i feel like songs off of paradise such as "cola" "gods & monsters" and even "body electric" feel very omnipotent and i'd love to have that same feeling on the album. 

Or even Burning Desire “I push you to the limits cause I just don’t care” that’s the vibe I’m getting from this visuals, photos and videos

Side note also, the guy who produced the COTCC video finished the video for Selena Gomez in 12 days, it was finished filming last Sunday so hypothetically he could be almost done with the video 

 

don’t get hopefully tho, we still haven’t heard the song she said we would hear before we saw the video so who knows when everything is going to start happening

Maybe the album trailer is coming and that's why she credited the other director too in the IG post? Cause in this video only Charlie appears

I’m thinking the same! Maybe they filmed this for Interview Mag but more footage from this session will be used in a music video/the album trailer!

Maybe this video is the album trailer... I mean, the vibe of it, we can certainly see that she is coming way more sarcastic, “queenier” and shadier... maybe that’s it, the era has started officially

i truly think this could be her best album yet. from the few visuals we got (interview, cocc mv, and tiddies pic), there’s definitely a beautiful and high-budget style happening. her blonde hair is back. her rage is back. these song titles are AMAZING. i mean, now we just need the music and we could have the best era yet. :typewriter:

What i love about her it's that i don't think she's reached her peak as an artist. I don't know if i'm being delusional but norman was really amazing, i would've never expected something like "the greatest" for ex which is totally a masterpiece (to me), and now that she's a lot more into poetry and writing i think her songwriting skills are gonna get better and better with time as well as her music. I can't wait to keep seeing her artistic growth.

Can't wait to see the full thing, i'm gonna assume it's dropping Friday (today) so in roughly 13/14 hours?

I feel like this record is shaping up to be the anti-thesis of NFR.
 

While I do firmly believe the narrative of NFR was completely genuine, I can’t help but think about what Lana said in Interview Magazine about the widely-accepted cultural norm of feigning “emotional-togetherness.”
 

It’s interesting to see an album like Norman be followed up with a record like Chemtrails because I feel on the former, she was portraying herself to be strong-willed in her loving of her partner, of America, and also herself. She appeared to be reaching a stage of “complacent contentment,” if you will. The way she framed her losses and gains was that of somebody who  had now been served by the system that she was living in - she stepped into the role of the leader, of the light-hearted, of the productively self-aware. 
 

However, taking into account this portrayal of herself in the Interview Magazine video, in her recent poems (most notably “Patent Leather Do-Over” on Behind the Iron Gates), her posting “Question for the Culture” and touching on the idea of a hyper-feminine fragility being prisoning and isolating (again, see the title Behind the Iron Gates), and the realization that she will never be justified in her artistry because of how jarring her own narrative is to a culture that is appalled  by the truths about mental health and domestic crises she bears unabashedly, Lana seems to be embracing the lack of stability that almost everybody is experiencing right now. 
 

I think a lot of this increased anxiety is the result of the pandemic (and I think we’ll see that on songs like “Grenadine Quarantine” and “If this is the End...I Want a Boyfriend”- assuming they are songs and that they will be on the album), but the difference is that on Norman, Lana mourns the state of the world by serving up strength as a sign of the times, but already on Chemtrails, she seems to be descending into the madness percolating throughout the ether and morphing into this eerie-but-strangely-glamorous mania. 

Looking back, though, she had foreshadowed this on “Hope is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have - But I Have it.” She bares her soul on that song and brings all the darkness into the light, and it’s particularly telling that “Hope” is the song that closes a record as defiant as NFR. The title track starts with laughter, but “Hope” ends with tears. That almost signifies that the entire journey she takes us through on Norman is hopeless, for she just finds herself being pulled into her own darkness again, and that’s why hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like her to have. But she has it, and I think that kind of “hopeful-hopelessness” is paradoxical and really showcases Lana’s brilliance as an artist. A true genius of her time and beyond.

I think it was confusing because Lana said "snippet" on her IG post but the whole thing is out on their YouTube channel
