Dark City

watch us get two laptop demos and a snippet

Well there is that track list written of the notepad😭 I just consider that the tracklist lol

How are they gonna leak the rest of an album that never actually existed? 

Only 175 more days till Leakmas

pretty sure they were working on "Wait for Life" here, considering the dates and the fact that they're all involved in that song. I truly hope they worked on something else as well!

I need someone to go ahead and leak the rest of Tropico so I can get a custom vinyl made 

Style-wise, sounds too rock for her, but I've never heard AI vocals being this nuanced. Idk, it's strange. I wouldn't totally discard it tbh.

So this is not meant as a "create a tracklist with whatever songs you like". I'm planning a little fun graphic and audio design project where I want to put a BTD album together that is more 1.0 (if you consider the final album to be a 2.0 or whatever else). The idea comes from the various scrapped tracks we know where on the album at one point plus the scrapped album titles.
 
I want you to help me create a somewhat realistic tracklist as the base for the project. So scrapping Blue Jeans and Videogames doesn't make much sense to give you an example. Which final tracks, which scrapped or demo tracks do you think could have been on a former version of the album? Back when titles like "The Revenge of Lana Del Rey" and "Do U Luv Me Yet?" where actual possibilities and where her sound was a bit more pop. Tracks like Driving in Cars or Serial Killer come to mind. Pls keep in mind that leaked tracks must be in decent quality and sound production. 
 
Lmdr_Covers and Trash Magic have created tracklists before. Maybe as an inspiration I will post theirs here:
 
LMDR_COVERS - "The Revenge Of Lana Del Rey"
 
Roses / Kinda Outta Luck / National Anthem / You Can Be The Boss / Off To The Races / Serial Killer / Us Against The World / On Our Way / Caught You Boy / Diet Mnt Dew / Million Dollar Man / Videogames
 
TRASH MAGIC - "Do U Luv Me Yet?"
 
Prom Song / Us Against The World / Serial Killer / Put The Radio On / National Anthem / Million Dollar Man / Backfire / Velvet Crowbar / Last Girl On Earth / Videogames / TV In Black And White / On Our Way

OH MY GOD!! This needs to become a real thing. I'm obsessed with that color  You are so talented! Keep it up!

thanks to @YourGirl666for the og thread!! and thanks everyone for the praise on this one  it was fun to make and hope you all enjoy!! 

I shared it here to get opinions so I'm very grateful for the feedback! I feel the same about Lolita how you feel about TIWMUG so I would also want it on any tracklist.
 
I chose that BTD demo because it's more stripped back and you can clearly hear the more "cheap" synthesizers they used instead of a proper orchestra. And this very homemade sound to this idea of creating something orchestral directly connects to the idea of an early BTD album and the sound of Video Games (where you can hear that the drums, harps and shit are all basically Garageband like).
 
I thought about doing something for UV, but I feel that there is not enough background knowledge compared to BTD. We literally only know that she reworked everything with Auerbach, that she took Black Beauty of the standard track list because of the leak and a few scrapped tracks like you mentioned. But let's see.... I might be onto something....

Thanks so much for your feedback! I really appreciate it!
 
I guess I could never exchange Lolita, as the demo version is probably my favorite thing about the record haha. I'm defo with you that Go Go Dancer is the weakest link in the tracklist but SS is not really a good alternative as the track always feels very "late 2011" basically. And I wanted to go for an early BTD sound, you know what I mean?
 
TIWMUG was actually on the tracklist and it does fit the sound way better than MDM buuuut.... I'm just too biased because I was never a big fan of TIWMUG. 
 
Do you actually like demo 3 of BTD? I think it sounds kinda weird :/
 
 
Haha she never would. She'd rather redo something old and put it on a new record.

Well… in the spirit of Halloween… The Other Side is a Rick Nowels UV outtake
dont know much else about it!

THANK YOUUU OMG IVE BEEN DYING TO KNOW THIS
BOZ said a long time ago it wasn’t worked on when it was on the tracklist, correct me if i’m wrong

I have a huge soft spot for this song. One of my fav “Tropico” leaks tbh

I've been enjoying the Tropico/early UV songs so much lately, and this is a very nice rework of I Don't Wanna Go. I love both versions

That part wasn’t true but it felt good to yell and good to hear a little sigh

The way I just found out F^cked My Way was produced by Emile & Dan Heath. 
 
Interesting.

• LANA DEL REY - ROCK CANDY SWEET •

 
~It was March 20, 2021. I woke up and saw in Instagram stories how Lana Del Rey wants revenge and promises to release an album called Rock Candy Sweet on June 1. I was so shocked and excited about that. I really loved COTCC album and I already had thoughts about the album: the sound, visuals, themes. I knew that I had to do an edit. Thinking that it's sad how misunderstood Lana is in the music industry, I started to find historical connections about it. And my first thought was Marie Antoinette. I think she was really misunderstood then but I'm not really a historian nor a French citizen, so I don't really know thoroughly about her, I have only learned about the French Revolution. Well, I found this photo of painting of Marie Antoinette and I knew that Lana's eyes from the infamous she/her car selfie (which was also the initial album cover for Rock Candy Sweet) would fit for my album cover edit. So my idea about Rock Candy Sweet's theme was that Lana's telling her story through her eyes, but she tells it like Marie Antoinette (I know, it's cringe ). I put a pink filter over it because it was my vision of Rock Candy Sweet's album color scheme. Made that edit on that same day she announced the album, made in like 10 minutes. It was a really quick edit though. I used to be very proud of it but now I find it really cheap and kinda dumb lol...but here it is!
 
~This edit without the text and this edit without the pink filter and text together are in the spoilers.
 
~I put the tracklist in the spoilers too. It's even more horrendous, I "mixed" this cover art and Neil Krug's photo of pink rocky cliff together and I put some of her random Instagram captions and some of her recently made then unleaked unrelessed songs. Well...some of them came true! 😏
 
~After, in April 2021, when she changed the album name to Blue Banisters, I was kind of disappointed because I found Rock Candy Sweet really badass name but then I just changed the edit by switched the color filter and the title.

That Miss America one was done by you?
I love these (:

PINK GERANIUMS (2022)
Pink Geraniums is album mixing retro-futuristic flair. It combines hip-hop, trip-hop and R&B vibes with electronic sounds, synths, drums, percussion, muddy trap beats with some sprinkle of psychedelia, desert rock, neo-soul aura. It will have also some dreamy, ambienty touch with grain of piano. Mixture 80s/90s retro/vintage vibes with futuristism is giving great pleasure during listening. That made this album is not only critically acclaimed (91 on MC) but is fan favourite also.
Album is produced by Mike Dean, Kevin Parker, Jeff Bhasker, Emile Haynie, Arca, Kaytranda, Steven Martens, Tim Larcombe, Jack Antonoff.
Cover was made by Neil Krug (in reality by me)
 


 

This needs to happen  Lana really needs to release 10th anniversary edition of Honeymoon with atleast 10 unreleased tracks  She should pull a Taylor Swift and rerelease all her albums with 10 to 15 unreleased tracks per album
