when her meditative automatic writing produces an off to the races type track 

Wait I like jack tho

Our first official pre-release without a fake insider going on and on (and ooooon) about stuff that isn't true  This isn't an invitation for someone else to start doing that

Omg wait that would be so good
I want more The Last Shadow Puppets songs

Mark Ronson posted Lana a couple of times on his Instagram stories. Hoping he talks to her about producing a few songs. 

I love those songs too, but some of them get so boring after a while

Drew worst producer of ALL TIME so this will be another BB level shit fest I fear!
 
excited though!

She's angry? DEALER X12 ALBUM INCOMING

this!!! I’m so sick of one take vocals. I want GKIT in the church vocals not raw one take vocals.

I'd love to get more angry songs, but I'd rather have Drew to stay away from her  
No. More. Raw. Vocals. You can still make a point without the "rawness/messiness".

my heart wouldnt have been able to take a controversial album… we dont need anymore controversy  especially when all the hate is old news at this point

Oh the album is conversational not controversial

Well everyone… the time has come.
 
Welcome to the LDR9 Pre-Pre-Release Thread - Annual Discussion & Meltdown!
 
Lana Del Rey has revealed to W Magazine that a new, still untitled album is in the works.
"I’ve been practicing meditative automatic singing, where I don’t filter anything. I’ll just sing whatever comes to mind into my Voice Notes app. It’s not perfect, obviously. There are pauses, and I stumble. But I’ve been sending those really raw-sounding files to a composer, Drew Erickson, and he’ll add an orchestra beneath the words, matching each syllable with music and adding reverb to my voice. For this new music, it’s more just like: I’m angry. The songs are very conversational. For the first song, I pressed record and sang, “When I look back, tracing fingertips over plastic bags, I think I wish I could extrapolate some small intention or maybe get your attention for a minute or two.” It’s a very wordy album."
 
 
What we know so far:
- Lana will make an announcement about the album on December 7th, as stated in an Interview on November 30th, 2022
- Lana is working on an untitled album with a completed opening track, confirmed in her interview with W Magazine in May 2022
- Lana is collaborating with composer Drew Erickson, confirmed in her interview with W Magazine in May 2022

- Jack Antonoff worked with Lana on a song completed in April 2022 that could be on her record, as stated in his interview with The New Yorker in May 2022
- There is a possible collaboration with Jon Batiste, as Lana shared a video in a studio with him as a song snippet played on @honeymoon in August 2022
- Ian Kirkpatrick may be involved with the production, speculated after Lana shared a picture of a video call with him on her IG stories in September 2022 
- Her father may be involved with the record as he shared photos in Jack Antonoff's studio in March 2022
- The record may be a digital-only release, per her statement during an Instagram Livestream in October 2021
- Lana wore a custom-made jacket by the director of LDR Village with a patch that said "DNC" that may pertain to the record in December 2021

Yep, many gems in here. Don't know what y'all into.

It still amazes me that this thread is almost at 6000 pages, like thats a lot of pages

one thing i do hate is the fags that claim an album "aged" after less than a few months...
 
 
 
sorry that streaming ruined your braincells but like, it's just NOT possible for an album to be dated less than a year after release. the "age" of how an album sounds is only possible a year or two after release, don't be so deluded

lets burn her at the stake

me lying for attention

'Lana Del Rey and Chuck Grant are the Chillest Sisters at the Gucci Cruise Show'
On the outskirts of a star-studded castle in Puglia, our editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg caught up with Lana Del Rey and her sister Chuck Grant to discuss cleavage, cauldrons, and the wickedly eclectic looks at Gucci Cosmogonie 2023 cruise show.
 
 
Mel Ottenberg: Ok, I’m with my two favorite sisters at the Gucci show. 
 
Chuck Grant: I’m with my favorite daddy.
 
Ottenberg: [Laughs] What are your names?
 
Lana Del Rey: Chuck and Lana.
 
Ottenberg: We’re at the castle right now. What did you guys think about the Gucci show? 
 
Lana Del Rey: Everything. 
 
Ottenberg: It was everything.
 
Lana Del Rey: You don’t know what to expect, and then you get it all. ‘20s, ‘40s, contemporary.
 
Ottenberg: ‘80s—lots of ‘80s. Lana does not want to talk about the ‘80s right now—
 
Lana Del Rey: I know.
 
Ottenberg: —But I do. I wanna talk about it, Lana.
 
Lana Del Rey: It reminds me of when Johnny wanted to talk about the ‘70s, and I said, “Okay, okay, okay. Hold on. We’re doing ‘40s, ‘50s, ‘60s.” And then all of a sudden, we moved to Laurel Canyon and it was straight ‘70s for years. ‘80s are amazing. What would you call Chuck’s look?
 
Ottenberg: I think this is giving ‘20s.
 
Lana Del Rey: Right, with the velvet ruffle.
 
Ottenberg: And then the shoe is ‘40s. You’re right. But your outfit—well, this isn’t part of the show—but the dress is ‘20s, the shoes are ‘40s…
 
Lana Del Rey: Right, so ‘20s and now. I feel so much gratitude to be able to enjoy fashion again. This show reminded me of the early days when YSL was starting, when Ferragamo began, when Gucci began, it was a lifestyle. It seemed like for a few years, we couldn’t even enjoy the lifestyle. But now—I mean, there are so many amazing people in attendance tonight, and I feel like fashion can actually be cheerful again. That was always my thing—can we bring the joy back into it? This show wasn’t just about joy. It was something we’ve never seen before.
 
Ottenberg: It was sensual, it was beautiful. It was a real effort—we’re in a medieval castle in the middle of nowhere. 
 
Lana Del Rey: I think it’s the effort that I appreciated. It kind of makes you actually evaluate where you’re putting effort into your life.
 
Chuck Grant: I was thinking that too. They fully carried us through this entire experience.
 
Lana Del Rey: The tech crew, every gaffer was like, holding each other afterwards. 
 
Chuck Grant: And the cauldron! We thought it was real.
 
Ottenberg: Yeah the cauldron was amazing.
 
Chuck Grant: It’s fake!
 
Ottenberg: Oh, it’s fake, it’s hot. Also, you guys look amazing. Lana I’ve styled before, but off-duty, you guys are two of the chillest California girls I know, and you’re really turned out for this thing, huh.
 
Chuck Grant & Lana Del Rey: Yeah.
 
Ottenberg: Okay, any favorites—a favorite accessory? We love the pearls. The long pearls, the choker pearls. 
 
Lana Del Rey: I liked the double pearls.
 
Chuck Grant: The fishnets.
 
Ottenberg: I liked the strawberry.
 
Lana Del Rey: I think fishtails—we’ve been talking about fishtails—
 
Ottenberg: Yeah I’m done with a train, I’m down with a fishtail.
 
Lana Del Rey:  I appreciated the sheer trains, because you can’t have a show without it.
 
Ottenberg: That train was cool. It was like a naked, invisible dress.
 
Lana Del Rey: I’m trading trains for beading with nudity.
 
Ottenberg: You’re also into boobs tonight. You told me last night that we were getting cleavage, and I’m really into it. I think the cleave is back.
 
Chuck Grant: Hell yeah.
 
Lana Del Rey: I mean, you have to work with what you have.

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

No, they look 100% natural. Also, I think Lana is over plastic surgery. 

God Knows I Tried and Swan Song acknowledgement in the span of less than a week? Welp, at least she’s finally paying respects to one of her best albums….. 7 years later
