    At this point, we’ll get new Rob tracks featuring Lana than tracks from TRPWS

    two things:
     
    1. I want Fenway Park Intro to be one of trpws singles 🫢 would be a great second single  
    2. I would love to see Lana perform on SNL 50(even tho she refused yet would be an amazing cameo) or future performances, even though they are still at odds with each other and she turned down the offer... it would be ICONIC for her to go back there and probably perform some TRPWS songs and if she was more ironic, perform blue jeans again 
    I'll just be dreaming about her there singing some TRPWS song 🫤

    yes, unfortunetly she refused but I wanted to say generally or future performances.... I would love to see Lana on SNL again but I think that's impossible....

    And let's not forget Ann Powers writing about how Lana should or must feel and think on any number of issues as a woman and female. Otherwise, Powers implied, you're out of the girls' club, you're foolish, you're a puppet of male influence, a manipulated media creation, retrogressive, etc. 
     
    Here's one Powers snippet from the NFR! era: 
     
    "Lana Del Rey is all about wrong combinations: sunset dreams and dirty water, Mexican-American braids and a wetsuit, hip-hop flow and torch song feeling, conventional feminine submissiveness and post-feminist self-possession. Cognitive dissonance is the essence of her art, the way she builds her dream logic...The tone of her voice as she uttered these words [in Video Games] was forever after labeled "sad," but was really something different. My mom would have called it "needy"; today, more common descriptions are "disempowered," "self-sabotaging," "unwoke.""
     
    Kim Gordon, the respected co-founder of Sonic Youth, also came out against Lana for being retrogressive and backward. "The Sonic Youth founder says: “Today we have someone like Lana Del Rey … who believes women can do whatever they want, which, in her world, tilts toward self-destruction, whether it’s sleeping with gross old men or getting gang raped by bikers. Equal pay and equal rights would be nice.”
     
    I say, let Lana be.
     
    People have a perfect right to like her, love her, dislike her, or dislike who they perceive her to be even if they continue to like her music, and say so, as all of us do about any performer or anything at all. If Lana is anti-feminist, then she has that right (though I don't think she is).
     
    Politically and culturally liberal artists (and cultural institutions themselves) like Joan Baez, Patti Smith, Stevie Nicks, Courtney Love, and Bruce Springsteen--would hardly support Lana is she was the way the media has painted her. I note most or all of them believe in the relativity of belief and the depth and complexity of individuals.
     
    What's fascist is to say, "You must think this way about feminism," "you must believe as I do about Marxism, Wokism, or MAGA-ism," "there's only one way to think about _______," etc.   
     
    We'll see what the lyrics and album concept of TRPWS will add to this ongoing conversation and debate.

    No more than any of us would.
     
    We know little to nothing about their relationship, we don't know Jeremy, and we don't know Lana either. It's none of our business.
     
    'Facts,' suppositions, and opinions about her political beliefs have varied widely over the last decade or so, largely based on brief sound bytes like 'I don't find feminism a very interesting idea,' or whatever her exact wording was.
     
    She wrote at least one song against Trump during the his first administration--When the World Was At War--and the other political songs from LFL were dropped. 
     
    Based on what we know or think we know, we can stop stanning her or drop her completely if we want to. We have choices. 
     
    TRPWS is, I think, unlikely to have any direct political content.

    she’s been making music since 2005/2006 too so it’s been almost 2 decades of creative output from her…sirens to aka lizzy grant, all the unreleased songs from every era and in between every era. idk any artist like her. 
  9. luckypartyoftwo liked a post in a topic by Vertimus in The Right Person Will Stay - Pre-Release Thread (OUT: May 21st, 2025)   
    And many artists don't even creatively last 10 years--they fizzle quickly.
     
    Lana's output has been of extraordinarily high quality. She's never released a purely bad album (knockwood) like so many other reputable contemporary artists have. I may not care much for OB, but I can't objectively say it's a bad album.

    I feel like yall are forgetting she’s a human, and not a song writing machine. 
     
    yes, this is the longest wait we’ve ever had,  but she literally just got married like 6 months ago, and has been pretty open about the fact that she’s been creatively blocked. She’s been mentioning being uninspired since post NFR, so getting 3 albums since then is quite impressive. 
     
    I get that it’s partly her fault for announcing new music so soon, but life can/will/did get in the way, and that’s fine!!!
     
    she’s released 9 albums in 10 years, which is more than some artists have released in 20, and the way some of you talk you would think she hasn’t released music in 5 years, when it’s been barely 2 since Ocean, and we’ve gotten performances/singles since then. 
     
    Let the woman cook and live her life!

    Wait, where did post these?
     
    They look like Neil Krug's shots.
     
    All we need is Lana back in her Paradise-era white bikini looking smoking hot among the alligators, and that's the cover.

    She usually has at least one print interview during the promo cycle discussing the album. March editions are already going out this month. Maybe we’ll get an interview in March highlighting Stagecoach and where the album stands now.

    I think she's doing the laundry, then walking to the mall and stopping by the children's school for coffee. Then she's just watching tv.

    I don't mind being proven wrong but this is taking it to extremes...

    There is nothing in Baldoni’s case that concretely refutes sexual harassment in the way that Blake described. It’s just designed to make Blake look like a cringey and imperfect victim. 
     
    Like @jealous girl (tags don’t work) said, I don’t mind being proven wrong in the end, but as of right now, I see no reason to not trust Blake’s accounting of the events.
