Yall a mess yall overreacting too much I hope Iggy Azalea and Meghan Trainor get featurings on Honeymoon the third album fully produced by Max Martin and the lead single samples Taylor Swift's Love Story.
 

this. this so much.

I don't see how this is even a debate lmao like how are some of y'all fine with lazy ass promo

Ok, I just....Ok,...lemme try one more time. Of course it is not important to you in terms of your own pleasure. When the music sucks, it sucks. Promo doesn't make it better. Nobody is denying it.
However, when the music is great, you would want to hear more music from this artist in the future that is on the same level, right? Therefor this music needs exposure, so that further releases don't fall short, because it needs to sell well.
Besides, you would certainly enjoy this artist performing these songs live, because you love the music and you get excited seeing it performed, right? There is just a positive feeling seeing your fave on the screen singing. Or playerd on the radio when you drive to your workplace? You'd also love to see great visuals that the song deserves because it's sad when the visuals of a great song suck, right? Because it doesn't do it justice. And guess what, great visuals need money. It also isn't a bad thing to see other people reacting in a positive way towards it, because we are human after all. We love being part of something that gets recieved well and to say to ourselves: ha, ma girl. i was rooting for her from the start.
 
We shall all root for Lana and hope to see as much as possible from her, cause she is our favourite artist. 
 
Because if we don't, I haven't seen a stranger fanbase than this one. Not wanting to see their fave often, performing, being liked and do commercially well as a reward for the hard work they put into the work.

Yes, Lana could go indie, but I think that would be an extremely short-lived success. Can we talk about how it's basically necessary for artists like Lana to do promo and what not to sustain a career in general? If she just shits out albums with little to no support in terms of promo, videos, etc, she's not going to have the stable means to continue making music. And then what? You'll cry how she should've done more promo 

Because "She is an icon! Her art is so above everyone else that she doesn't need to promote it."
 
Or, "We don't want her to become mainstream because people who listen to Top40 shit will listen to her and devalue my own listening experience"
 
Or, "We don't want her to literally whore herself out by going on television. I mean, only manufactured shit do televised performances, right?"
 
Or, "She said she releases music for herself and doesn't want other people to listen to it! She doesn't want fame! Fame is for disgusting mainstream pop artists like Beyonce and Rihanna!"

I don't think so. I am just realistic to admit that Lana is not able to release the material without help from others It's not a shame though. Almost nobody can, but to keep your material up to a quality standard and continue to have that standard, you need to work hard to get it heard. 
The music business is a business after all. 

what the hell were they thinking? 

moving from the farmland to the city bc you have an arranged marriage with your millionaire cousin looks

Well, if you are all fine with the situation we had with Ultraviolence because it makes you feel indy or like you would listen to "more serious music", you can have your way.
I'd prefer HQ performances on the radio and TV and some musicvideos with high quality (and I'm not talking about big budget, but about videos which aren't superlazy wannabe-deep videos like the Ultraviolence one)

did you hear Too Far?
 
lel

this.... it actually seems she might come through this time. she has 2 videos ready to be released already. she's put out lyrics for one of the songs and a snippet of another possible song (life is beautiful).
it seems she's actually getting her shit together this era.

LIKE WHAT EVEN THO WHY WOULD VEVO DO THIS TO ME http://i.imgur.com/cSTcCav.png
 

She needs to get her ass up and promote all around the world. People in Europe almost forgot about Lana Del Rey. It's simple as that: if you don't promote, you don't earn much recognition from the music buying public and you are forgotten.
So ironic, since Lana doesn't want her work to be forgotten, but is not willing to work hard for it with interviews and live performances. I hope it changes. If she promotes in Germany, France and the UK, she is unstoppable. She better tours in Europe and Australia next year, otherwise she is completly erased from these markets.
 
And she can also leave her Instagram filtered videos for herself. Nobody wanna see that anymore.
