Velours

Some people don't like her since her sound is slow and very calm. I absolutely love those type of songs, when i have shown some of them, be it Lana or another artist/composer, i've found that most people seem to have like, the idea that calm music makes you sleep and it's boring. When i showed one instrumental to a friend (Specifically, the Twin Peaks main theme) she said ''My god, that's gonna put me to sleep!'', and i've been recieving the exact same replies from other people. Most like upbeat songs, with powerful voices and at least catchy/easy-to-understand lyrics, Lana doesn't usually head towards that direction, instead having a more slow pacing sound, melancholic/reference filled lyrics and her voice is calm, moody and of course, absolutely beautiful, but most people think you've gotta have a powerhouse voice to be considered like a talented artist, it doesn't help that the majority her detractors think she's manufactured and she's only there because she comes from a wealthy background (AKA you don't have a rags-to-riches background means you're fake/ain't talented).
 
In a very personal opinion, i think most of them hate because they can, because she's an easy target, without even having listened to her more carefully.
But some people genuinely don't like her, and that's fine, everyone got different tastes, as long as you respect.

This whole thing is so stupid. I mean I always illegally downloaded my music before, and this won't make me stop. It's gonna make me do it more now that they're taking away my option to stream. 

that's what im talking about

I don't understand the hype about this??
Like, 20 dollars a month? That's like 280 mexican pesos a month, then if it's 20 dollars a month it would be 240 dollars per year, which is 3,360 mexican pesos per year just for music? wtf why are you all excited for this, this is horrible, with that money i buy like, an entire closet of clothes 
 
why i don't live in the USA omg i'm obsessed with the mess that's Americaaa

The only people really hyped about this/into the idea are like... the heavyweight artists investing in it, lmao. The video of them talking about how this will start a revolution or whatever was so cringeworthy.

this is honestly so dumb, if it was released 10 years ago it would be savvy + new but its so pointless when you can stream for free via spotify and download tracks (albeit illegally) via the internet in 1 second.
 
also the whole #TidalForAll stuff is bullshit bc I don't know anyone who will have £20 spare to spend on streaming "exclusive" HQ music, so I think it's created complete exclusivity. plus, I can understand doing it for artists who are relatively small-ish (ie Marina) bc it gets them extra $$$ but really? Beyoncé? Jay-Z? Madonna? don't you guys already have fat paychecks with lots of 0000000? (off topic but where were all these black celebs at Tidal during Blackout month + #BlackLivesMatter hmmmmmmmmm? but that's another situation)
 
its just utter BS to me

I kind of thought that at first because of the hype on tumblr but omg this is so unnecesary, making rich people richer like why?
Concerts are quite expensive too, but that's understandable because you're there with the actual artist performing, not listening to an audio file omg
Just torrent it or buy the album itself when it goes on Target at like 5 dollars

Nobody is lmao, TrashMagic was only excited bc he thought this would include an announcement for a new collab album between jayz and beyonce/ or the artists 
 
This is the next beats by dr. dre, over-hyped crap with a shiny logo (in this case, Masonry tiles).  Just as people are now noticing that Apple, beats, Nike, etc are just a name brand, where everything is made in Asian countries for less than $40, they quickly are with this new product.
 
You want a real music experience? Buy the physical version and go to concerts.

I personally think Lana is the most interesting mainstream/major female artist of the 2010s so far.

Yes because i'm able to admit that i'm wrong

I absolutely adore every song of her, be it Sirens,AKA,unreleased,BTD,UV or a soundtrack, i've never been disatisfied with a song of hers, i like them all, i could listen to them a lot and not skip one.
I want her to do a collab with David Lynch or Quentin Tarantino so bad.

They said be cool, but, she's already coolest
i think she has a lot of detractors because of her wealthy background, or they just don't bother to actually understand the lyrics, or wtvrs
I used to think she was going to be like that, when i listened to BTD i loved it all, but when i started to dig up all of the unreleased stuff, the holy grail of AKA and actually bothering to look up the meaning and references is when i appreciated her even more and fell in love with her she ruined my life.

there's no need to be r00d guise, instead let's wait for Honeymoon

She should make a movie with all of those experiences/made up experiences across the country with visual imagery like a François Truffaut/David Lynch hybrid

Come 2 Brazil

Everyone(the hipster music press) thought back around spring 2012 that she's a "flash in the pan" and will be irrelevant by 2013. Now she's bigger than ever.
 
From "Video Games" to "Big Eyes", Lana has never put out a song that I thought cringe-worthy or bad in any way. I know she is not the sole songwriter for many of her songs, but that doesn't change the fact that she knows how to partner up with quality songwriters too. That's a skill in itself. She has a tremendous visual arts flair that IMHO is indelible. From the videos of "Video Games", "Blue Jeans", "Summertime Sadness" with their super-8 type quality to the epic "Ride" to "Tropico" I think she's a female David Lynch.
 
On top of all that, a new album coming at the end of the year. She's literally the only woman in the pop industry(other than Sia) that I can celebrate.
 
There is a way she invokes nostalgia and sadness that is indelible. Some people have a problem with that, but someone has to carry that torch. She is fucking crazy, but she is free.
 
Keep on sad-corin' Lana.

lol you should stay away from the feminist thread on here then, its a  mess
