"“even if it’s super stripped back I want it to be like what it was supposed to be” translation: Even with songs that have simple, minimalist production (like my song Henry, Come on) without a big orchestra or beats, I want it to be just right. Even if it's just me and an acoustic guitar, I want to get to the place where I'm super happy with it and ready to put it out there. I hear wandering, perfectionism, not conforming. Whatever it is, we can give Lasso a good, long-ass rest. Yeehaw? More like yeenaw

Thank you. Now I see why everyone moved. As for what she said... Okay, if our girl says it's not ready, then it's not ready. She clearly doesn't want to wing it like some girlies do (looking at you, Dula Peep). On the other hand, say bye to Lasso for another 6 months to a year - that is guaranteed. #LassoJune2026

When did she say that it's not classic country? Like, what is going on? Are you guys secretly watching some cinema quality video of Lana speaking about Lasso? Like, where are we pulling this info from? HELP

Hmmm. The track sounds like something she would've put out 10 years ago. It's a by-the-books GG banger, and doesn't really bring anything new to the table sonically or thematically. Tbh, her dark EDM-ish sound is getting a bit old imo. Not for rme, but, hey, I'm happy it's hit the mark for most people. It'll do great on the charts.

I mean, is this post even reliable? Where did she say this; is there a recording of her saying it? A pic of a magazine interview quoting it? Why is everyone moving? Is this the Spanish BBC or sth? Why are we taking it at face value? Yes, I know I'm annoying, but you'd think we got a YouTube video of Lana saying it and not some random X account in Spanish

God is a woman

Very old Hollywood. If 2024 ain't Lasso year, it sure as hell Lana serving looks year.

What a joke. Like, seriously, laughable. But it just proves my point about there being an endless pool of money to fuel this propaganda. Don't buy into it.

The thing is, Palestinians (and the Lebanese) are broke af. They don't have money to publicize their plight, let alone produce fancy documentaries, exhibitions or Gal Gadot hosted private screenings. But let's say they did. Imagine a documentary about the 40,000 people massacred in Palestine over one year, and tens of thousands more displaced. And that's just this year. Nakhba? Yeah, I'd love to see a Spiberg-produced documentary of that. I assure you it would be far more distressing than any Nova documentary. 400 Israelis died during the Nova massacre, and we'll never hear the end of it. This month, 2,500 (and counting) Lebanese men, women and children died at the hands of Israel. That's 5 times as much. Frankly, how people are not noticing the asymmetrical grief going on here is beyond me. Are we supposed to mourn the 400 Israelis because they were white? Because they were Jewish? Or because they had more money? It's ludicrous. Will choose a Palestine doc any day - thank you very much.

His/theirs first two albums were insanely good, especially the first one. (Not sure about the pronouns). La vita nouva was pretty dope too. Redcar and everything 2022 onwards is... not for me.

omg yes, been manifesting this since, well, ride. He'd be the absolute perfect producer for Lasso. 😍 One big leading single, please! That said, who knows, maybe Antonoff produces another Venice Bitch-level masterpiece in the style of country.

I see your perspective. But in reality - it's very much happening right now. It's been a year and there could be many more. Perhaps not all at once but bit by bit. Backed by US, Uk, etc, they could very well exterminate the natives, occupy the land, and see their luxury condo and other architectural projects, which are already in development, take flight. Decades from now, people could be looking at these events in the same blaze way they look at Native Americans' graves. "Oh, well, that's fucked up, poor them." Build memorials and shed a few tears or donate to organizations. Sadly, history is full of dead peoples and languages. The main difference now is: we have terabytes and terabytes of digital documentation of it, captured in real time, which we didn't have during, for example, the US invasion o Iraq, or the apartheid in South Africa. Will it change anything? Remains to be seen. It's almost like a litmus test for the power of live streaming.

Late to the convo and pardon me if I don't know the full story. But I would be very cautious about watching any content sympathetic to Israel. They spend millions to push their agenda and make people see things from their perspective and sympathise with them. They produce films, exhibitions and even immersive experiences to draw folks into their narrative and see things from their victims' POV. Some of the families of hostages in Palestine have started to refuse partaking in the pageantry. Because for them, it's about genuine grief and not trotting themselves out as a tool of justification of the "war on Gaza," aka genocide. The propaganda machine is incessant and perpetually skewed towards "this is another Holocaust, we've been through this before, now we're going through it again". Grief has become their main tool for justifying a genocide. i'm not saying Israelis haven't been through a lot. But even the birds on trees know by now that October 7 is a drop in the ocean compared to what they've been doing to Palestinians, and now Lebanese. They've even added October 7 to their Holocaust museums as a way or sustaining the victim narrative, which is the only real PR strategy / tool they have at this point, given that they've turned the entire planet against them in one year. More on that here:

Extremely sad news. The photo of Lana hugging her making rounds on Twitter literally broke my heart. What a legend to go there and visit her - heart of gold. The girl was gorgeous, and life is really fucked up for young girls like this to get terminal diseases while so many awful people and criminals walk around in great shape. Did this board help make their meeting happen? I hope so.

Very specific indeed. The insider who said she's waiting until after election to drop was probably on point. Lana is very political, and she despises Trump. So maybe she's waiting for Kamala to win before she gets going. All that being said, we really really shouldn't trust anything she says in terms of rollout.

This. The only songs I ever give a spin to are Black Bathing Suit, If You Lie Down with Me (which legit has a great melody), and Wildflower when I'm being a sad boy. I'll play Thunder, like, once a year. But I can't get over the fact that she put a 10 year old song on a record. Do not understand the love for Dealer either. That song has outtake written all over it. The only thing that's good about it is the title lol. I still believe Interscope made her put out another album since they were in a crisis during covid. Or she needed the cash. But happy it has its fans. Happy birthday

The Gaga single better be fire. Her movie flopped. Her jazz album flopped. She better bring it.

Oh, come on. Madonna hasn't tried to step out of her comfort zone since american life (2003). Madame x, just like her past 5 or so albums, were manufactured trash for the masses. Sure, she had a few songs that were "out there" for her standards (Dark Ballet, God Control, etc),, but the rest of the tracklist was as safe as it gets. The issue was that it was uninspired, unpolished, even stupid (even more so than MDNA, Hard Candy, etc, which at least had some level of polished bubble gum pop to them). At least when Kylie does "Kylie-by-the-books," she does it right, and we still get fine tunes like Padam, Padam, Tension, or Magic. Kylie > Madonna.

I've been a hard-core fan since the home-made Blue Jeans video. Tough aside, this is by far the most boring time to be a Lana stan. By far. Maybe it's not the longest period without music or news, but it feels like the longest.

Okay, as promised, I gave it another spin. Linking Good As Gone a lot. Need more listens to form an opinion. But overall Kylie is certainly doing a lot better than Madonna, whose last album was a very mixed bag (mostly garbage). I wish Madonna had kept the vibe of Medellin throughout. Breezy summer latin infused vibe ala La Isla Bonita. Instead, the record that followed was just bizarre, talking about gun control, and whatever random stuff that popped into her head in the studio. Talk about incohesive.

Ikr. Thank you. Not sure if I could use actual actors' names for legal reasons either. Think I'd have to ask each and every one's agent individually, or use similar names. Like Dom Cruise or Annie Adams. Which makes it sound like a comedy and not exactly what I'd be going for. Dicaprio's preference for young girls is just brat behavior indeed. I'm glad you like him as an actor tho. He's truly one of the greats.

this could literally be for anyone / anything

She crazy. Everything she's said is rubbish. Particularly tired of that nepotism bullishit. Lana's dad was a copywriter at Grey Group. Maybe she should focus on releasing a new album since the last one (Broke with Expensive Taste, was it?) came out a decade ago. Idiot. As for Lasso, clearly there are delays and let's not move for nothing. But I'm going to think that this big gap is a good thing, because it means Lana is not winging it. It took ages for NFR to come together, maybe it's the same story with Lasso.

I mean, still looks more listenable than BB, tbh.

I gave it a quick spin and found it trashy. Especially that Lights, Camera, Action track Padam Padam was pure class by comparison. I'll definitely give it another go since you guys are praising it. But then I wasn't a massive fan of Tension 1 either, so perhaps I'm just not the right audience for Kylie's EDM/euro trash era.
