Upbeat lead single (similar to FMWUTTT or HBTB). MV directed by Colin Tilley. Album trailer also directed by him. Album cover by Nadia Lee. Lead single produced by Jack Antonoff with additional synths by Mike Dean and strings by Dan Heath.

You may say I’m a dreamer…

it'll be reality 

the family concept is cool but I'm feeling a solo cover this time around it makes the most sense 

with burning banisters or a burning american flag something servey has to happen on the cover 

Sad Girl vs Your Girl

the way she said in all her interviews Love Song was the first song her and Jack ever did, but it was done 2 months after her ‘first batch’ in June 

I think she meant as the first song they wrote together - the second song they worked on writing was hope and it was the first song they recorded as well

Maybe the baby will inspire ha to release something to mark the birth

I always thought it'd be cool if she released Cherry Blossom since it's a lullaby 

Anyways, I relistened to the singles again and my god they're still beautiful

we need more recognition on female producers, these hags need to quit fighting over this smelly man and start fighting over grimes... jack could never produce a my name is dark, 4am, saturn princess, violence, kill v maim, flesh without blood, oblivion, genesis, weregild... never! never! NEVER!

 

and that  is  on  that 

I pray for a Lana x Grimes collab everyday 

nfr! will forever be that bitch all the girlies want a crack of ha

Nothing against Jack, I just think Lana, Lorde, Taylor Swift, St Vincent, FKA Twigs, Clairo (and soon Phoebe Bridgers, probably) all working with him at the same time is overkill. 

Clairo's album is done and Twigs is working with another producer bless her heart 

The UO exclusive cover is the picsart edit she posted the announcement with 

THEE actual cover is a horror americana serve with the blue banisters burning in the background SHOT by Nadia Lee 

Lana going all horror on us would be exciting - I wouldn't do with another B&W cover but if Nadia Lee is involved that's a different story 

I really do hope her and Mike Dean are experimenting for the next record - just imagine a song with autotune like Godly Jesus Freak

Do we know if she was part of the Gucci campaign or if she had worked on brand campaigns before?

Nadia? idk tbh but check out her insta! @nadialeelee

I hope Lana delivers something for everyone this era 

The thing is I get UV vibes from Wildflower Wildfire so maybe she is dipping into tinges of that era? Probs just the jazz influence

and also i  think pretty much every artist wins with a big space of time between album releases. lorde is living on twitter's trending topics with just an announcement, lana could benefit with a two/three-year break IMO

The thing with Lana is that she's the kind of artist that actually utilizes her art as an outlet - even though it'd be great if she took a break to refine the art or what not, the last time she took a break we kinda ended up with semi cohesive Lust For Life. Even when AKA was completed in 2008 she was STILL working on music even when that damn record was shelved until it's official release two years later - it's something to admire tbh and the best thing about it is that she constantly gives us quality work! But yeah the scary part is even after this album is released there's a Mike Dean produced album coming after it anyways

any music video ideas for any of the three singles? 

some might disagree but I really want a visual of her physically painting the banisters with Nikki and Jen or her "sisters" 

I always visualize that support system because of the lyrics and can I just praise the lyricism in that song again

does anyone genuinly think we're getting the album on july 4th? 

for some reason I do - maybe it's me being optimistic but it'd be such an iconic release date tbh

are we expecting happy tracks in bb ?

definitely! I'm excited to see how she takes them on though

Thunder also references the song Maria from The Sound of Music, which would be extra fitting since TB and BB also include musical theatre references.  For that reason (and Zach’s involvement), I have actually wondered if Thunder could make it onto this album (and I’m usually not delusional about wanting unreleased songs on an album) 

Yeah it just suits the songs we've heard so far and I honestly see it being the track after "Wildflower Wildfire" on the tracklist 

Dumb theory but hear me out... so far all three singles reference some type of song:

Blue Banisters: "Diamonds and Rust"

Text Book: "Old Man River"

Wildflower Wildfire: "Comfortably Numb" & "Lithium" (the lithium one could be a stretch but whatever)

Now yeah I know Lala likes to make references to songs but...

it's just very prominent in those three tracks and it could be a recurring theme throughout the album

With that being said - according to BOZ a leaked song could show up on this album and the only one that could blend in with the album's sound and contents so far that I could think of would be "Thunder". Thunder references "Mr. Brightside" and yes I'm a delulu at heart - and even tho we love you "Cherry Blossom" I really think a reworked version of "Thunder" would work really well with the album since it features the same lounge singer vibe as "Text Book" and "Wildflower Wildfire" - and because of Daddy Dawes 

God Knows I Tried vs California

anyways... back to the Americana serve that is the Blue Banisters cover shot by Nadia Lee
