01. Angels Forever, Forever Angels

02. Unidentified Flying Bill (ft. Barrie-James)

03. Old Money (Demo)

04. Black Beauty (Demo)

05. Wild One

06. He Hits Me Because He Loves Me

Tracklist:

01. Melancholia

02. Your Girl

03. Fuck My Way

04. I Talk To Jesus (Remake)

05. Summertime

06. Dragonslayer

08. Cult Leader

Since "Cherry Blossom", "Living Legend" & "Nectar of the Gods" are all copy pasted from the leaks & officially released, i consider these songs in Blue Banisters era then.

 

So what do you guys think?

@SalvaWHORE it’s not talked about enough but I think You & Me could be considered “Tropico era” too

wait. Now thanks to u I JUST NOTICED the instrumental has the same chord progession & overall melody of Tropico theme 😭😭😭

 

but btw, i think this belongs to either pre-BTD era or Before The Paradise since it was recorded in 2011

It seems a number of UV outtakes talk about how she was tired of touring, not happy with how her fame has gone and how she was treated (LMLYLAW demo, Your Girl, Madly, Melancholia, etc) which always gets to me so much. There's a huge shift in tone between BTD/Paradise outtakes, and the UV ones.

 

But I can kinda see how she also didn't want them on the final UV cut. Maybe fear of being criticised for her honesty yet again, people blaming her for the way she felt. Or maybe naturally she changed how she felt about it. I wonder what led her to putting more "sad about relationships" songs on UV instead. There's so much vulnerability in both, but I suppose she'd already faced backlash from expressing one of them. why not do it again, and even harder.

 

Whatever it was, I am so sorry for how she felt around that time and what she had to go through. I still want to hear more of her side.

It must have been scrapped in November 2012 already. She literally had THIS as the description of the now archived/deleted Bel Air visualizer uploaded on November 8, 2012 (shortly before she talked about her plans to male a short film for G&M and Bel Air):

"i lost my reputation, i forgot my truth. But i have my beauty and i have my youth. Tropico the film, coming next year".

From what I remember from BoZ in this thread back in january said, Paradise was actually commissioned by her label because they wanted a re-release of BTD to boost sales, ala The Fame (Monster). The songs on Paradise were songs she was working on for a full album (tropico), and were the ones that were actually full songs and not just ideas. The tropico film, althought just an idea in November 2012, probably would've included more songs like I Talk To Jesus, as ITTJ was almost included on the Tropico EP, and she presumably wanted to include even more songs on it. 

It seemed that Tropico was a film and project, that probably would've been most of Paradise along with late 2012-early 2013 outtakes, had the label not pushed her to reissue BTD. Since she wanted to include some songs like ITTJ on the Tropico EP, Tropico was probably going to be a full album/longer EP with many of those songs on that notebook photo, with some of those perhaps being in the film (think K-12 by Melanie Martinez).

Yes please

This is the album tracklist and cover I made. It's cover is inspired by the Julie London album "Julie is Her Name", because both that album, and my Lana album include a cover of Cry Me A River

Have been meaning to make a back cover for a physical version with the tracklisting, and I would highlight either in text (interlude), or by colour that Coca Colla an Hangin' Around are interludes

But all of this (along with the very confusing timeline) still sounds like speculation. 💀

True, but until someone sits down on record with Lana to get a timeline of this (which i honestly she will even remember clearly :bebe:) , or we get some more info and leaks, i think im gonna personally go with the belief that Tropico was gonna be her second studio album, and any hope of Tropico as an album/ large EP died with the Summer 2013 leaks (which is also my own speculation, but the way she talked about feeling disheartened about the direction of the album makes it seem like whatever project she was working on in late 2012-mid2013 was scrapped after those leaks)

It's the laptop demo as the original didn't have an instrumental. Its verses are from Television Heaven, so I felt right to put it after television heaven as an outro, and it leads right into BBM Baby which is a fun switchup from acapella into synthy pop

And this has just confused everything once again :deadbanana: Boz stated that paradise and tropico songs were not for the same project
