Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[OverYourHead 6,269]

MAC is iconic

Venice Bitch is my life

The name of this album is...atrocious. No.

[Beautiful Loser 48,808]

im so excited for the background of this forum to change so it fits the theme of the era

She’s sent me to outer space with these songs so the theme suits my mood pretty well lol. xD

[Lustrouslines 5,202]

well i think lana has made it clear that she doesn’t give a single shit about radio success or mainstream success. she has a strong fanbase and that’s enough for her to pay her bills. she’s a big name in the industry anyways and she really doesn’t need a hit to sell or gain streams. just say you don’t like the song and go, there’s no need to bring people down just cause they like something you don’t.

the song is beautiful and it’s clearly what lana wants to do right now, so accept it and move on.

stream norman fucking rockwell.

exactly, like if LFL wasn't her mainstream success? the headlining festivals? the tour that grossed 45 million? the NUMBER 1 album she gained recently... how ignorant can someone be to say that interscope will drop lana. making it seem as if she's been living under a rock with her art/albums and not trying to be out there. seriously though she has all the right to turn to a more stripped back, low budget album with uniqueness to the concept.

WTF JUST REALIZED SHE RELEASED THE VIDEO TOO. AESTHETIC  

[Edelgard 1,819]

the second half of the song is the best thing i ever heard in my life

The video is cute. Way better, IMO, than the MAC one. Very vintage and trippy, like the song.

They probably love her, I bet they have dozens of artists who cause them nothing but problems who they have to push to create music and always have to give money or who are always asking for money and who cause all kind of controvesy and problems. Lana is pretty smart, usually drama free apart from small things and she works on new music constantly probably even on her own with her own money. Then as you said her music sells pretty well(worldwide) and she has no problem selling tickets and is always one of the top people at festivals. You couldn't possibly want a better artist to work with.

I haven't listened to Venice Bitch but honestly the idea of almost 10 minutos of music is... freaking me out in a good and bad way. God let it be better than Cruel World.

For me, it's just that it's personally so beautiful, finding the grittiness in the strangest of places, and of course, time driving by, or like watching from the passenger's side, at freeways, when there's traffic, how people just live while they're seated going somewhere. It's like easy people watching imo 

 

Genuinely in love with it. For me, it's like they almost compliment each other. MAC is a bit more polished through lack of color, but VB is more on a softer feminine side. 

 

Idk which to choose atm if we even have to ah

I'm spazzing I love how in her interview she was all nonchalant, and lighthearted. We love a happy humorous, life-enjoying kween NORMAN FUCKING ROCKWELL only Lana could properly pull that all off - 

[softcore babyface 4,376]

Honesty I think a lot of people forget that Lana has appeal to more than just pop listeners, there are so many genres of music where 5-10 songs are the norm. These two songs are getting a lot of praise outside of the pop-sphere.

[ilovetati 15,298]

Interscope only has a few mainstream artists, but you think they’d drop Lana who has earned them millions?

 

This website is so damn dumb.

[HoneyViolence 1,063]

interscope would really be shotgunning that dumb bitch juice if they dropped their most authentic career artist with one of the largest and most dedicated cult followings

This

[white gold 4,242]

k I listened to VB like 10 more times, and it's honestly so fucking amazing. 

[DinahLee 6,193]

Fuck the song is incredible. For sure it's a mood thing because not always will be here for 4 minutes of almost nothing but guitars, but for sure it's a classic for her career.

 

New closing song confirmed cuz she won't even need the band to jam to go downstairs and hug the fans. 

[hitnrun017 38]

Venice Bitch is without a doubt the best thing she has ever put out. I had to come out of hibernation just to say it. Holy fuck it is perfect.

[rumandrit 292]

10 minutes long = no streaming points

no catchiness = no radio support

 

People wont buy this album and Interscope will drop her after this album. Mark my words. Your pretentiousness will come back to bite u in the ass.

 

Sign off Halsey.
