Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[YourPoetryIsBad 89]

Also California sounds like she was desperately trying to produce something similar to Ultraviolence but failed. Great song still

[Chorli Xbox 8,822]

Billboard putting The Blackest Day at #80     

 

The 'I got you where I want you' part in the bridge always makes me feel like a bad bitch

First review is a 4/5. They are very tough scorers, so that’s really great!

 

Oh wow oh wow

Omg they throw an Ani Difranco comparison in there. Tori Amos and Fiona Apple get shout outs too. My gay heart is full.

[Fingertips 72,034]

That BB list is one of the coldest takes I have ever seen

"This album comes out right at the Grammys deadline. Do you care about the Grammys?

Uhhh … yes, I care. But I’m better staying in the process of things. What day is the Grammys deadline?

The day after your album comes out.

Hm! Yeah, I mean … Well … Yeah, I care. [Laughs]"   IM-

New interview too

 

 

 

I’m really not more of a liberal than I am a Republican — I’m in the middle. 

 

 

[Chorli Xbox 8,822]

Am i the only one who unconsciously hears ''Hey man!''/''Alright'' from Born to Die at the end of Cinnamon?  It sounds eerily similar, did she sample it or something? 

 

Yesterday I mashuped BTD and Cinnamon and the chorus fits really nicely as well!

[WildMustang 14,759]

"First of all, I really, really like Ariana. I had been listening to “Dangerous Woman” a lot. I got her number at some point and we would chat. And then “Thank U, Next” came out and I freaking loved that record. Every song, I was like, how did she write that? So when she asked me to do the “Charlie’s Angels” feature, I was like, “All right, if you really want me to!”

[LanaCharts 1,980]

And that’s why Tayliberal Swift will block her from #1!

[Amadeus 11,333]

 

On “The Greatest,” you sing about missing rock ’n’ roll. Do you think rock is dead or dying?

...

I was [...] just listening to Kings of Leon, that song “Milk,” or like White Stripes and the Strokes. [...] Maybe I should’ve said indie rock.

[Obduration 6,548]

That interview was tasty thank you lana and nyt

[Formation 4,182]

Lana truly is a mess of a person, which I think is why I love her so much. Also not that Moby thing being completely true

[PARADIXO 32,934]

Can someone please transcribe the NY Times interview? I have to register and I don't want to.

 

Anyway, did I miss anything else? 

[Vertimus 9,549]

It's a good album, but to act as if Lana is re-inventing a whole genre or venturing into unknown territory is fucking laughable.

 

 

Bravo!
