I found this: https://support.musixmatch.com/article/137-musixmatch-is-missing-a-song-could-i-add-it So it's likely that they got their info from iTunes and it doesn't mean anything And the reason it was 1 day delayed is because they only import the data once per day.

I don't know how major labels do music distribution so I don't know if it means anything

Her team has just added A&W to Musixmatch https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Lana-Del-Rey/A-W

A&W = AW = AW&J = American Whore I guess American Whore is how Lana and Jack called the track while working on it, AW&J was the initial title before she renamed it, AW was a typo on the mockup and A&W is the final title.

Watercolor Eyes released on midnight local time so someone used a New Zealand VPN and shared it early, maybe that's what you are remembering.

From what I remember only snippets leaked but that was a year ago and maybe I'm misremembering

That's usually because physicals copies get shipped early, this won't be the case for a digital release. And sometimes streaming services mess up and allow playing the song early but I don't think this has happened since NFR.

They were demos and came from a different source so I don't count them as leaks from the finished album.

I'm quite confident it won't leak, there hasn't been a single snippet leak this whole era. The people who have the album early seem to be careful this time.

You have to be logged in plus use the mobile app, otherwise it's still hidden.

Amazon Music also displays the song now

So far they have only uploaded the stereo and lossless version to Apple Music, Dolby Atmos seems missing.

No, for Ocean Blvd they moved the release date 5 days back Unmanifesting.

The release date in Apple Music was also false for Ocean Blvd (2022-12-02 instead of 2022-12-07) so A&W coming on the 16th isn't necessarily confirmed yet.

Can confirm, now I also see it [{"type":"preorder","expectedReleaseDate":"2023-02-16"}]

This is all the (publicly accessible) info the iTunes database has, they are adding a release date field at some point but it's not there yet.

I need some time, the way I get Apple Music data doesn't have a release date It only displays the exact duration in ms: "duration":433916, iTunes would display the release date but that's not updated yet. @111 has proper methods to get release dates that I don't have.

They claim their source is Lanaboards but no one said this here

Someone said "can't wait for the new music" and Lana replied "I'm excited". That's all we are getting on album info

Video of her signing autographs: https://www.instagram.com/p/CoUszBvOWLP/

Also saw these two photos on Twitter.

@Brightsun said she recorded the vocals in the studio Maybe the voice notes were initially used for a demo.

Seems Drew was the main producer for Ocean Blvd (or at least he did the demo) and that song turned out perfectly Black Bathing Suit, IYLDWM are also really good. Arcadia and Violets For Roses are pretty but the orchestral elements are a bit too stripped back for my liking. Beautiful was simply rushed / unfinished.
