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

[Lustformoney 41,443]

10 days till new album

[necessary sacrifice 8,865]

I really really hope we actually get this album. The closer we get, the more I’m worried she’ll delay it. The only time I was ever genuinely upset about a delay was January 4th when she didn’t release Violet and only mentioned the delay that day. And the closer we get to xmas, the more I’m worried it’s gonna be a repeat of that and we won’t get the standards album and she won’t tell us til xmas day. In the back of my head, I have to tell myself it’s not coming to avoid disappointment if it really doesn’t.

I don't think she'll release nothing around christmas. She's aware of all the broken promises. I'm sure we'll get at least one more cover in the vein of Summertime

Don't lose hope people! It's coming on Christmas morning like a present under the tree.

I still have hope for it, but this isn’t a now thing, sis was real messy with Tropico, was okay with UV and HM but LFL onwards has been bumpy 

[Churchome Rep 3,381]

It probably fits her aesthetic way less but imagine a Lana musicals cover album 

 

You’ll Never Walk Alone & You Must Love Me are great covers already

[littleredpartydress 49,871]

She definitely recorded like one song for this, got bored and then forgot about it entirely

NO, she has to pull through with the covers album! Otherwise she ruins christmas, and Lana simply cannot afford that.

Agree. It’d be real jacked up to delay the thing your releasing because of the delay of the other thing you were supposed to have released 4 months ago.

 

I have hope for March, though, regarding cocc.

Since we know Lana will heavily feature the lovely background vocalists on this record, I hope the sonic landscape of the records sounds like this!

 

I can totally hear this sound in Summertime the Gershwin Version and Zach Dawes even posted a picture of a cello to his Instagram stories - he even played it in the live performance of LMLYLAW on Fallon. 

 

If there's any opportunity for Lana to delve more into that '50s/'60s doo-wop sound, it's definitely with this record! I love the downtempo version of this song compared to the album version (although I love that one too) and the slow & sultry moodiness of it all is just so Lana!

i really hope lana brings more of her sound/sonic world into the rest of the covers– summertime is such a traditional cover in that it doesn't really add anything new to the story of the song. i can appreciate lana staying true to the source material but i so much love the other woman and the good life and was hoping for more of that sound on this record. which i am choosing to believe will come out before the end of the year bc
