I FUCKING NEED A NEW HAIR COLOR FOR GOD'S SAKE

I hope she gives us freaky alien in a UFO w a blaster gun vibes for a mv/ song 

rick nowels? yes tbh

But poor Ellie gets bullied by her label and gets her albums stopped all the time unless she gets a hit . Managers can only do so much... at the end of the day releases are dictated by labels.
Luckily Lana's only limitation is herself (and vinyl plants ofc 

She was probably just exaggerating about the no colors and automatic singing thing. As some of you already said, she always describes her album based on the last songs she wrote for it so I expect a lot of BB/WFWF but we're definitely getting some classic Lana too in there. Just look at Text Book, the verses and lyrics are very post NFR Lana but the chorus/post chorus melody sounds straight out of BTD (minus the production of course).
I'm sure she'll say blue at least 3 or 4 times during the album 
 
I'm also conflicted about her saying it's nothing like Honeymoon but she went from ignoring its existence to acknowledging it a lot lately  (and why was she singing GKIT in Italy in the church she filmed the UV MV? It would make more sense if she was signing the UV title track  and Chuck was even filming it but they never posted the whole thing from her phone.
Maybe LDR9 concept is the (even more) twisted version of HM and that was for the album trailer 
 

I honestly would love it! 
 
Along with Dealer, that vibe makes me imagine something like Tired Of Singing The Blues (especially the wordy, angry intro). It would be a cultural reset, I fear….

i think she might keep the real special jack songs that they've made on the album because let's be honest when jack and lana do the good songs they're good good (venice bitch, mac, nfr, white dress)

TJF is one of the highlights of COCC, IMO, and I’m not sure he could have brought something else to that song, but who knows. I love both producers: Jack often brought a certain “spark” to their songs, but Rick is better with his piano melodies, plus those romantic arrangements 

It's funny that you say that when it's legit become a thing/meme online where people beg their favourite artists to stop collaborating with him because he "ruins"
their music/albums.
 
I like that this album seems to be a bit of a melting pot of producers, because that actually brings balance and nuance. It could potentially be a bit chaotic, or lack cohesion. But to me that's better than another album where Jack is fully in charge, we've heard enough of the "Jack + Lana" sound.
 
Rick is a fan favourite, Jack is not.

most of the population could say the same about marina 

most of the population could say the same about marina 

also your comment on her past work is a tad sexist to say the least 

I mean Rick's catalog is insane you can't deny that he is a really talented producer with a really successful career 

No comment

Her best lyricist/collaborator coming to save the day. 
 

Hopefully Rick was brought along to make the instruments well balanced & audible this time around 

I think Rick brings out a certain Romantic Lana that we all love, Romantic in the original sense of the Romantic poets, as well as the contemporary meaning. '13 Beaches,' 'The Blackest Day,' 'Cherry,' 'White Mustang,' the Honeymoon title track, 'Swan Song,' etc.  
 
There may be a sense that that is the old Lana persona, and her work with Jack presents a woman in far more control of her life and emotions. 
 
I think most of the songs on BB, the new tracks, that is, but including IYLDWM, showed us a Lana in control, and facing, and thus defeating, her demons. I certainly loved the Lana of VFR.
 
I think IYLDWM showed us a hybrid Lana persona, Romantic and strong, in charge. Perfect. It's one of my all-time Lana favorites. 

Rick will always remain supreme to me. I love all of her work but her and Rick are just untouchable. 

the rick love in this thread is overwhelming!!!!  the one who produced "the blackest day" can´t be the wrong one for her

An entire album written by Lana and Barrie that sounds like the original ultraviolence concept   

ben teasing it more than her makes me think it actually is coming soon-ish

i trust the bitch i know we won't get an album similar to bb she's cooking up a storm if ben is this excited about it 

So it's coming "soon" 
 

We won, I miss Rick so much. I mean it’s nice to have one track of his at the very least across each record but I miss him having more involvement. I feel like her and Rick really worked so so great together and just had/have this amazing connection. Truly magical. 

Woke up, saw that Lana followed Rick Nowels on IG. Day is made.
