As soon as I saw that video of Lana in the studio with Jack at the piano I knew it would cause a nuclear meltdown on LB
I don't have a specific vision for what I want from Lana's next album, to be honest. I know a lot of people hold up UV and HM as standards but I think it's a mistake for any artist to try to recapture magic in a bottle. I'm betting if she tried to do a UV or HM redux it would sound tired and people here would be unhappy. I'm interested in what direction she's going to go next. She seems a little surprised by all of the love she's been getting on this festival tour, and it seems she is maybe a little surprised by the positive reception OB got. I'm curious to see how that will affect the kind of work she's doing - if it will affect the work at all.
Drew Erickson and Zach Dawes are great and I do hope she continues to work with them. I've loved the work they've done with Angel Olsen, Weyes Blood, etc., and I think they've been great for Lana. Of course I love her work with Jack and I really think she has unlocked new levels and depths to her songwriting with him so I'm happy their creative spark hasn't died yet.
I'm cautiously optimistic about Jon Batiste - the interlude and Candy Necklace are great, but I found Life Lessons to be one of the weakest songs she's been a part of in a while. It ended up going on his record, not hers, and a part of me thinks maybe she knows it's not really up to par with the rest of OB.
I'd love for Rick Nowels to work with her again if she feels he's creatively still up to snuff with her present vision.

Wait, I love this.
I’ve always looked at Chemtrails - Blue Banisters - Ocean Boulevard as the trio of albums that are a slow progression from outwards (NFR) to more and more inwards with each album, with OB being her first album post the claustrophobic feeling of the pandemic (hence why it probably opens and widens open from Paris Texas forward). Now with new landscapes, new experiences, close personal encounters with fans, etc will probably inspire her in different ways. And you’re totally right, last time she toured we went from LFL to NFR. She could go to different directions.

True but also some people are acting like if we don’t criticise her for this then we must be forcing ourselves.. being late is not an exclusively Lana thing. While I don’t support her being late, I have a bigger issue with Glasto acting like proper cunts not even letting her say bye to the fans properly while other artists were still playing.. if you apply your rules selectively then you are an arsehole.

For me, it just seems like an unfortunate fuck up, the kind which have haunted her career, but all in all, ultimately, it's no big deal.
It can be added to the professional calamities that have followed her since BTD.
It's over and done with, she got a lot of extra free press and word-of-mouth from it, hopefully she learned something valuable, and the next performance will go off without a hitch.
She may be invited back to Glastonbury, depending on how she approaches this going forward. If she bad-mouths them excessively, it's unlikely she'll be invited back.
I agree with the member who said the Glastonbury brass mean what they said about a sharp 12:00 a.m. cut-off, but perhaps it was, under the circumstances, the right thing for Lana to do to attempt to continue performing and end the show properly.

Fingertips is a serious contender for my all-time favorite LDR song. If you get it you get it if you don’t you don’t if you you know you know and if you don’t know I honestly feel bad for you

Three months in, and I'm still listening to at least part of the record every day.

This album is aging so beautifully for me , it's really one of my favourites albums
Also the title track is still so stunningly beautiful, it's aging like fine wine & since its release it's in my top three of her title tracks but it became recently one of my favourite Lana songs ever as well, still love this song more every time I listen to it

The Guardian mentioned that Rina was half an hour late for her set, so at least Lana isn't the only artist this late, but I'm going to be so annoyed if she pulls this shit for BST. I'm already not very happy with the setlist for this festival tour anyway.

I am so happy she's cut so much of the playback and has actual backing vocalists to help support her. It really does make everything so much richer
