The single version of FIILY fits so much more VB and Cinnamon Girl (from what i’ve Heard) than the CD version...

That’s actually funny bc I was disregarding TOW since it was a cover and I don’t care too much for FMWUTTT and MPG as much as those other tracks I’d named.

 

I still feel like my rating rn stands with UV > NFR > HM just bc I like the sounds she played with on NFR it almost fits right next to HM. Hell I’m sure HM will swap places with NFR every so often

If she included Flipside and Your Girl on the record, I would be 100% in agreement that UV is her best album. I just can't say that with FMWUTTT, which I would probably consider one of her worst songs to date. I genuinely love every track from NFR in different ways, so for me, it has topped UV in terms of the record as a whole.

The lyrics on both verses of HIAB are so ignorable, but the way she sings them make it my favorite song

Stay on topic please!

some of y'all really gassed up Jack way too much, it's just jack doing rick and dan abuerbach shshdkss shit while adding synthesizers y'all were acting like he's a genius phew 

 

agreed. After relistening to the beats 1 LfL interview I think most of the appeal of working with Jack for her is that he'll bang out a couple of chords, she'll do some beat poet stuff and just write whatever comes to her head, they'll mess around for a bit while sharing a blunt and then boom, you have a song (with a few exceptions like hope, which is why it stands out lyrically, and bartender / tnbar which weren't produced by Jackoff). Rick seemed a bit more serious in terms of songwriting and truly perfecting it, and Dan seemed to challenge her and at times disagree with her, and while that wouldn't be as fun in the creation process it definitely makes for better music imo. papa nowels wouldn't have that classic lfa tapping. It's fine that she's into Jack at the moment though. She seems to be in a place where that is the type of creative energy she wants. I just hope in the future she goes back to wanting more of a creative challenge, but I doubt it.

Well guess I got my first warning

[Jared 3,130]

 But the folks at Universal Music have put everything into Eilish. They postponed Lana del Rey's new album, I'm told, so Eilish could soar.

Getting disrespected like this at this stage of her career is pathetic.

 

The album was finished for a year and she wasn't allowed to release it.

 

And some fans here are celebrating and supporting Universal/Interscope bullying her and trying to cheapen her art.  

 

She needs to find new label or go independent asap!

I get what you mean, Your Girl & Flipside are 2 of my favorite tracks from her so I get it (but that’s kind of why I extended my UV to include them lolol)

Cheapening her art when they've funded several big budget videos of hers & she's the one who confessed she sends her managers iPhone selfies for single/album covers

Still wondering if it was just a region-specific track or if it was a pressing error.

Joe met me down at the training yard

 

Cuts on his face cause he fucked too hard

 

EDIT: @mods Did someone remove my Gretchen gif?

On California I wish she had sung the "We'll do whatever you want..." part only once after the second chorus and make it a bridge.

I was referring to music. I don't give a fuck about covers and videos.

 

They're cheapening her music with radio mixes and other edits and they have been doing so since forever.

 

She needs a label who will appreciate her for who she is.

Videos are an integral part of Lana's art. Always have been, stemming all the way back to her DIY home ones. Get used to it.

 

Thankfully, Lana wanted the drums in the single version of FIILY. Ah, she made the right choice too. Bless. 

During the premiere on BBC Radio 1, Lana explained the background of Fuck It I Love You:

 

That one was the last track I did for the record and I wanted also something with some surf drums, so we did that last and it’s just little of a mood track and I knew I wanted to do a video where I was surfing in it. So it was more of a fun thing to put together.

 

Wow. When will Schoolboy Q   

[13bitches 6,176]

Wait what’s this about a single version of FIILY. Are there two mixes?

 

EDIT: omg the album version is such a vibe

[Jared 3,130]

Lana and Interscope are heading in two very different directions. Time to say goodbyes!

[LanaCharts 1,980]

Billie has build her career off sympathy and payola

[Valerie 1,379]

Lana and Interscope are heading in two very different directions. Time to say goodbyes!

 

But thankfully, whether they part ways or not, history stands to attest the fact that Lana said she chose to have those drums in FIILY. The correct decision, the right decision.
