LMAO. Exactly. Use her as abuse her for those streaming numbers, and get her back for Snow.

100%! This will be a very tough act to follow. Just hope we don't get another Chemtrails, short and understated (as much as I love the record). Lasso needs to be bigger than that, and the lead single needs to be Ride-level slay.

Not unpopular at all! Ain't nobody want a quiet understated track as the first single. And to anyone who does - just look at how "well" Blue Banisters (the song) did. You're welcome. We need Ride level of oomph, or West Coast. OR, if it's gonna be a ballad, we need Taylor doing backup vocals. Facts.

yep rip henry. We'll hear it in september as track 12/17

honestly, 2 tracks into Cowboy Carter and the record is already more grammy worthy than midnights. Beyonce will sweep aoty imo.

ok just listened to Cowboy Carter in full and... it's an f-ing masterpiece. Over an hour of astounding 21st century world-beating music production. It's all about the music. Mind-blowing music. A huge feat imo Great duet with miley to boot. A duet done right (take a hint, taylor!). The song bodyguard is mega catchy and bound to be a single. The opening tracks slap. The jolene cover slaps. there's aven an interpolation of these boots are made for walking, which works as well as any interpolation on part 1. it sags a bit towards the end and a few tracks or interludes probably coulda been cut, but even the slog is so god-damn good. Yeehaw

So excited. Love beyonce. queen bae. oh baby

the guy can't sing. They need a new singer.

Yeah, we had some in OB, but none that would be radio-friendly and hit Billboard 100, which they didn't. Doin' Time is her last bonafied solo bop. Hopefully, Lasso delivers another. I mean, not one of Jack produced songs ever hit Billbobard 100. 6 albums in, it's about time our boy gave our girl a hit.

Not so sure about that. He produced The greatest, which was big, and she chose it as a single. OB, VB and AW are all pretty big too. I think she definitely wants big songs. Even when she was producing chemtrails and finished it, she said she just wish there was "one more big song" on it, but said Jack had other commitments. I think that was the reason why Chemtrails ended up being smaller (and shorter), and with BB, it was more of a collection of old material and smaller sounds that she never had much ambition with. So, hopefully, Lasso follows NFR and OB in wanting to have at least one big song. I mean, I can deal with her not caring to have a BOP on her records, her last one being Doin' Time fucking 5 years ago. But no bops and no big songs I cannot do. Nuh-uh.

100%! Ob era was spoiled for me big time with the leaks and snippets. that said, i myself went that route 😂 Now, I'll listen to the singles lana drops and nothing else till the release date

i do agree that laura's mixing is too quiet. When chemtrails comes up in my playlist, i feel like i've gone deaf. Especially after btd of uv Also have rick nowels and lana parted ways forever? Got into a fight? i wonder how he feels about lana collaborating with jack on their 6th album together without actively involving him.

Ahahaha. Honestly, with Henry and Lasso done, it feels like fan-only LDR10 sponsored by AI s well on its way lmao. We already know the lyrics to Prettiest Girl in Country Music. Who will do the AI cut of of the fourth song? We're waitin'

Yes, please! A&W-, The greatest-, OB,- Venice Bitch-level of production. We need Jack to really lean into country but make some songs big, rather than small. No 'Not all those who wander are lost" type of instrumentals. Or at least only a little of it. I want him to get creative. Aso, I really want Taylor on this record. If for no other reason than huge streaming numbers.

So what is everyone hoping for when it comes to Lasso? Like if i told you i'm lana's gold fish and i'll grant you one wish. For me, i just need one BIG song. As big as Ride, West Coast or Young & Beautiful. Big production, big instrumentals, big hooks, big lyrics, instantly iconic. Ocean Boulevard (the song) was that bitch on the last record. But Chemtrails and BB didn't have any. Venice Bitch was BIG on Norman. So, that's my only wish. I hope Henry isn't the first single because - as much as I like it - it sounds very quiet and minimal. Even more so than Chemtrails. But yeah, I miss Lana's big songs. Alternatively, I'll take a bop. Country with a beat, maybe Taylor on it too. Like, an instant hit. Please god make this happen!

What ChatGPT imagines the lead single to be like 🤓 I like it! **Title: Lasso** (Verse 1) Velvet skies and your wild eyes, Playing fast and loose under desert highs. Dusty dreams, my heart screams, Chasing mirages, or so it seems. Slick roads, heavy loads, Your love's a cipher in secret codes. Palm trees sway, in our disarray, Lost in the echoes of LA. (Pre-Chorus) Honey, this ain't no rodeo, But I've got a lasso, Wrapping tight around your ego, Watch it come and go. (Chorus) Lasso, spinning round your heart, A work of art, tearing us apart. Can't tame a wild love with a rope so thin, But darling, in this game, do we lose or win? With every twirl, I pull you in, But love's a gamble—do we sin or spin? (Verse 2) Cadillac dreams, and neon beams, Your love's a mystery, or so it seems. Hollywood signs, and vintage wines, Our hearts entwined in thorny vines. Sunset fades, on our masquerades, In the twilight, our love parades. Echoes of our past, shadows we cast, In this love story, are we first or last? (Pre-Chorus) In this city of angels, I found my devil, With a lasso in hand, on the level, Pulling at strings, in a dance with rebels, In this love, we teeter and revel. (Chorus) Lasso, looping 'round your soul, In this role, we pay the toll. Chasing wild hearts, under starlit skies, In your eyes, I find my demise. With a flick and a twist, I draw you near, In this love, we face our deepest fear. (Bridge) Under the moonlight, with a whisper soft, Our worlds aloft, in this loft, we've crossed. With a lasso made of dreams this part is so good: Honey, this ain't no rodeo, But I've got a lasso, Wrapping tight around your ego, Watch it come and go.

...what would they be? Four songs only. Think of this as your choice of Lana's singles via revisionist history. Born to Die 1. Summertime Sadness 2. Video Games 3. Blue Jeans 4. Born to Die Paradise 1. Ride 2. Cola 3. Gods & Monsters 4. American Ultraviolence 1. West Coast 2. Ultraviolence 3. Shades of Cool 4. Brooklyn Baby Honeymoon 1. High by the Beach 2.

Mariner's Apartment Complex 4. The greatest Chemtrails over the Country Club 1. Chemtrails over the Country Club 2. White Dress 3. Wild at Heart 4. Not All Who Wander Are Lost Blue Banisters 1.

A&W 3. Taco Truck x VB 4. Candy Necklace

young and beautiful is not a ballad? Say what? what is it then?

and high by the beach. She has way too many slow songs in her sets imo. Doin time, cherry, coco puff, high by the beach, SS, off to the races, west cost, cola, venice bitch and serial killer should be compulsory imo. please no grants, arcadia, white mustang and other mid-level ballads. if you're gonna do ballads, do it right (Y&B, OB, Chemtrails, etc).

you know what, lana's never done an illustration as cover art. So why not. although this concept with neil crueg = magic

Honestly, it's the internet that did the most damage. Some people were posting 20 memes per day, each one more horrendous than the last one. Really proves how devoid of empathy and respect the internet can be. I mean, here we are watching dead babies for 6 months n Gaza and no one is doing shit. So, not sure why I'm surprised.

Her greatest album of all time no doubt. I remember being on a plane to Tokyo and she had just about dropped Venice Bitch. I was on airplane wifi and came across an interview with her where she said the album will be called NORMAN F-ING ROCKWELL. I remember bursting out laughing at the brilliant title. Then I listened to Venice Bitch, and I just knew that it'll be her best album yet.

lana del rey and hot wings? can we just not.

Just mocked this up with AI, and I'm kind of liking it.
