as the tenth anniversary of one of the best debut albums of all time gets closer, i wanted to make a reissue concept for what we could get next january. we all know lana is not going to do anything for this special occasion so i've taken it upon myself 
i hope you like this, i am going to make one for Paradise which i will add to this thread when im finished 

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).

Alboom like that out September 5th

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 
 

la-lana???
 
 

Sorry if this has been talked about already, but I found this at a local record shop! There’s no way this can be a coincidence, right? Maybe we can expect a cover of one of these songs?

the dog in that album cover would be dead by now

I feel personally attacked by this.

Maybe something fallish like moss, chestnut or nutmeg?

Even though it's not her fault, I'll be upset if Dealer is not on the album. We MUST know what it sounds like! I don't want this to be another Yosemite situation...
