Triple single release: Blue Banisters, Text Book, & Wildflower Wildfire - OUT NOW

[CyberCherry 2,039]

The power of the holy trinity of TB, BB, WW, I can't even pick a favorite they are all SO GOOD

[Greenapple 33]

The slightly unpolished production, the lack of acknowledging the release, the (let’s face it) unflattering single covers... I have to assume it’s all a deliberate exercise in confronting her insecurities and desire for perfection. I’d imagine that if I was a highly scrutinised celebrity there would be something liberating about just throwing out art without all of the polish and marketing BS that normally goes into campaigns. Maybe she’s done with the fame game but she still wants to be keep being an artist (thank god)

after someone said it sounds like demi lovato's song that kinda ruined text book for me and that sucks 

[Three White Butterflies 27,471]

NO OFFENSE BUT WHY IS WILDFLOWER WILDFIRE SOUNDING LIKE THAT WITH MY HEADPHONES ON 

[Macintosh Manhattan 6,511]

Still nothing has clicked for me even after a couple listens. I really don't like the mixing and the production at all  

 

The lyrics and Lana's vocals are really impressive but it's everything else that's a massive letdown. It's not for me but I'm glad it's rocking most of y'alls boats

It’ll be interesting to see how people like Ajay and anthony review these omg I feel like I can’t even be mad if people don’t like it cuz these are hyper personal and they might be hard to relate to for some people I feel like that’s fair just as long as you can acknowledge the artistry of it 

my favorite part about lana releasing music is seeing people's reactions to it, so i'm super excited!

Don't wanna break your heart

Wanna give your heart a break

I know your scared it's wrong

Like you might make a mistake

There's just one life to live

And there's no time to wait to waste

So let me give your heart a break

This madness needs to stop, Jack was awful with arrangements-the mixing was not good it kinda worked well on Tulsa because it’s quite Lofi but I don’t think the tinny ness was intended  and also you want the whisper vocals?

exactly... PAINFUL

I cannot get over this classic Americana imagery she has painted for us; summer coming and going, homemade birthday cakes, chicken running and being barefoot in the yard, hot coffee on a hot day, vintage Ford cars, painting banisters, and dogs swimming in a salty bay...

 

What I love most about her songbook is the feeling, how you can almost stand in that moment with her as she’s singing and see the sights, smell the scents, hear the goings-on. It’s like a painting come to life. These scenes could easily be from an Edward Hopper, or more uncannily, Norman Rockwell painting.

I’m not saying they’re amazing but this revisionist history needs to stop-Jack cannot mix period or come up with production not already used.

I really love this. I always love reading your thoughts and hearing what you have to say <3

lana really takes the ordinary n makes it beautiful. i love the way she describes scenery and just the little moments she experiences. it makes life seem more interesting.

Does anyone else think that maybe these are the Iron Gates poems in spoken word format?

Because these songs really seem like poems with music so maybe they're like a step up from the spoken VBBOTG

It explains the singles covers (sort of) and the two album thing and etc

TB > WW > BB

Anthony is so predictable at this point lmao, his review will include something about how her early work was immature and a façade trying to gaslight the public into thinking she's someone she isn't then he'll bring up how the new album doesn't equate to the prestige sophistication of NFR but it's still a step in the right direction from the calamity that was her first 3 albums. he says the same thing every time
