LDR Album Process Discussion

shouldve asked this in my original post : 
@BlackoutZone : I know youre a fan of Dua Lipa, can you confirm that in 2021 she recorded a song which sampled Lana's Diet Mountain Dew?

I think it’s the final with backing vocals 

 

Thanks!! I hadn’t heard it in a while and forgot how beautiful it was  (although this is surely pretty much the whole song)

this has got me wondering why do we want it to leak so bad… yes it’s low quality but it’s clearly the full song since the video of her recording it and this video both end at the same point 

[palemoonbaby 15,104]

@BlackoutZone thanks for everything king

[Venice Peach 54,293]

So were the (I guess fan favorites) that she reworked in 2018 for an actual unreleased compilation or was she just considering some old tracks for the next record? @BlackoutZone

 

Sorry if it was already asked, this thread goes too fast

Thank you so much @BlackoutZone for these incredible pieces of info. I imagine you’ll address this in your forthcoming post about Say Yes to Heaven and Eclipse’s leaks, but I’d love to know if what we know as “Version 1” & “Version 2” are indeed stem edits of a single version done by Rick in November 2013. Thank you so much again for sharing your insight!

@BlackoutZone I haven’t asked anything but wanted to thank you for taking time to spill on here!

[Get Drunk 17,971]

@BlackoutZoneand also @Surf Noir, is Downtown Persona an unleaked song or just an alternative title?

 

Or does it not even exist? Apparently it was teased at the same time as Super Movie, and Super Movie turned out to be real so

Also regarding Trippin over You-it’s highly possible it’s a real Lana demo made in 2011/12-the song was officially released by cheat codes last year with different production:

Some songs were being shopped to her sound that era such as diamonds by Rihanna although I’m not sure she even cut a demo.

i doubt blackoutzone would know since he's not familiar with anything pre-2012, but i don't think anybody has ever claimed that to be fake, but i really don't know much about any of those strange titles we're not sure about

[The Dragonslayer 1,074]

I think we need an ama thread for boz this thread is a mess

But let me be delulu for a moment bc the last second of the clip sounds like she’s taking another breath and she’s about to go into a beautiful second verse drenched in strings and synths as she croons about her brutal affair on Wisteria Lane

ITTJ is another essay-type post I don't have energy for right now. Not gonna lie I hate that song, never put full effort to piece its timeline together

 

Finally someone was brave enough to say it! What a horrible track, I'm sorry...

Ugh well yes there are a few, but some would literally collapse on the thought that she reworked that so I'd rather you just be surprised if something leaks one day 

 

 

Pawn Shop Blues 😩

Yes and it's not only that, it's kinda a pattern throughout her career!

Each time Lana wrote a song with Rick, but it was released with/alongside someone else's production, but she still liked the demo, she would finish it with Rick and release as radio mix.

Radio mixes of Dark Paradise and Summertime Sadness are both finished Rick demos  

 

I knew it, both DP and SS demos were so similar to each other demos, thank god king Nowels blessed us with the best SS version yet (Extended Radio Mix)

[West Coast 45,795]

It's just insane the amount of songs that are intended for a specific record, and what actually ends up being on the album's official tracklist.
It really feels like 3:1 ratio.
