Happy birthday, OB! Definitely in my top 5 LDR albums, and so glad it exists. I listen to AW so often. That track, and the title track are Lana's best album cuts since NFR.

So, LFL came out in July 2017. NFR came out in August 2019. That means 2 years and 1 month is enough for Lana to do her absolute best work. OB came out in March 2023. We're officially past the two-year mark. So, we could be getting a legit masterpiece. (Yes, I'm back on Train Delulu again. Choo-choo!).

100%. We've had three monochrome/brown covers back to back. Time to bring back color like NFR/BTD covers. With sex appeal, if possible. Sometimes I wonder if the reason why BTD and UV did so freaking well commercially was all the hot-af visuals.

Lord... Never been a part of a seven-month snooze fest before (September-March). Group hypnosis fail is what this thread is 😂 All the manifesting for nothing. Honestly, we should all just leave it until something real happens.... Because we've been mass self-hypnotising ourselves based on Lana's fake-announcements and a one-year old 20-sec song snippet, As far as we know, there is NO ALBUM, until confirmed there is. #truestory #breakthespell

A quarter or the year is behind us. Stage Coach is around the corner. Album release date is 2 months from now. Was meant to come out in September. Last single we go was early July. The single announced sounds like the sequel to Looking for America. Never a longer wait for something so... simple and minimalist. What is going on with this era? Lana's 'fuck you' to the world for losing that Grammy again? 🤔

Or she could use that energy to address her second single / album delay? Her clapping back at fans is pretty petty and is getting tired. Beyonce would never. Like if you know it's just rubbish some online trolls/basic bitches are saying about you, why even read it, for a start?

How can you tell when Lana Del Rey is lying? Her lips are moving. Girle's been trolling us for about a year now.

🙄

Hahaha. 🫶🏻 It's my workout track. I probably listened to it as much as AW. So glad we have a proper bop. Love it!

Tough outstreams Carmen on Spotify. Prisoner next. Still doing 222K per day. For comparison, The Abyss, which dropped only a few months ago, is already down to 560K on Spotify.

So, super bored here... And just thinking, if we were ranking Lana's eras in terms of excitement, number of singles, visuals and hype... Not counting AKA singe that wasn't really an era per se because Lana wasn't famous yet, for me, it'd be something like: BTD (Lana's a Star is Born moment with a huge number of singles and high-budget videos, and alt. versions. Boy am I glad to have been there for every second of it! Especially the Born to Die video drop. Epic!) NFR (as protracted as it was, I freakin' loved this era! Remember the trailer? Fire. The Whole surf rock aesthetic of this record, the neon green, the windsurf jacket, the nails, the splash of humor in the videos, Doin' Time playing on the radio everywhere, a whole bunch of singles, a whole bunch of videos, just fire). UV (very solid roll-out, fire singles, especially WC, out of this world visuals, especially Shades of Cool. That was cinema!) Paradise (nothing beats the Ride video, and Burning Desire was solid. The fact that this came out unexpectedly and so soon after BTD. Boy, were we fed!) Honeymoon/Lust for Life (tie) (not the biggest fan of the visuals in either album, but at least we had multiple videos and a solid roll-out) OB (adored our only MV this era, one of her best, and the first two singles slayed... But the choice of 3rd and 4th singles were just weird (The Grants, CN). Another big budget MV for AW or Let the Right in Would have made this era as good as Paradise/UV). COTCC (aside from a decent though lesser-budget-due-to-covid Chemtrails MV, not much to write home about, underwhelming lead single, underwhelming White Dress MV. Still we were fed) Blue Banisters (if BB was the third or fourth single with that MV, fine, sure, great. But the first single? For such an unmemorable song? Nah Was never a fan of Arcadia either, nor its cheap MV. Textbook as a promo single? Puh-lease. Major flop era for me). The Right Person Will Stay ("Ah, geez, what can I say? What can I say now?") Anyone care to share their rating? Be my guest!

Well, it's official. It's Jeremy's bday and still no single lmao. I swear, this "era" is like the musical equivalent of Waiting for Godot

She's the best. <3 Hers and Taylor's fangirling over Lana 24/7 is just so right. People with good ears gotta admire Lana

I still think she will drop the single on Jeremy's bday (tomorrow, 21st). It's the first single she's dropping since they got married. #TeamDeluluRise

Okay, sth. just dawned on me. Hear me out. We keep speculating on the album's genre, wishing for Fenway, going back and forth on somber vs. beats vs. electric guitars, etc. But, back in the real world, we already know what the production will be like: *super stripped-back.* Because Lana herself said "even if it's super stripped-back, I want it to be just right." (Paraphrasing). This also tracks with that "Sirens on a budget" early intel, and with what Henry snippet sounds like. So, there's really no mystery. This will be an album of "When all those who wonders are lost" or "Looking for America" vibes.
