Trrrrrr

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

i cannot be the only one who doesn't find this to be very exciting... it just doesn't really sound that good to me

When quavo drops a snippet the song usually drops a week or 2 later Hope thats the case cause it sounds great

its California

I want Lana and Taylor to sing Without You x Wildest Dreams mashup 

Lasso: I guess we'll have a title track as we always do so semi legit
 
Prettiest Girl in Country Music: The Nikki collab but I don't think she's using it 
 
Hey Blue Baby & I Must Be Stupid for Being so Happy: The two country Jack tracks from around NFR... I doubt she properly recorded them for the album but they're cute
 
Henry, Come On: The only "confirmed" track and we don't even know if that's the real title 
 
Four wheels moves the body, two wheels moves the soul: her IG caption and a popular quote so I think it's just about her love for motorbikes and Coachella entrance/exit 
 
Has Anyone Else Died For You: The Coachella billboard about SNL... the font is interesting so maybe it's a hint for a song too (?) It's the most suspicious one
 
feat. Dolly Parton: She visited her home so maybe they recorded something or maybe she just wanted to fangirl 
 
Those are my guesses but there's basically nothing confirmed about anything 

Don’t really care for what Beyoncé is doing, she could have an album called ‘fuck Lana Del Rey’ and I wouldn’t care a less.  She’s a phenomenal singer and performer but her albums are over produced and very patchy, as is the writing.. she’s just too commercial for me. The album cover is alright but any of Lana’s albums trump it easily even Lust For Life 💀
 
Lasso will be something else and much more special and authentic than anything Beyoncé could ever put out let’s be real. 
 
 

20 tracks 
1h30 length
1 10 minute song
95+ Meta
10.0 Pitchfork
Grammys sweep: AOTY, SOTY, ROTY, Best Alt, Best Country, Best Hiphop, Best Duo/group
5 music videos
1 short film (with 3 or 4 songs in one)

I don't want a half-originals, half-covers album. If she has to, then make it a double record - one album originals, one album covers. 

We've already heard all those songs. I want completely new songs. 

it's a perfect time to drop the first single 

.

Taylor's shout out to Lana and bringing her to the stage was kinda like a compensation for Billie not mentioning her in 2020 when she won AOTY 

Just watched the award announcement and my heart breaks for Lana.. she couldn’t even be happy in that moment and she really didn’t want to go up there, but I’m glad she did. 
 
I’m glad Taylor gave a shout out to Lana and took her up there, it was a lovely moment. But still very heartbreaking. 

the way the Instagram snippet already has 17 million views. 

too lazy? she did a whole festival tour to promote the album, she was in the Sunday Times and on the cover of Harper's Bazaar. I think she's really done a lot this year.

Ocean Blvd will be in The Guardian's top ten albums of the year. They've posted spots from 50 to 11 and Lana's not there, so the chance is very high.

Overrated doesn’t necessarily mean talentless,  it means they get over the top praise and awards whilst other deserving artist's get paid dust…often those that inspired them in the first place and would not be around without them. I’m hoping the Grammys finally do the right thing, but I’m not optimistic.  It’s a shame they just vote for whoever they thinks the most popular it seems and who’s topped the charts. 

Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd on year-end lists so far:

#1 — Time Out
#1 — The Sunday Times
#4 — The New York Times
#5 — The New Yorker
#5 — OOR
#6 — Uncut 
#6 — MOJO
#6 — Les InRocks
#8 — RIFF
#11 — Pitchfork
#11 — MondoSonoro
#16 — Exclaim!
#18 — Gorilla vs. Bear
#20 — Esquire
#21 — Rolling Stone
#24 — Paste Magazine 
#25 — Consequence of Sound
#36 — Crack Magazine

#4 overall with 87 points from 41 lists

This is the just beginning . The song is bound to be a modern day classic . As it deserves . I sense young and beautiful treatment in the near future !

those unreleased/unfinished songs are no better than Ocean Blvd. clean your ears. 

disappointed...not good

Wow.. I myself as a stan wouldn't give this album a 9 but Fantano did.. It's really a win for the culture and the metascore let's celebrate

I do think we should email Metacritic and ask them to add those reviews that are missing, those are very good scores, we could go back to 82 or a bit higher to 83
