Well, that's a bit of a gloomy outlook. She stopped trying to make pop records after Lust for Life, and she's never been more crtiically succesful. I don't think she needs to do anything exceptional to wow anyone. Look at OB - over an hour of melancholy and sad songs, including not one but two interludes. She was hardly breaking new ground. As long as the songwriting is good, she'll be in conversation. My only concern is - how many of these sad albums can people take? Without tracks like Doin' Time or Summertime Sadness to balance it out.

So true. Again, just feels like a 2-hour studio session with not a lot of love put into it. The fact that she's thanking @zachary_dawes is even more worrying in terms of this Standards album. For me, he's the least exciting of her producers and has put out some of her worst cuts (Summertime Gershwin version), and I don't understand why she keeps going back to him and Drew Erickson. With Max Martin, Kevin Parker, Rick Nowels, Mark Ronson, Emil Hayne, Jack Antonoff, and so many other great producers out there, she keeps going for these mid-tier producers. My expectations for the Standards album went to pots.
