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

[Mer 51,378]

Dark, ethereal, moody version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" please!

[Thunder Revenant 20,654]

I really hope she does some Billie Holiday. There have been so many great takes on those tracks and I could see Lana setting another milestone for that legacy

Still hoping she’ll cover this some day!

Yes! Hover, I hope that it would not be a straightforward cover over a minimalistic backdrop, but that she'd add some unique twist to it, since the song in itself is already pretty "Lana-ish"

Something that would make it her version of the track, and not just "Lana Del Rey singing Billie Holiday's I'll Be Seeing You"

[Let the Light In 15,139]

Is there any chance of her surprise releasing this album as digital only for Christmas next week? No?

she's the only pop girlie i trust to bring the angst and sorrow  and hopelessness to it that Judy always sang it with

I honestly want an album of just Billie Holiday covers

I realize how unlikely it is but I can’t shake the feeling that we might actually get the covers album this xmas  esp if she was recording at capitol and it’s somehow not on label, she could just release it digitally as a surprise. everyday I think about her mentioning the fact that she loves harry nilsson will be important “later this year” 

[bluechemtrails 22,741]

If she doesn't release it so soon, it could probably get really really good. I kind of have a feeling that this album is going to blow us away when it comes out.

i know it’s not “american” but she should cover joni mitchell 

[Surf Noir 188,276]

when i open up lanaboards on christmas morning & i see the post release thread for the covers album & multiple leak threads for honeymoon/lfl era outtakes & demos  

[Super Movie 50,262]

I've been wanting this project since it was Pacific Blue  Lana is so good at covering songs and making them her own, an entire album of that would be stellar. There's no way we're getting it this Christmas, but maybe we will next year (delusion)

[Liz Taylor Blues 17,610]

but the very same day

lana said nay

this year we’ll all be in tears

waiting for a special
