Yes! Even with just a digital release I’d rip the songs on a CD and use this cover. I live for your cover arts. So creative and talented

This is absolutely gorgeous!!!!

 

Reminds me of Honeymoon era which makes me think that Honeymoon kind of sounded like an American classics cover album with certain songs such as Salvatore, The Blackest Day, etc.

Aww, thank you so much!! That’s too kind, you’re so sweet <3  

 

And on the topic of that, I know she said it’s just a digital release for Christmas but I hope she eventually presses it to vinyl!  Lana always sounds so good on vinyl and with the classics that she’ll be covering (most of which were probably first released on vinyl) it’d be so wrong to not have a physical record! <3

Thank you so much!! <3 and I definitely agree - I love what she said about Honeymoon being influenced by “the Golden Age of Jazz” when she first announced it, and I definitely hear some of that influence in her vocal inflections on that record, as well as the little saxophone ornamentations and chord progressions on some of the songs you listed! Judging by Lana’s recent take on Summertime, we kind of lucked out because she could very well continue in that direction and further develop that lounge-y sound, especially since she’s been working with those background vocalists! I remember when Honeymoon came out, she even said in an interview that on the upcoming tour she’d like to have background singers accompany her, like Whitney Houston’s shows, and even though she added Alex and Ashley to her crew after that, we never got a true Lana + backing vocalists moment - until now! So excited! <3

Thank you so much!! <3 and I do have a thread with all my edits! I should probably start posting in there first instead of clogging other threads up with my stuff  (sorry, everyone!) - but that’s really sweet of you to say, thank you!!

It's finally time that we get a studio version of her singing " Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and I need  her to cover " Wonderwall" by Oasis but that will not happen on this cover album since they aren't american

 Beautiful! I was just thinking how that selfie could be the cover of the album.

The vynils for this album getting ready for their shipment on December 25

Kacey Musgraves posted her duet with Lana “I’ll be home for Christmas” from her last year’s show on Twitter and IG stories.

Here’s hoping a full studio version comes soon. ?

Lana could serve this song so deliciously.

God this is such an amazing song. and its so Lana. God please. 

[Thunder Revenant 20,943]

At this point I'm more excited about this project than Chemtrails. I feel like she will be much more daring with it, as it's 'just a side project'. Less risk of her overthinking stuff.

Summertime was so much better in terms of production, vocal delivery and overall rollout than LMLYLAW

[fantascination 1,308]

So if she’s doing American classics, I think there’s like a 90% chance Springsteen’s I’m On Fire will be in there. Right? It’s pretty in line with Lana thematically, too.

ugh I could only wish for a studio version, I actually like the live one she did 2012 but feel like a lot of others don't. the start makes me want a cover of Toms diner  v excited for this project.
