Again, that Interview Mag shoot was tiny. For someone who's been in the industry for 10 years, why would she call it "the biggest she's ever done"? What am I missing?

Ahh, another Bartttender fan... Hot and Smart lool. Check your dms

I hear ya. But I still think that after all the videos she's done, films, shoots and magazine cover shoots in America and internationally- she wouldn't refer to that Interview Magazine shoot as something out of the ordinary.

ShootingNeon will save us all

I agree! Her last bop in traditional terms were Doin' Time and Don't Call Me Angel - three years ago. Maybe it'll be Peppers or Candy Necklace (if it's a bop).

Exactly. p.s. you're so hot lol

it was a few people, her brother, a car and a cigarette. Is that a bigger shoot for her than Tropico? Or Ride? Or Don't Call Me Angel? I don't think so.

I guarantee you guys that she'll drop an MV but only on the day of the release. Mark my words. It's what that OB Instagram is for. It's what she mentioned in the interview with Billie ("just done the biggest shoot I was ever involved in"). And it's to generate buzz for the sake of album sales. The only question now is - what song will it be for?

Is it as bad as that crappy "Flowers" song?

(personal taste only :P)

My ranking so far, based on what I've heard (and in case anyone's interested):

Lol. Wouldn't it be funny if she drops

I understand why you and some feel like she needs this validation. I'm sure herself would love it too. But for me, she's already called "The Greatest American songwriter" by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stone and even Taylor Swift among other peers, which is a lot more impressive than a fucking Grammy. She's proven herself with nearly 10 albums and over 100 songs, 15 of which have over 100,000 million views on YouTube and many have charted on the Billboard 100. What's more, she's among the top 10 most listened to women on Spotify from all the artists in the world. In my view, a Grammy would be like getting a passport after she's already "seen the world".

Um, they gave Billie Eillish 200 award sand zero to Norman. The awards proved that year that it's one big popularity contest. Why would you care? Also, the album seems more low-key than Born to Die or Lust for Life, and I don't imagine it will spawn any Billboard 100 singles. There's no Doin' Time or Love type of songs on it that we know of. It's just not a Grammy-friendly product at all. Unless the put it in Alternative (which they should anyway), in which case she has a good shot at winning.

Oh shit, CN is produced by Zach Davis. Then it's bound to suck. #CrushedDreams. At least I know I should focus my energy on Taco. So, did anything new leak? I was asleep for 8 hours.

THANKS SO MUCH! For me, Rosemead's list prolly makes the most sense since he ranked Granfather and Taco super high along with Boulevard and AW, while he has Sweet and Fingertips low - just like me. But one thing is for sure - Candy Necklace isn't anything spectacular by the looks of it.

can someone post those rankings pls?

She just made the cover of The Rolling Stone magazine too. On a train so I cant link but there are pics on another thread. Def more promotion than Blue Banisters and Chemtrails! I think Interscope really want and another no. 1 and weren't happy with BB's 6th or whatever position.

I don't get these opposing insights. On the one hand, Candy Necklace is THE SONG, on the other, it was almost scrapped. Personally, I don't think John Baptiste would have collaborated with LDR in the studio (on two tracks, no less) just for it to be ""almost scrapped." I don't know what the alleged drama was all about with this track, but I doubt that it ever came to that. My two cents.

Where did we get the info that CN was added last minute? Or was it mere speculation? Because the impression I got from the interviews was that Margaret was the last track written and added.
