And when the next project is the @Psychedelic Pussy Dream.

That was literally 4 months ago, and yesterday she teased the visuals for the supposed lead single from Lasso.
Bullshit. Her streaming numbers are rising again and she's doing better than in April or March, for example.

Lana Del Rey's monthly streams on Spotify in 2024:

January — 742M
February — 729M
March — 675M
April — 700M
May — 707M

Total — 3.55B streams
Lana would never do that because of label pressure. She is Lana Del Rey and they literally let her release Blue Banisters.
And again. Quavo's songs are getting exactly 0 streams on Spotify, but Lana has been saying since 2017 that she wants to work with Migos.

One thing is for sure though: she’ll have to make a decision « soon » if she reevaluates Lasso: a MV has been shot for Tough, the song has been teased… whether it’s the lead for the album or a standalone single for the meantime. 

Thanks for the info! I admit I haven’t listened to her speech 
So I guess it could really be that she’s unsure about the album after all  anyways, I don’t mind the « delay » if we do end up with an incredible album in the end. But she should have kept the teasing (especially the snippets) to a minimum. 

I don’t think so considering I think it was in the Ivors speech that she specifically thanked Interscope for basically not giving a fuck or ever pressuring her and letting her do whatever she wants with her music, and everything about her output in the past decade about her seems to validate that
 
any label at this point would have understood that in the long run they’ll win more by just letting Lana do her thing

Can’t believe we’re still debating on if this is coming or not, pisses me off that when they talk to her about lasso they don’t ask the right question, like why don’t they mention one of these questions 
1- Lana is the upcoming album still called lasso?
2- Lana is lasso still coming this year?
3- Lana when can we expect the album announcement 
4- Lana when can we expect the first single?
5- and so on…..
 
If one of these questions is asked, it will literally tell us enough about the album 

I agree with most of what you said. The Henry teaser hinted at a folky song… and those don’t do well on Spotify for Lana. 
 
she had an incredibly successful year in 2023 (I mean, second most streamed female act, 10th overall)… the fact that she looked at Ben, with her « Oh God » comment, makes me think Interscope wants to try to have another very successful year for her, although 2024 is jammed-packed with new releases and returns by big pop acts (which explains her numbers going down). And like you said, « country pop » might not be the best way to have a big success on her hands. Hell, many of us here, on LB, are a bit mid with a country album. 
 
Her caption of this week’s post, quoting Fishtail, makes me wonder if it wasn’t some sort of shade towards her label… Billie is a big hit this year, with her album (which is clearly « Lana lineage », with sad girl shit) and she is too with Interscope… I wonder if her label didn’t ask her to go back to her « sad sound » of BTD or UV (which would be ironic AF: Interscope wasn’t very enthusiastic of UV in the first place). We’ll never know for sure, I guess 

She wouldn’t have released a 9 and a half minute long single in 2018 when the rest of the industry switched to making 2-minute tiktok hits if she was trying to top the charts, haha.

Her streams are actually really good for someone who hasn’t released anything major in over a year. She is already doing better than artists like Dua Lipa and Beyoncé who just released albums this year. She is only behind artists like Taylor, Ariana, and Billie who also just released albums and have major promo behind them. I also saw yesterday that she is the only female artist along with Taylor, Rihanna, and Beyonce to sell 1+ million albums units in the US this year. Even if she were doing poorly, Lana isn’t someone who cares about charts or streams so that shouldn’t impact any project she is working on. 

Lana has never been about topping the charts or releasing songs to break streaming records though…?

hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have – but I have it

I saw Lana yesterday, and she said that the lasso will be released on schedule. Calm down

anyway this is coming too soon 
tunnel is finally at its peak and she announces a new album LMAO but im super excited to see what she is doing with country because after years of teasing it, and its funny too because she says she is making this since 2019/2020 so it means after nfr, but she released 4 albums since then so im curious to know more about the process of the making of this album.
Good to remember that on the vogue interview that came out the same day of the SKIMS photoshot she said tunnel wasnt suppose to happen before she meet mike hermosa, so does that mean Lasso was supposed to be LDR9 but it was pushed back because of tunnel? Or was she making country songs for fun during 2019/2020/2021 but she felt more inspired during this summer so she decided to put it all in a body of work? 
HOPING LOVED YOU THEN AND NOW IS ON THE FINAL TAKES WBK

my wallet is so ready for everything 
 
also I wouldn't be surprised if Lasso is a placeholder, just like White Hot Forever and every other album she's released that had a title change 

Album that had the biggest change was UV imo, like a 180 degree one. I don't think it happens with Lasso but I do think that the tracklist changes with this one. But every Lana album had a concept and tracklist change, so this isn't really a new thing about her lol
