imagine if Chemtrails is actually her love+fear 
worst nightmare

I have a theory! 
 
~It’s the day after the “question for the culture” video.. 
Ben: Lana! You said the title and the release date of the album? Wasn’t it supposed to be a surprise release? 
Lana: yeah I know I blew it 
Ben: so what we do now? Let’s drop a single and make a regular release calendar? 
Lana: no... let’s just keep it like it was supposed to be. I blew it dropping the title but I want the rest of it to be like we’ve planned! 
Ben: ok 

now hold on I'm not that desperate for new music.

Chuck is waiting for iPhone 12 to be released to shoot the album art, hence the delay. 

she always does this to us... I guess she likes edging cocc's...

"written in the sky" and "me myself and you" kinda came to my mind, sound very lana for this era 

Can she actually lock it please so I don’t check this page 100 times a day for no reason 

am i the only one who literally has no fear of it being delayed?  sure we don’t have as much info as other albums at this point in time before release, but we have a title, song titles, a snippet, and a release date ... to me i still believe it’s coming early September and that she’s just trying out a new rollout method so im just laying back and chilling till that date  but it’s funny to watch everybody get worked up for over 200 pages and if it’s not out in september ill happily join yall 

the username above is how im feeling now.mp4

Imagine something like a blend between these two for the album cover

It’s highly possible. Dan also reported that when UV was done, Interscope asked her to meet with Adele’s producer (I think it’s Paul Epstein?!?), to pen a single together. She was furious but caved in. That producer listened to UV and said to Interscope that that album didn’t need any more songs because it was already excellent. 
edit: it’s Paul Epworth lollll ???

In the past, her number 1 records gave her lots of liberties with the next album. UV went number 1 despite the “pressure” from her label to have a more “single” song. After that, she could pull out HM, her vanity project, and the interviews during that era reflect that she had lots and lots of creative liberties... But it’s still one of her weakest when it comes to numbers. With LFL, we know she sat down with the label to discuss the sound and more importantly, the singles of this era. The album went number 1... which brings us to Norman. Jack on board was the big “promo” for the label. They both seem to have had lots of creative liberties, even if the pre-release was endless. The month before, with all the “intense promo” there was and with the different variants, it smelled like “we are pushing this album”... which debuted at number 3. But came the critical acclaim and it is still doing great over time. So where does that bring us, I terms of strategies for Chemtrails? I have no fucking clue lol 

its a surprise release if no one believe in anything u say

!!! This is very well put. This really is the reason why I prefer the You demo to the album cut, as it shows her vocal quirk a bit better. Emotional Machine almost goes there too, but the vocals are just so smoothed over in a way that we loose that Marina-ism that you get in earlier tracks. What I really think separates Marina from any old pop girl is her singing style. The glossiness/smoothness of the vocals are what really turns me off on L+F. It adds so much personality to the music and I feel like I would have received L+F so much better with vocals like her earlier works. When you read the lyrics to Karma, you wouldn't expect it to sound the way it does... lol
 
I wonder if those are the people who got into Marina with Froot...lol. Wasn't the Love vs Fear concept sort of last minute? If I recall correctly wasn't the album "Handmade Heaven" until not long before release...

No I think we'd still be having the same discussion even without EH in her discography. Froot was as least a fully realized concept when it came to promotion and it has lyrics that actually feel personal to her.
L+F just feels like a faceless album she made because she was tired of singing about her personal experiences and honestly every artist has one of those so it's fine, but it was unexpected from someone who showed 3 albums of consistency and vision... and it certainly doesn't help people treat it like a high-brow artistic statement that we just didn't get. It's a (mostly) well-written album let down massively by the production, which sanded off all the quirks that make a Marina album a Marina album.
We can hear that in the demo for You

To be honest, I can't wait for her next album to be released. I just want this non ending L+F debate to stop. I want the album to slowly disappear from everyone's minds, so we can move on to a much better album/era.  Knowing her, she won't have her album released after 2 or 3 more years tho.

can't wait for marina to redeem herself, l+f was so horrendous it tainted her past projects for me as well  

Remembering that time lana told us about the book she was gonna write about the paranoid and doomed starlet who died in her pool. 
 
Yet another unfulfilled promise that would’ve been dope. I would’ve bought that book. 

the constant hatred for l4l is upsetting me and my homegirls.
you guys really don't like love, lust for life, 13 beaches, cherry, white mustang, summer bummer, groupie love, in my feelings, heroin, change, and get free???

Go on girl give us nothing

Can you stop making these because it’s only going to make the real cover look awful thank you.

Made another album cover (how many times will I keep doing this?  )! What I imagine a cover shot by Neil Krug could look like. I would love if she adopted a luxury air-travel aesthetic! 

If Miley & Charli were to collab, I would def want something like We Can’t Stop... but I know they’d give us a banger no matter what genre they decided to dabble in..  

i'm literally the opposite, i love the update and will probably go on here more often

Lana has nothing "left to work on", in terms of Violet; the audiobook is finished and released--the only remaining thing is for the manufacturers to print and press the physical versions, which requires 0 of Lana's efforts at this point. Saying she still has a "full plate" with Violets is untrue...and she can certainly put new music out before Oct. 2
