Red Dress

then we win

I want her to re-embrace her sultry vixen side, now that she's gone through the cathartic, vulnerable stuff. Obviously I'm not expecting her to return to her younger style (she's older and more mature like the rest of us) but I want some kind of voluptuous, sexy vibe. Like sonically I'm after some 'Million Dollar Man' and 'Your Girl'' 'Gods & Monsters' 'Hollywood's Dead' 'Terrence Loves You' 'Yayo' kind of sounds, with stuff like 'Thunder' 'Dealer' and 'Wait For Life'. Bring Back Emile for the big sound production, with some 'Is This Happiness', 'Heroin', 'Beautiful Player',  'Black Beauty', 'Shades Of cool' 'JFK' 'Buddy's Rendezvous'' and '13 Beaches' type of tracks in there for slower dramatic dreaminess. 
 
I was also obsessively listening to 'Playing Dangerous' recently and the way she had sampled some old 60's girl band stuff reminded me of a couple of the songs on Adele's last album. I love that retro groove (and it could possibly help to get her a 'chart-worthy song that appeals to the masses), so some stuff like that, maybe channelling some Dusty Springfield drama. (This sort of thing could really work with a bit of Mark Ronson magic)
 
Being in Alabama though I think we are going to see some country vibe, and I really hope that if she does, she takes it in the direction of Amanda Shires (her recent album 'Take It Like A Man' has a few tracks on there that would suit Lana's voice. (Everyone should listen to that album, as well as Shires's 'Down Came The Doves album; trust me, you'll love them both)  And if she could get on board with some dramatic country 'Murder Ballads' she would absolutely "kill" it.
 
(If she's thinking of incorporating some southern state, working class vibe and references anything do with waitressing in restaurants, I'd LOVE her to shake it up with some dreamy, 'Twin Peaks' sounds and iconography. She could really shine in that vein)
 
(Just please don't work with, or even mention Nikki fricking Lane again please. That chick is drab AF) 
 
If I were to get my absolute perfect album it would be Lana collaborating with Nick Cave for some dark, haunting and brooding, American Gothic inspired murder ballads and dramatic
storytelling, with some of it potentially set amid a beautiful, crumbling, antebellum mansion. I would die a very happy woman if that combo ever came together! 
 
I'm also so over trying to shoehorn political crap and clumsy, out of place tokenism, into music. Stop trying to prove to the crazy far leftists that you're not a racist, homophobe or whatever the insult du jour happens to be. Fuck what anyone thinks or says if you just happen to make an album without a bunch of other women and non-white people in it, that's perfectly fine. I'm not saying to avoid working with people of any stripe based on their identity. I just want things to be organically complimentary to the themes and musicality of the songs. You can never appease the mad people. Just focus on making the best music you possibly can with the best people for the job. (which incidentally precludes Nikki Lane from even being allowed to set foot in the studio, lol!
 
I want dark, sexy, seductress Lana, embracing her femininity, but with that dramatic vixen vibe she owns so well.
 
Jazzy, dark and sexy. Bring sexy back Lana!
 
(And if 'Children Of The Bad Revolution' or 'Catch and Release' could be reworked to modernise them in a way that made them still relevant, would be awesome. But I obviously have  tendency to want and hope for the absolute impossible. But she really does have to work with Nick Cave at some point. They would be perfect together. Someone needs to make it happen!)

This sound is called classic LDR paradise-UV era combined with honeymoon and just for life . 
everything we need for the next album 🌴🌊

I'm totally manifesting a reworked version of 'Dum Dum', sluttily slowed down and given an ethereal angelic bit in there as a contrast.
 
(Yeah I haven't slept in nearly 3 days so my brain is all over the place. So apologies for my weird, over-analysed, scrutiny of her entire back catalogue - including the unreleased stuff - I'm just hyper AF. Coming back to the boards, to then get hyped over a new album we know nothing about, probably wasn't the smartest idea. I really need to take some sleeping tablets and go to bed. Sorry again for sperging out so much, lol.)

No but like the title track, A&W, Candy Necklace for example have the very similar vibe to the "old" Lana

I’m kind of over the songs where she mentions or sings about family members / friends 
Need a return to the classic and iconic songwriting from 2012-2017

I don't think she moved on from the theme of death yet. Now I need a full fledged album on philosophical view about mortality and afterlife with a sprinkle of religious connotations. Make it Gothic and bring back the Catholic aesthetics. 

This, please. 🙏🏻 Three sad albums and feeling "super suicidal" was enough. A bit of energy, Lanita, por favor. Something we can shake our booties too. And not only 2 mins of Jimmy Jimmy cocoa puff - we want the real deal. Bangers like Off to the Races, Doin' Time, Blue Jeans, High by the Beach, Summer Bummer, Summertime Sadness, National Anthem...
 
Beat-drvem songs you can dance to are my favorite of hers but they're truly truly the rarest kind of Lana song. And it feels like she's been too depressed to produce any and keep herself in the realm of pop. Three albums without them (Chemtrails, BB, OB), four if you count Violet, and I'm on my last breath. Alt Lana is great, but pop Lana was so much fun! Is she really gone-gone? 😫

i wish there was a revival of how every lana album felt different
BTD to UV to HM to LFL were all major transitions, but NFR to COTCC to BB to DYKTTATUOB have all stayed in the same realm, sonically
we need a major switch up
 

I’m still malding over the fact that on the physical record (vinyl) that they are different sides so you can’t listen to it uninterrupted 
Mother should unironically start a tumblr account and bring on the tumblr revival

i would love for ldr10 to be half jazzy, a mix of honeymoon (album) with buddy's rendezvous and the other half like if cherry and a&w had a child, overall eerie vibes like in candy necklace and make it sexy and sluty, maybe jon batiste involvement would help it 

fishtail aged so terribly for me unfortunately..  so i too hope we don’t get an album full of jack antonoff-trap songs
 

Okay but FR this sounds exactly like something I could hear her releasing, on her country style album. She has the right kind of vocal flexibility to go in with either a deep voice, or her much higher "head voice"....or a combo of the two.

I want her to re-embrace her sultry vixen side, now that she's gone through the cathartic, vulnerable stuff. Obviously I'm not expecting her to return to her younger style (she's older and more mature like the rest of us) but I want some kind of voluptuous, sexy vibe. Like sonically I'm after some 'Million Dollar Man' and 'Your Girl'' 'Gods & Monsters' 'Hollywood's Dead' 'Terrence Loves You' 'Yayo' kind of sounds, with stuff like 'Thunder' 'Dealer' and 'Wait For Life'.

Lowkey want Mike Dean to produce a few trap songs for this album, it would be incredible 

I really do not want Jack as the main producer for LDR 10.
 
I LOVE NFR and I think his impact on this great album can't be denied. However, I feel like the reason for this is that that album thrives on the newly discovered chemistry between Jack and Lana, they inspired each other a lot and therefore created something exciting and new (similar to what habend with Dan Auerbach for UV).
 
This spark is however missing from a lot of the stuff they did afterwards. You can still hear it on standout tracks like White Dress or A&W - but both of these were tracks Lana and Jack singled out as exciting collaborations themselves.
 
For most of the rest of their work together, it feels more like Lana had hin since she likes him and feels comfortable working with him. But that also meant he gave the "standard Antonoff treatment" to her demos and - at least in my opinion - that leads to a rather bleak and unexciting output.
 
When Lana worked with  Rick as her "comfort zone producer", it still felt like he was giving the songs a much more unique, Lana-specific sound. Jack on the other hand has a temdency of making everything sound alike, with a kinda vague and non-committing quality. 

i wouldn't mind something soft & sunny where you can see waves rolling in & out of your mind. something dreamy & surfy, maybe with little hints of psychedelia & country & some soft beats in there too. anyone else feeling this vibe?

Rick is the main producer!!!!!
 
Her new sound is Reminiscent to honeymoon

I don't know what to expect sound wise, I just hope she does more in the vein of Let the Light In   what an amazing song.

I want a crazy incohesive dark hyperjazz mess so:
Lolita & Million Dollar Man
Shades of Cool & PWYC
Honeymoon & Art Deco
Cherry & Heroin
California & FIILY
Arcadia & BBS
Candy Necklace & Peppers
And none for Chemtrails
 

All I’m asking for is for the return of bridges in her songs, like all of them.
 
It like teleports you, I need it 

All I’m asking for on this record is something like Shades Of Cool, not even like a guitar heavy song but something with a really explosive loud bridge with gorgeous mumbling beneath it, like it is a need 
 
Like if it was super jazzy with lots of different brass instruments
