True, the only thing we would get it’s another birthday post 

Just remembered that BPBP was originally written and recorded in 2014, and it made me think about how Lana could’ve rewritten some of the old unreleased songs that are gonna be on BB! It’s not a possibility to exclude, even if there will be old songs we already know, they might have been rewritten to fit BB better, like BPBP was changed to fit LFL better

I'd like to think that we're actually getting an album trailer this time (BOZ said that the BB snippet she posted was just a part of that) but I don't know if they came through with it or just scrapped it (maybe they can just use the Lana-only scenes and get rid of Clay). The Arcadia teaser also looks more like a simple visual than a full on MV for the "lead" single.
Imagine an album trailer with BB, Arcadia and the first chords and verse of Thunder 

I bet someone will reply to this with scat porn and that's the sign the era has started 

I got back to work last week and have not as much time to lurk here daily, and yet the thread always has 50+ new posts when I open it. I can’t imagine how fast the pages will multiply when she does announce something for real (classic Lana she served us: birthday posts, selphies, à pic with the producers… and radio silence).

In three days it will officially be two months since she said the song would be out soon 
 
we need to average out these announcements when she says soon so we can have a better estimate of what soonish means 
 
cause I’m going FUCKING crazy 

It’s 1st of September happy new month everyone ! We are finally entering spooky season 
that also means Arcadia is coming … right ? 
 

it was „I‘m going back to Aberdeen“ for me 
 
Imagine having to rework Thunder. It‘s already a masterpiece 

this bitch is taylor swifting in this era

that's where lana got the name for Arcadia guys 

So this is called Poor Man's Paradise
Lana posted a picture from the documentary The Edge of Paradise
Didn't an insider say it was like Paradise 2.0 or something?
 
I'm not exactly sure where I'm going with this, but there's something there. 
 
 
 

Text Book: “Am I a joke to you?”

Arcadia coming on Honeymoon's (and Venice Bitch) anniversary, which is a Wednesday, she loves dropping singles on week days, someone check if Annie Mac has a show scheduled that day on BBC Radio 
 
Edit: NVM i was looking at August, sept 18th is a saturday, abort ...ARCADIA OUT tonight actually!

waiting 

 
also me when I get an Insta notif and it’s another birthday wish 

Maybe they won't prepare lana.lnks.to early or send the songs to Shazam before its release this time cause they already know our ways.
We managed to get the Arcadia title cause Youtube was an unexpected source 

will never happen but Love Is A Losing Game as a last song would be HEAVEN

If she does an Amy inspired album I'll MELT 

boz updating us on BB after kim petras' producer finds him

(ignore the Taylor part )

No but imagine an album with Amy’s sound I wouldn’t know how to act  I personally think she wouldn’t even touch anything to do with Amy though in all honesty as much as she loves her Idk why though. I would love even a cover of one of her songs!

it's actually a diss track produced by dan auerbach, david kahne, and mike dean

I've been thinking about Lana's musical direction and future regarding BB and what's next and I've gathered some thoughts.
 
- On Lana's path and career:
While we may think that she's going on this Joni-like route of being a folky singer/songwriter for the rest of her career I don't think it will be the case after all. Lana's thing is being unpredictable and jumping between genres (NFR and Chemtrails weren't that similar). BB will just be the final chapter of this Lana trilogy of more intimate and acoustic sounding records (that started way back in 2017 with the back half of LFL). In a span of just 3 years she's going to give us 3 records so it's normal that they share some similarities after all.
Joni (and Joan) are big Lana inspirations but so are other legends in different genres like Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone, Lou Reed, Billie Holiday, Elvis, Nirvana... and many others. I'm sure she'll release a straight up jazz album at some point and a soft/alt rock album like what she recorded with TLSP.
She still loves her bops, even her slowest album had TJF there (and it wasn't a single imposed by her label to make it more commercial or anything).
- On the near future:
She's working with Mike Dean for LDR9 and I don't think that she called him just to play the piano (there's a reason why WFWF ended up on BB instead of being reserved for the next album). The other writers credited on WFWF often work on R&B and Hip hop music too so... I don't know how LDR9 is going to sound but I'm sure it will be a big turn from 2019-2021 Lana.
I think we'll find out sooner than we think cause she allegedly finished the record back in April and started recording new material right away and even though she changed BB's tracklist I don't think she wrote new music for it in that period, she just scrapped and added different outtakes. She had plenty of time to rework those new demos before turning in the final BB concept so it's not like she wasted a lot of time there.
- Final thoughts
All of this been said, I'm not complaining at all. I loved NFR and Chemtrails and it looks like I'm also going to love BB. If she keeps doing albums like that I'll be satisfied enough. I have to add that slower doesn't equal better (the opposite is true too) so I don't think she has to sacrifice quality just to make music livelier. 
I think BB will have a piano-heavy side (BB, WFWF, CB) and a rock-ish side (I mean we have Zach, he's a brilliant bassist and she can't waste that talent) with songs like Thunder and some of the outtakes (unless she turned them all into piano ).
I'm so excited about BB and about what's next in line. The best thing about this all is that we'll have a new album in 2-3 months and (probably) news about the next one in less than a year. We really stan the best and most prolific girl out there 
 

Watch it be Hundred Dollar Bill or something of sorts...
And all of us theorising about Serene Queen / Wild One / Wild on You / LFL, HM outtakes / any other logical possibility  

I believe that TNBAR was on the LFL tracklist until it leaked, Lana had even filmed a high budget video for it, which was later reused for White Mustang… The song was entirely done, it was kinda scrapped at the last minute. Then she rewrote the chorus in 2017, probably around the same time she thought about releasing a collection of her favourite unreleased songs, but the production basically stayed the same. She knew she wanted to use it for something after she scrapped it from LFL, and she liked the production enough as it was to not rework it.
The unreleased songs we’re getting on BB are most likely from the 2013-2014 era (but maybe we’ll get more LFL unreleased, who knows), so there’s a higher chance of them being reworked or at least the production being changed a bit and polished. Some might have never been finished when Lana decided to scrap them, a lot of unreleased are probably just demos.

And we don’t know yet which unreleased are gonna be on the album, we just know that Thunder and Cherry Blossom are part of the tracklist. It is speculated by many fans that Dealer finally found a home, but we won’t know for sure until Lana reveals the tracklist 

let's not get it twisted, mike dean's piano > jack antonoff's piano, wildflower wildfire is her cathartic magnum opus
