"American Standards & Classics" Cover Album - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

[DCooper 36,916]

Omg this is exciting! We have no reason to doubt right? We need this win!!

 

I truly love this song, one of my favourites, and though it's so often covered, it's a perfect fit for Lana and our first taste of this covers album! I wonder how much she'll make the instrumentals her own, or if she'll stick closely to the originals and let her voice carry the power.

Kind of an overdone song, but I’m honestly surprised we don’t already have a Lana version of it, it’s such a “her” song to cover. I’m looking forward to it! Glad this is actually coming to fruition because I was very doubtful at first. 

Same! Since no date she gives seems to come through, that cover album almost seemed too good to be true.

[Rorman Nockwell 56,718]

Oh so this is why she was fighting on Twitter and posting rando Gucci on her story

 

[Lustformoney 41,443]

Omg i never heard this song so its a new lana single for me

[mypolaroidfrown 618]

Is Heart Shaped Box considered an American classic standard?  

[bel air rose 11,630]

omg 

1. she wasn’t lying YESSSS

2. a high budget single cover??????? shook. 

3. she just recently followed george strait so it’s possible she may cover one of his songs for this album

 

[lanasbottom 23,694]

the fact Ajay thought Doin Time was a cover of Summertime and now she’s doing a real cover of Summertime AFTER doing Doin Time A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT

eclipse’s description of single cover as v 70s hippie which I am interpreting as a clue to how Lana will interpret the song

Omg I thought that was her song originally... I LOVE that song... THATS what Lana’s covering?! 

[The Greatest 8,805]

"lets put out a cover of summertime randomly in november for a christmas covers album when ive already covered a cover of it" checks out 

[Get Drunk 17,971]

not sure if this has been covered before but what exactly constitutes an American classic or standard like .. can we expect only the old vintage songs or would some more modern songs count? like surely all I want for Christmas by Mariah Carey is an American classic

idk what lana's interpretation of classic or standard is but the commonly understood version is the great american songbook type stuff, gershwin, cole porter etc. i could def see lana extending this out to some 60s/70s classics too
