PARADISEMOTEL

I'm intrigued The possibility that she must have chose sonically the softest song on the album as a lead single does not surprise me. She always does that. I am waiting the album sound so much different than Ocean Blvd. So I am officially a TEAM WHORE member.(don't let me down whore im just a soul whose intentions are good) 

shut up already 

For real. I do like the song as I said before but damn…people are just blindly throwing compliments and saying they love it and she ate etc. It’s a beautiful song, the lyricism of this era will be unmatched, but the production itself does feel BBish, as if we’re still stuck in a loop. The insiders were gassing this the FUCK up saying it was different from anything she’d ever done and her magnum opus and…lyrically yes (aside from the last 2 minutes being “don’t forget me” sounding like one of those weird upbeat pharmaceutical commercial song covers) but production wise? You start the song and it’s IYLDWM with *better lyrics and LMLYLAW with orchestra on top. I’m excited for the orchestra, the piano did not disappoint, and I heard the beautiful sound of actual drums somewhere in there but this doesn't feel completely different as people were saying. That’s not to say I didn’t give her 45 dollars at 10:14AM as soon as I found the preorder link but I am holding out hope for the album itself!

Well, it’s been a very eventful day today! We received so much wonderful news regarding the upcoming album, and my spidey senses are already tingling that this will be one of her best yet.
I cannot wait to see all that she still has in store for us. (& I also have a few things cooking up for you all too..)
Time for me to sign off for the night, I’m exhausted after such a busy day! See you all tomorrow, sending all my love to all my lovely Lipsters xx

turista gorida
some of the letters in the LDR logo may also be churchward 69 extra bold

DIDNT THINK ABOUT THIS !!!!
 
also the fact that BB ends with her singing to her sister and DYKTATUOB starts with her singing about her family. KARMIC LINEAGE. 

Perfectly said. 

Also love that on her note she Mentioned Jon Batiste as someone she became really good friends with recently. It made me really happy hearing that they are more than just collaborators  

I really just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the fact that we got fed so well today. The vinyl variants and associate artwork were beyond amazing, the single sounds good sonically (If you dislike the vibe, sound, or lyrics that's your opinion and I feel like everyone has said enough today at this point so I'll leave it at that), we're getting our first album in Dolby Atmos for Lana, and we have a release date and various other things to be excited about. 

And I don’t deny that what you see in it is legitimate, 100%. I LOVE ‘Ride,’ ‘Old Money,’ ‘Yosemite,’ ‘IYLDWM’ And VFR—those are my all-time favorites, but I wouldn’t be offended if you said you thought they were her worst—whether you knew my opinion about them or not. None of us see things in exactly the same way.
 
As far as Lana being offended by something said here, it’s a forum for her Stans and fans, and, as a public figure, she must know that not even a Stan is going to like or love everything she produces, and also that when you get up on a public stage to perform, you have to expect some people to applaud and others to boo or walk out or to review it badly after the fact. 

I feel like The Grants is going to be your favorite song on the record 
 
It's giving me AKA vibes for sure

I AM SO OBSESSED WITH THIS VERSE 
“Harry Nilsson has a song, his voice breaks at 2:05
Somethin' about the way he says "Don't forget me" makes me feel like
I just wish I had a friend like him, someone to give me five
Leanin' in my back, whisperin' in my ear, "Come on, baby, you can thrive," but I can't” 

somebody should ask about sweet and the grants, i'm so curious about them

It’s not her best song by a long shot, I do like it has more vocal layers and production. Lyrically it has some great lines, but there is this sense of repetition from her and plodding familiarity.  I’d be surprised if this is in my top three songs on this record.  I will say that I always see her albums as a piece and I can’t really have a strong feeling about a particular single until I hear the whole record and how it flows and then my opinion can change.  

This is so beautiful  I'm sure she does know that her artistry won't be forgotten but she's had so much hate and misunderstanding thrown her way that there must also be concern that she'll be remembered for unfair reasons, and she really cares about ensuring that her legacy ends up being what she knows it to be. 
 
The way the song ends with the choir still singing her song after she's gone is so powerful, like a mirror to her music living long past her.

american whore is our slutty anthem 

i just hope girl remembers that one of the hallmarks of a great songstress is versatility
Like yes give us these wordy piano ballads, but give us slutty anthems too
