    Margaret in / Hope is a dangerous thing out. (Jack stays)

    Let the Light In in / Candy Necklace out. (FJM takes Batiste's guest spot)

    Snow on the Beach in / Ocean Eyes out (Taylor instead of Billie)

     

    These are my predictions. Everything else on the setlist will probably remain untouched, although I''d love to be proven wrong. The mixing issues need to be fixed. Hopefully she'll mention Lasso...

    I’m just confused because the twitter insider said there was no colabs on Lasso, unless this was a newly added thing (which is very possible because that user also said the album wasn’t done yet). 
     

    tbh ever since LFL, her albums have been a mixed bag of sounds (with COTCC being the most ‘cohesive’) so I’m not shocked Lasso is shaping up to be the same way. 
     

    That said, if she’s adding a Quavo song to the album, I can’t imagine the name Lasso is going to stick

     

    The twitter insider said "no covers", not "no collaborations". :oopna:

     

    I doubt that the Quavo song will be on the album though. But I *do* think that Lasso won't be a typical "country" album at all. I mean, she used the term "Americana" back in September, which is much broader than "country", and Lana isn't particularly reliable when it comes to describing her own music, lol.

    Remember what Lana said last September?

    I’m going to continue going where I feel the only next stop is, but I think it’ll be in an Americana vein. The hard thing, in your personal life or in public, is that you can lose the idea that passion should be your true North. And, instead, safety should be. That’s the biggest pitfall. Being scared into making safe choices. Having a little bit of a cool-off period from the heat that might have been in a bad way, I got to reevaluate things. When there’s a little space, you get to choose. Then things get good.

     

    Jack also said that both of them are heading into a very strange place artistically, and that Lana does not intend to conform, but will keep on pushing the boundaries and trying new things.

     

    Given that they've been working on Lasso for 4 years, this tidbit from Antonoff's Vulture interview is quite interesting:

    When we were doing Norman Rockwell, we had this whole idea of being up in Laurel Canyon and driving the truck down to the club. We moved on from that concept.

     

    So perhaps Lasso will be structurally similar to Ocean Blvd? A more country/folk/Americana-oriented first half that slowly merges into something experimental and playful and genre-bending? :trisha3:

    But as with “Break My Soul,” Beyoncé’s attempts at 9-to-5 relatability can ring slightly hollow from beyond the veil of privacy and security her monies afford—it’s just as difficult to imagine her boot-scootin’ at a honky-tonk as it was to imagine her rolling at the club. The ho-hey stomp-clap of it all, complete with an Andy Griffith whistle, veers dangerously close to the border of Lumineers car-commercial music; this is working-class music for folks who can afford to drive a Lexus.

    These are slightly underwhelming. Texas Hold ‘Em is cute, but it should have been way shorter. 16 Carriages is stronger, but still far from top-tier, especially compared to Daddy Lessons which is a truly great song. I’m kinda worried, but hopefully Beyoncé will prove me wrong. Break My Soul was similarly underwhelming (still better though ngl) when I first listened to it, but Renaissance was terrific.

    i feel like it will definitely be split into two parts, didn't she already say that she changed her mind and she will combine the covers and country album she planned??or am i confused? but i think the first part  of the album will be the og country songs she made and the 2nd part will be some classics and covers, anyways im actually so excited for it and i hope take me home is on it

     

    According to an allegedly reliable insider, there are no covers on the album. But the album isn't finished, so anything is possible!

    Or...Lasso could be split into two parts: the first part has this nostalgic "oldies" feel (songs inspired by Wynette, Cash, Cline, Sinatra and all those great country singers of the 50's/60's/70's), and the second part is basically Lana updating and subverting the genre with an unexpected and completely modern take, blending different styles together (something similar to the transitions and playfulness of A&W and Taco Truck). :trisha3:

    @barttttender Absolutely! Johnny Guitar is a masterpiece, in my opinion. Ahead of its time, gloriously melodramatic, and astoundingly subversive. How often do we see a female lead in a western? And the antagonist is a woman, too! 

     

    @rosemeadexclusivebbnewyorkcity Another Delphine Seyrig fan! :wub:

     

    I hope that the opening track will have an iconic intro. Imagine something similar to the legendary intro of Nancy Sinatra's Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)... :cumming2:

    A Western-themed project sounds like something much bigger than a MV. It could be a series of MVs for 2-3 songs, or even a short film. It could be anything really! I mean, she did tell us that "things are about to get crazy for a long time". :lange:

     

    Anyway, I hope that the visuals/covers will be inspired by Joan Crawford in Nicholas Ray's Johnny Guitar. Now, that's my definition of cuntry. :oprah:

    Releasing the lead single in April (Coachella month) would be awesome. We're probably getting "Blue Skies" this month so there's no need to rush things. I think that she must be in the final stages of production; she might go back to Nashville and work with Laird again or she might keep working with Jack during these last 2-3 months, but she'll obviously be in California in April because of Coachella, so she might have the final session(s) with Jack around that time. Which kind of makes sense; it'd be a 5-month gap between April and September (assuming the album will be released then) and vinyls etc. will probably be ready on time.

    I really thought that she would win Best Alternative Music Performance. She had *no* competition at all. A&W was the most acclaimed song of 2023. It topped all the major publications' lists. It received a SOTY nomination. There was no fucking competition! When she lost that, I knew that she'd leave empty-handed. I mean, I get it, for some bizarre reason "the record" was the most acclaimed album of 2023 so it beating Ocean Blvd in the Alternative Album category was a plausible scenario as much as we don't like it. But the Scammys refusing to give Lana the Alternative Performance Grammy despite the fact that 2023 was a huge year for her both commercially and critically and that she had a unanimously raved song? It's an insane and disgusting snub.

    I’m sure we are going to get a traditional country album as i’m sure the most iconic country artists are who will be inspiring her for this project , but i do hope she plays a little with sounds and gets a little bit weird or unexpected with some of the production. 
     

    Blvd has a very somber tone but goes down some unexpected turns a few times.

     

    I think that she will. Didn't Antonoff mention that he and Lana are heading into a very strange place artistically? Given the acclaim for A&W, I doubt that there won't be at least a few weird/experimental touches.

     

    Yes, the Tammy Wynette/Johnny Cash/Patsy Cline/Nancy Sinatra etc. influence will probably be very strong. She worships and adores these artists, and I'm pretty sure that evoking - and reviving - their soundscape will be one of the key elements of the new album (Lana will adjust the genre to her own sensibilities and style of course). I'm not expecting generic modern country at all. If anything, the "Henry, come on" snippet is serving Ultraviolence outtakes/Sirens/Yayo-esque realness. So a combination of sparse acoustic minimalism and lush 50's/60's country/folk/Americana productions is quite possible and extremely promising, too.

     

    The fact that Lana and Jack have been working on this project for four years is very intriguing; Chemtrails, certain sections of NFR, Ocean Blvd and Blue Banisters feel like a prologue and an early taste of what she wanted to explore and delve into. 2023 must have been an insanely productive year for her; she was in the studio with Jack back in December 2022, recorded many songs in Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi, and, based on what she said on her IG story a week ago, just finished another songwriting section with Luke Laird and is currently recording new songs with Jack in L.A. I haven't seen her so proud and excited about a project since 2018 when she started working with Jack and gave us Mariners and Venice Bitch. I dunno, I have a very good feeling about this! If she plays her cards right, this could be a monumental achievement; she could re-define and re-introduce country and folk music to the general public. And if she does pull this off, it'll be another game-changer.

    I know she said she’s going country… but the way she’s been dressing lately is like she’s about to drop some dark gothic southern rock realness:true:

     

    Absolutely. Didn't she record the majority of the new album in the south btw? I'm not expecting Chemtrails redux in terms of sound and aesthetics. And this feels like a real passion project for her. I'm cautiously optimistic despite not being a particularly big fan of country music! I'd love a dark southern vibe along with some 50's/60's country aesthetic (Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline etc.). 

     

    Anyway, the Taylor album title kind of feels like a parody of Lana's long titles, ngl. But a collaboration is quite possible!
