somebody should tell her she signed up for Primavera Porto too lmao

I feel so proud for not jumping the gun with Barcelona or Porto now that this has been announced, my frontal cortex did its job for once

Yeah interesting huh? But I get it these songs really are on another level... Lana has 5 songs on the reader-voted top 50 songs list (A&W and title track besides these three), the most of any artist.

Interesting that it’s billed as her only performance in France this summer

In fact you were right!!!!!! Special concert from Lana was just announced for Wednesday the 21th of August!!!!! Presale sign-up is now live until Sunday at midnight, the presale will start Monday at 10 am.

If Lana doesn't take best alternative album I definitely want it to go to her. I must say I hadn't heard anything from her before but I recently listened to "I Inside The Old Year Dying" after seeing it on so many year-end lists and I have to say I really really enjoyed the album. I understand it's quite different from her past work but I'm still excited to check out more of her back catalogue.

I slept on it too until very recently but Dance Till We Die

Wildflower Wildfire too... easily a top ten in her discography for me

Yess, Change is a big favourite of mine!! I think the message of the song and the way she conveys her emotion about it is really special

Ocean Blvd title track............ when I catch y'all

her calling rep goth-punk is sooooo funny like ok girl..... if you say so

welll whatever she's up to I snagged myself a ticket for the tour next summer in the presale today so let's hope it's sth good

idk whether I'm more invested in Ocean Blvd winning or them losing atp

Though the title would go on to inspire many jokes about its lengthiness, Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd is a massive creative triumph for one Elizabeth Grant. She and superproducer Jack Antonoff hit their stride as partners on this Grammy AOTY-nominated project, with the alt-pop titan mustering some of her most vulnerable and thoughtful lyrics ever while somehow managing to maintain her trademark campiness throughout (see: that perplexing four-minute spoken interlude from pastor Judah Smith). While her earlier work gives way to more dramatic proclamations and aesthetics, Ocean Blvd takes a softer, more introspective approach to Lana’s longtime muse — Americana — that’s achingly feminine, full of yearning, and underscored by clever references to male figureheads such as Leonard Cohen, John Denver and Bob Dylan. What a weird review blurb this is from Billboard lmfao tell me you didn't understand the album at all without telling me you didn't understand the album at all... Judah Smith interlude being her trademark campiness like WHAT

Tbh it is pretty surprising to me. Ocean Blvd has its idiosyncrasies but I think it should be clear to anyone, especially someone calling themselves a music critic, that this album is not only a new height in Lana’s own career, but conceptually something few if any current musicians would be capable of envisioning let alone executing. You can like the music or not and I don’t care if some magazine ranks the album lower or higher, but in my opinion not even including Ocean Blvd in a Top 50 albums of 2023 list shows a complete misunderstanding of the current music landscape and what art is fundamentally.

I'm getting my hopes wayyyy too up for the Grammys now these lists need to stop I really can't handle this

my dad reads The Guardian religiously betting a hundred dollars he's going to text me that article tomorrow morning.... he really didn't get Lana from the few songs I showed him in the past but imagine if he decides to listen to A&W because of this list lmaoo the shock he will be in for

live footage of me trying to get obsessed with Mitski and PJ Harvey so I can justify traveling all the way to Portugal for this

I'll never get tired of seeing her post and talk openly about the respect and acclaim she's getting, she really deserves to be so proud of herself

oh ok huge neon pink lyrics on the story and everything she is NOT playing

“I’m tired now,” Del Rey admits. “So keeping it simple is probably the way that it’s going to go. I dug around a lot writing this [album] and don’t think I have to go there again.” As such, she has plans to write an album of standards — classic, simple songs that could reach even more people than she does now. Tbh call me delusional but I don't necessarily think "keeping it simple" has to mean the country/covers schtick, the interviewer is kind of paraphrasing her at that point, right? The last tracks of Ocean Blvd already kind of showed this transition out of some of the heaviest work of her career into lyrically much simpler / lighter songs with more experimental modern production - I don't think it's out of the question for her to go more in that direction next either

Tulsa Jesus Freak vs Cinnamon Girl

that was such a cute update post <3

well ok maybe not zero question... I forgot I literally got a tattoo from Ocean Blvd title track soo it might have to go that one lmao

A&W zero question
