My aunt’s baby is due in November, so I’d literally die of happiness is the album was also coming in November! Because of the lyrics, the title track has become one of my favourite songs ever, and it’d be so meaningful to me if the album came out around the same time my aunt gives birth.

 

Congrats on the new addition to the family. 

It is always so beautiful when we can relate music to events in our lives. It creates a really special connection and memory that will forever endure. I love seeing the title track praise. Just want to note BB’s true supremacy lol.  
 

Cherry Blossom also kind of adds to that special event. 
 

Very happy we finally have concrete news. So excited for this record. I’m so curious and intrigued. I think it is going to be very special.

complain about the album when it's finally released - for the time being lemme remind y'all 

 

Blue Banisters: piano + organs + ambient synths

 

Text Book: synths + drums + guitars

 

Wildflower Wildfire: keyboards (synth and piano) + organ + electronic elements

 

Thunder (assuming it's not reworked instrument wise): drums + electric guitars + those cute bell sounds (that she better keep)

 

Cherry Blossom (unless reworked): just piano

 

just to mention those elements are on par with some of her best lyrics to date so stop yapping - there's obvious variation Lana is a genius

I want the album to feel

Stop exaggerating, I never said someone ONLY wants trap bangers, wasn't talking about you either. We know this album will be very slow, there can be a nice variety of instruments, but she's still in that "piano flops" mood. 

 

VeniceBeach (asking about Arcadia): Is it only piano???

BlackoutZone: Yes, it’s pretty similar throughout, but she serves vocals. It’s more than 4 minutes long too

 

 

Oh sorry I thought you talked about another thing BOZ said, about the general sound of the album

I was just annoyed that when you critize piano ppl automatically say you only want trap or BTD 2.0 (in general, not you), maybe you mentioning trap triggered me a bit 

Let's wait & see what this album has in store for us & let's celebrate Arcadia is coming

I want Lana to serve again with a rich production, a lot of interesting instruments like on Honeymoon, be passionate about her art, but I accepted the fact that she's doing only what she wants to do. Good for her, but Chemtrails is my least favorite album, and my expectations for BB are very low too, I'm keeping myself from the disappointment. 

If it's 12 tracks, then we've heard most of the album already. 

[CinnamonGay 10,513]

I truly adore her latest work. Esp BB.

Its right up there with the legends.

It has a Joni esque/Fiona vibe to it. 

 

BB AOTY 2022 CONFIRMED .!!!!!!!!!

[Evergreen 7,593]

One day I was looking at the credits of Honeymoon and how many interesting instruments they used for it. That was Lana at her peak, in my opinion. Now she uses one small part of it. 

 

Spoiler

 

Rick Nowels  – acoustic guitar (tracks 1, 10); electric guitar (tracks 2, 4, 6, 9, 10, 14); bass (tracks 1, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14); synthesizers (tracks 1–7, 9–13); mellotron (tracks 1, 4, 7, 9, 12, 14), piano (tracks 1–3, 10, 12); organ (tracks 1, 4, 5, 11, 13, 14); chamberlin (tracks 10, 13); electric piano (tracks 4, 12); keyboards (track 5); percussion (track 10); celesta (track 14)

Kieron Menzies  – synthesizers (tracks 5, 7, 11); drum programming (tracks 1, 2, 4–7, 9, 11, 13); synth bass (tracks 4–6, 11); percussion (tracks 2, 6, 7, 10); sampler (tracks 2, 4, 5, 11); effects (tracks 1, 3, 5); loops (tracks 9, 13)

Leon Michels  – winds, keyboards, saxophone, flute, juno, synthesizer, synthesizer pads

Brian Griffin – congas, drums, percussion

 

 

And many more. That's what I wish for new Lana music, but it's pretty clear we're not getting that.

didn’t u just drag me for wanting pretty much the same thing

 maybe her new music is not for u and u should accept it 

[Venice Peach 52,958]

October 8th would be exactly 1 month after the preorder so it makes sense and it's also the week with the least competition on the charts (in the US at least)
Sam Fender is releasing on the 8th tho so maybe she won't get the top spot in the UK (sad cause I think every album of hers except HM hit number 1 there). 

By the way why is she looking so menacing and intimidating on the Arcadia single cover?

honeymoon's instrumentals remain lana's best, it would've been a magnum opus if it weren't for the lacking lyrics

We stan an artist who uses live instruments. I kinda got sick of fake ass instruments a.k.a. "You think you are listening to a guitar and real drums but it's actually all computers "

I don’t think she will have any problems running against Sam Fender. UK fucking loves her, much more than America at this point, me think
