It's kind of funny that both of those singles were recorded years ago lol. TMHCR in 2021 and SYTH in 2013.
 
Part of me thinks that Lana's management basically forced/pressured her to release SYTH, because she never acknowledges it in any way. I think the closest she's come is adding that video of the old lady doing a cover to her IG story. I feel like she released it very begrudgingly or under duress because of how popular it was getting on TikTok. My bet is that her label basically told her that at that point all of them were losing money by her not giving it an official release. 

Don't shoot the messenger but after her latest IG posts with the antique mirror, bows in her hair, flower knows palette, angel decals, flower and pink tinsel garlands, etc. I actually think Lana might lean more heavily into the whole "coquette" aesthetic for the next album, maybe just with a more western/country-ish flair to it. The more I think about it the more I think I'd kind of love if she went for this sort of ultra feminine/coquette girl with flowers and ribbons in her hair meets southern/backwoods trailer park kind of vibe. 
 
Edit: This is sort of what I'm envisioning:
 
 

Big Bad Wolf (demo version, the one that's 3:44). I've always loved this one, and I only just now realised it matches Dragonslayer as another Lana "fairytale" song.

Yes, I need this !
With over-exposed and highly saturated photos by Neil Krug
 Featuring some cosmic, metaphysic, introspective, thoughful lyrics over the most beautiful psychedelic, cosmic, metaphysic, ethereal, meditative and trippy music.
Something with this energy :

serve psychedelic masterpiece babe

Violet Sings The Blues 
I felt something reading that... WHYYY was it changed

The way that I will literally do this, this is such a great idea. I already have some for the rest of Lana’s albums here <3

i think we need to stop talking and make ldr10 pinterest moodboards instead

I can talk what i want, how i wanna, i can talk what i want, how i wannaaaa  14 years 

AKA's birthday is always a wonderful time to repost this beautiful creation by @Lana De Los Reyes   I think it's truly a perfect trailer for AKA, and maybe one of the best things I've laid my eyes on in general <333

at first i thought they were talking about the SCP foundation and i was so confused  

I can talk what i want, how i wanna, i can talk what i want, how i wannaaaa  14 years 

I guess they really got the best of us, didn't they?
They said that love was enough, but it wasn't  

Happy birthday AKA, you may never have become the whole world's girl, but you're certainly ours  
 
One day, maybe I can articulate everything this album means to me, but wow... hearing AKA for the first time felt like coming home, and it's been that and so much more to me over the years. A comfort (a book of hymns?), an escape (my personal motel party!!), and the closest I'll probably ever hear to my own heart and mind being poured out into an album. For someone who grew up in that "dark trailer park life," and dreamt then and now of a bigger, more beautiful existence waiting somewhere out there, AKA says it all. 
 
Wild child, starry-eyed junkie, Coney Island Madonna, sick chanteuse and philosopher femme fatale... Lizzy Grant, ur everything

Happy Birthday AKA! It's still crazy to me how she managed to capture such an exact, distinct world on this album - I think Queen of the Gas Station and Mermaid Motel encapsulate it best for me. They feel like a mix of watching a movie and taking a peek at a life path I could have taken, but didn't.
My favourite has to be one of: Gramma, Oh Say Can You See, Kill Kill or Pawn Shop Blues, but I love the whole album - it intrigues me every time I listen to it. If Lana ever decides to revisit it, whether it's a re-issue or she just talks about the process of the album, I will be first in line to listen. Endlessly fascinating.

skipless album <3
 
first AKA-nniversary with my Oh Say Can You See tattoo <3

I can talk what i want, how i wanna, i can talk what i want, how i wannaaaa  14 years 

I can talk what i want, how i wanna, i can talk what i want, how i wannaaaa  14 years 

I can talk what i want, how i wanna, i can talk what i want, how i wannaaaa  14 years 

I wanna be surprised. I want an album trailer, but surprised-like 

happy birthday to my favorite album of all-time and the greatest album that was ever recorded <3 i will forever and always love and cherish AKA with all of my heart, AKA is just simply perfect to me in so many ways, i will probably never hear another album that i could possibly connect to the way i do with AKA, and i'm totally okay with that because i would never want to love any album more than i love AKA <3 i connect with AKA and the lizzy grant days in so many ways, i couldn't even go into it because i would be here all day if i did! i will love that period of time of her career and the wonderful music from it forever <3

I wish we got some of the AKA outtakes for its birthday, such as Bounce, High, Reflec, Lemonade Motorcycle Heaven, Coconut and Key Lime Pie 

On that recent Jack interview, he said something about his work ethic with Lana was getting crazier and loonier with time (as in experimenting). I don't know how that would translate with Lana's desire to go for an Americana-esque simpler/less dense route. But I'm sure they'll find a middle ground.
 
I hope she works with new people, but I get the sense that she's the type of person who low-key struggles (or simply doesn't like) working with new people and once she finds her comfort collaborators she sticks with them (i.e. Rick Nowels).

Manifesting :
- white dress 2.0
- A 4 min song that sounds exactly like dance till we die bridge 
- working with new producers
- No features
- Extraordinary bridges 
- No interludes
- Each song is +4 min 
- A lot of saxophone/guitar/orchestra/screaming 

That’s it for now. Thank you all for reading
