the way I know map of la is gonna be a classic it's really giving classic ballad

ik but im deprived and bored

I'll be delulu and take the info I'm hyped

Blue Jeans vs California

the survivor threads being bumped please we need news

I think we'll get news first week of august

we still have twitter

I really think this album is gonna have jazz and theatre influences in it's sound judging from the unknown single, Wildflower Wildfire, Text Book, and Thunder. Like the story telling on the tracks make it seem so good to be used for a musical like "Blue Banisters" really feels like Lana on a stage with the spotlight on her when she's telling her story about the man. Not only does it feel theatrical but it feels like Lana singing in a lounge bar again - think the unknown single and Wildflower Wildfire is really feels like it's meant for those settings. Paired with the music references on the songs so far, this is shaping up to be a lyrically strong record. The reason I feel Cherry Blossom is the closer or among some of the last tracks in the tracklist is because it's diverse in it's sound and it's a very intimate lullaby ballad compared to the others and it'd be perfect for a closing statement for the record. That's saying if those songs are on the album I'm the hugest NFR! fan and idk I can't think of a song from the tracklist that grew from that record - Chemtrails was an expansion of NFR!'s folk leanings and that record stands on its own - but to answer your question if there were songs that Blue Banisters will grow from they're most definitely White Dress and Dance Till We Die. White Dress' storytelling and production is so amazing but Lana already explored it's themes on Chemtrails - Dance Till We Die is also a storytelling highlight but I think everyone here would agree to see her expand on the sound used on the bridge of that song. So fucking good. Honestly speaking I think the songs on this record grew from hope is a dangerous thing's storytelling you can say they were cut from the cloth.

welcome aboard this semi sinking ship!

I just hope the Titanic Rising producer really impacted the album's sound because that album's production is so fucking good

at least it's a stripped back production with major jazz elements and let's wait till the album till we can complain or whatever - but I really want her to explore MIKE DEAN's production on LDR9 I know they can cook up some nasty ass shit but for now let's enjoy whatever we're getting

Thunder is somewhat like a reprise to Wildflower Wildfire

such a beautiful song - her articulating the whole situation is so beautifully done

I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT BUT I READ IT IN YOUR LETTER YOU SAID TO A FRIEND THAT YOU WISH YOU WERE DOING BETTER I WANTED TO REACH OUT BUT I NEVER SAID A THING *piano notes* I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT BUT I READ IT IN YOUR LETTER YOU SAID TO A FRIEND THAT YOU WISH YOU WERE DOING BETTER I WANTED TO CALL YOU BUT I DIDN'T SAY A THING

Ride vs California

right? At least Lana is bringing those tracks from that album back from the dead like look at Godifornia

at least we know its not this album - and I really wanna hear Loved You Then I love the title tbh

don't kill me but "How to disappear" and "xanny" by Billie Eilish

im pretty sure we'll get the single next week or sometime the week after next week since billie babadoo eilish and jack are releasing albooms (the latter with Lana featuring in some songs )

I love how we're all greedy for this album when we recently got one - there's so many cool releases to check out tho as we starve for news

love this idea - I hope Lana does something for the anniversary too

yeah I'm pretty sure it was made after their break up

I don't think it's about authenticity - it's more about her feelings about this person have changed and this is something that happens all the time like I know for a fact I wouldn't leave in a song meant for someone I just broke up with on my upcoming album The anecdotes aren't her pushing an authenticity narrative it's more of a storytelling device (and it paints a picture in our head) and even if she is sticking to her telling her story or what not it seems like she's doing a good job so let's wait for the album

Once we get the album we'd be able to tell if the album scrapping was because of the break up or not - we know that the three singles we got mention Clay in some capacity (and that this album was about recent events according to her) so yeah and the fact that she added Thunder to this album... Since she claims she's telling her story on this album it's gonna be interesting how she's gonna flip the whole thing about Clay but whatever we'll see

unpopular opinion: Lana posting snippets is highkey a good thing. it really got me hyped the fuck up for NFR! and the songs were still mysterious regardless I remember when people thought that "Love song" and "Cinnamon Girl" snippets were the same song ahh good times I also get that everyone here wants more tracks for this album but please don't be disappointed when it's not. It's more about the album being a body of work not a dump of like 22 songs that aren't cohesive at the slightest. I know this album will be great I feel it in my bussy
