I think she'll be nominated but I don't expect her to win. It's really political and I just don't know if the good sis can get past Taylor, Ari, or even Billie ... 

I don't think being political is an issue. "this is america" was one of the big winners last year and that is as political as you can get.

Political as in ... it's a popularity contest. Popularity politics, if you will.

If not AOTY, then at least Pop vocal album, that's a good category for her too. Ugh, I just know she'll get unfairly snubbed once again

Kacey won AOTY last year so who knows.. Lana might have a shot at winning

NFR reminds me a lot of Golden Hour in the sense that it’s a perfect hybrid between styles. Dreampop country for GH and pop, folk, trap, piano whatever for NFR. The sound is really cohesive in itself and there are not really songs you can take from the album without missing something essential. With Lover you can just take out any song. Even Doin’ Time fits nicely in the first half.

Considering NFR is one of the best reviewed albums of this year I'll be really surprised if Lana isn't nominated for AOTY. I have no idea if she'll win though...

Have you noticed how Bartender, which is the only song on the album produced solely by Rick, has the WORST sounding vocals on the album? The man and his crew clearly cannot produce her vocals that well and they ended up sounding like what they do on most LFL songs (glitchy)

That's weird, because Honeymoon has some of her best sounding vocals.

I don't disagree but you gotta take into account that Honeymoon vocals were heavily edited (EQ'd, reverbed etc.) so you couldn't really tell. However in LFL where vocals are clearer you can tell (especially in songs like Change, BPBP, Heroin etc.). In Bartender you can also hear her mouth noises which is also kind of throwing me off. :toofunny:

You can hear her mouth noises in Hope too. You can even hear her breaths in Hope. I like it, it low-key turns me on
