Florida Dark

To be realistic, I don't think there are more than two singles planned for this album anymore, the wait is just too long. The next one will probably be released only a week before the album release and after that there won't be any more. 

someone remind me to update this picture every week

Somehow Charlie is channeling FJM

a new week

maybe they will start posting when we get the first magazine cover 

I don’t mind if this account is controlled by Ben or a marketing team, just as long as they don’t pretend to be Lana. Like I don’t want some faux Lana captions if it’s not actually her..

Rita Ora? She might as well have followed Satan 

same i felt so nostalgic listening to her old songs </3

Looks like a Nicole Nodland outtake

AHHGAHAGGAA

My childhood 

She's a 3-dimensional human being like anyone else. Your perception of her is constructed out of what she's made public, you don't actually know her, and I find it insanely presumptuous that you think you know her more than herself

she does have a deep connection to them, you can see how their works inspire her music. posting them on instagram doesn’t mean anything; she’s not a teenager who’s gonna post a random instagram story of leonard cohen to show she listens to oldies. most likely she posts about modern artists to support them. and how doesn’t madison’s music fit with her interests when she makes heartbreak songs? how doesn’t rap fit with her interests when it was the backbone of her early music? also it doesn’t even matter if it “fits with her other interests” people can listen to multiple genres. like is she supposed to only listen to jazz/blues/indie music?
 
as for the “lana doesn’t know what she really wants”, why does she have to have a solid style? she’s an artist and music is her paintbrush, she has different moods and different experiences that affect what her music currently sounds like. in no way does she have to find a definite style. i don’t think she’s trying to sound different. i’m a songwriter and sometimes i write in an r&b freestyle way, sometimes in a taylor swift storytelling way, etc. there’s not a deep reason for it, it’s really as simple as one fits my current mood better. i’m sure it’s the same for lana, she’s not trying to be different she’s just making music that fits her emotional environment at the moment. she’s always evolving and finding new inspiration. 

i'm sure many will agree but the homemade music video for blue jeans fits the song a lot more than the "official" version

I’m a few pages behind so I might’ve missed the producer discussion but I’m just glad we have a more varied production team this time around.
 
Having a single main producer just results in the album sounding like a Jack project or a Drew project. With them both (among others + the samples), they’ll hopefully keep each other in check and the result should be a nice balance. I hope. 

i relistened to btd and idk what it is about them but some of the songs feel so unlike lana to me now even though before they sounded so quintessentially lana, especially dark paradise and summertime sadness

take it to the unpopular opinions discussion thread okay 

I think Lana was just explaining the creation of the song, she recorded something on a whim on her voice notes and sent it over to Drew who added orchestra and they realized they had something special. I don't think she necessarily meant the final track was her voice notes. Even the short snippet sounds very polished to me.

I have 100% faith in Drew 
 
Fingertips is the one I'm nervous for though, only because she mentioned it being her voice app with reverb slapped on. That gives me 'idc about vocal' vibes and that was my biggest complaint with BB. Production wasn't one of my complaints with BB, and with the same people working on the song I'm not worried about it at all

Agree. Feels more of a caricature of the person Lana is. But that album is definitely a classic now
