i don’t like to talk too much about lana’s personal life especially when it comes to dating because that’s not really my place BUT i did just want to say how nice it seems that lana is continuing to stay friendly with her more of her exes recently (Jack D, Mike, Barrie again). it seems like some of her previous relationships have ended pretty tumultuously considering we never saw or heard of a few men ever again after they split. i’m sure that’s nice for her :’)

Appreciation post for the first verse of Heroin:
 
Topanga is hot tonight, the city by the bay
Has movie stars and liquor stores and soft decay
The rumblin' from distant shores sends me to sleep
But the facts of life can sometimes make it hard to dream
Life rocked me like Mötley
Grabbed me by the ribbons in my hair
Life rocked me ultra softly
Like the heavy metal that you wear
 
 

This is the first album we don’t have the tracklist with the preorder and although this is the most exciting moment of any pre-release for me, I’m surprisingly fine without having it yet. I really loved when we learned about the tracklist of LFL through magazine interviews… (even though she scrapped Yosemite while it was her favourite and had talked tremendously about it ). I wouldn’t be mad if we learned some titles through a magazine interview again before the big reveal of the last titles.

I get that VB is not for everyone. For me, it was a dream come true: I love trippy slowburners of a song, and this ticked all the boxes. Cruel World was the closest she had dwelled into that genre before VB, but those alt guitars Knocked it out of the park for me. Yes, the lyrics are bland on their own, but it’s a song about getting high: pretty normal they’re not Shakespearean. But again, I know that not everybody will love those vibes. 
but to read some Video Games slander is a bit surprising to say the least  it’s not even my fave from her, I can spend many weeks without listening to it,  but I still love it anyways and when the feeling is right, VG hits hard. 
anyways, back to topics: I do hope that some of the trippy guitars from VB and the end of MAC will be on this album. 
anyone else feels like the « Honeymoon from hell » caption from Jack’s IG story was about them recording American Whore? 

not even one month omg im not making it to march 

the vibes in this thread are getting weird 
anyway. i had flu and a high fever for like 3 days and ocean blvd was the first song i listened to when i got better, and it sounded so amazing and fresh and magical almost. can't believe it's been almost a month and i can only imagine what we're getting with this album. i actually love the fact we know so little 
i'm sure we're getting a new single (and maybe the tracklist) end of january/february, and perhaps another one right before the album.

3rd week without an album tracklist 

i don’t go out of my way to do so. if i see a post or something about a celebrity, i’ll read it, sometimes i don’t, it just depends on the person and article/post. i follow celebrities that i really love such as lana (obvi), marina, and taylor swift. there’s definitely more but those are my mains. 

what i’m about to say is SO random but i needed to share LOL
 
it takes a lot for me to admit that someone is hot. i can say yeah, they’re pretty but not like woah they’re so attractive and hot- especially a man. recently i’ve been obsessed with avan jogia. it was the following picture that just made me WOW.

none of my friends think he’s all that, but those tend to be the guys i think are hot lol. 
 
about a week or two ago, i was at kohl’s and i saw the following picture of ashley benson. 

the way my mind just went WIFE. 

i love how lots of 2000’s artists are making a comeback. for example, demi lovato’s new music is so different compare to her older music, but it’s way more personal and meaningful to them. same with miley cyrus. she’s such a queen and it’s always been reflected in her and her music, but now it’s more authentic. same goes with selena gomez and several other artists. 

this song deserves way more credit- the lyrics, the rhythm, the way she sings, etc. so beautiful, a fucking masterpiece, truly. 

“livin' for no one costs me way more than it's worth”
why must i be punched in the stomach by these lyrics 

this song deserves way more credit- the lyrics, the rhythm, the way she sings, etc. so beautiful, a fucking masterpiece, truly. 

i’m kinda scared that a song off of did you know there’s a tunnel under ocean blvd will get tiktok popular. don’t get me wrong, i sometimes enjoy hearing her songs get recognition. however, tiktok and trend fans of any artist are the death of me. this might be gatekeeping idk. i will say i love seeing genuine fans that discovered an artist through social media. generally speaking, i don’t like the mainstream tiktok culture so yes, i will be gatekeeping this newest album from tiktok’s hands. 

i love seeing artists evolve with their music. if you listen to born to die and then blue banisters, they’re both SO different yet both are SO amazingly beautiful !

Yeah I don’t think it was ever posted here but BlackoutZone talked about this, sometime last year I THINK (unfortunately ATRL was reset so I can’t find the post anymore).
 
But he basically talked about how she was hard at work on the follow up to BTD when they decided to put Paradise together as an EP (and we know Lana herself said she wanted it to be an album but was told it was too soon). They basically formed Paradise using songs she already had, and then continued on with that same pool of songs for the next full-length (which would end up being Ultraviolence).
 
Not sure if what I’m saying makes sense but what BOZ was trying to clarify is that Paradise outtakes and Ultraviolence outtakes are essentially the same thing and there’s no real point trying to differentiate them, especially when some songs on UV are “older” than Paradise (Old Money and MPG, for example).
 
He also talked about how Wild One was on an early UV draft titled as ‘Mike’ and that there’s no real “Honeymoon version” - if I’m quoting BOZ correctly here, he said something along the lines of, for some reason, Lana/her team reached out to Justin Parker regarding the song that year and that’s when Parker decide to slightly update the mix, hence the two very similar mixes we have, and the change in title to “Wild One”. He also said that “Lake Placid” was an early title for I Don’t Wanna Go/Tonight/Black Leather Moonlight.
 
Maybe someone has a screenshot of his post in case I’m remembering any details wrong, but this is what I recall.
 
Edit: and I think he also said what was discussed on the previous page, that Tropico was an early working title for the actual album, not an EP

@lanaismamom Tropico, Paradise (EP) and UV was totally different three projects and original UV was going in be more spirtual cinematic (Ultraviolence demo, BB demo, I Can Fly, Fine China) and singer-songwritter (NOTG, LL, CB).
 
i don't why Tropico is called EP when it literally has 10 tracks and OG Paradise had 6-8.

Gaga sold out to become accepted in Hollywood after ARTPOP flopped, but bigger than that I think it was losing her original team of managers that did her in at that time.
 
That’s why she started pandering to Middle America and turned into this non-problematic, non-offensive figure. She didn’t even publicly say anything about the shooting that happened at the gay club in Colorado recently (IIRC) when before, she was very vocal about things like this. 

I’m happy she’s had a successful transition to film, it suits her and she can still make good music for soundtracks (like LBR, ASIB was better than J/C and performed better than them too)
 
But I think her pop career is over. Chromatica felt forced. She didn’t really seem into it, just going through the motions while promoting. Songs are half baked too. I hope she puts dance music to rest and does something more true to what she feels next album cycle. 
 
Hold My Hand was abysmal though. But like I said Middle America, so it did what it was supposed to do I guess 

is this official or is this a fan upload….

It’s official, planned to be released tomorrow.

her tik tok pandering era 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
