Nothing until last minute if Summertime is any indication. 

Watch it be Christmas day and Lana hasn't said anything. Would be a true win for the grinch.

anything with the backup singers really 

 

it would be a cover I discovered! Mariah covers her own songs all the time

She's not gonna delay the album that's meant to be an apology for delaying her other album. If she does, then she owes us a third album as another apology.

I could see a single from this coming this week if she’s gonna perform on Kimmel. She’s obviously not giving stuff much promo these days so it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s not announced till the day it’s out. Maybe eclipse will have some tea this week. 
 

(all hopeful thinking I’m aware)

Can’t wait to hear her December album........

The way I forgot this iconic song, shame on me

 

 

She has already done it once, so why not? Imagine hearing this in full HQ studio quality:

I will laugh when this also gets delayed. An album released to tide people over because of a delay getting delayed.  Only Lana could pull it off!

coming from the same girl who announced the album while still waiting for the poetry book she announced as ‘Jan 4th’

An iconic song about Elvis Presley 

 

This song would fit Lana better than her favorite sweater 

 

 

"Black Velvet"

 

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell

Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high

Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder

The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

 

Black velvet and that little boy's smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please

 

Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave

White lightning, bound to drive you wild

Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl

"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle

The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

 

Black velvet and that little boy's smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please

 

Every word of every song that he sang was for you

In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could

You do?

 

Black velvet and that little boy's smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please

 

Black velvet and that little boy's smile

Black velvet with that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees

Black velvet if you please

If you please, if you please, if you please

Almost every Patsy Cline song is so well known, over-covered and overplayed that I can't imagine anyone doing anything fresh with any of them. Many of her songs have become, unfortunately, 'camp classics,' that draw titters instead of hearts and ears. Maybe LDR could cover Cline's 'Strange' or 'Why Can't He Be You?', and make those work. 

 

If it's an album of standards, I hope she covers one or more of the following:

 

So In Love 

Love Is A Many Splendored Thing 

The Shadow of Your Smile 

'Round Midnight 

All The Things You Are

Last Night When We Were Young 

Skylark 

When Your Lover Has Gone 

Stormy Weather 

Laura 

 

Look at the lyrics to 'Round Midnight; pure Lana. And as it's a slow, burning piece of classic jazz, it should be right in her wheelhouse. 

 

It begins to tell 'round midnight, 'round midnight.
I do pretty well till after sundown.
Supper time I'm feelin' sad
But it really gets bad 'round midnight.
Memories always start 'round midnight, 'round midnight 
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
When my heart is still with you
And ol' midnight knows it too.
When a quarrel we had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending?
Darlin', I need you; lately I find
You're out of my heart and I'm out of my mind.
Let our hearts take wings 'round midnight, midnight
Let the angels sing for your returning
Till our love is safe and sound
And old midnight comes around.

As excited as I was to get COTCC, I still am really excited to get this cute little ep soon!

I don't think that American Standards & Classics album is coming anymore. They probably realized after Summertime The Gershwin Version that no one really cares. They're gonna release the chemtrails single with a music video instead
