[Creyk 11,743]

someone bring her Billie's brother to produce her next album

Ok this needs to happen.

[cherryblossoms 10,433]

it's done now. she started posting these snippets a year ago. she could have reworked some of these songs completely

Lana’s definition of reworking songs terrifies me

[movebaby 5,379]

.........................................................................Fine China is one of her best lyrical pieces of all time..........................

"Gold silver" where is the logic? They are literally two completely different elements

Girl if that’s a problematic lyric to you, how are you surviving NFR

[honey dew 11,801]

snippet is incredibly depressing and beautiful. there is a distinct lack of brain cells here. go listen to billie the reductive eyelash

[honey dew 11,801]

the way she’s singing is so heartbreaking and authentic i’m actually thinking like .. some of you really just dont GET it do you and thats ok there are many mindless pop products for you to enjoy

Oh we get it, we're just tired of it. We don't have to like everything she releases.

[GeminiLanaFan 49,436]

This don't sound like Red Hot Chili Peppers, surf or Seargent Peppers I want my money back

 

At this point, I only expect 4 songs total with beats / surf influences. Including VB and Cinnamon. 

This is what I was thinking, too. I got excited with MAC and VB, where are the guitarssss I need themmmm. These ballads are such a snoozefest maybe that's why her label won't release the damn record.

 

I don't expect much with guitars / synths for this record. Like 4 songs max. Including VB and Cinnamon. 

She did say it was introspective shit, old L.A. and that the production was in the vein of Change. 

[Beautiful Loser 49,807]

So if she’s done with this album, is she already working on the next one or..? She usually goes back to writing songs so quickly.

[13bitches 6,177]

But I can’t let you in

 

And I can’t keep you out

 

I wait for life to end

 

But it never comes around

plot twist when she was in studio with jack after december she was producing tracks for the next album and this snippet is from that and not NFR 

[Sugar Venom 9,658]

hope has always sounded/felt really draining to me so i don't listen to it very much and like i don't mind piano but what she's been doing sounds so lethargic like .... how do mac and vb fit into all of this maybe she's starting off the record in this depressed state and then it propels forward w hope (NOT the song), recovery, personal strength, determination nd self-assuredness like ending w mac, so vb could be in the middle somewhere or towards the end where she's being nostalgic but not lamenting so it's moving on? like her just being thankful she has those memories to go back to in the first place but not being mad at the person anymore because she's over it and somewhat distanced now so she has perspective or closure or something. idk i'm just rambling but i'll need some sense of resolution otherwise idk how often i could listen to this record in full :/

[deepseafishing 2,115]

i actually grew to really enjoy how stripped down hope was...HOWEVER. hope filled my ‘stripped down piano’ quota, and if we get another song like that on NFR i doubt i’ll enjoy it. one and done sis.

[Fingertips 72,053]

When she said this record would very calm with no bangers, I thought we would be getting a record in the vein of MAC/How to Disappear/IYC snippets, not piano ballads.....

[domandapiano 12,119]

^i get the sense you aren’t going to like NFR then. Lol.

 

I expect it to be primarily stuff like hope and in your car and the new snippet and happiness is a butterfly. I’m stoked because I think it’s stuff like this where her true voice shines. BtD is great but she can’t actually sing well in that lower register most of time live so I’m fine with her ditching it. Of course she doesn’t need to give up beats and synths and all that to sing in a different register but piano is the best instrument so I’m not mad she’s using it.
