Just wanted y’all to know I have officially submitted the list of proposed questions to Lana’s team for Primavera Sound when we get to interview her and I personally crafted the questions myself and included two about Lasso:
 
You have announced a new country project coming up, called Lasso. What can you tell us about this record and why did you decide to go country?
 
Looking back at your discography, you have always created albums that blended genres and sonorities, in your own unique fashion. Should we expect a similar path for Lasso?
 
Sorry for the boring, corporate questions but this is the best I could come up with without ruffling any feathers in my office lol. If it was entirely up to me, I’d go full LanaBoards and straight up ask her if Zodiac will ever see the light of day, whether or not Lizzy Grant will ever go to streaming, what is her favorite MissDaytona tweet, etc.
 
Not Portugal coming through for this forum when our Alabama sisters have failed us.

yep lasso is going to be LFL 2.0 cus Lana is dragging people online again

RUMOUR: Lana to collaborate with Orville Peck when 

No one cares for a Melanie collab, it isn't 2010 anymore. 

I feel like the Lust for Life framework for collabs could work for Lasso - having one legend and then a few of your own peers. 
 
Quavo, Kacey Musgraves, Orville Peck, Nikki Lane, and Dolly Parton would be my picks for the album based on what makes sense realistically and what I would hope for from a country duet.

Orville Peck and Zach Bryan would be perfect.

I really hope Nikki Lane going blonde doesn’t ruin this album rollout. 

If I go blonde do you think we can get LDR x NL1 back?

istg y'all need to stop manifesting a ten-track album, why on Earth u want less music from Lana? 😭🙏
 
Give me a 15+ songs SERVE
 
 

I'm just now finding out that 24 is a hated song?  I thought everyone loved 24

You joke but some of those songs receive an absurd amount of undeserved hate

from one side i want monster surf pop album but i'm going always manifesting psychedelic trippy insane desert rock/alt-rock/shoegaze vibes mixed with moody dream pop, country and singer-songwritter influences 
 
i even made cover for that (it appears my neighbour's cat)

I wouldn’t call any of those straight up pop songs but I’d say it’s a definite that she’ll release more songs like the ones you mentioned

your username is the BEST HAHAHAHA 

Its crazy to me that not only is she the greatest singer/songwriter and artist of all time but she is constantly putting out music for her fans 
 
How often does an artist this good be SO active??
 
Everyday she breathes and continues to create we are literally witnessing history, a pivotal moment in time
 
100 years from now, gays from all over the world will be looking back and WISHING they were us, hi ladies! 

thats how you know we all are mentally ill

Every time I remember about this I just giggle. There's nothing more Lana than creating a whole ass verified IG account just to leave it blank for months and still getting more than 1M followers 
 
My theory is that they decided not to use it for this album cycle and they will just change it for the next thing (whenever that comes).
The fact that Ed follows it is basically confirmation that it's official so at one point it was meant for something... not anymore tho cause they didn't even post about the album or the festivals. It was probably supposed to be the promo account since Lana's is private 

The Born To Die Lana is alive and breathing 

AHHHHHHHH!

That was ART. At the end where she was supposed to be dead like all these other women but made it out alive and happy omg 

I wasn't sold at first, but... I'm sold 
 
Not only does this work so beautifully with the process-is-product aesthetic on Ocean Blvd, but is honestly such a definitive LDR statement. Like, the fact that there's already discussions about the BTS shots being inauthentic just speaks to how well she executed this concept of "blurring the lines between real and the fake" (to quote a certain BtD classic). You never know what's a persona and what's genuine LDR (whatever that is!). And the audacity of ending the video with her posing with her (as yet) nonexistent Hollywood star? It doesn't get any more classic Lana. In awe

Well she explains in the video why she decided to record it in that way so the answer is right there I think it’s creative and looks great! 

It wouldn’t be a Lana release if half of her fans weren’t complaining about not getting what they wanted 

Ma’am, she’s an actress!
Loved the concept of it being BTS, her look w/ the blonde wig and the hood… then when she takes the blonde wig off and there’s another wig underneath… homegirl has been watching drag race.
This eerie song deserved an eerie music video and that’s exactly what we got!

I found this video to be so captivating. The incorporation of the behind the scenes footage mixed with the official footage makes it feel like you’re watching the lives of these old Hollywood stars. That part with Lana talking about acting like a robot while dressed as Marilyn was really powerful as well. And of course she looked absolutely stunning. My favorite look has to be the one at the end with her Walk of Fame star. I can’t say this is what I was expecting this video to be, but I’m pleasantly surprised
