❤️ I think she's kind of a Picasso in her kind of business, people only need time to realize 😅❤️

I'm so happy that in Lana I've found an artist I can appreciate any music she came and comes up with. Regarding the other artists I follow, I am like many people in their last posts here, so very critical, no matter if it's about voice, song interpretation, cohesiveness of the album, style... But for Lana, I can find fresh, innovative, genius like, super creative and inspiring elements in all her albums and always love how she uses her voice, no matter if it's on BTD or OB. I especially love how different every album is and that she dares to do things many wouldn't dare to (like putting voice memos on a proper album record) - it never gets boring to follow her and with every listening I discover something new in her music. But that's also because of my perspective on her as a creative genius, that I can appreciate her projects this way. Sometimes it takes a moment to understand what makes the work special, but sooner or later I'll find it always, because I'm looking for it, knowing it's there. That's something I miss from most artists. Just wanted to share this thought, maybe some might rediscover something in her creative work, just to enjoy it more again and look forward to the next project without too much fear. :-)

But Ocean Boulevard is such a masterpiece to me. It became my favorite album recently. ❤️ Really curious and looking forward to her next work, whatever it will be. By now I think she just cannot disappoint me 😅 I only hope that photo she posted is another picsart accident, just like the BB one 🤣 as much as I love her albums regarding the sound, her album covers are not getting the same amount of appreciation from me 🙈

Omg, immediately knew the photographer is Meisel when I saw the pics. He's always been one of my favorite photographers, so great he captured Lana now 😍 I only hope there are more photos inside than only 3. The cover is so fantastic. She looks like a mixture of various Hollywood stars, including some Hitchcock ladies ❤️

Same here. Bought it in 2021 for 110 EUR and one of the art cards was actually signed... That price they ask for is really "tough" Btw, if they offered it for 50 EUR, it would sell out immediately and the scalpers would sell it for 150 on ebay etc. So somehow, the 150 EUR make sense. At least she's not feeding the scalpers, as it's too risky for them to buy and resell. Difference/income not big enough. 😅

To be honest, I hope she didn't release these fan favorites because there'll be a tension III. Tracks like running, original hello and Vegas baby wouldn't have fitted well into this record.

It's crazy, I prefer it over tension I because it's much more cohesive, but I can't say I really love a single song of it (except Midnight Ride, but I love that cause of Orville Peck, became a fan of him by it) 😂 Saying that as a huge Kylie fan. Funny thing is that Tension would be my favorite album by her if it was compiled of padam, tension, story, running, Vegas baby, Vegas high and a few others. But not that crazy mix of tension I. That's what I like about it, but I think she let her best material unreleased still. Hoping for a tension III. Stars in our eyes sounds 100% like a golden track for me. Love it, but it's in my "Golden" Playlist. "More thaNn a feeling" is in my "Vegas high" Playlist, which is my own version of tension. "Hello" on tension II seems totally different from tje unreleased version. No idea which song that one familiar part of it is taken from.

If you search the Lana Fandom wiki for "water", you might find some information, too https://lanadelrey.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Search?query=Water&scope=internal I wonder if there are many scholars articles? I guess you might find information in interviews though.

I really liked the question about items people want back. 😁 Not sure we can take it as a sign for LASSO though.

Omg I think that could be awesome. Totally new version for sure I guess though I will love anything Dolly Parton related 😁

I'm wondering lots of people here wonder. You surely already heard of a "genie in a bottle" I guess? Most might also know the Aladdine movies!? That blue creature is called a genie (just various ways how to write on Latin letters), even though this kind of genie might be a bit different from the original meaning. But I guess the "insider" had indeed this wish-offering kind of genies in mind. I kept on repeating this but people don't listen/read 😅

A pity though we weren't allowed our 3 wishes. "Lasso now!" 😅 That genie wasn't very omnipotent unfortunately. Btw, as I said before, no one knows "Henry come on" is a song title and not just a line from the lyrics, so even if the genie-jinn is right that no song of this name is listed, it doesn't mean the song you want has been scrapped. Might just have another title. And the genie heard only 3 songs, not all. (3 songs heard instead of offering three wishes...!? 🤔😅)

Thanks, that's what I had in mind, too. So it could be a line only. So those believing in Jinns can still hope for Henry. 😉

Are we sure btw that "Henry, Come On" is a song title? Couldn't it be simply a line from the lyrics? ... Wouldn't a Dolly Parton collaboration be a "WTF moment"? 😅 Might be at least for people who didn't see the pics of them together.

Does anyone know why the vinyl for Stampede is so extremely expensive? Does it come with a box or why?

Red would just still be alive and the dead body killed by the bull was just someone else. Then he'd be back and the Blacklist would never end. 😁 Any other fans of The Blacklist over here?

Where did this info with July 30 come from btw? Did someone see it in the website code? Could be another random 7" picture disc, too, btw. Old unreleased track (was there something trending on TikTok recently?) on it or "country roads". Or a "tough" picture disc or cassette. 😁😅🙈

I sometimes think it would be helpful if we had two threads for the new album - one being a facts thread and one being a speculation and wishes thread. It's really hard to keep up, like, for example, suddenly there are 20 posts about greatest hits, so I read 2 pages of posts back to see what it is about (just to find out it was an idea). The answer to the question about why this thread is hot (Henry is coming) was a joke I guess? 😅 Nice, but without a smiley hard to get without checking the last posts of 2 pages to see if there is indeed anything about it. To sum it up: Thing is you always see it's hot, you get excited, you even see posts talking about "news" which are actually either speculations, wishes or jokes, but you need to read between 2 to 20 pages to find out. It's disappointing (because it wasn't a fact) and it's getting tiring. Maybe two threads could be a solution? 😊

The vinyl for "say yes to heaven" was pretty crazy, too 😅🙈

Looks like the vinyl mock up is wrong, it says "... Ativa" on the label

"Please note that each vinyl is unique and the colours may appear slightly different from the image displayed." Maybe it has a marble effect or something?

Many of these are my favorite songs by her! It's difficult to compare though - maybe you might enjoy "the American Recordings" by Johnny Cash? A few songs by Nick Cave got a similar vibe, too, but I'm not good remembering single songs by him. I quite like his albums "push the sky away" and "teenage ghost", but the instrumentation is not too folky there. Also Kylie Minogue's compilation album "Hits+" comes into my mind. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hits_%2B it includes songs from her album "impossible princess" and "Kylie Minogue", but also several outtakes which remind me a lot of these Lana songs you've mentioned. Also a duet with Nick Cave. Maybe also Ryan Bingham's current EP "watch out for the wolf".

"horrendous" means it is highly likely to be true 😅 remember the BB picsart covers... Besides, the Neil Krug pics are not really HQ looking either usually. It's her style.

I'm not, I really appreciate his work, no matter if working with Lana or not. To me, they are a great combination for good music. 😊 I'm not really bothered by the silence. Especially as currently it's finally in fashion again to start pre-sales in time. Many preorders by big artists start 1 or 2 months before release date, with lead single or not, so there's still time, even for a September release.

Had to get that amazing golden Bronco RSD vinyl. Can't wait for the post, lol. Btw, for those who like his voice and music style - listening to him I feel reminded of one of my favorite singers, Danny Vera. He's also got that Cash-Presley mixture of sound, but with more retro vibes ❤️
