i REALLY want her to take big swing, do something really unexpected and new. i haven't loved any of her records since froot, and imo the last one had some great melodies but also re-tread a lot of what made TFJ and froot great. would love her to work w some producers who really push her to experiment with moodier synths, more complex beats, and a return to imagistic storytelling rather than didactic social critique. or maybe even strip it waaaay down to more folk-type production– whatever, just something NEW that puts her talent for melodies and gorgeous voice to use in unexpected ways.

We NEED Greg Kurstin, Rick Nowels, Liam Howe and Biff Stannard for an album, I think the outcome would be interesting (yes ik they worked together before but i think they really did some great work with her)

If she was going for a more LF 'clean cut' sound, bring back all the producers from 2016-2017 because the demos and outtakes...should've released them

Pretty much same! 

I loved a lot of the production choices on ADIAML (probably because it reminded me of TFJ) but the lyricism really didn’t do it for me 

 

Froot (and even electra) had really pretty lyricism and I need it back so bad 

I agree with the lyricism tbh. Although the breakup songs ate hardcore. I just think her overly political lyrics are a bit...idk? I just think it's cause I know she can write better and write about better topics

I think this tracklist makes a real cohesive album that captures the spirit of the 70's as well as modern times both politically and sonically. With that hazy summer / free spirit vibe that flows throughout.

 

01. Love

02. Lust For Life (ft. The Weeknd)

03. Cherry

04. Groupie Love (ft. A$AP Rocky)

05. Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind

06. God Bless America - And All The Beautiful Women In It

07. Tomorrow Never Came (ft. Sean Ono Lennon)

08. Yosemite

09. When The World Was At War We Kept Dancing

10. Heroin

11. Change

12. Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems (ft. Stevie Nicks)

13. Get Free

honestly my biggest turn off for the album is the fact it has 4 features, idk i just hate features for some reason

At this point I want it to be released basically

Spilled, even if it's just unleaked tracks at this point I can't.

I imagine the songs that were on the 2016 version were:

 

13 Beaches

Best American Record (demo)

Cherry

Heroin

Malibu

Lust For Life (demo)

Tomorrow Never Came (demo)

Yosemite

Young And In Love

 

I think the record then started to shift into a more political direction with songs like God Bless America, WTWWAWWKD being recorded? I imagine it's around this time we got Beautiful People (LFL version) starting to form. There are some other political songs that we know exist that potentially were recorded around this time too.

 

It's at this point I feel like Stevie and Sean were added to the album as features? As well as Get Free being finalised.

 

Then I imagine Lust For Life (solo final), So Good and Groupie Love (demo) came around at a similar time? Lana was starting to bring in hip hop elements to the record, which had previously been described as witchy / folky. Maybe also the start of her including hip-hop artists? The Weeknd and A$AP Rocky. There's also a 3rd A$AP collab that was scrapped that could be from around this time.

 

Summer Bummer (with A$AP), White Mustang and In My Feelings feel like last minute additions. Dipping into that trap sound whilst referencing the G Eazy breakup. Also adding Playboi Carti to Summer Bummer.

 

We know Coachella and Change were both recorded quite late into the album process (after title announcement and Love release). Change being the last song recorded?

 

This is all speculation but who knows.

trap sound and the reworks ruined the album imo, like LFL and American Record demos were so good? I'm not a massive fan so that might be why i don't really like the album version (of LFL) but lana girly...what happened

BOZ: 'This is something I'd gladly discuss, but it would be mostly speculations mixed with facts.

Rich Lee was commissioned to direct music videos for 2 first singles of LFL - Love and The Next Best American Record. Love was obviously done first and sometime in late 2016/early 2017, before BAR video was recorded, someone must have either hacked or scammed Rich obtaining Love music video as well as reference audio for the BAR music video. This led to both spreading and leaking causing massive drama behind the scenes and ultimately scrapping BAR as a whole. We are "lucky" they only leaked this late, cause who knows if that happened earlier Lana might have never recorded the MV at all.

There is however the other side/reason to it that might be even stronger imo. The original TNBAR version is clearly shady and putting a lot of guilt on Barrie for the fall of their relationship. I feel like later at that time she came to realization that she might have been too hard on him - or even more, perhaps they happened to meet/talk and become friends on good terms again. The BAR video was built fully around the lyrics of the demo so when she realized she definitely wouldn't release that song without changing its narrative, the music video must be discarded. Since it was a really good visual that Lana loved and it would be a waste to just scrap it, they reused it for White Mustang. But yes, the full video was ready to be put out for The Next Best American Record.

This also might be one of the reasons for other LFL tracklist changes, but I don't know that'.

OOP he came in with the good tea

pls Best american record is her top3 from the whole discography and tnbar is her worst released song because that reworked chorus made song happy, when it wasnt supposed to be so, and it killed all vibe, it shouldve been released as Best american record in lfl or not being released at all, even tho after boz explained why she actually changed chorus i at least understand why she reworked it and like it a little more

someone share the boz tea please

tbh now im most interested in lfl 2016 tracklist the one when best american record and love were first singles and when it called best american record

pls tell me im not the only one who thinks best american record lfl version outsold the nfr version 

Hola, previous lurker here. What do you wanna see for her 6th Album?  Personally, I want something inspired by FROOT lyrically but reminiscent of TFJ and ADIAML sonically? Low-key scared she'll make an LF 2.0 though
