Catgirl

This constant pressure on female musicians to keep delivering and reinventing themselves with each release is very telling. Lana already delivered a baroque hip-hop album, a 70s rock album, an orchestral, jazzy and trap hybrid, an album with an amalgamation of all of these sounds (LFL), an indie singer-songwriter album, a folk album and Blue Banisters (which I can’t really describe or put in one specific genre). What else do you want her to do? Have the same sonic approach or lyrical subjects she had 10 years ago? I keep running into comments such as “there is no growth” that always provide little to no explanation or substance to it and we’re supposed to not question them? I’m not even remotely interested in changing other people’s opinions, I’m just curious as to why blanket statements like these keep getting made.

And then put me in a movie begins
 
 
p.s just now I thought how controversial it would be to have a preacher on a audio and then comes put me in a movie right after it

Do we know if they shot a music video for the title track?

It's just his voice saying And God said, Let there be light and then Lana starts with Lights, camera, acción!

Jack Antonoff having writing credit on the pastor interlude is giving me hope that it's nothing too preachy or controversial 

Gorgeous  I think it’s safe to bet this still Neil posted is from the music video 

Okay but why anyone good at editing has not posted her old album artworks in the style of Ocean Blvd yet? 

BOZ said one specific thing that hits double hard when its relatable.. to enjoy her newer music since 2021 we need to let old style lana go... thats just really true, and accept the literal growth of her vision and poetry to be able to say free that i enjoy it, this is what ive always felt the lack of since nfr, and im really happy i finally understanding it, so im very excited for this intimate autobiographical masterpiece to destroy me

i think the Americunts are sleeping

not this 
 
 

I never thought Lana and Chuck looked much alike, but I see a lot of Chuck in this one, I thought it was her the first time I saw it.  

YESSSS i'm so glad i bought the white one
i guess it's unofficially the "boob" vinyl now

I feel like this album is going to be big (NFR big). Already it's had way more promo and attention than BB, and I think has been received in a more positive manner than COCC did (I think because COCC came after the controversy). IDK I think she's back on track to making BIG albums again, because I think the last 2 were enjoyed by fans and fans only.
 

Also, only Lana can show two of her ex-boyfriends in the visuals of the album. That's funny. 
 
 

Madonna was 47 when she released "Confessions on a Dance Floor", an acclaimed and impactful dance record. I'm sure we'll hear from Lana her own version of it: something completely new for her and something that will change the music industry, too. 

I feel like this album is going to be like LFL in some ways. Variety of sound, something for everyone, etc
The summary and pinnacle of the NFR/COCC/BB era
As LFL was to BTD/UV/HM
 

like yeah it’s nothing groundbreaking for her but it’s classic lana, the production is better than most things on cocc and bb, the song doesn’t sound empty of muffled, has good lyrics, the production is grand and rich, you hear orchestra, you hear an electric guitar, there’s a bridge…and it’s only 1 song out of 16 like can some people stop whining already 
 
Every single sign points into a great direction this time and to something miles ahead of her last two records yet some people are STILL not happy bc iTs nOt uLtRaViOlEncE or trap 

sorry but this song its going to be some classic shit, that bridge and then the chorus and the outro 10/10 If it is not clicking for you I think that with the full album you will see the vision of the song

I’m currently at work and I catch myself singing “don’t forget me” part. Instant classic 

If she's really going for the home-made experimental vibe she should go full-Lizzy with the music videos

ok i do agree lana needs to step out of california/the southern states…i cant imagine the album she’d make if she got inspired by new york again 

i think it was just a mistake tbh 
cuz u can only see those 4 songs on like two mock-ups on one specific site and it’s super LQ

The single sounds very inspired to these ears! It has so much going on but it doesn’t ever sound overproduced. I love the palpable sense of urgency for something to survive you in the grander scheme of things. She must know by now her inimitable artistry won’t be forgotten so she speaks instead about a more general cosmic insignificance. It sounds like a truism but I do take it for granted how we have the brief honor of finding beauty in living/touching the souls of others from different walks of life. I’m totally on board with this era. 

DON'T FORGET ME
