Jeanne Dielman

Very strong debut on Spotify: 
 
1st Day - Partial (only 9 hours of tracking) 
🌍 WW: #139 (NEW) — 1,251,647 (filtered)
🇺🇸 US: #93 (NEW) — 410,167 (filtered)
🇬🇧 UK: #89 (NEW) — 92,349 (filtered)
 
The title track got 1,355,631 filtered streams on its first day (partial), so the gap between the two tracks consists of 100,000 streams. For a surprise drop of a 7-minute album track with zero playlisting on a Tuesday, this is quite impressive. Hopefully it’ll have a healthy run and - why not? - perform even better (the TikTok stans have to make it go viral though!) in the upcoming days/weeks until the album release date. Lana deserves this. 
 
 

Wow. This is actually really exciting to see. She's not one to hype her own material. Seems like she's really proud of this one.

Wearing her new merch!



 

okayyy the only thing i don't like about the album is grimes being on it  but anyways this is better than pang suprisingly 

I love the songs from start to the end so much & no one asked for it but here are some of my favourite moments:
 
The intro bc the guitar & the piano are so beautiful 
The Pre-Chorus, Rosemead & doesn't really really matter part , those harmonies !! 
The piano & vocals in the second verse , it's beyond beautiful 
The jumpscares in the transition,  I'm living for them 
When Shimmy Shimmy Koko Bop part starts 
The last minute, with the verse over the NFR sample, the lost my mind part , then the crazy sound & the scream into the Shimmy Shimmy Koko Bop part 
Everytime she says Your mom called , I told her you fucking up big time 
And probably more like the sound effects & details, but damn A&W is really that good & I have yet dive more deeper into the lyrics but they already leaving me speechless 
 

The title track and A&W are up there as some of her finest work ever. The production is insane and so is everything else, her voice, the melodies, lyrics (!) and all the details. Also A&W is one of her saddest/darker songs. I was honestly scared of the "slutty trap beat" description insiders gave... sorry, but why are some Lana stans so musically basic/ignorant? I would've never described this song that way... Goes to show how some people only see the tiniest bit of surface in music.
 
Anyway, these are her strongest singles since MAC/VB (which were career-shifting). I hope Tunnel becomes her most acclaimed work.

Fingertips trending on Genius (currently at #6) with only 3 lines of lyrics is sending me 

Seeing the acclaim outside of our bubble is so amazing  No one else does it like her, she IS a living legend.

the ending seems abrupt as a single but the jimmy chaos will continue into judah smith interlude

A reminder why I reactivated ✨ love this analysis/your takes always.

A&W is incredible.
 
She primes the listener so brilliantly with the opening lines' mention of her childhood and her mother. That serves to function as a precursory explanation for why "it's not about having someone to love [her] anymore," and why she now is embarking on the experience of an American Whore  –––– which is then developed throughout the song and depicted as a byproduct of her early formative experiences AND how heavily she has been berated by the media. She has internalized projections of herself, which came from her externalized interactions with others (in her early childhood and in her career 2011–onward), which has changed the way she conducts herself altogether. Sociology queen! 

The lyrics are confessional, yet so coded at the same time. She has mastered the art of revealing so much while keeping things completely abstract. 
 
"Jimmy" is SUCH an unexpected, yet welcome sonic twist. It is a true melodic embodiment of the completely uninhibited quality she sings about in the first ~4 minutes of the track. 
 
And let's talk about the killer one-liners that evoke Question for the Culture (which is now becoming a centre-point for lyrical interweaving between songs in the grander LDR narrative). Lines like "Do you really think I give a damn what I do after years of just hearing them talking?" / "Do you really think anybody would think I didn't ask for it?" / "I'm testifying, you already fucked up my story on top of this," / and "Did you know a singer can still be looking like a side-piece at thirty-three?" are just feral. I use this phrase very sparingly, but – she ate.
 
This album is going to be a new pinnacle in her discography. 

So many thoughts about the new song now that it’s really settled in!
 
Initially, I think my preconceived notions of how A&W would sound threw me off quite a bit, but after a few more plays and listening past those expectations, I can confidently say A&W is going to be one of my all-time favorites. 
 
Also, prior to the correct lyrics being posted, I didn’t remotely catch just how dark and nuanced this song is. That’s its own conversation, but I’m seriously so impressed—with A&W and the title track, the full picture of the record is slowly becoming more clear. 

Also, I cannot stress enough how amazing this song is with headphones—cranking up the volume with them really highlights her inflection and the little production gems.
 
She knows she’s about to release album of the century

new gif for the era 
 

also it took me like 30 mins to figure out how to embed this gif so i better see yall using it idc if its not that funny 

Terri Jo just reacted to A&W on tik tok live and i’ve got a recording of it 
 
 
she’s so iconic and lives for lana sm. she’s gonna help with the album streams fr

Lazy people 

tracing fingertips over plastic bags and i think "i wish that i could extrapolate some small intention or maybe get your attention for a minute or two"
REAL music

I’ve listened to it like 500 times 
 
for some reason I feel like taco truck is going to be a collapse on par with a&w now

I've listened to this song 50 times already today () and I'm still hearing new hidden sounds in it. What a layered ass track. 

10/10 pairing. This song is super Gaspar Noé. Or Harmony Korine.

Even Fingertips and Candy necklace are charting in TOP 10 Genius 

I've said this already but after A&W dropping, I can't stop thinking on how good Peppers must be w/ that Angelina sample 

I’m so excited about Taco Truck x VB. The way she revisited, payed tribute and even sampled older songs/sounds in A&W is absolutely astonishing. Kintsugi saying that Taco Truck’s outro is one for the books makes me even more impatient. And Jack teased it on his IG story today, as well! I’m pretty sure it’ll be a glorious ending to a sublime album. 
 
I’m also very curious about the interludes which are supposed to be psychotic and creepy. I wonder if Candy Necklace is going to take us by surprise, too. I remember BOZ saying that all the long tracks on the album have unusual/unconventional structure and this track has an insane amount of instruments on it. And Kintsugi described it as « massive ».

Crude Drawing of an Angel is my favourite track by far. Absolutely transcendent. I also really love Pretty in Possible, Butterfly Net, Blood and Butter, and Hopedrunk Everasking. Billions has aged beautifully and is such an amazing - and fitting! - closer. I’m less keen on the rest of the singles which all have their strong moments, but mostly feel ‘slight’ compared to the rest of the album (Bunny Is A Rider is very cool though) . I also love Dido on Fly on Me (Grimes almost ruins the song, lol).
