LDR Album Process Discussion

[Deleted Member 23,727]

i really don’t understand why most artists don’t just share this information themselves, people really do genuinely care about it and it can extend the life of an album cycle drastically. like imagine an artist doing a little newsletter thing where they send an essay per month on how 1 song from the album came to be and attach pictures from making it, mention specific writing and recording dates, share downloads to a few demos, etc etc. i don’t know if they just don’t care to or don’t realize how many fans are interested in hearing about the creative process

Woah, this must be what LDR.FM felt like...  I live for this kind of information, and of my list of favorite artists, it's always been hardest to gain any kind of clarity with Lana.

i need the same energy for Kesha

hell i would even pay for something like this, even like a substack newsletter where subscribers have to pay a monthly fee. it would be so cool

[taco truck 32,811]

I can't even think of more questions to ask

Didn't Kimbra have a patreon for a hot sec? Didn't seem to end well 

[The Siren 30,517]

@BlackoutZone which version(s) of LFL were recorded in 2014/2015?

are there any other songs released for an album have demos recorded during an earlier album's sessions?

These days in LB learning about all the creative process behind Lana’s music have to be one of my favorites ever 

It makes me love Lana more than I already love 😭❤️

Same , my brain feels like a fried potato  

It feels kinda surreal that we got so much info but very very grateful for it

I love the concept but i fear it will be incredibly inauthentic if an artist ever did it, and it would end up being written by random interns. 
 

BOZ’s insight is so valuable beyond words tbh

[Deadly Nightshade 12,805]

I’m listening to some of her unreleased songs atm and they got me feeling emotional , does she even realize the immense talent she possesses in making music?  

[taco truck 32,811]

@BlackoutZone was the released version of I Can Fly the version that was considered for BB? Or was there a different version 

 

edit: either way I can't believe she contemplated putting an officially released song from 2014 on her 2022 album

[The Siren 30,517]

could we also perhaps get a confirmation if any of these unconfirmed titles are real or not?

the only title in the list that has a note refrencing post-2012 eras is Future Jazz (Honeymoon)

oh my god don't get me started on this she was vile for how she ended it. so vile to the point where she had to email 60 of her fans and send them stems and songs as apology

idk, it doesn’t have to be. Maggie Rogers sends out newsletters with essays about the creative processes for random songs every once in a while, it’s definitely authentic and written by her from the heart lol, it’s too personal to not have been. i just wish it was taken further. i’m very grateful for all of the info BOZ has shared, but it any case i think it would always be more interesting to hear it from lana herself, plus we don’t really have any idea about the morality of how he knows everything he does so a part of me feels kind of weird about it, despite again being very grateful all of these mysteries are being solved. but Lana would never talk about what we’ve learned yesterday and today, and would never do anything remotely like my suggestion either so it doesn’t really matter, she doesn’t even take the time to write out the full lyrics for her album booklets anymore
