Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[Lustrouslines 5,202]

what if her cover with steven klein is a maternity shoot LMAOOO

 

Lana would BREAK the fucking internet if she has a maternity shoot. Imagine this icon that has started the ERA for vintage indie cool shit becoming a pregnant woman. Everybody would flip. Also, i can see her collaborating with Klein for a shoot like this because he captures the raw feelings of people

I could def imagine Lana going to a sperm bank. I'm not saying she's old...but she's in her 30's now so it wouldn't be far fetched if she doesn't want to wait around for 'the one' to have a child with. I think Lana is pretty maternal and she wants kids some day so who knows? Although realistically she was probably just bloated at the event last night, which is why she probably hid her stomach.

Yeah i doubt she's pregnant

 

But honestly if she is, I think it'd be better for her to have a kid from a sperm bank. I don't want what happened to Britney to happen to her. Kevin Federline makes 20,000$ a month off Britney, and just last year asked for more luckily the judge said no but yeah I don't want our girl paying buttloads to some wannabe rapper/singer. We all know she ain't got the best taste in men but she probably are taco bell last night and was bloated from like a spicy bean

When will her label realise she is an independent woman capable of creating her own artistic vision, and that she writes music SHE wants to write?

If Interscope is demanding a "single-friendly" song, then why can't they just let her be or just drop her? Her single-friendly songs are often her worst (Lust for Life and Coachella I'm looking at you)

 

Well, it's a weird era we are in and she can't do what she pleases. True, we have more independent music coming out, streaming (a platform that suits Lana very well) bring new cash in,  and yet, the big singers bringing a lot of cash are all radio-friendly. True, BTD has done and is still doing incredibly well. But all of her albums have not sold as much or weren't streamed as much as this one (LFL is her second biggest success, despite our critiques of it here).

Interscope is a big record company that gives a lot of creative outlet to their artists, and yet they are a record company and they want to make cash. They let her record with Jack (which must be a big investment; don't know for sure, but he is super popular and must cost a lot to produce a record), the songs out so far have been praised in the press and yet, there are apparently no single-friendly songs on it. They let her release a 10-minute fan track, so they kinda expect some single at some point I guess. And HIaB doesn't really do it probably. 

Dan Auerbach stated that Interscope wanted more single-friendly songs when they recorded UV. The only thing that stopped it from happening was Adele's producer, which was brought on board to write new things with her, and he thought the album was perfect as is. And it went number 1. With that success, Interscope let her do her «vanity project»: HM. and yet, she had to pen a single: HBTB (not a bad choice, to be honest). With LFL, she knew she wanted to come back to more «single-friendly» songs and it was decided very early on that Love and the title track would be singles. And LFL went number 1 plus it got a big tour, which probably gave her some latitude for NFR. 

So, she has a lot of liberties when it comes to creating, writing and recording. But she can't do what the hell she wants all the time, she has to answer to questions from her record company. And for all of us who are screaming injustice, go check Britney's career in retrospective : Lana would win Miss Liberty award anytime soon lol.

I hate Kevin Federline with every ouce of my being 

And if the same thing happened to Lana I would probably kill the guy

I know it's not NFR-related at all, But I'll explain a bit what I wanted to say.

 I don't even blame Britney herself for the lack of liberty and control she has had over her career. She was brought too young too soon in a complex system where she was given a lot of cash and exposure. Her first album had a very specific format: she had to be the radio pop singer with both innocence and sexual innuendo. It was catchy, but sure wasn't letting her pull the strings on her career. As we all know, she had many breakdowns over the years (who wouldn't, with everything she  went through), but I remember someone who was interviewed from her entourage when she was recording one of her comeback albums and her company feared she was gonna go off the rails again : she was brought in by her father, there were studio people with her all of the time with the producers, and she was escorted to her house afterwards, with her father watching over her so she wouldn't do anything «stupid». It's not really what I call creative liberty.

The last thing I want for Lana is fucking baby daddy drama... I wish she could find a good man with a good heart and good intentions <3

[PARADIXO 32,927]

The only interesting stuff we'll get this month is re. her show in New Orleans - she might announce something or perform something new?

 

lol you know how many times we were expecting her to announce smth at shows that casually took place in strategical dates?

Her taste in men is very questionable though...

The album is not coming.

 

The estate of Norman Rockwell is suing Lana and her label over the album title.

 

Her label will not allow the album to be released unless Lana changes the name.

 

Lana is refusing to change the title.

 

RIP NFR.

Facts? or speculation

[baddisease 17,892]

Facts? or speculation

 

it's pure speculation

She renamed Sylvia Plath to hope is a dangerous thing, so there's no reason she couldn't rename Norman Fucking Rockwell if necessary.

[Flowerbomb 65,593]

Petition for Lana to rename the album Mark Fucking Ryden, I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

plus she only renamed SP because HIADT was more representative of the song
