the way y’all are begging for her to talk but when she will everybody will tell her to shut up because she’ll either say something dumb or it’ll get taken out of context 

Noone wants her to talk. We just want some promo as in singles, videos, album trailers ...

This era was so dry, yet it gave us more than enough "seperate the art amd the artist"-material already, we need some actual art now

yeah but maybe she’ll do more promo, interviews, clips, maybe a livestream once the album’s out and if not well then there’ll always be the next album... tbh at this point i’d prefer for her to just be lowkey and let the album speak on its own than her doing other cringe interviews or another diy mv disaster

Well, I guess it's too late to still make this prerelease interesting anyway ...

Y’all so quick to hate on the homemade music videos like they’re not a staple of her career  TJF home made video coming to serve! Kiss the budget goodbye ladies!

The LMLYLAW one and the NFR/Bartender/HIAB-trilogy stained the reputation of her homemade stuff so much ...

I hope this album has the best vocals (not only the quality of her singing, but also the vocal mixing and processing). The worst was Lust for Life undoubtedly.

I'd say it was NFR. One of the things that I disliked about the album was how little attention they payed to her voice and how clumsy the mixing ended up sounding, with some exceptions. On the other hand, I truly enjoyed how her voice was treated on LFL, even if the album wasnt my favourite either. 

[PARADIXO 32,943]

I myself don't like the tradition of having at least one home-made video each era. BTD ones were iconic (except Carmen tbh)... next one should've been Honeymoon (amazing vid). And that's it.

Remember when she announced White Hot Forever the day Norman came out... we had a pre-pre release thread that was so absurd but here we are! Two weeks away from the whole thing. We can't stop winning

Really? I mean, she sings beautifully, but the technique or stylistic choices were... choices. The paper over the microphone thing was just a mess and a half. Plus she sounds dead in some songs, but that's because of the amount of filters etc. 

 

My favorite vocal recordings from that album are the title track, White Mustang and Get Free... she sounds emotional in Change and I love that track to death but I could've lived without the vocal filter.

 

Anyway Chemtrails seems to be filter-free so I'm happy

I don’t know why we focus on promo more rather than Lana’s well-being and her ability to stay motivated this era. We’ve seen her mental health dwindle down as she got into more controversies, the body shaming, all her stuff getting leaked, and so much more. If it’s her choice to not do promo, then so be it. In my opinion, I find it very unlikely and I’m sure Lana and her label have ideas in mind like a virtual concert or something. It’s sad that what happened to her during this era might stick with her for a long time. All she needs to do is take a break from social media and focus on what she does best, writing music and poetry.

Sir... UV is a serve. But I agree, LMLYLAW vid does not add anything to the song.

[Coney Island King 26,003]

Is this the most boring pre album wait we have ever had?

How is the album out in 2 weeks and i feel literally nothing.....

How can you talk about Carmen mv??? It's in my top 5*.

 

*With a few observations. I don't really like some parts of the original, so I just replaced some scenes with the ones from Diet Mtn Dew

LFL is definetly so overproduced in some parts and as a whole maybe too, and gets annoying sometimes, but I think that vocally the production was quite well crafted, and fits the (not always well executed) overall opulent aesthetic of the record. I happen to love the singing-through-paper technique, p.example.

 

NFR fell flat for me in many moments. The way she sounds on HTD, MAC, FIILY, VB or HIADT, p.e, is truly lovely, but other moments as the title track (which I love, anyway), Love Song, CG or HIAB (not to talk about California) make me think about what the fuck they were thinking when recording or mixing the vocals, as the result ended up being quite poor and amateurish and failed to create whatever they were looking for, in my opinion.

 

(Just realised this got a little out of topic, but the discussion is connected to how the vocal delivery on COTCC i expected to be!)

I feel excitement but it's a bit overshadowed by how unsure we are of how the whole album will be

[paradisetropico 7,920]

for me its a mixture for why im not "freaking out" yet... I think most importantly the visuals are kinda all over the place, the album cover is kinda just meh, and the 2 songs we have are beautiful but not super super intimate lyrically, they're just simple & sweet, nothing controversial or breaking down how she truly feels,  just kind of nice songs to play as the sun goes down... it doesn't radiate intense feelings for me. 

[Make me your Dream Life 87,884]

it feels like a gas station lobby(?) before getting to the destination on a road trip
