    inb4 the album cover is a polaroid of her leaning on a rusted truck parked at a gas station in the desert and behind her is a broken-down billboard that says "Lasso"

    I am so confused. The NME interview was very bizarre, and so was her "oh my god" reaction to that fan tonight, lol. Apparently, the project *exists* (Antonoff called it "brilliant"), but there's something about it that makes Lana hesitant and unsure. Has she changed her mind about the album's direction and sonic style, or is she unsure about the critical reception?
     
    - Last spring, Antonoff mentioned that he and Lana are delving into a creatively exciting and very strange place. It seemed that he was implying that they have been cooking something experimental. 
    - In September, Lana said that the next album would be more "Americana" with structurally and lyrically simpler songs compared to the more chaotic and excessively wordy Ocean tracks. 
    - The first time she mentioned that she's going "country" was during that show when she gave an award to Antonoff. She also implied that "Lasso" has been a passion project that she's been working for 4 years, and Antonoff even traveled around several places in the U.S. with her, in order to write and record new music. 
    - Lana worked with Quavo right after the Grammy's. 
    - During the NME interview, she mentioned that the new songs are "American songbook"-esque. But she also sounded quite unsure about the album, not necessarily in terms of its existence, but mostly in terms of what it might evolve into (artistically), or in terms of critical reception. 
     
    My two cents:
     
    When Lana (enthusiastically) mentioned that "Lasso" is a country album, she had her recent collaboration with Luke Laird in mind. She usually gets very excited whilst working on something very specific; remember her W Magazine interview that made us expect an album filled with "Fingertips"-esque tracks? - and it low-key colors her perspective, lol. So, while I do think that the "country" element will be there, I doubt that it's going to be *the* defining sound of the album, which might explain why she's gotten a bit hesitant when attempting to describe the album. "Americana" and "American songbooks" are different terms, that imply a much broader soundscape. Not to mention the Quavo collaboration and the "strange" stuff she's been working on with Antonoff (and who knows what else at this point), assuming all this stuff has been put together in one album. 
     
    Another explanation would be that she has changed the soundscape of the album dramatically. In fact, there might not be strong "country" elements at all. Her reaction to how "quiet" the room went when she announced the album is quite telling. Did she get cold feet? Does she feel that she might be misinterpreted as someone who's simply following the trend? Who knows. The fact that she mentioned that the songs are more "American songbook"-esque means that she probably hasn't cancelled the album yet, though. But the Quavo collaboration - and who knows what else? - and her recent looks could be an indication of a completely different approach.
     
    Which leads me to a different interpretation of what she's been implying so far: what if the album is not a "typical" country/Americana album, and it's a little bit bolder/experimental or simply not easily categorized and defined in terms of its sound and style? Perhaps Lana is scared of the reception; critics and fans might be expecting something more "classic" or specific in general, but we are not getting that at all. "Cowboy Carter" was well-received, but what if she feels that she might be misunderstood (once again)? The "not following the trends" is a valid explanation of her potentially scrapping or changing the project a lot, but it doesn't sound very plausible, IMO. Assuming that it's been a passion project and taking into consideration her knowledge of the fact that the industry is going "country", I doubt that she's simply cancelling the entire project. 
     
    I don't know what to expect at this point, lol. The latest IG post feels like a prelude of what's about to come in terms of the new era's aesthetics. It feels intensely contemporary and urban (the street/car photos), but also alluringly gothic, nostalgic and quite unsettling (the swamps, the trees, the diner etc.). This is a far cry from the generic "yeehaw" aesthetics, so maybe she's simply unsure about the overall reception to this potentially singular take on country/American songbooks/whatever's been on her mind lately? I think that the album is probably not coming in September - I'd say Spring 2025 is likelier -, because the album just keeps evolving into something stranger and more eclectic. The "Lust for Life" comparison might be apt: this could be a mixture of trap, experimental alternative, hip hop, country, and throwback Americana ballads. Or...maybe not! She's so random indeed...

    Rock and roll heavy metal baby

    Jupiter rising, dawn past daylight
     
    Hollywood Jesus my own faux comfort
    Crying in your arms when I'm hurt
    I have ten million questions
    With no ease by your divine interventions
    I want to fly 
    Beyond the veil where angels glide
    I want to understand
    Is there peace on the other side
    Is there peace on the other side
