yeah, ever since the start of BB’s rollout I’ve been not enjoying much of what she puts out (which is a real shame, as i’ve connected with so much of her work in the past). The fact that my favorite songs on BB are outtakes from years ago doesn’t give me much hope either, and i really don’t vibe with the lyricism of songs like BB/TB/WW. some songs would work much better as a poem for her next book, rather than a song on an album.
 
I find it funny when people take “wordiness” as something like off to the races, which…. i think we can easily deduce will not be the case. 
 
Anyways, watercolor eyes was great and I hope she somehow finds a way to return to writing like that for a whole album! missing norman rn <\3

Tbh i think she has a title in mind, she just didnt wanna spill this time

exactly speak your truth. i think most OG stans feel this way (most of them do they just don’t wanna admit it but we know) 
 i think after this album a lot of stan cards will be handed in…once again  but hey that’s just what it is can’t do much about it anyway. If this album is another bb or dare i say it even worse/messier (which for now doesn’t exactly sound very different especially with the producers involved) it’ll be the 4th album on this downward spiral for many people in the fandom and it’ll kinda be pointless to expect/wait for her to give us what we want/need again cause it just won’t be happening. Unfortunately no relationship lasts forever even with your favorite artist, we can only wait and see 

I completely agree. While Blue Banisters is good, it’s very hard to just casually play and enjoy the songs, it takes a very specific headspace and when you’re in that headspace it isn’t a ‘jam out’ mood.
 
I do fear that her and I are going different directions, and it’s super easy for other users to say “well if you don’t like her or the direction she’s going, stop being a fan” because truthfully I’m not as big a fan of her as I was and it breaks my heart. I’ve had such a connection with her and the music for 10 years and it’s sad that I can’t vibe to her new music like I used to. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m so happy for the people who are happy at the direction she’s going and are getting exactly what they want from her, but I’m not anymore. When she describes the new album as wordy and raw it just sounds even less like what I want 

the thing about 'wordiness' that gets me is she also says she isn't using colors and is just singing what comes to mind. So many of her songs have been super descriptive, and quite frankly she's doing the opposite of what I've been wanting her to do. Instead of going back to a creative writing style she's doubling down on her more recent writing style. I'm trying hard to not be negative, and I'm going to wait until we get a taste of the new music, but I am a little nervous

can I just ask you how are you being so hopeful when she literally said “it’s a wordy album. it’s conversational. I just sing things to my voice memos and send them to Drew for him to put orchestra over it” or even “i found hard to have ideas when I’m alone” like we’re literally gonna get an album with no rhythm, songs with no structure full of verses without a chorus… I’m finding really hard to be hopeful about the next era. but I don’t wanna be negative so I’m just happy we’re getting music soon but I’m scared 

I truly think we're getting an oct 2022- march 2023 release. with the gucci event/italy, her being so active, the mag cover, her recently going public for an extended period of time on Honeymoon, etc. something is in the works/coming and shes keeping it lowkey. 

the only insider info we’re getting are those fake leak twitter accounts 

besides the tlsp tracks she can put those

i like drew but he is legally and psychically not allowed within a 50km radius of fine China and ITTJ

yeah same thing happened with the release dates of Chemtrails & Banisters & American Standards & Classics.
Knowing Lana - atp you shouldnt take her words seriously 

i legit can’t see a digital album happening unless it’s a re-release of Lizzy Grant or the covers/unreleased album, she makes WAY to much off of vinyl sales not to have them.

GORGEOUS IM OBSESSED 
 
however “It’s a very wordy album. So there’s no room for color. It’s almost like I’m typing in my mind” has me 😭 
looks like we’ll be getting more bb/tb/ww lyricism rather than classic lana lyricism, a personal loss, but i’m still excited 
i wonder when this interview was done though, we know she changes her mind a lot, and she’s also been working with jack quite a bit recently and he wasn’t mentioned at all
 
also living for the swan song love in this thread  best song on hm yup yup yup

all i’ll say after reading this thread is that some of you are incredibly annoying! 

 
i cannot wait for the day that some of you realize piano≠ballad! and the ones that think all of nfr and chemtrails are piano ballads… grow ears i am BEGGING

God please no

Dreaming in No Color ????
 
….a play on the phrase “dreaming in technicolor” which normally denotes being wildly unrealistic. We’ve even seen her toy with this concept before in Get Free: 
 
“There’s no more chasing rainbows/
And hoping for an end to them/
Their arches are illusions/
Solid at first glance.”
 
just an unrealistic guess lol

and it’s as usual all marina’s fault 

 

Ella Yelich-O’Connor

with raw vocals from her voice memo app that Drew slapped some reverb on 

so its a conversational album... like a poetry album? 

tbh i missed Jack so i'm happy that it seems that he‘s back
 
i mean.. he also produced some of Lana's best songs

Omg the official pre-release thread is here!
