Because Miles Kane is in Dealer, it could be top 10 in the UK.

He shitted on Fiona's Fetch The Bolt Cutters. I'm convinced he just hates woman.

She gunna see everyone begging to make dealer or thunder a single then do the opposite and pick another boring song like beautiful as a single and then stream its only live performance on igtv on her instagram that the majority of the fanbase doesn’t have access to and we’ll have to watch on shitty youtube uploads and snippets of on tiktok

I'm not trying to be rude or catty but what credentials does Ajayll have? Is she a musician, producer, singer? I watched her Blue Banisters reaction and she doesn't really talk about things from a technical POV, just kinda what she likes? Is that her "thing", just being an amateur listener? 

[Creyk 11,699]

She said she is dedicating the next year to writing. In the LFL album trailer (and multiple times since then) she emphasized the importance of retreating into yourself and shutting out the outside world if you want to create something special. She also referred to this in the video post she made before she shut down her instagram account, how she wants to give more of her attention to her creative endeavors. I don't expect a new album next year (maybe we will get behind the iron gates + something for BTD 10 year anniversary),  but if she focuses so much on being creative then I hope she will come out with something truly extraordinary for her next album in 2023.

Let me do what I do
Let me show you how sadness can turn into happiness
I can turn blue into something
Beautiful

 

Beautiful is the key track of this album.

I don't know who she is, but I noticed that she only wears her witch hat when reacting to Lana.

Tbh if she takes a longer break between BB and her next album,  I would like to see a shift in sound . Something that it not predominantly piano . I know that she is capable of spicing things up , she is known for changing soundscapes .

As in her country album?!? 

I’m partly kidding, I totally know what you mean. I have hope that the one after the covers/country could be more upbeat. I’m still curious about Loved You Then and Now (it must sound very different if it didn’t make the cut of the last two albums) and if she’ll keep on working with Mike Dean (please let him go loose on production next time).

Aren't ALL reaction videos like this? I've yet to see any interesting one (and please spare me with this cringy pOeT rEaCtS tO lOnA DeL rAy stuff cause I can't really see a lot of expertise there either). They are usually successfull because it's either a hot or likeable person.

Last week was all about Black Bathing Suit and If You Lie Down With Me for me; this week, it’s all about Beautiful (string version), Nectar of the Gods and Living Legend (finally connecting with it) 

[Sportscruiser 11,894]

Four days in and this is where I’m standing with my ranking of the songs (not in a particular order just yet):

 

10/10

Black Bathing Suit

Dealer

Sweet Carolina

Violets For Roses

Wildflower Wildfire

 

9.5/10

Blue Banisters

If You Lie Down With Me

Text Book

 

9/10

Nectar of The Gods

Thunder
 

8/10

Interlude - The Trio

Living Legend

 

7/10

Arcadia

Cherry Blossom

 

6.5/10

Beautiful (this one hasn’t properly hit yet)

 

Straight up masterpiece. I’m trying to write a proper, extended review of this album but the way it kept catapulting its way to the top with each listen… it might be a top 3 album alongside NFR and Honeymoon

Maybe they roll the fix in different regions at a different time? Here in Europe the chorus sounds clean even at full volume (and it didn't when the album was released)

i’m from the uk and it doesn’t for me for some reason

Cherry Blossom hits different when you think that Lana's singing for you directly  almost as if she's looking out for us especially when things get complicated or hard
