I know this is going to sound really weird, but I have this fixation with playlists and finding new ways to listen to my favorite artists, and I think I found my new way to listen to Lana specifically 

 

i start with Chemtrails + LMLYLAW as the first two tracks. Then I choose two tracks from each record in reverse chronological order (Norman to BTD), then repeat the process by choosing Chemtrails + LMLYLAW and then choosing two different tracks from each record. I've been enjoying listening to her this way because it shows how much she's grown but how much of her catalog is just a universe I can spend so much time in because of how timeless her music is.

I love doing this but in chronicle order before an album release, so the playlist finishes on the currently released songs from the album and I'm left wondering more about how the sound is gonna come through in the new album 

 

But this is quite fascinating, like a meandering walkthrough of her work!

yup and when the album comes out i'll replace all the chemtrails/LMLYLAW repeats with other tracks on the record!

maybe i should listen to AKA–NFR straight through in the hours leading up to COTCC release but that seems.... insane  it'd take roughly 6 hrs 45 minutes i think so i'd have to start at 5 ish... or maybe i'll just listen to all the lizzy grant songs so i fully feel her reflection on that time 

[uvbabe 4,730]

Since we are talking about playlists, here's one I made to spend summer. The title track fits perfectly with the vibe. Hope you like it!

I'm going to be in California for the first time in 7 years on march 25th. COCC is timed so perfectly.

I tried to do this for NFR starting with Sirens thru LFL but I got burned out and then I fell asleep during Love Song

I’m doing something like that too, I took off the 19th so I can listen in full multiple times at midnight...

i mean..... makes sense that it was love song  it's just such a journey that i don't think i could manage

 

i might just do a little lizzy grant sampler like a little cheese board, like an aperitif... something to cleanse my palate prime me for the gorgeous meal i'm about to receive

I'm just gonna wake up at 2:30 or something and listen to Chemtrails at 3AM with a clean slate. I can listen to COCC with the rest of her albums later but I want my first listen to send me to another world.

Pawn Shop blues video coming this year? Hmmm. Is she going to re-release AKA vfinally???

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,635]

This morning the sky looks like the sky on the alt cover and it fits the mood of the title track so much...it's a sign,  something will happen today

If we get COCC, Iron Gates, and AKA this year, I have nothing else to live for and I'M SO EXCITED

ok i know its a hot topic on here but im like so glad she has For Free on the tracklist. I feel like what really sets Lana apart from all the other popgirls and alt girls in the game rn is like they are all having their moments and stuff and some of the greats in the music industry might say something nice about them in an interview, but Lana actually knows the greats  music (joni, bruce, bob etc) very well and takes direct inspiration from them fused with her own pure talent. Like i really don't think Billie Eyelash ever listens to Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan or anyone like that, but Lana does and it shows. And shes praised by those same greats like Springsteen. And she has an impressive collab list, Sean Ono Lenon(yuck but impressive name), Stevie Nicks, as well as a covers list, Nina, Joni, etc. Lana is just so far ahead of her peers

Agreed! And the way she can still separate herself from the artists she adores is truly amazing. I love that she always adds a cover into her albums it shows a whole new dynamic and you get a taste of her taste!

sorry but... what was even the point of bringing Billie Eilish here? She listens to classics like The Beatles (her favourite musicians), and she loves jazz too, so you’re not even making a point... Please, let’s just stop comparing female artists that have their own universe once and for all

[Make me your Dream Life 89,372]

I think its just bc a lot of people here love Lana and probably disliked seeing her let down on camera after campaigning for the Grammys and sorta just being ambushed. They were making a big fuss and praising her but ultimately just used her something something about being an artist that shaped a new wave of music but then praising Eillish for her emergence and current pop relevancy when for the most part both had moody music, but they ultimately went for Eillish bc she was current even if Lana was considered to be a lot more original and let's face it less in ur face gimmicky trended how Eillish might be easily more perceived. 

 

Both do mold culture greatly it's just that Lana's usually just forgotten even when an entire sleu of artists began trying to replicate her sound. The way artists had a wave of trying real hard to sound like Rihanna, and currently like Ariana w their vocals and song content. I do think she's an underdog in that sense and she's usually more picked on, and praised only when it benefits publications etc. It's just shallow and fake so it probably extends that mindset to fans but thing is and we know this is that pop culture n music shouldnt be rules of thumb for measuring quality. Thats always been a clash. 

 

Lana's just extremely underappreciated while culture benefits from the stuff that she does without getting the proper credit she DESERVES. Which can be frustrating. So maybe that's where it stems. Wanting her to be treated better and if not, just fairly. 

 

Personally, I think perspective'll show how her work is ahead of her peers when it comes to her wordage, consistency and trademark original sound etc. But it'd also be great if she was appreciated in the now too. It can be difficult already knowing things ahead of others, and then being paid dust and having someone else take credit because of favoritism. It lacks integrity as society.
