    Last time I felt this catchiness from her melodies was when she released Chemtrails the title track, I think pre-chorus in WCE is almost as great as COCC’s chorus, the song itself isn’t just as polished but I don’t mind it, it reminds me of her Ultraviolence ~messiness~… this is Lana in her best form once again.

    The way she says “why you always doin’ that” in the second verse with the shadowy layered vocals behind

    I always feel bad when I see people aren’t liking the direction she’s going in. I respect all opinions and it sucks to be disappointed in your favorite artist’s releases, and I’ve tried to figure out why mid/post-NFR tracks sound so different from her older material. 
     
    What I’ve decided is that, especially with the adoption of her spoken poetry, she said she likes almost freestyling and making very few edits to things—just letting them be what they are. I think she lived by this dogma in the beginning with AKA, where everything felt and sounded like it had spontaneous air in the mix. 
     
    Once she was signed by a big label, naturally they try to boil it down to a concentrate—cut out any stray frequencies, smooth and condense her voice, have crisp instrumentals keen for radio and movie play, etc.
     
    I had liked Lana’s music in the past, but I really became a stan with the release of Mariner’s and Venice Bitch, because, while I hadn’t heard much from UV or anything at the time, I felt I could hear her true artistry come through in those tracks, with their lo-fi, vocal-center approach. It captured the electricity of a live performance, of an artist creating and breathing in real-time that sounded so different from the slick, airtight productions on the radio or sleek, older material of hers that I was familiar with.
     
    I think she’s leaned even further into that after her work with Jack. We’ve heard her collaborators say that she’s done vocals in one take, or how she literally wrote and recorded White Dress on the spot while Jack played some chords. I think, above all lately, she values organicness—the feeling of catching lightning and bottling up that emotion right away, to present it as it was at that moment in time, and not revisit it. While I agree it has led to some more human “errors” (slightly wrong notes, lags in timing, fuzzy gear playback), I feel this is all so hyper-intentional in her art now, almost like a protest of the modern music industry. It’s almost like her trajectory has been a circle to get back to that spontaneity she felt with AKA.
     
    I really appreciate that art and feel it is true to her acoustic, songwriting soul, but at the same time I see how far that is from the BTD—and even Honeymoon—sound, for example. I definitely feel empathy for the people who don’t love it as much and just wanted to type out my thoughts in case it resonated with anyone. Artists’ journeys have always been so interesting to me, and Lana’s is certainly one of the most uniquely interesting ones we’ve had to witness, as one of the first true viral stars to reigning indie/alt queen of the music counterculture.

    Hi all, I’m so sorry for the site being offline for so long. A lot of it was just communication with my hosting provider, as they were really slow in getting back to me. Essentially, as we began getting an increase in traffic around Blue Banisters release, I moved us to a larger server, however it was more expensive and I usually auto-bill it monthly to the account that hosts our Adsense funds but at the beginning of the new year I had to pay some of the annual site fees and we didn’t make enough last month in Adsense to have some leftover for hosting and I didn’t realise so they temporarily suspended my account
    That being said, please consider whitelisting us if you use Adblock as 100% of the funds go back into hosting the site! We also offer a low-cost ad-free subscription & accept donations. (DM @admin if interested) I’ve also been planning to offer other subscription packages with other perks, but haven’t gotten everything set up for that yet skkk but I’ll work on it!
    i also just want to take this time to remind you all that even though this was just a billing issue, THIS COULD BE OUR FATE if illegal links to leaks of copyrighted content are shared on the site! So, if this downtime scared you a bit, just remember it the next time you think about sharing an illegal link. 
    Anyway, my apologies again! 
    xx

    Hi all, just wanted to pop in with a quick note before I’m off to sleep.
    Please do not share any snippets that may be related to the Euphoria song. If you do, you will be banned. As you all may have seen, a user did post a supposed snippet earlier and they have been banned for precaution; however, if the snippet ends up being unrelated to this Euphoria song their ban will be lifted. If it is related to the song, the ban will stand. The same will apply to anyone else who shares a snippet that may be related to the Euphoria track.
    I’m also going to go through this thread tomorrow and clean it up a bit, moving off topic posts, fights, spams, etc out of this thread.
    Thank you all for your understanding and cooperation. I know any sort of release time can get kind of messy, so I appreciate those who make it easier on the mod team! Only a little over a week now until we’re blessed with a new song! Luv u, gn! Xx

    I hardly think its that she ‘stopped caring’…
    this is just who she is now. periodt.
    get on board or get left behind.
    shes above hits and big songs, shocking that this is even still a topic of discussion since shes been steadily going down this path for years.

    Lol this is maybe the most Canadian exp I've ever had but... I never bothered to look up the lyrics for IYLDWM and totally thought she sings, "Get into your truck and pick me up, EH."
     
    I even got a bit like "" when that part would come, with the North in me moving.
