happy 54 pages of hopes & dream

I want her to make something that will make my jaw drop 

I would LIVE for an album with the sound of Violets

im always hoping for a hard rock album a la Halestorm or Evanescence

Well everyone… the time has come.
 
Welcome to the LDR9 Pre-Pre-Release Thread - Annual Discussion & Meltdown!
 
Lana Del Rey has revealed to W Magazine that a new, still untitled album is in the works.
"I’ve been practicing meditative automatic singing, where I don’t filter anything. I’ll just sing whatever comes to mind into my Voice Notes app. It’s not perfect, obviously. There are pauses, and I stumble. But I’ve been sending those really raw-sounding files to a composer, Drew Erickson, and he’ll add an orchestra beneath the words, matching each syllable with music and adding reverb to my voice. For this new music, it’s more just like: I’m angry. The songs are very conversational. For the first song, I pressed record and sang, “When I look back, tracing fingertips over plastic bags, I think I wish I could extrapolate some small intention or maybe get your attention for a minute or two.” It’s a very wordy album."
 
 
What we know so far:
- Lana will make an announcement about the album on December 7th, as stated in an Interview on November 30th, 2022
- Lana is working on an untitled album with a completed opening track, confirmed in her interview with W Magazine in May 2022

Happy birthday to the 3 surprise singles!
 
What a glorious day that was, I remember being so shocked that we were getting not one but three new songs so soon after Chemtrails was out, and then being completely blown away by the emotion and maturity of the tracks. All 3 are masterpieces and such gorgeous parts of this album.

Unrealistic but imagine if these more lively, unheard songs Jack mentioned are going to have arrangements from Erickson added & that’s why Lana posted photos of both of them
 
Like, picture Cinnamon Girl/Venice Bitch/TJF/FIILY/Doin’ Time with orchestral elements. Is it likely? No. Will I keep dreaming? Yes

ok so heres my thoughts on her clearly working with Jack again for LDR9:
Jack can clearly give us a banger of an album, look at NFR (he also did Melodrama & Reputation and some amazing tracks on Lover). I think what soured people on him was Chemtrails, and honestly I think that album would have been on FIRE had the pandemic never happened. I really wish Lana had waited a bit longer for the pandemic to clear up and for her to get more studio time with jack for the songs on chemtrails. The first 4 songs were so good because they were done and ready pre-pandemic, and then the rest struggled with the fact Lana and Jack couldn't meet and get in the studio together (hence why the end of chemtrails seems more half assed and she started contemplating putting older songs like Dealer on it to fill up space)
Now that lana has jack all to herself and in person, and the fact he spent his literal birthday in the studio for lana...they HAVE to be coming up with something good, its giving the little insta live videos we had of them working in the studio on How to Disappear etc! Im VERY EXCITED

we're def getting LDR9 news soon 

Dreaming of Nameless Coasts
The album cover is Lana sitting on the steps to a vintage beach house in an elaborate gown as it starts to flood.

i didn’t see anybody move on this (maybe because of the date or the Cult Leader leak), but what interests me, if the info is true, is that there are three other songs she submitted to HBO alongside WCE… and I think those could be what Eclipse and a couple of others heard,  months ago… Maybe they are part of LDR9?

the way we’ve made 300+ pages from milking…
-DNC theories,
-Rob/Lana/Jack D. Instagram posts
-1 questionable screenshot of a Rick Nowels reply
-the “trilogy” comment 
 
honestly our minds amaze me. Imagine this thread when we get a shred of concrete news
 

I'm hoping she'll do another livestream like she did on Blue Banisters release day tbh. That was a really good idea and although she didn't talk a lot about the album, the insight we did get was fun and I'd love to have her do another 

My dream rollout for LDR9: 
April:
 
May:
 
June: 
 
July: 
 
August:
 
And that's it, a concise and "short" rollout with "only" 4 months between lead and album with someting releasing every month but without spoiling too much 
 
 
 

I have never experienced such awful customer service like this, here is the emails that was sent and received if anyone is interested:

My first email contacting them after getting the cancelation email + the email that the CD was shipped;
 

Then they responded with this;
 

My response to that email;
 

I got the email that the CD was shipped to me so I sent them another email;
 

They responded with this;
 

Waited 3-5 working days (still no refund to be seen) so I sent them this;
 

Still no reply so I sent them another email;
 

So there. They had their chances but I'm not getting an email back from them and still no full refund to be seen so I'm done and contacting my bank provider. Never had to do this before in regards to an order online and I have ordered a lot of shit online. The communication from Aliexpress sellers is literally better than this, I have no words.

That’s what happened with the customers service 
(don’t f with me during aries season)

they sent me this

so I replied with

They did NOT want to refund me, they knew the CD wasn’t under blister 💀

But my CD arrived damaged (I also posted the same pictures I sent them on this thread some months ago)

So
 

Almost 300 pages of speculation, where is Lana 

Just a thought about Nectar, LL, CB transition:
 
In Nectar of the Gods, we see she is lost and trying to find her way. The only instrument is guitar. In Living Legend, her legend helps her to find her way. There is guitar and piano. The guitar is still the wild lost Lana, piano sounds more stable and it is her living legend training her. In Cherry Blossom, she becomes the voice that gives advice and becomes someone else’s living legend. Now the only instrument is piano and that’s her.

Canadian store just fucking "refunded me" for the signed art card +CD but instead they just charged me twice ($125.05) fml. I don't think we will be getting the signed art cards, ever. 

i just wanna know what happend to the signed cards 😭

I agree about what seems to be a little media teasing from Lana lately---is there a point, a purpose? If so, it can't just be for BR, which I am also fairly excited about.
 
She's sitting on so many projects, it just doesn't make sense to not begin releasing them sooner or later this year, and she's in a good place in right now with the media, the public, and her fan base. The maturity shown on COCC and BB seem to have solidified her public position and finally impressed her critics that she's an adult and an artist, and not some kind of arrogant, anti-feminist hellion. Sadly, I also think that her more natural, relaxed physical appearance has pacified the envy of her critics (as if it were any of their business), though I'm sure these recent changes were certainly not motivated by that on her part.   

We still have to hear Buddys Rendez-vous and in my mind, it’s what I’m looking forward to. 
But a snippet will give us info on the direction of the new project and the degree of hype I’ll have towards it lol (I’m still very neutral on the country collabs). Lustforlife suggested she had recorded at least 15 songs of many genres and that she was sitting with her team to discuss the direction of the new album. Once this is settled, the album could shape up pretty fast if there are unreleased songs that could fit the vibe. 
im not starving for a new album yet, but  her latest posts on HM makes me think she could start the teasing game soon (if it’s not already begun). I loved what she did with BB: the title revealed  not long after COCC, a snippet a month before the single and album in October.

I’m so excited to see what Lana does with this album visually, even if it’s just some cute little homemade videos (which I know nobody likes but I like them and idc). I don’t expect her to rush into this next era or anything especially since we got two albums in one year last year, but I’m looking forward to watching the era unfold whenever it does. Lana’s vibe lately has been so fun and I think that’ll be reflected in the music. Her energy always matches her work 

i've been real apprehensive on where her music'll go next, not because of shortage of talent, but how careful she is w her art (another good thing). btd's the eager rookie, paradise was validated. uv comes from betrayal. honeymoon was a grand fuck you. lust for life was a forgotten treaty, nfr a safe place. chemtrails, a renewing nature hike and blue banisters, the facing of her inner work and trying to have that neatly boxed away. 

as someone who personally has a hard time showing happiness so much, i get how Lana might be the same way w her music. and it translates w her themes. i think it might be too much to ask for something so brightly jovial, in fact, she does this in doses, but i do hope that she shares some parts of her coming back to the self.

there's a lot of material that she could easily compose a record with, but i appreciate that she's taking a lot of time to sort of work on other projects. just listening to the bb title track's heart wrenching enough. so imagine the depths she's had to make herself get accustomed to, to come back out again. it's important to not stay in one narrative for so long that it ends up being your entire identity, and i hope that her last cycle's been mostly shed for her to bring a certain freshness for her, that she might also be able to share w us thru her music.
