Lana Del Rey and Quavo “Tough” - OUT NOW!
barttttender replied to rocknrollgroupie's topic in Latest News
I can't believe I was manifesting an Old Town Road vibe with this album and now it's literally happening - ish. -
Omg, yes! Dance till we die. Glorious. I feel like this album will be her least remembered in 20 years time. But that's so unfair.

Gods & Monsters did really well though for a song off the second half of an EP. To have the great Jessica Lange sing your song in a hit series by Ryan Murphy - that's major success. I know it has a large following too. I agree with you on The greatest. It has had success, but it deserves a lot more. Hoping that "the greatest" on Billie's upcoming album is a cover of that song.

Lana probably dies in the video (again). -
For me, it's Wild at Heart no doubt This track is Lana at her finest. It has all the brilliance of anything on NFR - yet it got zero attention. Not a single, no hype, super low streaming numbers, never performed live. I'll never understand why. The jack and coke extended lyric is particularly masterful. American also comes to mind. A glorious, lush song that's quintessentially LDR, yet nobody ever talks about, it never gets played, and I don't think she's ever performed it live. What's your pick(s)?

I reckon it's Lana's. She's gonna make the first single super vibey and commercial to draw people to the project. If she went out with Henry or Prettiest Girl, let's face it, no one would care. -

I can't see them dropping the song before the video, unfortunately. And even if the video is storyboarded and they know exactly what shots they need, it'll still take weeks to edit, do color correction, etc. When we heard about Chemtrails MV shooting, we had to wait a full month for it to drop. And that video was still nowhere near as good as the Born to Die video, Ride, Shades of Cool, Candy Necklace, National Anthem or Young & Beautiful, which for me are her finest. It seems to me that we'll get this video + song somewhere around June 13th. Which, honestly, tracks well with Lasso's supposed September release. First single June, second single August, third single September. So, it could literally be that Lana is feeding us exactly when she's supposed to - three months before the album release date. Maybe we shouldn't be annoyed, but, like, happy she's on schedule, for once. lmao -
Theory: Lana's decided that LDR 10, being her 10th record, should absolutely eat and leave no crumbs. So, she's enlisted Billie, Quavo and possibly Taylor and the Weeknd for collabs, guaranteeing through-the-roof streaming numbers for years to come. Evidence to support the theory: - Quavo collab confirmed, MV on the way, Quavo's last album only released last year, so this more likely to be a Lasso collab. Same style of visuals as Henry (tho I know she's used this filter before) - Lana being super chummy with Billie for ages, the interview they did for OB, the Coachella collab, and now literally "We had fun in the studio. Love you" from Lana - after Billie's album's already been pressed. - Lana texting The Weeknd a lot, and the two of them still being on good terms. The word "Moon" used by both at one point in time, leading fans to speculate that a collab is on the way. - Taylor - super chummy as well, they share the same producer, doing events together and hanging out; Lana already collabed with her on Midnights. Perhaps it's time to refer the favor? Especially since Taylor made her success in the country (Lasso's) genre. Anyone else buy into this theory? If so, which of these four would you like the most?

This article says a possible Lana x Billie collab might be happening. https://uproxx.com/pop/lana-del-rey-billie-eilish-collaboration-teaser-instagram/ Apparently, Lana said to Billie via IG "We had fun in the studio" on May 9th. So, since Billie's album wrapped a while ago and had to be pressed, is it safe to assume that this is for Lasso? Or could Lana have been referring to "having fun in the studio" months ago? Personally, I don't think she'd be writing that comment that late after the supposed collab. Also, LDR isn't present in Billie's tracklist. So, Billie x Lana on Lasso? Sorry if this was discussed/posted ages ago - I just discovered it now.

We just need to find out from a reliable source if Tough is for Lasso or Quavo's jam. If it's for Lasso, and she's teased it and she's making an MV for it, then it's safe to say the roll out for Lasso is starting in June/July and we're on course for September. If the cut is Quavo's, then who knows - we might get Lasson in September... of 2025. We need to find this out, and soon.

i highly doubt that. Grandfather is very NFR coded. Add it to NFR instead of TNBAR and you'd never think it didn't belong there. If anything, NFR woulda been better for it. Grandfather >>>> TNBAR.

You know that's never gonna happen tho. Lana doesnt really do cohesive one genre throughout. even if this song is quavo's, you betcha that you'll be getting some piano, and some trap weirdness and god-knows-what-else on lasso -
who's ethel cain? What does this mean?
-
i mean, OB wasn't very cohesive but still works as an album. i'm not bothered about that. Honestly, I just need that quavo bop to be good and join my list of lana bops, and i'm good. i'll take prettiest girl in country music too, and the album for me is already great. please god let that quavo cut eat and be on lasso 🤞🏻🤞🏻
-
Sorry you're not on board with this possible direction of "Lasso". Keep in mind that none of this is confirmed yet. Could just be a Quavo track. However, if it is the direction this is going in, don't be that surprised. Remember that Lana said "I wish my last album (OB) had gone as viral" after that waffle moment. She could just be annoyed with her last three albums perhaps not performing well, and wants to recapture some of her previous commercial success. And that doesn't mean that Lasso won't be packed with great (pure) country songs. Maybe 10 country songs with 5 spicy upbeat rap/trap. Would that be so tragic?

I always liked LFL. It has a large number of solid cuts - perhaps more good songs than any album preceding it, given its length and ambition. A record that featured Lust for Life, Love, Summer Bummer, Groupie Love, God Bless America, When the World Was at War, White Mustang, Cherry, and Tomorrow Never Came - all on one record? I mean, wow. It was her most commercial effort since BTD, in addition to being a bit edgy and experimental. The issues I had with it is that it still featured terrible songs like Coachella (awful) and Change (boring af). But it still packed more good songs than BTD, UV and maybe even Honeymoon. NFR was the first album for me that was a near 10/10 (woulda been a 10 without TNBAR).

i mean, we got chemtrails and bb in one year, so not impossible But the guitars on Tough makes me think it's all one album with a genre crossover. with the way she looks right now and those beats, this will be her biggest hit since doin' time -

typically she takes at least a month to wrap up a video. Do we know who the director is? -

Ideal scenario: we have Henry, Tough, Prettiest girl and 10+ more songs all ready. The album is a cross between country, trap and electronica but blends seamlessly, with Quavo, The Weeknd and Billie on the trap/electronica side, and Nikki, Taylor and Orville Peck on the country side. Production by Antonoff, Cirkut, Luke, Rick and others, all bringing their A game. Some of the songs are teased until September in the same style as Henry and Tough, with the lead single coming in June, second one in July and third in August. All of the singles eat and at least two chart (Quavo, Taylor?) The album is released in September and becomes her biggest commercial success since Born to Die. It features a glorious rap country bitch cunty cover with insane fashion by McQueen that eclipses even Beyonce's cover, shot by Neil. The album gets a 9.5 review on Pitchfork and Fantano fangirls over Lana again saying "Lana has finally done rap/trap right." Ajay cries her heart out and screams "Mother!" 7,000 times while shaking her booty to Quavo. Do I even wanna think about any other scenarios? Nope. -

what else has cirkut produced? edit: just checked, loads of songs on abel's starboy. you know, if he's part of lasso and he brings on abel for a song or two, in addition to migos, we would have a multi platinum born to die sequel. remember when lana said the last famous person she texted was the weeknd? Maybe they were cooking up sth together. Manifesting country trap crossover with quavo and the weeknd -

This all makes total sense 👆🏻 also, if quavo was behind this, he'd probably have mentioned a release date. But since it's lana, we get a snippet and then no word on it for months - like with henry. Even the aesthetics is the same. ladies, gents and non-binaries, i fear we might be stepping into another nfr era. Snippets, snippets everywhere, but no official releases or dates. -
