I hope so. It’d be my pee break when I’m listening to it on vinyl 

I don't see an album dropping until April at the earliest. This is just my *personal opinion* but I think she is in the middle of -- and this album will serve to be a bit of -- a reinvention. She reached several more career peaks in 2024 and her fame is at an all time high. Other than the recent BF drama she seems pretty carefree and to be having a ton of fun with her career / in life. She got a lot off her chest with COCC, BB and OB and this new era could be a great chance for her to lean into something completely new. Kind of like when she took on the role as a baddie poet in between LFL and NFR. She should take her time with visuals and let the era breathe. If she hadn't said anything in February we wouldn't even know about Lasso. Until we get an official first single (praying it wasn't Tough) I don't think we've really kicked off the new album era. Hopefully it begins this month or October with single #1 and we can finally get a glimpse of her vision for where she wants to go next. 

I don’t think it’s even been sent for mastering/pressing onto physical media. There’s no way it’s coming before Q2 2025 imo. And I’m sure when someone asks her about why it’s delayed she’ll be annoyed, as if she didn’t say “out in September” 🙃

That makes the most sense. I imagine her version of a country album will be heavy on Americana themes, visuals & nostalgia and it probably wouldn’t have the same impact released around the election. The Hollywood Reporter put out an article yesterday stating studios wont be releasing movies around Election Day because it’s expected to be a shit show so I wouldn’t be surprised if the music industry is following suit. 

If Ride is country then pink champagne is also country. That’s a good sign then

I would be surprised if there are two singles released this year. I won’t believe it until I see them actually released. 

Ok here's the thing. Lana will be 39 when she releases this album and Madonna released Ray of Light when she was 39. Maybe her magnum opus is coming 

It’s the standout of the two she sang at that Coalition Event. Hey Blue Baby has a nice chorus and an outstanding bridge but the verses are a bit meh 🫤 
a studio version of Stupid for Being so Happy could be incredible 

I Must Be Stupid For Being So Happy the classic you are... hope you're on Lasso

Imagine a song with production like the Paradise Tour version of Cola…that slightly twangy guitar would be an insane way to open up a Lana Del Rey country album 

I like the fact that despite her successes at Coechella she  does not seek to impose her name wholesale in this field which is relatively new to her.
she goes back to the fight

I actually quite enjoyed Country Roads, it was a cute little droplet but don’t need it on an album or anything 

I agree with all of this though I would just like to point out as the resident CLove Expert  that Courtney was joking when she said she unstanned over that cover. In the original context it was clearly not serious, though she is a huge John Denver stan so it would not surprise me if she didn't care for the cover. She praised Lana not once but three times in Courtney Love's Women her BBC6 podcast which premiered around the same time in April (And is amazing. 10 hours long and worth every second. Even if you can't stand CLove its an excellent history of woman in music and an excellent playlist.)  She said she cut back on listening to Lana bc she finds her too inspiring and she is presently working on the longest album in rock and roll history with Video Games producer  among others. Wants to differentiate from one specific muse. 
 
That said, I FOR ONE DID NOT LIKE COUNTRY ROADS.  Its fine a thing covers should never be. Brilliant or bad. It should always add to, recontextualise, or highlight the quality of the original. Covers are a conversation and the CR cover did not have anything to say IMO

What I need from Lasso next year:
- Jimmy Gnecco as an interlude 
- Dolly Parton, Nikki Lane, and Holly Macve as the sole features on this album (not no man jk)
- Velvet Crowbar needs to be on this album idc
- An ambience/soundscape on songs, I need to feel immersed in this album
- Lana's old singing style (dark and heavy vocals and different funky cadences)
- Pawn Shop Blues, Fine China, My Momma ON THIS ALBUM PLEASE
- This album better be over 12 tracks; I don't want another Chemtrails. At least 13 tracks, aiming for 15 tracks
- Linda Ronstadt cover on this album, she should do 'Long Long Time' or 'Blue Bayou'
- Like Beyoncé's album, even if the sound isn't country, I need the lyrics to evoke country themes 
- She should sample other songs from her discography like she did some songs on Ocean Blvd
- VOCALS PLEASE, love Lana to literal death, but lately the vocals on her songs aren't hitting as they use to. So, I need some songs on this album to show her haters she can really sing
- Hey Blue Baby, PGICM, IMBSFBH, Stand By Your Man needs to be on this album, the ones she showcased in 2018 and 2022
- Dark americana country, with southern gothic elements, but I would really appreciate different experimental sounds on this album (ex. country trap/hip-hop)
- Don't expect the setlist to change after this album drops but she needs to put many songs from this album on the setlist, as well as more Blue Banisters and Chemtrails songs because those give the vibe for Lasso
- I NEED THIS ERA TO REMIND ME OF HER PAST!! Lately, ever since NFR!, Lana's era for her last three albums haven't been giving anything really. Ocean Blvd had fantastic photoshoots, and her tour has been really good. But I need more than that. Promote the hell out of this album until it becomes annoying. Do a proper album lineup (announcement - lead single - album announcement - second single - album teaser - album trailer - third single - album drop). Also, the music videos and photoshoots need to evoke COUNTRY COUNTRY COUNTRYY! Need horses, beers, haystacks, cowboy boots, farms, barns, wildlife, everything of such in this era. I want to be fully immersed in the country experience. And then after the album drops, interviews too. I know Lana doesn't do interviews anymore like that, but one or two is perfectly fine. I feel like the album won't do well if she doesn't promote her album. I know country is a popular genre, especially nowadays, but that doesn't mean it won't flop. Lana's fan isn't super big on country, as I've been seeing all over X and other platforms. So, she needs to promote it well to intrigue her fans, and those outside her fanbase. 
 
If Lana does this right, with a correct album lineup and features, I can see this being NFR! era, or at LEAST, Lust For Life era like. Where Lana was active and people like the album for the most part. She needs to have the right features on this album if any. Bring old country artists that everyone knows or love and introduce new country artists to the game. Or even non-country artists too! We saw that with Quavo, how Quavo fans boosted Lana's popularity more, and they began listening to other projects/singles by her. I love Lana Del Rey, and her music and hopefully she does this properly. If she does, I just know this album will be album of the year during of 2025 at the Grammy's. And if not, I'm sure in due time the album will have over 1.2 million streams.
 
All love and Lana won't see this probably or even care but yeah, I'm just bored LOL xo

But truthfully, when I'm in the middle of making a record - especially now, when the world is in the middle of such a tumultuous period - I find I really need to take the space for myself, far away from real life to consider what my contribution to the world should be in these dark times.

So each morning I have the luxury of asking myself, "What shall I cook up for the kids today? Something with a little spice? Something with a little bitterness but is ultimately sweet? Or shall I take the day off and turn down the fire, and just take a moment to send my love to them over the ether?"
