But ya I feel like this album is gonna be a departure from the NFR/COTCC vibe. Even if JA is still the main producer, he's actually pretty versatile I feel--the man produced both "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" and "August" after all

she's gentle and funny when she's drunk but she hasn't been drunk for 14 years, she also goes to the beach with her friends who don't know that she's crazy

As the days go by I’m thinking less and less that jack is going to be the sole producer of this record. He used to like all of her chemtrails related posts but didnt like anything of rcs despite being very active on ig.Also in the november igtv where she said she was recording american standards and classics w Zach Dawes she said “and bunch of other little things”. I think in the session when she did Dealer they came up with other songs that were similar to it that she would make into rcs. And I kind of feel like mike dean produced blue banisters. I wouldn’t be surprised if the new sound is very different from chemtrails I mean this is the same woman who went from UV to HM

now this is what we like to hear PERIOD

I’m getting tired of pretending to be patient. When are we allowed to start complaining that this is the most torturous prerelease? 
 

The theories that Taylor Swift is about to drop another meticulously planned and crafted surprise album is making whatever you call this lana era seem sadder

With LDR Village, I feel like she could make some really cool merch for Rock Candy Sweet!
 

1. I would love if she made crystal-themed merch for each song on the album, since actual rock candy bears a striking resemblance to crystals. Maybe a necklace with a crystal pendant using an amethyst or something like that, or the actual crystals themselves. 
 

2. And I don’t vape or smoke or anything like that, but I feel like it would totally be up her alley if she sold crystallized/bejewelled vapes in collaboration with Mi-Pod (since she owns so many of their chunky square vapes) and each variant came with a different flavoured pod, all with candied flavours (like cotton candy, for example). 

3. Since there’s a beauty salon at LDR Village, I would love if her rumoured collaboration with Gucci Beauty also led to a full line of makeup sold exclusively online at LDR Village and select retailers like Sephora or Ulta. She could do an eyeshadow palette and name each shade after a song on the album, and make lipsticks named after various lyrical motifs from the album. It’s about time we have false-eyelashes and lip-liner sold by Lana. I also feel like she could sell a really cool highlighter using very on-the-nose/meta imagery for Rock Candy Sweet.

 

so many ideas! I might have to do some mock-ups just for fun lol <3

I’m not a huge smoker but Lana selling vape juice, pens, grinders, rolling papers, etc would be so on brand.

I'm not keen on the second idea, especially because she can get backlash. But number 1 and 3 

[Rorman Nockwell 53,749]

I am probably in the minority but I hope this album's aesthetic is not candy themed. It's been done to death, most notably by Katy Perry and Lana isn't one to follow trends created by other artists and I'd be really disappointed if she did. The aesthetic is pretty much never based on the literal meaning of her album title so I'm not too concerned that she will, but ..

I’m still not sure how to rank this prerelease era (instead of ranking albums, we should def rank her prereleases ) but I’m with you that it’s getting tiring. The White Dress teaser made bearable because we had a release date at least for the album. But her shitty track record when it comes to dates and her cryptic posts followed by weeks / months of silence make it hard to be excited.

One or two items of merch with Candy, I am fine with. Just not the whole bubblegum candy land shit. 

[Churchome Rep 3,205]

This prerelease feels extra tortuous because nothing is happening. There is no tour for us to follow Lana around. Lana isn’t spotted anywhere. Magazine covers are lo-fi repeats. All because of the pandemic

[Make me your Dream Life 83,152]

I want diamond knuckles. a musicbox. cigarette sticks. visors. LIP GLOSS. I think that's it for now 

[Super Movie 50,275]

If Rock Candy Sweet means actually candy, then I think a cute little pop up where she sells merch and rock candy sticks would be cool 

 

If Rock Candy Sweet is a metaphor for jewelry however, I'll be expecting my diamond necklace on June 1st, Ms. Del Rey 

Spoiler

Just kidding on that last part - although some new LDR jewelery would be nice to have for this era 

 

[honeybadger 40,620]

if lana sold vape merch i'd be GONE... absolutely not no offense 

 

edit i feel like this comes across very puritan but i swear it's not i just can't stand the idea lmfakgsjrdhfnfkaJDSsg it's not that i hate you if you vape omg never but literally i don't think i could stomach vapes.... smoking campaigns would COME for her neck

[Make me your Dream Life 83,152]

what if she sold pot- lil puff puff here a lil puff puff there the lil baddie that could
