understood why he was so rich when he hasn't had any bigger hits for a long time, as well as these productions but I understand better. That's why I rarely buy music, we would like to trust, but all of Hollywood is a pile of sick people and perverts that we already know about, so... I feel very sorry for the victims and for the rappers who have unjustly disappeared, may justice be done. There are 2 artists that intrigue me in this case, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. I'm pretty sure and I feel it, there are very perverse things about them. They are untouchable, no one dares to contradict them, they have been buying the entire industry for years why? Fans need to open their eyes, and I have loved and admired both of them for a long time. We don't know anything, but the rest could be interesting. PS: If Diddy doesn't commit suicide with bullets in the back before he reveals everything

To join the Ozempic debate, I thought from the beginning that she did it, because I myself have injections (not Ozempic but another one that calms inflammation) that make me lose weight for a few years and it's a real fight to gain weight behind. I lost 18 kilos in less than 2 years, and it really shows in my face (I have the same thin features as Lana at the moment), and my body is really thin it's awful. Before when I didn't take anything, I did a lot of sport at home, and I had a muscular body, and a rather round face. After all, everyone is different. People don't throw stones at her, she just took the train like all celebrities, and we don't know much about it. But it makes sense, it's Lana Del Rey after all. I mean she lives in another world compared to us, she has a lot of money, and her life has always more or less revolved around more or less advanced techniques of cosmetics. Celebrities are one step ahead in treatments and care for weight loss and physique. In fact I think she combines both: sport and Ozempic that she must decrease over time to continue with sport. But after all, we do not know anything about it...

Well I see the news a little late, I am so happy for her. She deserves it. She looks so happy, and fulfilled and I think that is absolutely the most important thing. And without doubt, I have a feeling that this marriage (rushed?) was to act on good news, I think that Lana is pregnant or will be soon. 39 years old is not old for a child, as for the future father, there are many now who have children later and later. They will have enough to give them a good education in safety, so no worries. And this marriage reminds me why I appreciate this artist so much while she gravitates in the star system, it is because she is so human, and down-to-earth. I hope that few photos will be broadcast (except the one of her dress), it is a private event and it is probably better to keep it private given the cruelty of people. Seriously, who with such a level of celebrity, gets married like that today? I'm not saying there is no budget but it is a simple, beautiful and elegant wedding, with all the beauty of what she is: a girl, certainly rich, but a country girl who loves simplicity, real people, authenticity and life. Just the choice of this place shows her personality. I can understand that it confuses some because Lana (and possibly her image) has always been glamorous, smelling of luxury and vintage, her boyfriends and her acquaintances who were part of the "beauty", but the depth of this girl is there: She is a simple person. Personally, no one in this environment has given me such an impression. Remember Lizzy, her trailer parks, her beginnings when she gave food to the homeless, alcoholics anonymous, all that... She has a big heart and does not stop at superficial barriers. If she wasn't that person, she wouldn't be able to overact for long. Look how close she always is to people, from all walks of life, she doesn't care about her image because in the end people will still like her for who she is. And I love so much the fact that she didn't choose the most glamorous, the most polite, the richest, the most square of men. She lives like a girl from the back of beyond in the United States and she's right. I envy her. As for her politics, like it or not, after that she doesn't have to justify herself, nor like to pretend to be woke if she's not, and I think she doesn't even really think about it. Life is short. It's her wish and her life. We can't own people, and fortunately so. Of course, there are and will be a lot of disappointed, sad people here, but Lana is happy and a chapter is turning. Rest assured, she will never stop making music or writing because it is her life. It is her way of life. What would she do otherwise, she said it herself that she is not capable of doing anything else. It is her DNA. As for the correlations between her songs that talk about violence and her husband who beat her, I think we have to separate things. There is a lot of fiction, past events in her music, like many artists, writers. It is important not to copy certain things to her new relationship, and seriously, why would she marry a man who would treat her badly? I do not know her husband, but I hope for his sake that he will be strong enough to support the life of a celebrity because the media and people will be mean to him and it is a bit sad to see that physical appearance decides everything. Anyway, happiness, life and congratulations to them. May it last a long time.

Ah I can't believe I finally found this section. I also have the same problem since reconnecting to the site (I have not connected since September 2023 due to a problem with my computer and other devices). For some time now I've had this recurring problem: it's impossible to like comments from other forum members. It's a shame because we lose a bit of interaction, I followed the advice regarding cookies on Google Chrome and it doesn't work... I will try on another browser but nothing is guaranteed

Eww well I think everyone has the right to their opinion. I find Billie Eillish really bad on every level and that's my choice. Her voice is painful to listen to. I did say that I respected those who appreciated it, that’s life. We can't all agree and I don't think anyone can give me lessons on this subject, just as I don't have any to give you. Everyone thinks what they want, period.

I'm certainly older now to appreciate it, but after all my effort, I really don't like her music. As an independent artist maybe it would work because we say to ourselves that it's not great, it's listenable, but the disproportionate success she has, I really don't understand. She has a horrible voice, all the tics of the personalityless singer of recent years. No progress in pop for my part. And to say that she is a “queen” of alternative music, oh no certainly not. But I respect everyone's taste, if it works then it's because you like it after all.

Hey, I didn't come here because I had a violent hack that ruined my accounts and my computer. I came back to LanaBoards but I have a problem, when I want to put a ♥ like, they say that an error has occurred and I cannot like. How to resolve this please? And I have a little problem with the signature, I don't know how to add an image, or a gif... Thank you for helping me.

Months and months since I lost my account, well I found it... Well as for Dua Lipa's latest album, I really like it. And it wasn't a win because I didn't like Future Nostalgia which was basic and boring, very 2020, very Covid. She didn't stand out at all and honestly, I didn't follow her. And then I heard Houdini, and I got closer to her, well I was surprised by the turn and the production with Kevin Parker who I really like. I told myself that ultimately she was an artist who was involved in her project to make good sounds, and the psychedelic side was interesting because of her vision. We agree that we are far from the psychedelic side that attracted us here but I recognize that the album is a soothing pop record, personally I needed a record like that. I mean, it is well produced, soft, summery spring - summer, you want to sip a cold drink in the sun and not think about anything. It makes me think of the golden days of sunny singles from the 2010s that were played over and over on popular radio, something positive sprinkled with blue and white. The good years, less sad. Unpopular opinion but I really love the visual which is perfect. The simple but well-layered writing, the simple but beautiful visuals, really beautiful. It’s definitely a summer record that can lift your spirits. I understand the disappointment of those who expected something more impactful, but deep down I think it's an album that feels good, there's no big pretension, it just says "enjoy the sun, the seasons sunny, warm wind and relax.

It's so well said. Talking like an old person but dying is not a funny thing, and unless these people were terrorists or Hitler's enforcers, I don't think anyone on this planet rich or poor deserves to leave like this. The internet has made people insensitive, curious in the wrong way, and disrespectful. It's all good to be the winner of the contest of the one who will stand out the most. And it's not about to end with the number of leftovers exploding via these brainless applications.

I was really a fan of the concept at the time of the Poppy/Titanic/Mars trio, I thought it was genius. They were really good each one with the design of the project, the vision, the creativity and the really good music, they were all good, they deserved the success. The internet concept was well put together, both mysterious and satirical, all well done, it was exciting to follow And then the shit fell I hated Poppy and her bitchy attitude, respecting no one like a spoiled child, stalker and disrespectful towards Mars, Titanic and her abusive behavior towards her, poor Mars who had originally designed everything and should have had Poppy's place. I like her music less since she started doing metal, I think it doesn't suit her and it sounds wrong, but that's just my opinion. It's a shame because she is productive and executive in her work, but she is a problem, I don't appreciate her at all anymore. A hateful person and I hope the industry will turn their back on her, she deserves none of what is happening to her.

It's really horrible... Even if they are all rich, I can't imagine what they are going through or have been through if they are still alive I'm claustrophobic and can't watch or listen to the countdown without getting anxious Really weird that a submarine with such safety issues can be launched That we find them as soon as possible even if the clock is ticking

I'm glad you got it because I wanted to buy one of her perfumes or her teas The design is really cute and well done yeah, the fact that it's done in few copies makes it all more rewarding

Not panic She must be taking a break because she doesn't like having too many people on the accounts (note how she made it difficult to access her account, she didn't want to have too many people right away and leave it a bit confidential) There must be real pressure and she needs calm so as not to be bad as with the LDR account which had 20m subscribers and no longer ended... Her posts will be missed but she loves life and her loved ones so I think she just wants to enjoy the time with her dad who just released an album - she doesn't want to steal her time in my opinion She'll come back with another random account in a few weeks, it'll grow and she'll delete it again when it gets too big...a cycle she chose to adopt because she can't have an intimate account anymore.

A bit of drama around here but yeah the witchcraft all that, stay away from those people who practice that, even if you don't believe in it, please. People who do it want evil and always evil. You rot your life. Crazy stuff can happen after that (I know people I suspect are messing with it and I'm researching that right now) All these things about the occult are not to be taken lightly, misfortune can really happen, I have no respect for those who practice it to harm innocent people. Azealia is a person with too much hatred that can't manage to channel itself. As long as we don't drag this girl by force before a doctor with the obligation of care and forced internment for a few months, this girl will always be evil. And I feel sorry for her because deep down she's supposed to, and understands the world around her, but she's sick. One day she's really going to hurt someone and hurt herself.

I haven't followed her news for a while but I see that she has started selling soap? Some tea ? natural products? I like what she does, she puts her heart into it, but I have doubts about the arrival of the products. Does anyone know when she started her business and how it operates now? There isn't a lot of advertising around and I find the brand quite mysterious. It's a scam, isn't it? If not to talk about Azealia I still can't accept how this woman is a total mess. A wasted talent. Huge potential thrown away. She had made rap a more avant-garde genre than ever, and such an album. Such songs. She could dominate this world. I don't know what will become of her, if she is going to continue the music, I feel like she will never be stable because she will never get proper treatment. Do not expect anything more from her on an artistic level.

Oh great taste. I've listened to this song so many times over the years, my favorite with Blue flowers. Mazzy is such a gem.

She's an artist who runs after money, she's certainly very rich from her actions, her albums, the success she generates around her person, but not as much as one might think. The houses bought are "cheap" compared to the average Hollywood artist, she must have a good fortune of around 30 million dollars but does not spend as much as one would think because she does not need more than her daily life. I've seen quite a few artists complain about streaming services because it's very poorly paid, artists usually make their living touring, headlining and Lana does them all. I'm sure she is paid between 300K and 500K dollars (see 1M for the biggest festivals) per headlining show. I can't think of what she loses too. The unreleased are songs and lost wages for a majority. When she has her music, her films stolen. She is not credited for many things and I sincerely think that if she wanted to, she would become very very rich. I can't imagine if she launched a brand of vintage clothing, jewelry, shoes, makeup, paintings, unpublished photos and videos, documentaries, unpublished songs, Lizzy Grant in limited edition, NFT, auctions, poems in limited copies, biopic, museums, exhibitions, appearances... She has gold in her hands but I think it's worthy that she doesn't sell herself like a vulgar advertisement, she doesn't care.

I think it's a shame that she's getting really popular right now when her music is at its lowest, I mean she'll always make quality music but her first albums up to LFL were on such a level, frankly little artists managed to release records like that. (I haven't listened to Ocean...still I'm late) All those people who hated Ultraviolence back then, and Paradise, LFL the whole heyday of her career grrr, it kinda pisses me off to see trends on her on the networks now when the best is over. She wins, that's the main thing, but people didn't understand who she really was. She's not just an aesthetic person. Of the 3 albums: NFR!, COTCC, Blue Banisters remains my favorite. Not the best but definitely the most Lana. It's peaceful, a bit old in sound, underrated. I like the way it came out, all in discretion. An intimate side like AKA. "Say yes to heaven" is the most soporific, boring demo of all time, of all the demos I didn't want her to use this one but it's done and people are happy with it. It's a beautiful song but there is better. Fine China, Your girl, Cult leader (and others) cannot be trashed I find her writing a little overrated, I like this way of revealing himself now, while putting his Lanadelreyesque elements (the colors, the cities, the boyfriends, the cars, the family, the animals) but I think that she has done better in the past, Black beauty, Brooklyn baby, it goes straight to the point and it's beautiful to listen to. I would like her to go further and open up a little more to the world while keeping her touch. I preferred when she hung out with guys like Barrie, she hung out with better musicians. Jack doesn't inspire her that much. The result of all this is that she seems happier, calmer and in tune with herself. She will have other moments in the future I'm sure.

Cool and interesting. THANKS

Halo is a powerful song but this version is interesting, atmospheric. Goldfrapp is perfection.

I'm a little late, but Portal is such a good album! Clearly above K-12, too generic and cluttered, here we have a nice musical consistency with a pop rock touch of the 90/00's. Nice disc with good production quality. Glad you enjoyed it. Melanie is good at bringing her creations to life with originality, personality and a lot of perfectionism. Passionate artist it becomes rare. Only downside is her costume, I don't understand how she could have become a fairy after CB, but it's her story I guess.

I liked the interview and Rob is a super cool dad, but we already knew that. Interesting on the part where he says he is very self-taught, I would not have thought. Talent ! Lana and her family are very lucky to have him, because a parent who is so involved necessarily gives strength to those around him. When he says he didn't really contribute to Lana's fame, I'm torn because it's obvious that her privileged background helped her BUT he's right when he says she was made alone. I mean, Lana is an original and her universe no money can expand it that way. It's her world that she has shaped in her own way, and things have unfolded... If she was poor, I think she would be the same, some even. She is authentic because she doesn't really follow fashions but what her creations can bring her personally, not worthy of a big industrial machine after all. It's a wealth to be able to live your passion and take your family on board, I even find that it softens your image in the eyes of people who don't know her too well. Rob's album will be sublime, restful and sweet.
