i'd say she more put the daddy stuff in her music to rest after uv but she worked with rick the most for hm and lfl so i don't think its related at all. if anything i think rick really helped lana usher in her more mature sound & lyrics (maybe it is bc he is so much older than her but it could be a coincidence since she continued this with jack)

Flop opinion! They balanced each other out perfectly and I hope that the interlude was just a preview of a future project they could be working on. I wouldn’t mind another song or two from them, they both are crazy talented.

what are the chances that we'll have a jon batiste collab in this?

i think she just didn't have time and it was an obvious song to drop from the setlist since it was just a mashup then she ended up changing her setlist after a few shows anyway. i wouldn't read too much into it. if it was a new song, an insider or leaker would've known about it by now. and yeah if it was a new song that she put on the setlist she would've performed it by now

More than any other factor, I think it's because her songs have depth. Lyrical and emotional.
 
The same reason people flocked to Tori Amos in the 1990s and 2000s, and, in the distant past, Joni Mitchell.

i think everything you said here is completely wrong. just bc lana used older songs doesn't mean she dropped her original concept bc they actually do fit into the concept quite well. no, they weren't written for this record but they didn't fit the records she was making when she made those songs so she put them aside til they did fit a concept. some were leaked but thats irrelevant since they were never officially released til then. its just like how yosemite was written for lust for life but fits chemtrails' concept better or how california and the next best american record fit norman's concept perfectly. and songs like black bathing suit and beautiful weren't outtakes so idk what that's about and they do fit blue banisters' concept if you keep in mind that the concept isn't just about her family, but about her whole life and what's important to her which includes her struggles with the media, not just her family. the album isn't sonically cohesive and can feel a bit messy but it definitely has a clear concept and still feels like a proper album. like when i play the album for non-fans who don't know a the history of the leaked songs and whatnot they don't see the album as a mess or lacking a concept. unpopular opinion but even tho i like ocean blvd more than blue banisters, i'd say blue banisters has a clearer concept and overall theme than ocean blvd.

am i the only one who thinks its pretty obvious bittersweet anthem is just a mashup of national anthem and bittersweet symphony?

i feel like if she rereleased it, it would just be called "lana del rey" now with her current spelling and no "aka lizzy grant" attached. but that's the only change i'd be fine with
you're thinking of "the man i love" which a fan edited from the second trash magic demo

i only play the taylors version if i'm in the mood to listen to the vault tracks too. otherwise, i always listen to the original one bc its a classic and the taylors version one sounds so phoned in. like out of all her tv albums so far its definitely the worst imo. 

how does it make zero sense? the intro to national anthem is almost exactly the same as the instrumental to bittersweet symphony and people have been taking about the similarities between them for over a decade and she's done mashups of her songs with other songs that share similarities before (like cherry & scarborough fair) and national anthem is always a crowd pleaser and bittersweet symphony is a hugely popular song so a mashup of them would be perfect for festivals so its much more likely than it being a random unreleased song that even leakers and insiders have never heard of.

ngl i really don't see a point in leaving such comments under someone's post, like how does that benefit anyone? lol there are way better things to do for sure

Lana clearly cares as there were multiple times where she replied to negative comments. Some fans are unhinged with their Taylor Swift - Beyonce expectations on Lana, even more if they even leave horrible comments on her social media. 

personally i categorize her albums in groupings of 3
first group:
aka
btd
uv
second group:
hm
lfl
nfr
third group:
cotcc
bb
dykttatuob
 
so i do see the next album as being apart of another era in that sense.

Plus she also soundchecked national anthem song in brazil
