Am I the only one who feels that this song doesn't really fit Lana? Like I can't picture her covering/singing this, it feels too jazzy???

I usually have faith in her cover skills, the Other Woman is a jazz song also, I couldn't see her covering Season of the Witch but she did it well imo

[American Whore 51,676]

I love the Janis Joplin version, I truly hope she does it similar to her, where it’s kind of in your face and scream dreamy

[Dark Angel 203,531]

ahhh i've been really into older music like the 60s / 70s lately so this is perfect and i'm living!

[caughtuboy 702]

I love Gershwin and this song, I can't wait to see what she does with it! I really hope they keep a jazz feel to it

[bel air rose 11,631]

i’ve been craving jazz lana so hard lately i pray she keeps that element to it, I have hope since it specifically says that version so.... 

[J.R.OMEGA 2,686]

Summertime has always been a fave song of mine. I'm so fucking boosted to hear Lana's rendition and for this full covers album ? if we're getting tracks like this and Patsy Cline, I'm 100% already sold. I'm kinda hoping we get an official physical release now. I'd love to have a covers album on vinyl ❤

[caughtuboy 702]

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

[Dark Angel 203,531]

i want the single cover to serve like this album cover:

wait so is the 70s cover art for the single only or for the whole album? 

[plastiscguy 63,439]

I hope this sounds good, I'm so intrigued!

[uvbabe 4,730]

Haven't heard the song yet but I'm so damn happy finally BIT$%@ This week is girls and gays christmas thanks Lana Miley Dua and Marina 

[littleredpartydress 49,883]

I just hope it’s transformed a bit. Covers when they just copy and paste the original arrangement are no better than karaoke, that’s why I have been skeptical of this album since it’s being put together so quickly.

I imagine it could sound a bit like this version of Young & Beautiful, which is honestly my favourite version of the song -

I’m completely positive she’s going to add (even if a slight) Lana twist to the songs she covers and make them her own. 
 

her best songs are the ones produced quickly without her sitting on them long

Agree, The less time Lana has to grow uncomfortable with things she’s made, the better. She’s always been an impulsive genius!

Until the QFTC era

Can I buy a CD single? I don't even know how you do this stuff anymore. Will there be a stream, or a d/l or something? 

she said she’s releasing it digitally so through spotify/apple music

Man Lana's Gatsby era was so amazing 

 

I think it's one of my favourite things she's done. It was more than a single song contributed to a film, it became a whole central element, she was fully absorbed into a world where she would absolutely exist in herself. Everything was perfect

Darn it. So I have to pay for it? 

I would think that it will most definitely make it to youtube if you don’t have a subscription to either streaming platform! tomorrow she will probably add the audio of the single to her yt channel
