HELLLLOOOO

Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd's unfiltered streams on Spotify:
Day 1 - 1,433,900 (partial)
Day 2 -  2,249,393
Day 3 -  1,718,111
Day 4 -  1,239,731
TOTAL: 6,641,135
 
It's a decent drop, although sadly I'm expecting roughly 900k streams on Sunday. It'll increase on Monday though. It's still performing exceptionally well given the circumstances (Christmas songs + SZA + no MV + surprise drop + no social media promo), especially compared to previous buzz and lead singles. 
 
Day 4:
Watercolour Eyes: 1,283,156 streams (it was a Monday though when Lana's streams typically go up)
Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd: 1,239,731 streams
Chemtrails over the Country Club: 971,876 streams (Thursday)
Dealer: 801,946 streams (another Monday, 4 days after the release of the album with the song going viral on TikTok)
White Dress: 747,185 streams (ditto without the viral part lol)
Let Me Love You Like a Woman: 610,229 streams
Arcadia: 530,608 streams
 
Anyway, this should do around 9,5M streams in its first week!

I loved COTCC and BB is maybe my favourite album of hers, but the first has already became quite small (at least for me) compared to what we've heard of what's to come. DYK is just grandiose for me, and COTCC was quite a light album (though it was quite a good one, quite better than NFR, IMO). BB, in the other hand, stands still as one of her most solid ones for me.

The original covers were so cute and scrapbooky I would have loved one on cassette. I feel like they actually better communicate what the record is than the professional shots by Neil (adore them though). 
 
Once I realised BB is like a scrapbook and has rough edges and new and old pictures glued in, curly handwriting, confessions, pages about friends and family and bits of ornamental tape and ribbon, it made it so important to me as a fan of Lana's ongoing artistic development. Whether or not Lana intended it to be appreciated this way (we'll never know), this is how I appreciate BB and it has a totally unique place in her discography for me. And people throw this word around a lot but I think it is really camp, but also so serious and somber. Only Lana could do that 🎀⛈

in my opinion yes this album was a bit rushed, but that's the whole point of it, she released it because she felt she NEEDED to and she already knew what she needed to say and wanted others to hear it
 
 
and i'm not talking about lyrics/production at all, that's a completely different thing... and i get not liking BB, i'm not saying that's a bad opinion. i get preferring an "era" or bigger-budget album over something quicker and simpler. but it was made that way on purpose and the intention of it is very different from her other work

To me, Lana has such a talent for making songs unique to her yet accessible enough to invite others into her world. I think that’s what makes Ocean Blvd so special. She’s so intricate with the way she’s describing her state of mind with such a niche reference yet everyone can relate to her feelings of isolation and frustration. 
 
It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia that Lana always seeps into her music and current train of thought. God this song is so brilliant

MARCH FEELS SO FAR FOR THIS ALBUM  

This song is unbelievably gorgeous and powerful  March 10 is so far 

To me, this is the big difference between this song and the last two albums. Admittedly I love Chemtrails and Blue Banisters, but as a Lana fan they felt very private. I didn't make anyone else listen to the songs on it, and never really brought them up in conversation with my friends. This new song, though, I'm blasting out my windows and sending to everyone I know. So far everyone else seems to like it too. Lana's back babes 

For me Ocean sounds like a song that was worked on much longer than Arcadia. There’s something very full and finalized about it. It’s a story and a completed concept. It introduces you to the tunnel, what it looks like, is used as a metaphor to Lana herself and then ends by repeating “don’t forget me, at the tunnel under ocean Blvd” referring to herself as a soon to be forgotten relic of the past. Her songwriting is extremely confident and the production is considerate to every note and word. The song is like a finished painting, a painting is complete when all of its layers have been built up around an ideal composition. Arcadia is a beautiful song but it’s quite hollow and flat. The melody isn’t very catchy and the chorus feels quite cold. To me, Arcadia is a rough draft of Lana’s feelings and it’s almost like she wasn’t able to get out exactly what she wanted to in the way she needed to. Ocean is that moment. It’s where she’s finally able to put her true feelings into words by using this metaphor.  And to me it’s more relatable for the listener than “my body is a map of LA Hilton hotel cross on a hill” compared to “When’s it gunna be my turn, love me until I love myself” or even the idea of having your moment in life, and being afraid you’ll be forgotten.
