Minor General Questions that Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

[LiamViljoen 908]

Paradise has officially 8 tracks

Yaaaaas but it has 9 altogether (and it would've had ten if she hadn't offered Y&B to Baz Luhrmann) so why didn't they just release it as a seperate record?

[BENTLEY 3,495]

Why was Paradise released as an addition to BTD? Why was it marketed as an EP at all? 9 songs is enough for an individual record. Did her label not think it would sell well as a seperate album?

It was supposed to be a full length LP at one point. But I don't remember why it didn't happen.

What ever happened to Lana and Jamie Kings friendship???

Well it was released as an individual record in some countries, especially those were Lana was less known. I own a copy of 'Paradise' (and not 'BTD: The Paradise Edition') myself.

Yeah that's the Paradise EP. Most re-releases like The Fame Monster, Animal + Cannibal & The Paradise Edition get also an EP only release but they're still considered EP idk why

Yaaaaas but it has 9 altogether (and it would've had ten if she hadn't offered Y&B to Baz Luhrmann) so why didn't they just release it as a seperate record?

 

It was part of the business strategy by Interscope to 'bundle' Paradise with BTD to boost BTD sales (The Paradise Edition was counted towards same BTD sales with the regular ones), and to further promote BTD for people who haven't heard of Lana (e.g. they like the song 'Ride' --> Buy The Paradise Edition --> ends up like BTD as well). And usually when they 'bundle' an album like that, it would usually be an extension, hence called an EP not an LP (called an extension an album only makes people confused why they didn't sell that separately and so on)

 

As far as I know Paradise was sold separately as an EP only in the US (CD version) and vinyl everywhere else (there isn't an The Paradise Edition vinyl - I guess you can't just sell triple vinyl?).

 

This strategy has been used by many other singers as well as someone mentioned above and from my point of view it is purely business.

 

Thank God Paradise is similar artistically to BTD otherwise LDR would have been another mainstream puppet. From interviews Lana seems to imply that she treats Paradise as an separate 'era' as well.

There ls. Paradise UV, right ?

[BENTLEY 3,495]

What?

[BlueJeans 2,606]

What?

Hahaha I'm so sorry it's the morning !! Lol, i meant : there is a Paradise Vinyl, isn't there ?

[BENTLEY 3,495]

Hahaha I'm so sorry it's the morning !! Lol, i meant : there is a Paradise Vinyl, isn't there ?

 

Yes, there is.

[Summersault 824]

So, a couple of small question for y'all... or maybe a solicitation of opinions...

 

1) That little fluttery thing that Lana does with her voice.  I really like it!  Is that something unique to her, or do other artists do that, too?  Here's a sample... at 4:06: (Yes, it's the imfamous SNL video, but it's the first example that came to mind... granted, it got better as time went on):

99% sure she's imitating Marilyn Monroe who also tended to end her phrases in that kind of "flutter".

Thanks. You weren't kidding when you said 'small'.

 

If anyone cares, I just checked with the band and this is digital only, and apparently didn't come out on CD.
