Bonita

This is the second time she’s mentioned the new music being in the vein of American Songbook songs which I still don’t really comprehend but pop off still holding out hope Tough🦋 will come in June even if the album is delayed

you could be funny too if u tell us something 

So, let me get this straight...
 
Lasso, a country album, has been on the works for 5 years, Jack has said it was brilliant, and we even had two teasers! The latest being recorded as early as February.
It was also supposed to be out in 4 months... Now it turns out it's not even finished, (yet it should be by now, considering how long the whole vinyl process takes...) but not only that, Lana also said she has no idea what direction is this album going...
 
At least, she said the songs are more melodic... I take it they're not as wordy, and we're getting more of her classic sounding songs, with normal song structures! Which is good, after NFR/COTCC/BB/DYKTTATUOB

she is so funny ....

There’s a difference between tepid reaction and “the crowd went dead silent” because even if it wasn’t the reaction she wanted people definitely applauded 
 
I hope when you interview her she gives you a clearer answer 

at the end of the day, we can reasonably assume these things:
 
-we are likely be getting this track with quavo within a month give or take
-it seems to be teased with a similar aesthetic to Henry, come on, so we can assume they are connected
-its leaked lyrics are obviously meant to be in line with a country theme
-when it comes out, its likely we will get a better sense of what the future has in store!

Ayesha Erotica x Lana Del Dey When 

Personally I think that going to all of these events, having this "relationship" of sorts with Quavo and simultaneously still stepping foot in the country world is what's probably stopping her from going full country. Come on, she loves Camila's I LUV IT haha. She's full country aesthetics these days but she never really closed the door when it comes to trap and electronic influences so I think Lasso not being fully country as (most likely) initially intended is a reflection of the wide range of experiences and people she gets in touch with. I think we're fully ahead of a LFL 2.0 which is honestly very exciting to me.
 
I think it stems from the tepid reaction to her announcing Lasso.

This whole interview was interesting 
 
she made absolutely no sense about Lasso, but I like the idea of her lyrics being inspired by her having fun and being at ease
 
but Lana, imma need you to further explain yourself because no, I don’t know what you mean. I don’t think the album was scrapped because Jack has also talked about it and called it ‘Fucking brilliant’ so idk it would seem odd to completely scrap the whole album (and she just told Elle earlier this month it was coming out this year still). But yeah I have no idea what that whole answer means. I need clarification 
 
I also love how she just makes up things, because people definitely applauded when she said the music industry was going country so idk where that 5000 people being silent narrative came from 

We're getting a little over ourselves here... Lana did hint at this album being more simpler in terms of lyricism back in that Hollywood Reporter interview last year I believe - i guess we could speculate parts of the album were decided by then. I think the album is still being fiddled around with just like with NFR! when it was originally supposed to have 11 tracks, like maybe Tough is an addition to the album and we'll need to wait for further confirmation. Also I don't think Lana cares that much if she's being seen as someone copying them and at the end of the day she's gonna deliver a much different take on the genre. All and all to me this is just confirmation that she's still changing things with the album which isn't always bad news 

She said recently that she still plans on releasing it this year so I doubt that she scrapped it unless it was a last week decision 
 
I think she just meant that it's not going to be as country as people expected after her initial comments on the record.

A creative switch with more hiphop influences halfway through making the album, welcome back LFL!

Tbh I feel like the perfect thing to do would be to either rerelease a.k.a with like 10ish side-bs or an Ultraviolence reissue for the 10th anniversary with again like 10 ish new tracks. Ig she could do a stevie nicks and reissue btd and Ultraviolence at the same time but I don't really think that would happen. Anyways either one of those options would be low effort on her and her trams part but would make the fan base extremely happy and hold them over to the eventual release of her next album in September or not

yes please 

At the bare minimum Flipside and Is this happiness should be released on all streaming platforms worldwide and maybe a 6" vinyl like she did with syth and bb

it should just be expected at this point that whenever Lana announces something it will eventually be changed to something else 

I kinda want a trap album tbh. Or a @Psychedelic Pussy record.

Maybe she meant "What can I say now," as if she's talking to herself, saying "I'm so frustrated that so many artists are announcing country albums that I just don't know what to say to you about Lasso at this moment."  
 
What other artists are doing should make no difference. She's Lana Fucking Del Rey, having some of her best years ever, who cares if others are releasing country albums or if there is an actual trend in play, however it came about?
 
Releasing a country album is not an original idea in and of itself; it's one of the most recognizable and oldest of all American genres.   
 
So with luck, Lasso will be released on schedule.
