or disco with the same lyrics and more  really get em talking 

Disco has such a creepy Nirvana-esque sonority to it... and the message of not caring and assuming herself as her only god-like figure fits entirely the mood of unapologetic soft revenge vibe she's going for. Who do we have to sacrifice in order to get that song on the album? Kacey Mustygraves? Baldsey?

Wild One would also be f*cking amazing (one of my absolute fave unreleased ever!!) but wouldn't it be too close thematically to Wild At Heart? I'm not sure she would release something that similar...

I just checked the Wild One youtube video and saw the amazing artwork, very Melodrama-esque:

Can you guys imagine if we got something like this with Lana, as the cover??? I would die.

Omg what if Disco is indeed there with different lyrics?

Two questions: is the title still Blue Banisters? and is that piano version of Thunder fake?

Yes to the first (Arcadia not being the title is a hate crime), no idea to the second one.

I really would love something that would sound like Disco but with different lyrics (more adapted to her songwriting these days). 

Anyways, Honeymoon is my favorite album of hers alongside NFR and I’m sure most people would describe it as a boring ballad album - even though it’s probably the richest, most intricate and intoxicating album (production wise) she has ever done. I’m positive and hopeful for this one and I’m sure she’ll put out something gorgeous and special as always but I confess I want a bit more diversity beyond piano and airy synths. That’s kinda why I’m worried about the Thunder rework. The original is strong as it is and I’m sad that it’s probably gonna have a different essence to it than the one I’m used to but that’s not her responsibility and I’ll trust her instinct as always.

I would prefer if the questions people are asking BOZ were more about the sonority rather than which unreleased tracks are going to be featured. I feel like I have zero curiosity to know that in advance.

bitch who said that

Don’t address me like that pls. I was just fixating on the fact that there’s a lot of piano and probably missed the fact that BOZ said there’s a lot more than that.

But watch it turn it into a piano ballad lol.

Thunder being reworked into a piano ballad breaks my heart… I’ll wait until I hear it before making any further judgements but I’d be lying if I kept hiding… the fact that I can’t deal…

Maybe some of the outtakes are songs that were supposed to be in past albums that we’re not even aware of?

I hope it’s not mainly piano. I wanted a shoegaze vibe from her

Jenny by the Pool has her on her story eating a cheeto

Who’s the guy next to her?

She looks so good. Giving me early Autumn vibes which is actually something I feel like when I’m listening to the singles + Thunder.

dbree ain’t working for me girls…

So embarrassing. Imagine going to the Antarctic and bootleg Natasha Bedingfield/Sheryl Crow is the music you choose to make. 

See you in 4 years, Lordie.

serves her right for her absolutely disgusting shipping fees. Charging ME? To ship a bunch of empty CARDBOARD? Bitch just mail me an actual CD in a standard envelope for all I care if you want to save the trees or whatever. Tf is this? 

 

Oh never mind I found it on Amazon Prime for free shipping I take it back I hope this album goes No. 1, down with BillBoard. 

As a Gemini, I’m completely obsessed with this comment ily.

also weyes blood's titanic rising! i'm afraid to have too high expectations but it still gives me hope for more interesting, rich and cinematic production (the likes of text book)

I really love the production in the verses of Text Book but the chorus is kinda... boring.

I don't like Responsibility.

I mean - the message is good and everything, but I'm so over this "whispering lines heavy with meaning over an instrumental". That concept is SO worn out at this point and the only effect it has on me is cringe.

Plus, as much as I like Billie Bossa Nova I can't with all these Billie stans brabbling about "Billie doing bossa nova", when the only BN-song they ever heard is the elevator-music version of "The Girl From Ipanema" This is as bad as Lana fans talking about how she' a trip hop artist because she used some beats on BtD

LOL well Lana did explore trip-hop in more than just BTD. It permeates through a lot of Ultraviolence (hence the Portishead callbacks and comparisons!) and she even returned to explore some shades of that sub genre with Dark But Just a Game.

Also, that Girl From Ipanema comment is so unnecessarily condescending and salty...

Billie Bossa Nova is the best moment of her career. Even better than Bitches Broken Hearts. I’m speechless.

 

Will share my thoughts later.

I’m willing to die on this Billie Bossa Nova hill. Makes me wonder if I could ever handle Lana doing bossa nova without gay-collapsing.

With that said, some of her best songs ever are in this album. I Didn’t Change My Number, Oxytocin, Overheated... even the title track which even though doesn’t exactly tingle my senses due to the genre, it’s still a huge statement.

The album is a bit bloated. I would have removed My Future, Therefore I Am and a couple more and bet on a more cohesive tracklist order. Thematically it doesn’t make sense to go from something like I Didn’t Change My Number to Billie Bossa Nova to My Future... it’s a confusing back and forth in terms of themes and this album would have benefited from a stronger pulse on thematic cohesion.

All in all, there are incredible moments here and some production choices that no one else in the game would even dare to experiment. As personal and touching of a subject Your Power is to her heart, choosing it as the lead single was not a wise marketing move. Had she come up with something more bombastic (Oxytocin maybe?) as the inauguration of the era, it would have made more of an impact in the pop culture landscape. It’s great that she’s breaking records in terms of pre album sales but I believe that’s a testament to her huge and loyal fandom more so than anything else.

Billie Bossa Nova is the best moment of her career. Even better than Bitches Broken Hearts. I’m speechless.

hopefully she can get a bag by producing for Uzi rather than Elon's bank

She’s producing for Uzi?

Disco.

So is Map Of LA/Sierra Madre the official LB name for that song? Coming up with our own names after snippets brings me bittersweet memories from the NFR era .

I think it's going to be called Good God but if it was considered as the album title at some point I'm not sure. Maybe it's Good God as a relief sigh (or a moan ) like what she used to say when singing White Mustang live cause she's finally free to tell her story or whatever went through her head after qftc.

BOZ said the title of the song comes exactly after the moment the snippet ended... so I don’t think we have any real hint yet.

Going through a break-up right now. Tough one. I need new Lana music asap.

LMAO! Ok ok, I got you!

Who’s Courtney?

Pawnshop Blues vs. Backfire.

Haven’t listened to Disco in such a long while and damn... it kinda does have a Nirvana feel to it, specially in the verses. I hope BB has this type of energy. Something kinda eerie, timeless.
