QueenOfHearts

as long as Lana still can keep up with her signature way of composing sentimental melodies then i dont even care how conversational / wordy the album will be.
 
Songs like hope is a dangerous thing, black bathing suit, Off to the races, Wild at heart, wildflower wildfire, change, arcadia, white dress, etc. can sound as wordy as such but still show how Lana is still capable of puting unique, remarkable melody alongside to them perfectly.
 
Meanwhile, songs like California is a song that we listen to the lyrical content for most of the time because there's nothing much going on with the melody.
 
So im not manifesting California in this case.
 
 

I sense a random Lana post coming...
 

so true bestie 

Electric guitar + hard strings + jazzy wind instruments + ambient spacey / nature sounds 

passing by to manifest electric guitars
 

heroin-esthetic sound and roses bloom for you will outsell everything shes done since 2018 for me. and neil krug for sure 

COTCC MV is what we needed. Dark magic, vintage, 80's slasher werewolf, fairy witch-bitch doing rituals at full moon. 
She was the moment, the best thing from the whole era honestly. 
 
 
Wish she delivered this energy to the album, but instead we got a snoozefest of an album with some of her worst songs ever......

until proven otherwise, im believing that @EARTHA CLIT is lana del rey herself. she’s in disguise as one of us and all of the stuff lana del rey has been saying as eartha clit is 100% true and will be factual. 

why do y'all want unreleased songs on the record 
 
just beg for the 25 unreleased project instead of manifesting them on this record pls 

Yep I agree. She has a whole album (allegedly) of covers so she should just release that even though I have to give her props about her choices cause they always fit her albums so damn well

Curiously, I think this was one of her best videos and it fits the song so well... I like the reminiscence, the idea with the skaters (masked, in keeping with the Corona era) and the fact that she was just in the background (I still think the blurry skating woman was someone else but represented a younger version of her). Planned plainness maybe (less is sometimes more), but by no means unprofessional.

when is the release date 

yes
yes it is, its from her single, the title track, coming October 14

I wonder if this album title will have alliteration like the past two 
Waist Deep In Icy Waves kinda has it so 
But I also miss one word titles tho

In Missisippi Where My Waist Deep In Icy Waves In Hudson River I Won Fight With Water, Sun, Clouds Listening Birds Singing And Watching Sycamore Trees Where My Clementine And Violet Is Climbing Using Her Little Hands

I agree pretty much with everything you said. Maybe not the numbers of tracks (the albums feel kinda bloated when there are more than 12-13 tracks and it kinda separates the album in two parts, losing a bit of its cohesion), but any song that could be over 6 min would be a serve (this is what I miss the most from her recent albums: there aren’t that many tracks over 5 minutes. I wouldn’t want her to have long tracks for the sake of it if they don’t go anywhere, anything that builds up and creates a sorta landscape would be lovely).
as for MV and visuals, I see them as bonuses for an album. They are important for marketing and creating buzz, in a way, but I don’t really care that much about them. Sure, when she releases a Rich Lee video or a COCC type of perfection, I’m in awe. But I don’t watch her MV as much as I used to, to be honest.

when the album title is ... LDR9

Her numbers are insane… and she didn’t release anything new. And it’s not a « small summer » either for female releases (Beyoncé, for example). I bet Interscope doesn’t understand it either. 
but to be fair, it’s BTD, UV and NFR that have the biggest share of the (streaming) cake (I’m curious to see how NFR will do in the next weeks: this album is just magic at the end of summer). These three albums all have big production behind them.
So, if the lead for LDR9 is a big prod single, her numbers could remain insane and create lots of buzz for LDR9 (nobody thought of it, but maybe it’s another « HM situation », where Interscope wants a big lead single for the album, explaining the « near completion » post of Ben; if so, I expect the single to be out in the next weeks). 
whatever she decides to release, I’m here for it. Although I wanted a « sexy summery escape with alternative / vintage Melodies » from her back in May or June, I got satisfied with Beyoncé’s and the new singles of Broken Bells (for the hints of trippy prod). And I also had many good moments with COCC, BB and Violet as well. 

Spill. I know you guys love cocc mv but it doesn’t feel like lana to me, i can live without a professional music video for the next eras. It’s all good if she does something in the vein of nfr again visually. 

delusional but:
 
new version of ben with prob a new title - always down 4 her lambasting neglectful lovers (i feel like it could be a much darker version of norman fucking rockwell w sad girl flair)
 
and i would love a new song that references ufb (come to me, tell me i'm wrong / i'm sober but you're still getting higher) :((

I think that If I Die Young, Yes To Heaven, or Fine China could work well 

maybe we have it all wrong. maybe we should be searching for it in a barn 

The Long Island sound has always been pretty chilly imo

what she needs to do is collaborate more with mike dean and danny L harle and release her wildflower wildfire pt.2 hidden place vespertine billions teardrop electro trip hop inspired album

In the Interview they say that day was "unseasonably cold" so I hope it was a coincidence and not the cause of the caption cause I really love it as an album/song title or even a lyric 
Is the water usually cold in NY in the spring?
