Nectarine Ice Cream

This whole time it's just a greatest hits album. The ULTIMATE revenge

what if lana is starting to punish us for all the leaks and LDR8 is just the 3 singles + 12 already leaked songs

omg her horror halloween-esque album is coming

Lorde stans are getting desperate. The new Halsey stans 

I need someone who finally will fix my weather vane 

us on july 4th PLEASE 

if she keeps her revenge in any longer she might just develop kidney stones. let it out mama, be healed.
release.  appease. 

if the insiders don't feel like sharing any info, they could leak some songs  california demo? garden of eden? unidentified flying bill? some random outtake from 2016? anything?

well, knowing her, it'll probably be a tribute or a celebration of the national holiday and her iconic & divisive americana aesthetic  her "oh say can you see" 2.0 is coming!  i'm here for it 

Lana pls release ldr8 on July 4th I can’t relive September 5th 

at this point i don't think that'll happen, she's been writing/recording music since she was in her late teens and she's in her late thirties now, yet she hasn't given up her artistic integrity for anybody, she followed up her most successful and mainstream sounding album with a dark, droning alternative album with synth & psychedelic rock influence, very different from her first album which was very "hollywood sadcore" yet had bops and a very alt. pop sound, her very first album was acoustic/folk and she's never let that go, she's always stayed true  

Lana please drop ANYTHING to just stop the mess in this thread 

She needs a better PR team. And someone to actually proofread her statements before she goes off.
 
There was 0 damage control post QFTC..
 
She derailed her  image with poor phrasing, although her intentions were right. 
 
Taylor was cancelled from 2016-2019. But the GP LOVES her now.  Because Taylor kept promoting LGBTQ equality or endorsing new upcoming artists or trying to be very political.
 
Lana will recover. Slowly but surely. She just needs to do some PR stunts. 
 

Most people who attempt to 'cancel' artists, celebrities and other public figures today are petty nobodies who want power, now that they've seen that they've achieved a modicum of it. They have little sense of psychology, history, the history of the Arts, or our American laws; nor do they have respect for any of those. They are motivated by that drive for power as well as their emotions and a false, inflated sense of self stemming from the fact that they lack a genuine sense of themselves as worthwhile.
 
You're 100% correct about "the weird entitlement/ownership" some people adopt in relation to artists and others. We know a great deal about LDR but there's a massive continent of information that we don't know and never will. So we can make generalized statements--guesses, really--about why she might have taken this or that action,  or more specific guesses based on specific things she's said or done publicly, but let's face, we're all a mystery to one another. Almost 60 years after her death, educated specialists in various fields are still trying to fathom the mind, life and actions of Marilyn Monroe. The same is true of Billie Holiday, James Dean, Sam Cooke, Elvis, Marvin Gaye, Jeff Buckley and still-living figures like Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan. 
 
It's okay to speculate, and fun, but everyone should keep in mind that few if any of us know LDR as a friend or acquaintance, which, if true, would probably give us a little more insight into who she is. But no one should be condemning or attempting to ostracize her, or destroy her career or back catalog. Humble yourself and realize all you don't know. 
 
Just yesterday an IG site played a clip of Lana and Jack in the studio, and the poster believed it proved the NFR! title track and 'Dark But Just A Game' were once the same song. Maybe it's true, I didn't see proof of that in the video presented. 
 
As Joni Mitchell said long ago in 'Sweet Bird'; change 'they' to 'we' or 'I.': 
 
No one knows
They can never get that close
Guesses at most
Guesses based on what each set
Of time and change is touching…
 
 

OH MY GOD I AM SCREAMING YUSUF GETTING THAT PROMO 
 

really hope she removed all of the jack songs so he can recycle them for taylor swift, generous queen

One week and we don't even know if the alboom is even cumming <3   Being Lana's stan is special.

I don't think it's completely our fault. I think she's the type of person to be bat shit crazy in her 20s settle down in her 30s. Her music settled down with her. Even in 2019 when she received nothing but praise for NFR you can clearly see her starting to become more mellow before Question For The Culture and everything else. She was wearing a mall dress and looked more conservative and mature than her Hedy Lamarr edition. Some female singers are desperate in staying relevant and showing that they're on the same level as they were in their 20s while Lana isn't desperate and doesn't care about staying youthful and relevant. Rockstars have a similar pattern, their music is usually less and less relevant in their 30s, they're less relevant, their image becomes toned down and they don't care anymore about competing with the new ones but they're still a household name. If Lana promotes her album properly, puts a cute artwork and a couple of bops she does have to worry about pure sales. 

been reading more and this article literally links to those troll/parody/cover videos "Yusuf Bhactiar" makes instead of the actual songs... LOL
 
https://www.udiscovermusic.com/news/lana-del-rey-three-new-songs/

this was probably already talked about when the singles released but I was reading an article from The Fader https://www.thefader.com/2021/05/20/lana-del-rey-text-book-wildflower-wildfire-blue-banisters and they refer to LDR8 as "the follow-up to Norman Fucking Rockwell!"... the Chemtrails erasure lol
 
also, the fact that articles are referring to the singles as "buzz tracks in anticipation of her upcoming 8th studio album" and saying that quote comes directly from a press release gives me hope that there's some promotion/communication going on behind the scenes. BOZ probably saw one of the recent press releases or memos and it mentioned a July release date and a name change (hence referring to it as "8th studio album" instead of Blue Banisters) #TeamDelusional

also pls pray 4 me and manifest with all ur power that serene queen follows wildflower wildfire on the album, i desperately need it for personal reasons 
 

 

yeah i literally dont blame her at all for never really interacting with fans or even caring about her image anymore. she’s so criticized to the point that, if i were her, i wouldn’t want to be famous anymore. a good chunk of her fans are just horrible. its so sad. 

TikTok really is a cesspool of teens. What you said was only the surface. Teens aren't worse than us but the problem is that social media platforms where they can be anonymous or partially anonymous made them feel more entitled to and woke culture distorted their world view. Instead of saying "School sucks" they play the armchair psychologist giving people lectures and engaging in woke debates that are completely unrealistic. Not to mention the unintentional grooming of sex workers flaunting their money and teens saying how they can't wait to do the same. I'm Gen Z and feel like a boomer because at their age we had Facebook and Instagram but people avoided debates because being woke wasn't trendy and it was and still is embarrassing if someone you know irl seeing you arguing online. 

Omg this is exactly what I was referring to. They make such bold accusations of what her activity was at the time, who she was hanging around with, and her state of mind, but even in the Dazed 2017 interview with Courtney Love, MOJO magazine this year, and like you said, White Dress, she’s looked back fondly and nostalgically on those years - life always has its blessings and hardships at every stage and Lana being the intelligent being she is, can turn both into beautiful art! 

it's like all of the tiktok stans acting like the lizzy grant era was a horrible time of her life and everything terrible happened during that time, like, she's always been fond of that time of her life and she literally acknowledged her trailer park interview for white dress?  it's really weird that they're speculating that her life was absolutely terrible when they don't even know her, and they act like living in a trailer park was the absolutely worst thing and that she was surrounded by poverty, drugs, prostitution, and mental illness, it's ignorant
