    A&W is incredible.
     
    She primes the listener so brilliantly with the opening lines' mention of her childhood and her mother. That serves to function as a precursory explanation for why "it's not about having someone to love [her] anymore," and why she now is embarking on the experience of an American Whore  –––– which is then developed throughout the song and depicted as a byproduct of her early formative experiences AND how heavily she has been berated by the media. She has internalized projections of herself, which came from her externalized interactions with others (in her early childhood and in her career 2011–onward), which has changed the way she conducts herself altogether. Sociology queen! 

    The lyrics are confessional, yet so coded at the same time. She has mastered the art of revealing so much while keeping things completely abstract. 
     
    "Jimmy" is SUCH an unexpected, yet welcome sonic twist. It is a true melodic embodiment of the completely uninhibited quality she sings about in the first ~4 minutes of the track. 
     
    And let's talk about the killer one-liners that evoke Question for the Culture (which is now becoming a centre-point for lyrical interweaving between songs in the grander LDR narrative). Lines like "Do you really think I give a damn what I do after years of just hearing them talking?" / "Do you really think anybody would think I didn't ask for it?" / "I'm testifying, you already fucked up my story on top of this," / and "Did you know a singer can still be looking like a side-piece at thirty-three?" are just feral. I use this phrase very sparingly, but – she ate.
     
    This album is going to be a new pinnacle in her discography.

    I mean, look at my hair
    Look at the length of it there and the shape of my body
    If I told you that I was raped
    Do you really think that anybody would think I didn't ask for it, didn't ask for it?
    Didn't testify, already fucked up my story
    Top of this (Mm), so many other things you can't believe
    Did you know a singer can still be looking like a side piece at thirty-three?
    God's a charlatan, don't look at me
    Puts the shower on while he calls me
    Seems like a bad time to talk to me
    I'm invisible, look how you hold me
    I'm invisible, I'm invisible
    I'm a ghost now, look how you hold me now
     
    The fact that she outdid WW with this one. This is so fucking brutal.

    Even tho we all keep making great comparisons that totally make sense this song is also unlike anything else I’ve ever heard??? Like songs like this don’t even exist yet? She’s here to change music all over again

    Everyone saying how the second part sounds like Lizzy Grant, but honestly the guitar in the first part is like taken from the AKA book

    i love that billie was mostly listening and sitting there eating her food and let Lana do these iconic ass monologues in the interview like she's so real for that

    DEL REY: Right. I think that also, people are being a lot more careful with what they say. I remember my first big interview with Rolling Stone for Ultraviolence. He asked me about the song “Sad Girl.” Where it goes: [sings] “I’m a sad girl, I’m a sad girl, I’m a sad girl.” He said, “At 29, don’t you feel uncomfortable calling yourself a girl?” I was like, “You mean instead of?” And he said, “Well, a woman. I mean, you’re like 30.” I was really caught off guard because I wanted to talk about how I mixed my own album with this guy Robert Orton. Then, I said, “Well, what about that Jennifer Lopez song [‘Girls’] or the Beyoncé song ‘Girls Run the World’? I think she’s older than me.” And he was like, “That’s different. That’s a fun song.” I don’t feel like those kinds of questions get asked anymore. For me, it was trial by fire. It’s definitely a different era now.

    Reading comprehension is a dangerous thing for a user on lanaboards.com to have

    That would imply that her team is competent enough to notice they're in the wrong order to begin with

    Well, WE are 
     
    And let’s not forget YouTube before that, for posting the album title and OG release date in the caption of Arcadia 
    seriously though, does it ever happen to any other artist, to have info leak through OFFICIAL media / steaming services?

    Sorry but her team has no reason to be angry …. They have left us completely dry for 2 months and this is also not the first time this has happened with a song obviously supposed to come out on a certain day and then being delayed. Ultimately it’s THEIR fault we know anything anyway so either do something interesting or shut up

    let's see:
    - we have basically all information on the album and we completely milked discussion of the one released song & 2 confirmed snippets
    - the one insider we could actually turn to almost got phished and rightfully has not returned
    - we have brainless people come on here all day and either spout hatred, actual nonsense, or ask questions that aren't even relevant to this thread
    - sane people who actually have lives are living their lives because there's nothing of substance happening here
    is there anything else? i might've missed something

    Girl... It's been said many times that everything was recorded from 2021 to 2022. Everything is new. No old material.
