DLT

Oh yeah that is old. A couple-few years back. Also if I’m not mistaken I think that was debunked. It’s been a while and Lana has so many songs floating around it is hard to keep track sometimes.

Honestly I don’t feel like it’s real but who knows. The beginning of the snippet sounded off but the mid to end sounds nice. She did Dealer with Zach and he also worked on TB so the two could be related. That said though I’m 99% sure the snippet is not legit. So many “snippets” with any era lol! Now I’m second guessing. Idk why but I always thought dealer was Zach. Either way def sounds interesting but I try to keep my interest/expectations low when it comes to the unverified snippet game lol.

Blue Banisters is the song honestly. I have had it on repeat the last day and a half lol! I’ll randomly drop Text Book and then every now and then WW but for the most part it is BB on loop. It’s so magical!

I know that the general assumption with the lyric Chucky is making birthday cake is about Chuck and then she references her again as Chicken. I was thinking and wondering if maybe they call Charlie Chucky and if it was him she was referencing. Then she next turns and references Chuck also by her nickname. Just random thought lol. If so it is cute she references them both in the track by their nicknames and in turn it makes me wonder is Chucks nickname chicken because Charlies nickname is Chucky which cld get confusing with Chuck lol. I know it's not that serious but just wondering.

I honestly would be fine with the first BB selfie in the blue jean shirt, that or that screen still from the BB teaser with her and Clay looking up towards the sky.

So eloquently said and totally agree! I may not love the cover but I do love the intent behind it and the fact that she is doubling down. I'm a bit of a stubborn ass myself so I relate lol!

But she did post lol, she just archive/deleted them.

Summer comes, winter goes Spring I skip, God knows Summer comes, winter goes Spring I sleep, heaven knows This part really hits for me. The whole song hits but this paired with the production, just speechless. This song is the perfect combination of reflection, yearning, melancholy, support, and the presence of hope and strength in sadness. I don't know def very special. I'm done ranting.

Lol I found one that was 17 tracks long but I don’t think it’s legit. 1. Too many already “heard” songs and 2. RCS is supposed to have been renamed.

Idk lol! The interns running the socials haven’t been updated yet or are just confused. The tweet is legit though. I went to their profile.

If she did this it could provide more time for the album physicals to be produced. Like create the build up/anticipation as far as the wait. The only way I see this happening is with first week physicals. The label will draw the line on the physicals counting the first week.

If she did do this I don’t think first week sales will be so bad. Her primary sales are physicals which people are going to buy regardless, even if they have heard all the songs. In fact if she did this it may help build her streaming numbers because all the tracks would have been previously streamed over a period of time. It’s a very interesting concept and I personally wouldn’t be opposed to it. It’s like we get the chapters leading up to the full release of the book. **to edit my thought about the streams. That’s if the streams ahead of release count towards the albums first week sales. I thought they did but not 100 percent certain.”** It would be very different and experimental to say the least. Is it possible yes, I’m still on fence if label would be on fence with something so outside the norm though. They do have their limits after all.

I can agree that it isn’t a huge shift sonically. There are similarities for sure. For me it is the ambient background production in BB specifically that kind of separates it for me. It just feels fuller to me in a sense. That said no hate to Jack, NFR and Chemtrails were both amazing and beautiful. Idk I guess the fuller sound with the dive into the deeper lyrics just make them feel a bit more prominent.

I honestly think it is! Everything is adding up to that. Why would “Jen” be writing with Lana and Nikki? The lyrics and connections you’ve noted just further solidify it. So as far as I’m concerned no one can tell us otherwise lol!

Especially considering the real lack of any promo or effort, besides all the variants. Honestly would not be surprised if they use the same game plan. Variants to kingdom come lol!

So when the songs initially came out everyone was wondering if Jenny was Jenny Lewis or someone else. I remember someone saying that Jenny and Nikki were friends as well. I’m really thinking it was Jenny Lewis based off that and the lyric we were “writing” with Nikki Lane. Anyways that makes BB even more special to me because Rilo Kiley will always hold a special place in my heart!

I'm still very intrigued and wanting to know what BOZ meant by just the beginning and I can't believe she is doing this. There was a theory I believe I saw on twitter where it said she would release songs in threes up until album release. Do I believe that, not really. It is an interesting concept though. I don't think it's traditional to release a full album before the "release". I guess we will just have to wait and see. I def think the lack of speaking/promo is a conscious choice. The theory that it's kind of a fuck you to the media would make sense, in a sense. We all know how headstrong she is! In regards to the label/mgmt caring or not, as others have stated they have other big acts that are the pop push artists. I feel like Lana is just kind of an auto pilot artist for them. They know she is consistent and has a very strong following. They know no matter what she puts out it will be successful. She doesn't have to do much to make them and herself money. Are there probably conversations about her doing more, most likely. Again though, she is very stubborn. I can maybe see them being used to this and just kind of picking their battles lol! As far as the new songs, I have had them a cple days and I can say they are all three so meaningful and beautiful. They evoke so much more feeling then a lot of her recent tracks and I am so fucking excited. I think it is funny how WW was the one hyped up most but the other two are def standouts to me. I'm leaning towards BB being my favorite but it does go back and forth between it and TB. There is just something super special about BB though, it really hits. It is just so heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time.

And people bought the vinyls like candy, myself included, lol! They don’t care lol. They know her fan base will buy whatever!

Not going to lie I would low key be okay with an album produced solely by Zach and Gabe based off of the tracks we got today. They are so interesting and beautiful! The outro in BB is just everything to me. I fucking love it!

Zachary on production on Text book, why am I not shocked it is my current fave!

All amazing each is it's own serve and vibe but TB>BB>WW. WW is so eye opening in many ways- family dynamics, mom, mental health and struggles, just wow. BB is so beautiful, I love its prod and feel so much-the outro is just yesss. Textbook has it all and that is that on that.

I think that track list is fake. I thought RCS was renamed?

Facts.

She definitely sounds more fired up here to me!

Low key giving me Hole vibes. Ready for full!
