Lana De Los Reyes

Also, I do highly encourage the use of spoilers when talking about the album as we are still in the Pre-Release era x

but seeing people pretending to have unleaked to trade for hq leaks of an album that is coming out in less than 4 days is a whole new low for me

every day is a clownery day on lanaboards dot com are we surprised

I'd love to work at these stores just to have the pleasure of saying "You can't buy this item until august 30th ma'am" to every twink who showed up with the album at checkout 

send him your grandma's garden pics, judging by his ig profile he has plants fetish

Omg my fave part of release week each era, is the gays contemplating stealing from stores to get the album. The final mess before the release 

I hope he doesn't leak it, but I need to see the booklet.
 
Edit: but I guess most vinyls don't have full booklets.

bullied her grandparents into stealing a cassette for her from the warehouse, iconic.

i’m lowkey excited to watch ajayll’s review on youtube once NFR! comes out.

Wait people don’t like In My Feelings??? That’s like my favorite song from L4L, the level of fed up she is, is so refreshing to hear. It’s such a cathartic song about female anger and the men who don’t deserve us.

the fact that we're gonna get to listen to California in HQ in a week has me crying 

fuck it i love you is basically the surf rock sister of summer bummer

“she will be on this show next tuesady night. so i spoke to her and that’s just a little bit of what was said. loads more talk about the full album norman rockwell which is dropping on the 30th of august. and you’re gonna hear all of it on the show next tuesday night.”  
 
by “all of it” i’m pretty she means the “loads more talk” about the album

Let's fucking manifest it guys

BEST NEW TRACK Lana Del Rey  
“The Greatest” 
The stakes have never been higher. In Lana Del Rey’s latest song “The Greatest,” an entire generation is burned out. The world is getting hotter. Hope is a dwindling resource. We don’t have much time left. Worst of all, the old highs aren’t hitting quite the same. “I want shit to feel just like it used to,” she sings with a quiver as a sad piano motif descends behind her. Lana’s songs have always sounded like lonely missives from the end of the world with a beachside view; the difference is now we’re watching the clock tick down alongside her. “If this is it,” she sings, “I had a ball.”
 
Like everything we’ve heard from upcoming album Norman Fucking Rockwell!, “The Greatest” is a kaleidoscope of classic-rock radio transmitted through Lana’s hushed, psychedelic lens. The drums roll in slow motion, the guitar solos are fuzzy, the piano is recorded so that you can feel the shag carpet beneath it. Instead of luxuriating in vintage textures, Lana is restless, eulogizing her listless youth while repeatedly incorporating the words “the culture is lit,” as if attempting to dance through the tears. Her new video pairs the ballad with “Fuck It I Love You,” an ode to California and self-destruction. The juxtaposition of the songs seems inevitable; her dreams of escape always lead to the same place.
 
Like a long, dramatic shot of a drifter leaving the scene, “The Greatest” fades with a list of rhyming epitaphs that build to a stunner of a coda: “L.A.’s in flames, it’s getting hot/Kanye West is blonde and gone/‘Life on Mars’ ain’t just a song,” she sings before snapping back to the current moment: “Oh, the live stream’s almost on.” It’s a playful, graceful way to voice a common feeling of helplessness and overstimulation. And if she sounds more at peace than the rest of us, it’s because she’s been here a while, waiting for us to catch up before it’s too late.

The acclaim is starting to pour in. And this is just the beginning,

I-

''In many ways, Norman Fucking Rockwell feels like a fulfillment of the groundwork she has spent nearly a decade laying: She is now free to be Lana, no questions asked.''
 
 
 
Billboard gets it.

Plot twist: we just saw the 2 minutes of Rich Lee, the other 7 minutes are Alex, Ashley and Chuck playing with Bambi recorded with her cracked iPhone using the 8mm app

"Double vid out mañana" latinx queen

me: knows there (probably) won't be a monologue
also me: small monologue small monologue small monologue 

1 day until The Greatest music video. 9 days until the album is released. This feels surreal.

Me when Lana leaves the studio after finished recording the new album

And yet they still haven't sent Doin Time to pop radio (even after going #1 for Triple A and top ten on alternative). Interscope doesn't make sense.

i have 20 copies of this album arriving to my flat on the 30th.
