She released 2 albums last year...

This woman has released an album pretty much every year since Born To Die. She released a poetry book in 2020 and 2 albums in 2021. Let her breathe a bit and perfect the album so no one's complaining about "rushed" this or rushed that. Don't say you're over LDR 8 when we all know that you will be streaming whether it comes out in 6 months or 6 years from now. 

I NEVER MEANT TO BE BAD OR UNWELL
I WAS JUST LIVING ON THE EDGE
RIGHT BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL
AND I'M TIRED OF IT

I contradict myself? Very well then, I contain multitudes - or whatever the fuck! 
Whatever she releases, I will be buying and streaming dahhling

I don't want to ruin the party or something but for me it looks like a photo from behind the scenes of the homemade music video for ''pawn shop blues'' that got released on chuck's instagram, it features alana which a long-term friend of her so its no surprise she can be involved with any, future or past project. But it could also mean that we'll have a release for pawn shop blues (and i'd love it to be able to hear on streaming platforms)

Rockafella! 

I love how Lana said it's LDR10 but Ben insists it's LDR9

Honestly, expecting this record to sound like Arcadia, WFWF, and BB given the details we have

Today is the 10th anniversary of Ride... LDR Village, we're waiting for those "special announcements."  Maybe an exclusive 10th anniversary vinyl or box set?

rockafella- rockafella... 

idk whats going on these past pages but the snippet sounds very much like french restaurant and also very much active like btd was and is. i'm wondering what the rest of the material sounds like, manifesting more of the track 

rockafella . . . 

A cover of lemon incest incoming..

There’s no way she’s dropping a country album when she’s out and about wearing a necklace that says slut…….. girl is going to serve.. I just know it

Wait...if there's link to a clarifying post plz share I moved. Saw it in the GTA 6 source code leak

I think most people lose interest in Lana's album releases due to the fact that she announces them (or mentions them) long before they're even finished. Look at Taylor, she announced an album that she already had ready and fans will only have to wait a month to hear it, as for us... at least we have health

ʷʰᵃᵗ? wₕₐₜ? ʷʰᵃᵗ? wₕₐₜ? ʷʰᵃᵗ? wₕₐₜ? ʷʰᵃᵗ? wₕₐₜ?
ʸᵘᵖ! yᵤₚ! ʷʰᵃᵗ? wₕₐₜ? ʷʰᵃᵗ? wₕₐₜ? ʷʰᵃᵗ? wₕₐₜ?

I really like this idea, and it also makes me reminisce on how grand the releases of LFL and NFR felt to me—especially with the lovely album trailers
 
Then again, imagine it’s just her team’s way of getting a bunch of streams to “green-light” a more lowkey, obscure project that wouldn’t be as well-received commercially by the public…like for country or conversational, automatic singing  (btw I’m 100% supportive of either of these options—just offering another possibility lol)
 
That being said, Blue Banisters was subtle in its release, so I wouldn’t be shocked (especially with Dua’s departure) that her management wants something that feels more grand and engaging for her audience. 
 
I’d be equally happy with any of the routes, but regardless of the path she chooses for LDR9, I do hope she returns in a unique, unexpected way! 

Drunk as hell as I'm leaving a reggaeton party in an Uber... All I can think of, though, is this damn album. I hold onto the mention of Honeymoon in that interview as if I was holding a newborn baby.

Where is the next snippet 

As I said upon its release, to me, 'VFR' is the big sister of 'America.' I love Lana partially because she addresses all aspects of life, like all great artists and songwriters, not just the upbeat, happy side and not just the sad, downbeat side--she covers it all. 'VFR' is, I think, a very genuine expression of post-COVID release and sense of freedom again, as well as a beautiful expression of new personal strength and ability to adapt and move on. As an amateur horticulturist, I love the plant references and lines like "Larchmont Village smells like lilies of the valley."
 
I agree--the 'jazzy spirit" is still within her and it will be interesting to see how she develops it.  
 
By the way, if JA did say 'TJF' was bombastic, that I would disagree with. 

I respect everyone's right to their own taste and opinion. 'Violets For Roses' is one of my all-time favorite songs by Lana. The subtlety of the "a-has" to drive the melody home towards the end--about 3:41--is amazing, and something only Lana (or early Tori Amos) could do. 
 
I agree with those who said "Jack had nothing to do with it"--meaning 'VFR'--we know from 'BPBP,' 'White Mustang' and 'Change,' among other pre-JA tracks, that Lana has been writing simple, '70s-Carly-Simon-like songs, sometimes with minimalist production for a while. This goes way back--'Old Money,' another of all my all-time Lana songs, was very simple in structure and melody.
 
I agree that JA may have brought, or seems to have brought, a certain amount of blandness and/or obviousness to Lana's music, but for me, 'VFR' isn't an example of that. And for me, whatever 'NFR!' leftovers made COCC were better than most of NFR!, an album I'm not a great fan of.  
 
Lana has said she "grew up in a Carly Simon household" with a suggestion of disapproval, but she's middle-aged now and what we find on LDR9 may reflect that (or not), just as Carly Simon and Joni Mitchell were entering middle age in their latter 70s work (Mitchell was 33 at the time of 'Hejira,' and even has a 1981 song that begins, "Caught in the middle, Carol, we're middle class, we're middle-aged..."). 
 
I'd love to see Lana take command and do something really powerful, energetic, and blistering, like 'Serene Queen,' on LDR9, but we don't know where her head is at right now and we may never see that side of her again (though the JA 'bombastic' tracks seem to a suggest otherwise).  

nothing will ever compare to the NFR pre-release thread
