I think the very positive reaction to A&W from the limited circle of critics is a good sign. I feel that the song will be a perfect representation of the album - dark, melodic, some piano,  somewhat instrumental, some trap beats, very different vocal styles, wordy and storytelling-style. If they liked so much diversity in 7 minutes I’m sure they’ll love the album. 

A&W is on this Spotify playlist called “All New All Now” and she’s the cover 😊 

I live in Rosemead

Just imagine how much better it would do if Lana’s team did their jobs. A&W is a thriving, independent queen which we applaud. 

he's been the most popular music critic for a while now and his fandom is not only big as also particularly vocal online. him having good opinions about lana means, at the very least, free promotion 

Who is this bald man and why do I keep seeing so many people worrying about his opinion? 

it comes from it being sampled by this song:
there’s a drop at 1:28 and kintsugi said the song is similar to cinnamon girl/tulsa jesus freak 

Fantano liked it 

BoZ was so real for saying Did you that there's a tunnel under ocean blvd will be a great begging to 2023's music cause A&W is already the song of the year 

I love A&W so much. I love all her stuff, but it's been awhile I been really obsessed with a LDR song.
Are we really not getting a music video (I guess it would have come out already)....??
 
Having A&W makes me feel like we'll get another BOP or two on this album? Which are they again?

With like no promotion or music video 

Ummm smash single 
 
NFR era you are over 

Lana Del Rey's “A&W” is currently projected to debut inside the top 40 at #37 on the UK Singles Chart.
— It would mark as her highest charting solo song since 2014 (West Coast).

The "Oh my God" at the beginning of the Jimmy part is so iconic and sexy 

I like need this album. 

Even with the change in date of the album release, I feel like this is the smoothest era so far in recent history. I think we quickly forget how uniquely awful the waiting period for NFR! was (I wasn't on LB at the time, but I remember waiting in annoyance through most of late 2018 to mid 2019), the disaster that was the COTCC announcement (+ the White Hot Forever announcement) and the radio silence making us think the whole album had been scrapped post-QFTC, and the total ambiguity of the Rock Candy Sweet -> Blue Banisters release dates. 
 
We really lucked out with Did You Know. 

sry
i just have to laugh at Lana being held up as the poster child of anti-feminism as a 37 year old woman with no kids or husband, who is famous & makes herself million of dollars. like nauuuuur be fucking for real for 3 seconds & direct that energy towards the "andrew tate is right actually" tiktok b*tches
 
maybe these should be moved to rando discussion thread tho my bad

the way we got A&W without a peep from the oceanblvd ig account 

legends recognize legends

Glenn Close an LDR stan? New Mother?

Something about this song feels so fulfilling that I'm no longer starving for new Lana content until the album drops (I wouldn't mind if there's more to come tho). 

Lana’s feminism manifests itself in atypical ways. In her work you have to read between the lines. I’m what you would consider a “typical feminist” but Lana definitely is. A feminist is literally just a person who supports women getting the same rights as men. Speaking up about domestic abuse (Ultraviolence) is a bold choice and many could argue it’s romanticized but I doubt that was Lana’s intention. She makes music for her and gives no fucks about how others perceive it. A woman not seeking validation from the media and doing whatever she wants is feminism if you ask me. It’s just not “typical” feminism. 

Idk if this was mentioned already but I had a brain blast and I wonder if Lana did this intentionally:
We all know part 2 of A&W is very much giving Lizzy Grant/BTD energy, and when the song starts to transition, all the vocals sound reversed and there’s also some effects that sound like it’s a VHS tape rewinding or something so it’s like she’s literally time traveling back to her old style. And that also makes me wonder if the narrative of this story is actually taking place in present-day Lana’s life or if she’s just reflecting on her Lizzy Grant days
 
or maybe I’m just dumb LOL

Guys i miss kintsugi

3 more days until we're exactly a month away from the AOTY
