She should finally release Serial Killer since she's performed it so many damn times ?

I think Serene Queen could contrast and complement WW.

Because of U.
 
LOOK AT ME NOW I HAVE EVERYTHING.
Is a big fuck u to all those who doubted her 

Let's take our meds and walk on the sunny side. At least we'll get LDR9 pretty soon due to that interview with Mike Dean for the bald dude: he has material with Lana for at least 1 full record. I always remember that when I'm upset with the news. Yay

Pretty sure Lana might have an idea for her own album, of entirely self-written songs, that she put together, and sequenced, regardless of when they were written. 
 
No one’s forcing her to put out a second album in a year. No one told her to put more than 11 tracks on it. It’s not like she’s trying to get out of a contract. She does what she wants to do. Other artists like Bruce Springsteen and Prince used to repurpose older tracks they wrote all the time. I’m sure other artists nowadays do, too — they just don’t have insiders with a weird hateboner for Lana trying to spoil the excitement for already hard-to-impress fans. 
 
Weren’t you all thrilled to get Thunder and Cherry Blossom, anyway? The negativity is exhausting. At the end of the day, we’re spoiled — we really are. And I’m very excited for the album, I’m sure it’ll be great.

If you hadn’t been told about the songs being outakes you would’t be crying right now because you wouldn’t have even noticed. So please, stop complaining about absolutely everything because it’s frustrating. 
 
Wait and listen to the album first, then come and cry if you please.

The only thing that could happen is that she *could have* began working on a concept song that years later evolved into Let Me Love You. But it's kind of a reach, so I actually doubt it's true.

BB will snatch your wig and send it into orbit. Can't wait for your bald era 

I mean Lana herself liked an instagram post saying that Thunder and Cherry Blossom will be on BB 

People be having the reading comprehension of a rock. Yosemite was an outtake and also a brand new song for us. It doesn't really matter if she wrote the song this year or in 2014

Lana please reveal the tracklist.
 
PLEASE. 
 
Single out this friday guys. And here is the tracklist <3. 

Dance to them 

Back at it again with the unpopular opinions
Honestly I'm fine with piano ballads as long as they're polished and have a good atmosphere like BB

She's telling her story so it's really exciting that she's revisiting old projects for it. Maybe those songs were too controversial to be released but she just doesn't care anymore 

Yes to Heaven getting ready to overshadow all the other outtake girlies on the tracklist

The amount of hype in this thread is getting me all hyped up again 

She hasn't made any no personality piano ballads tho. Look at WFWF, I can't picture anyone other than her singing that. The it's strange but it's true darling is the most Lana thing I've heard lately. 
Arcadia also has Lana written all over it. Who else could rhyme Toyota with Land Rover?

Video Games is my fav song of all time, Bel Air is one of my fave Lana tracks, I'm a Hope Is A Dangerous Thing stan and I'm a fan of the stripped back May Jailer stuff, so it's not that I can't handle piano or stripped back production but.... idk, I feel like sometimes these slower more ballad-y tracks get lost and lose their value if they're in an album full of them. Making good music is a talent and a skill, but you know what else is a talent and a skill? Arranging and pacing an album well.
 
I also wanna point out that although some fan faves are technically piano ballads (Old Money, Video Games, Black Beauty, etc etc) those songs usually have additional instruments (harps and strings in VG, drums in BB, etc) and strong melodies. There's a fullness to them. The apprehension regarding lots of piano on this album, for me, comes from the fear that there might not be that same fullness on these new tracks and that the album won't be paced or arranged very well and the amount of slow piano tracks could be overkill so I won't care to go back to it v much.
 
That being said - personally I like Blue Banisters and Text Book but I absolutely ADORE WFWF, and that's because there's a strong vocal melody in the performance, those synths/organs and some cool drums in the track, as well as an overall empowering message that just ticks all the right boxes for me!!

Totally agree with everything you said . I really hope there is a variety of instrumentation with this album along with piano . Literally all of the songs you mentioned are my favorite and are piano driven now that i come to think of it .

On another note I can’t wait to listen to Arcadia for the first time the wait is killing me 
*also i would love it if she used harps again 

wait are u NME magazine staff writer? she sent u the album? omg

proof of ur credibility ur honor 

You still had hope for a revenge hip-hop / r&b album after the three singles? 

suddenly the bb album cover art makes even MORE sense! the vibes as we near the holiday season... give me... the void at the centre of commercialism, sitting on the porch alone, slipping out of family parties without saying goodbye  

Venice Bitch single cover vibes ?

her hair!!
