Jeanne Dielman

they said fan favourite not forgotten and panned

A few thoughts on the tea we received yesterday:
 
First of all, I'm very excited about the "brain-frying" pastor interlude, lol. The eerie unsettling background music is giving LA Who Am I To Love You instrumentals, tbh. Lana giggling and whispering, while the pastor is screaming his lungs out is another bizarre and disturbing detail. And the interlude is placed right after three explicit tracks, with A&W apparently being very wild both sonically and lyrically. I mean, BOZ doesn't even skip it. I wonder if it unintentionally (?!) exposes the pastor's clownery. BOZ told us that Lana's looking for guidance, so the interlude being track 5 probably means that the pastor has failed her.  
 
I'm genuinely gagged by the fact that she kinda bookmarks Candy Necklace with two (?!) interludes, lol. It's such a strange decision, and I wonder why the interlude featuring Jon Batiste would be so controversial/difficult to listen to. Is it just an audio clip of the two of them having a random conversation? Because I'd be surprised if a track by Batiste would be sonically divisive, unless it's a bizarre and borderline unlistenable/potentially cacophonous jazzy outro to Candy Necklace. In a way, the interludes might help the tracks surrounding them (A&W, Candy Necklace, and Track 8) stand out even more - perhaps this is Lana's point. Or they somehow fit in narrative-wise. A&W will surely be a highlight in her discography according to all our info so far, and the Candy Necklace snippet sounds kinda eerie (and it's the only track that she actually teased, so it must quite important for Lana). 
 
Sweet being this album's Love song is exactly what I was hoping for, lol. I was scared that we'd get another Beautiful based on the writing credits!
 
I am thrilled about the AK composition. He's so talented, and @Kintsugi implying that it'll be the Cinnamon Girl/Tulsa Jesus Freak-esque track of the album is very promising. I'm sure that Track 14 will be a moment. 
 
Very excited about Track 11, as well. BOZ mentioned multiple times that the FJM "collaboration" (well, apparently he's getting Snowonthebeach'd, lol) is a highlight and an amazing track, and it also features the RIOPY sample, so, yeah, this is going to be good. BOZ also hyped Track 10 (feat. SYML's composition), and Track 12 (the one with the long ass title) is supposedly BOZ's favourite (or second favourite after A&W) track on the album and one of her best tracks ever. And he also said that Fingertips is stunning...Well, Side C will be that bitch. 
 
Oh, and I knew that she'd deliver a fantastic closing song this time around. A "one for the books" 5:53 closer with an outstanding outro? Yes, ma'am! 
 
I don't know. This album sounds major. 
 
 
 

You're a dreamer, you dream a lot

omg, @hotshot2am making his debut as an insider. 
 
 

We did it for farts, we did it for feet...

now i know why there's a fart synth in your girl!

this took me a second ngl

can we just take a moment to appreciate the album cover? it's gorgeous 
 

wikifeet stans when they listen to sweet and hear lana say that she'll be "sweet and barefeet"
 

I'm really curious how the voice notes in Fingertips transform to the final song, and how noticeable the automatic singing is compared to her other songs.

“I can’t help but feel somehow like my body marred my soul”
 
What a poignant lyric. Chef’s kiss.
 
K i need to like go do something with my life but it’s been fun chatting y’all. ✨

the amount of misinformation i'm seeing on a lot of fanpages.. people can't even properly read the insiders tea 

The way we got all this insider tea yet I feel like we still have no idea how the album will actually sound lmao.

but he didn't spill the fucking tracklist

Sylvia on her path 

Track 6: Candy Necklace 
The Candy Necklace :
 

“Leaning on my back whispering in my ear “come on baby you can thrive…
 
but I can’t”
 
Tears.

Thinking about how LFL flows into NFR sonically, she ended LFL transitioning out of this lush production that was present for some time into some stripped back songs in NFR, continuing later with COCC and BB
Now, knowing how American W**** supposedly is structured as going from acoustic into a slutty trap beat, would it be a-okay for us to think that Ocean BLVD will be mature lana going back to those sounds and changing things where it seems fit with her and her ideas? 
Looking at how Candy Necklace is positioned, between two interludes, it could be possible that Lana will drown us with a more stripped back song once again during the full album listening, but not for long, taking us out with the second interlude?
 
logged back here mainly for this thought that I had in me
 
 

the sample’s gonna be the 50th mention of a candle in the wind isn’t it ? 

DYKTTATUOB having 20mil streams in a month is pretty alright for Lana, especially without a music video or promo. It seems to be pretty stable on spotify. Hopefully she does SOMETHING to promote the album soon
Ohhh Twitter would have a field day with this one. I cannot go through another QFTC week that was HELL

Also, what I loved about what BoZ just said earlier is that the album is consistently good throughout, meaning one "side" of the album isn't better than the other, even though the 9-12 sequence is his favorite. Usually, she puts the best tracks at the beginning of the album, but now we have a consistent, crazy roller coaster to experience  an album artist

My dream for this era:
* A Rolling Stone US cover and/or an American Vogue cover (long overdue imo)
* A proper single release with a high budget music video a month before to drive momentum
* Interviews throughout the first week (Zane Lowe etc.)
* Guest on an unexpected podcast (even Joe Rogan idgaf)
 
Reality:
* She releases a piano ballad with a music video by Charlie or Chuck
* She does an IG live the day after release and calls it a day
 

if Ajayii was listening to album she would probaly thinking that Jack singing is Lana singing (she literally thought that with Miles)

on bb blue banisters release day she couldn’t even crack top 6 most streamed female artists of the day
and with basically no new releases she’s there anyways. this era will be more successful 

i love how when stans try to come up with lana titles they're all so deep, while in reality lana's actual titles are like "not all who wonder are lost" which  is the first thing that shows up when you google "Instagram bio captions"
the GPS acronym will be like the most random sequence of words we have ever seen in our lives and this was kinda confirmed when Kintsungi said "nobody could guess the track list because its very random" or sth like that
