    I truly don't think Lana would change - or want to change - the themes she has been writing about. She would be more elaborative about it in the next few (hopefully) albums, but not drastically change. I believe it's a part of her artistic process, and I truly wouldn't complain her "singing the same thing every time".

    The fact that Lana chose who she worked with since the beginning and only work with them because they make good music together means that she probably doesn't care that much about mainstream-ity(?). e.g. Dan Heath used to only work on film score and adverts but then started writing songs with Lana, the drastic change of UV ft. Dan Auerbach.

     

    Also the line between indie/mainstream is blurred now. Lana is only mainstream because of that viral song 'Video Games' and (maybe) belongs in Interscope, if she didn't have that her music would have been considered indie. And indie bands work with different people as well - it isn't the case that they only work as a collective anymore. (Thanks for the Lykke Li's example @@whitman)

    Lana seems to get on well with the key people in Interscope / Universal / Polydor despite being mainstream labels so I don't think she would change to indie (or don't care about indie-mainstream stigma). Maybe being lazy at promoting is what Interscope planned and have been doing?

    I read somewhere that she gained A LOT more fan from the release of UV, which is similar to how indie music industry works - good music, more fans.

     

    But the popularity that we are talking about here is the 'viral' one - which Video Games/BTD helped. Hence more promotion needed to help maintain that fame - similar to what Beyonce and Taylor Swift did. Hence all those sorts of big-budget videos and singles during BTD.

     

    But the question here is: can one repeat that? or does Lana/Interscope even want that to happen again? That goes in line with what Interscope did because if they thought Lana can they would have forced more promotion for Paradise or UV - but guess what, they didn't.

     

    The level of 'famous-ness' Lana is now is still able to maintain her popularity / have fans for at least the next few years. She is still way more popular than many indie artists with equally good music. And Interscope still give her more promotion - prime example here: Endless Summer tour with bigger venue than the last tours.

     

    But to be honest, all I care about is her good music. And if she keeps making more good music, that's all I'm here for. And many people are probably have the same view to me.

     

    And if by losing fans means losing 12yo teenage girls who hate UV cos it's a snoozefest then no one needs that kind of fans.

    A little movie like Tropico would be awsome with 3 or 4 songs from UV as an end of the era :)

    I would choose Sad Girl, Pretty When You Cry, FMWUTTT and Brooklyn Baby for The movie

    She seems to have moved on from UV unfortunately - not to mention finished Honeymoon and release it soon. Remember when she bragged about Tropico for forever since the release of Paradise? That's how a film is guaranteed to happen.

    I really hope she's smart with this album and continues to evolve her sound and lyrical content. I think a lot of her future success in the industry is contingent on what she does with this album. She could either be an alternative pop artist who had a couple of nice albums or continue to cement a legacy with a monumental album. That's not going to happen if she keeps singing Dan Heath-produced songs about bad boys. I trust her judgment, though. She always surprises us and MTWBT seems like a promising concept. I'm probably reaching, but it could have a very interesting take on reversing the male gaze that is so prevalent in popular music.

    LOL accept the truth, Lana will forever singing about bad boys, AND work with Dan Heath  :troll:

    Lana's management have been really really careful now in terms of leaks since the massive leaks back in 2012. I think Ultraviolence was leaked only a couple days in advance.

     

    Edit: Ultraviolence was leaked on 8th June. Release date was 13th June.

    Technically that isn't leaked. Several country e.g. NZ/Aus get their release 1 day early, and some music stores stock the physical version 1 week early. UV surfaced on the internet because someone in a random country got hold of the physical version on the 8th of June
