cause they clearly forget to take their meds 

Well would this be for Taylor or Lana’s album ? Probably fake but still. 

I mean…

It’s better for your own sanity to accept that all of these so called twitter insiders rely very heavily on pattern recognition. 
 
she booked Stagecoach and Europe tour dates so it’s safe to assume she’s probably going to announce some more later. But, nobody knows, that’s why they keep saying “it’s been delayed” over and over again until it’s obvious she isn’t doing more and then they can say “plans fell through!”
 
exact same thing with the album. We’re 3 months away; and it’s very obvious it isn’t coming on time, because Lana’s label do at least a minimum of 3 months of preorder to get as many sales as possible, so it’s very easy for twitter insiders to have “””exclusive info””” that it’s not coming, because duh of course it isn’t 

I see where you’re coming from regarding the distinction between traditional country and contemporary country pop, but I think the argument is a bit oversimplified. Country music has never been a static genre, it has always evolved through cross-pollination with other styles. What we consider “pure country” from 70 years ago was, at the time, a product of its own influences, including blues, folk, and even early jazz elements. Even in the 1950s, artists like Patsy Cline and Jim Reeves were pushing country toward a more polished, pop-influenced sound, much like how country pop functions today.
 
The idea that “real” country music is solely tied to 18th and 19th century settlers is also a bit limiting. While those influences are undeniably a foundation, country music also owes a huge debt to Black American musical traditions, such as blues and gospel which shaped its instrumentation and vocal styles. Appalachian folk music, for example, would not exist without these contributions.
 
As for modern country pop, while it certainly leans heavily on radio-friendly hooks, dismissing it as a “bastardization” of country rather than a continuation of its evolution ignores how every era of country music has been shaped by commercial and mainstream appeal. Artists like Kacey Musgraves, Orville Peck, and Sturgill Simpson blend traditional country elements with contemporary production while still maintaining lyrical depth and authenticity.
 
Lana’s understanding of country seems to align with its storytelling tradition, which has always been central to the genre, whether in classic country, outlaw country, or modern country pop. Songs like Ride and Video Games do have similarities to country storytelling, especially in their focus on longing, nostalgia, and emotional sincerity. Country is more than just a sound; it’s also about narrative and sentiment, which Lana has always excelled at.
 
Ultimately, genres shift and change, and what we define as “real” country is subjective. If Lana’s take on country ends up being more traditional, great! If it blends elements of pop, rock, or folk, that wouldn’t necessarily make it any less valid as a country project, it would just be another footmark in the genre’s ongoing evolution.

One Woman's Trash Is Another Woman's Treasure

praying for no collab with Taylor/Nikki 

Well yes!

If I'm not wrong, didn't you write an entire essay last month how you unstanned her and stuff? Then why so bothered if you unstanned...

If I'm not mistaken, I think all her albums have some sort of Americana or country vibe to them. Whether it's a song off the album, or the majority of the album. Born To Die has Americana vibes sewed into its songs. Ultraviolence has underlying country rock vibes in its songs, especially since I've relistened to the album today. Honeymoon has less Americana/Country vibes to it, more jazz, trap vibes, Nancy Sinatra has Lana said, but I feel like a couple songs off the album could definitely be remastered into country songs. Lust For Life, the second half of the album has genres of country vibes in the songs. Norman Fucking Rockwell! has a couple songs where it could be taken as country. Chemtrails Over The Country is definitely a country-folk album to me, as well as Blue Banisters. DYKTTATUOB is one of the least country-esk album, since it's more experimental, but Let The Light In has that Americana vibe which why it reminds people of old Lana.
 
This being said because a lot of Lana's fans and country fans feel weirded or annoyed that Lana is going into country sounding music, when most of her discography and unreleased discography has dived into country in some sort of sub-genre. Especially, Lana said that TRPWS (back then Lasso) won't be a heavy departure from her past work. Because she too knows that Americana and country vibes are laced within all her projects. 
 
I doubt this album will sound bad. Even if you hate country, you'll probably like a few songs off the album. Every Lana album sounds good. Even if it's not your personal taste of music, you like at least one song off her albums. Even her "flop" albums, lots of people love that album. 
 
Regardless, I just need this album to come out already like let's GOOO 

But there was an energetic pause…..

I just feel like when Lana is fully invested and satisfied with a project she lets us know by posting about it and being more present on social media, in the public, clips of things etc. The fact that she's still so quiet and absent, to me, shows that she still has different ideas and is working on it. I sense uncertainty and I sense something that isn't whole or together. I still don't think we're getting "The Right Person Will Stay" it feels like Rock Candy Sweet, even with her announcement it didn't seem real. We will see. 

since it's dry here, i decided to make a concept.
i would love to have another mono color cover for this album.
hope you like it:
 

 
also, i love this font 

I mean LANA COME ONNN

It’s crazy that her last 11 songs are all non-album songs  we seriously need TRPWS so bad
lost at sea
hollywood bowl
blue skies
say yes to heaven 
Country roads
Suburban house
snow on the beach feat more lana
tough
Alma mater
Life lesson
The abyss

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

The right person will stay… but has he - she - they arrived yet? 

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. 

february 31

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. 

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.
