Pale Moonlight

The most realistic thing that happened, in my opinion - 
 
1. Lana had a collection of songs that she wrote throughout 2020 with Jack Antonoff and Zach Dawes.
 
2. The songs were produced by Zach Dawes (as he and Lana were shown to have had in-person studio sessions together throughout 2020) with the bulk of the production being done in late 2020.
 
3. The album was “finished” but maybe something didn’t feel right or wasn’t quite what Lana was going for. 
 
4. She took the songs to Mike Dean sometime within the last two months (as she stated she wasn’t quite sure what was coming next to Annie Mac in January 2021, but then suddenly, in March 2021, has a whole album ready for release this year) 
 
5. Her and Mike aren’t quite done working on the production of the album, but must know what the sound of the record will be, as something album-related is slated to happen next week. 
 
6. Mike said he and Lana are planning to work with each other for a long time, so some new songs that they have been writing together since ~February/March may make an appearance on BB (hence, Mike not wanting to talk about the album/his fear of “jinxing” it, and the inevitable delay) or be saved for a later album.
 

"Lana will be featured in an upcoming song" there's that rumour and The Weeknd is about to release new music (he's teasing it) 
That'd be such a good promo for BB era.
