her hair!! 

The only thing that kills my hopes for this record is the possibility she scraped Zach produced songs to put some snoozefest-with-no-personality-piano-ballads. If she did scrap 90% of the material I hope it was Jack's work and not Zach's ...
My hopes for Blue Banisters goes to 0% sometimes, I'm looking for more Text Book/Thunder moments and less Cherry Blossom/Blue Banisters.

proof of ur credibility ur honor 

Well if the piano songs are anything like the three singles I'm down. Imo stripped instrumentals work to highlight beautiful lyrics and vocals, which they do on all three singles, so I'm excited!

manifesting "piano ballads" in the vein of... dance for money, yayo, and mermaid motel 

Queen Mother LDR will pull through as always. 
 
I think BOZ meant alot of other instruments..now that I re read his message.
 
 
I want the violins back on her set. Why did she even drop them.???? 
 
 

U have become boring repeating the same thing every era bye

Video Games is my fav song of all time, Bel Air is one of my fave Lana tracks, I'm a Hope Is A Dangerous Thing stan and I'm a fan of the stripped back May Jailer stuff, so it's not that I can't handle piano or stripped back production but.... idk, I feel like sometimes these slower more ballad-y tracks get lost and lose their value if they're in an album full of them. Making good music is a talent and a skill, but you know what else is a talent and a skill? Arranging and pacing an album well.
 
I also wanna point out that although some fan faves are technically piano ballads (Old Money, Video Games, Black Beauty, etc etc) those songs usually have additional instruments (harps and strings in VG, drums in BB, etc) and strong melodies. There's a fullness to them. The apprehension regarding lots of piano on this album, for me, comes from the fear that there might not be that same fullness on these new tracks and that the album won't be paced or arranged very well and the amount of slow piano tracks could be overkill so I won't care to go back to it v much.
 
That being said - personally I like Blue Banisters and Text Book but I absolutely ADORE WFWF, and that's because there's a strong vocal melody in the performance, those synths/organs and some cool drums in the track, as well as an overall empowering message that just ticks all the right boxes for me!!

her hair!! 

he could have phrased it better 

im assuming it's a lot more piano. if what BoZ says is true, im looking forward to it!! if it's not i don't mind either way
 
why do y'all hate on her piano ballads...

her hair!! 

anything new?
 

her hair!! 

her hair!! 

I think that was on purpose ..to leave us hanging in suspense maybe :p 
 
He seems to be in a chatty mood today. Ask him more questionsssss

I love her piano ballads. As long as they are like WFWF . I was just curious since his phrasing seems to be deliberately off. 

her hair!! 

boz is so useless we don’t care about ur opinion ur a dua stan 
i’m just so bored either be quiet or say something interesting like number of tracks, producers, instruments, etc. all he’s doing is looking for his daily dose of attention while killing the hype for real fans 
 

?? I dont understand. 
could someone pls clarify with BOZ <3?
 
"Is there more than piano on the album"
 
Boz " a lot of".
 
?? Alot more piano or other instrumentals?

What if the label is fucking around with her this time because Chemtrails era was so scandalous
 
Imagine Lana actually being shrewd in a business meeting like the way Taylor is known for 

For alot of time i stayed mad with the lack of promo and the lazy of lana (i still do sometimes) but we have to understand that sucess is different in her eyes...she got her legacy, Bruce, Joan and alot of legends talked about her and she got a lot of money, more then the she will ever spend in life (the girl buy clothes in zara) so... charts and those thing is kinda ???? i dont see her seeing this as a goal. 

Bartender, Dark But Just a Game and Bel Air are god-tier, upper echelon career highlights.
