Lanafa

Me when I'm Jenny 

One thing about me is that I always forget what the snippets sound like no matter how many times I listen to them  I completely forget what TJF sounded like until the album came out and I had the "oh yeah, now I remember" moment lol. I've been able to remember the snippet for Blue Banisters, though, so I'm taking that as a good sign

WELL..... let the clownery commence ? 

Welcome to the Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
Annual Discussion & Meltdown!
 
On July 3rd, 2021 Lana Del Rey posted the following image to Instagram, seemingly the album cover for Blue Banisters, with the caption "TBD"
 
 
On April 27th, 2021 Lana Del Rey posted to Instagram announcing her next upcoming record titled "Blue Banisters" to be released on July 4th. The day before the claimed release date, she stated the album would be out "later later."
 
 
On March 20th, 2021, Lana Del Rey posted to Instagram announcing her next release titled "Rock Candy Sweet" to be released June 1st. At first it was believed to be an album, but since Blue Banisters' announcement, it is now believed to be a possible song/lyric from the retitled album. Exactly what this announcement was for and the exact nature of the "Rock Candy Sweet" project is currently unclear and unknown.
 
 
In early March of 2020, Lana revealed to MusicWeek magazine that she is working on two albums, one of which she already has a title in mind for.
“She’s already got two albums in mind, I think,” says [her manager] Ed Millett.
So, are there already words or titles that Lana is homing in on?
“Spending so much time in a close circle of country music friends, I could see one option for a title coming from that,” she hints. “I also have a secondary title I like that summed up 18 months of my life.”
 
 
 
 
What we know so far:
-  Lana originally announced the record 'Rock Candy Sweet' in response to an article by Harpers Bazzar, where she stated she would be "Challenging those thoughts [about her career being built on cultural appropriation and glamourising domestic abuse"] in her upcoming record. In the same announcement, she also stated that she "wants revenge."
- Producer Mike Dean will be working on the project. In an interview with Fantano, he confirmed he was working on songs for her upcoming record. When asked if he was going to incorporate either piano & strings or synths in the production, he stated "I would mesh them both I think. You got to stay true to the original, but you can definitely do your twist on it, you know?"
- The first three singles from the album titled 'Blue Banisters', 'Text Book', and 'Wildflower Wildfire' are rumoured to drop on Thursday, May 20th according to a reliable insider. The singles are said to all have the same car selfie as the cover edited in different ways.
- Other producers/composers that are involved include Gabriel Edward Simon, Sage Skolfield, and Sean Solymar.
- The album will be piano-led and features many "pretty ballads" as per an insider.
-The album will contain more than 11 tracks as per an insider.

my heart is pounding just thinking about the release day, and those few seconds before you drop the needle or click the play button where you're just in so much anticipation to hear the album, i think i will be really fidgety and fussy before playing it, like a part of me will not want to play it because im enjoying the anticipation so much that i dont want it to end, and the other part is dying to hear it, also i will need to make sure i am 100% feeling good before so, i will need to be the perfect level of drunk or high, i will need to have the perfect make up and hair, and i will need to have the perfect room temperature... idk if thats just me but yeah, only with lana albums cus hello... lana

I remember her saying (in an interview?) something along the lines of she disliked looking back on the trailer park interview because she remembered feeling like a big shot even though she wasn't
 
Since the other lyrics reference her fame, what if the trailer park interview, her first taste of fame, was what made her feel like a god 
 
 

I really don't think that's the case. I think she's apprehensive because she's nervous about the album and the vulnerabilities that she shows on it. Mojo referred to an explicit autobiographical edge so it sounds like she's going to get into some things. She's had a really rough year with the public so it would be extremely nerve-racking to put yourself out there when you know people are eager to tear down everything you do. It's gonna be a stunner, I could not be more excited. 

Bone-colored curtain-type clothing out in 3 hours team delulu 

and where's the fun otherwise? the satisfaction you'll get when you hear the acronyms sung to your ears for the first time? the pleasure of finally every description, tease, subliminal message or hint clicking and making sense in your brain? that's fact bestie.

Oh God miss receiving tips 
It's me ur lil waitress bitch 

i just realized that in brooklyn baby she says "i think we r like the wind and sea" and in cocc its " you're in the wind I'm in the water"

I finally been able to hear it in full... and it is stunning!!! It already has so many subtle layers... and I now get the “ Midwestern” vibes. 

Everytime i hear the snippet from TJF it gets better and better!!!!

i go back to lanaboards. 
take a look at my life.
where are the COCC leaks? 
and where are all the insider’s? 

Made another album cover (how many times will I keep doing this?  )! What I imagine a cover shot by Neil Krug could look like. I would love if she adopted a luxury air-travel aesthetic!
