speaking of this, isn’t she physically releasing that cover for the soundtrack soon? 

 

what if this release tomorrow turns out to be that 

you’ll never walk alone? 

 

I know that comes out dec 4th or 1st I cant remember. i’m honestly surprised that wasnt the lead single for the cover album

Lana releases a single called summertime at the end of November

lana using a Billie Holiday-esque trash selfie cover for an original song from her highly anticipated NFR followup but using a high budget serve for a cover song taken from a lowkey release is just.... smh

bullying works. we should thank the insta gays

[lanasgirl 3,800]

The original song began playing and all I could hear in my head was Lana's "Doin' Time" cover.

Why did she choose to release a summer song in fall, right before winter?

Regardless, I'm excited!!!

I'm not even capable of thinking this way anymore

It's just me Lana and no expectations when it comes to logic with her

That's because You'll never walk alone is for another project, Liverpool FC's documentary.

Because she's latina

I could care less about the cover. Lana's voice will make the track shine. This is a standard that has been done a million times and the melody is perfect for her. This isn't some high school kid at a talent show. It's Lana Del Rey!!!!!

do we know what time today this is coming out?

this is also a rly interesting decision though to launch two eras concurrently? I'm intrigued to see what the visuals will look like for both of the albums and how much they'll differ.

 

Really hope she includes that cover of For Free by Joni Mitchell she performed with Zella Day and Weyes Blood though :-0

I don't know if this was all a well thought out "decision". More likely Lana crashing into herself as usual. 6 months after covid-19 is gone she'll probably have "Born to Die" masks for sale.

ngl I read that title as Summertime Sadness (George Gershwin cover) 

I'm actually excited! I left LB for a day and I get news, what's better than that, huh?

[LanzDelRey 528]

Is she gonna release this at same time with Miley x Dua ?

Why don't you ask UMG Thai? 

Jk, it's likely since they'll both drop @ midnight GMT so yeah

One of my fav versions of Summertime:

 

 
so excited to be getting another Lana track so soon after LMLYLAW! I know this fall if not the CoCC era we wanted/were expecting but tbh I’ll take random singles over radio silence every single time!

i completely agree! Plus it’s more than just random singles, it’s a whole album  would I have liked to jam to COTCC sep 5th like she said? Yes, 100%! But we just got an audiobook album/poetry book, buzz single for the album, and a whole new album coming in a little over a month! 
 

It’s strange to me that people aren’t more exited about this. Hopefully once COTCC releases and everyone who is annoyed/frustrated over everything happening currently, they’ll come back to this album. 
 

 

also, as an American, don’t take the ‘American classics’ so literally  I probably haven’t heard any of the songs she’s covering and music (overall) doesn’t have a geographic location (patriotic/national pride songs aside, but that’s not what she’s covering) saying ‘American Classics’ is incredibly on brand for her, but shouldn’t be taken as literally as some are taking it
