Beautiful music video in May has a nice ring to it...

[Vertimus 9,691]

I don't dislike 'Beautiful.' I don't mind the Picasso line--it's certainly better than an obvious and overused classic rock reference or a name drop of a semi-famous friend. I play the full song whenever it comes on shuffle. I like both versions. I like it more than the title track, which I still can't embrace and don't play when it comes up on shuffle. For me, other than TB and WFWF, the songs that really stand out are IFLDWM, VFR, and BBS. 

 

I consider BB a great record, certainly one of her best in my ranking.

I WANT A SUMMER ALBUM i want to be a hot bitch on the beach not a girl in the middle of nowhere if a cold album 

[lanasbottom 23,695]

just read half a page in here and god pls some of y’all, ask santa for some taste and a hearing aid this christmas cause… 

[Super Movie 51,874]

The only videos I want for this era still are a video for If You Lie Down With Me and Black Bathing Suit. I think that both could turn out really cool, especially if a BBS video was done with BRTHR like Chemtrails was (aka my personal favorite Lana video)

Proposed release schedule for 2022:

 

March: Violets For Roses (springtime)

May: Beautiful (it's warm and beautiful outside)

August: Thunder (time of summer storms)

November: first single of LDR9

 

LDR9 release then early 2023

Nothing is ever set in stone with her, but I do believe we’ll get at least one album from her in 2022. Maybe not LDR9, but the cover album. Let’s not forget how prolific she is when there is no touring to stop her from recording.

Hate it or not. This selphie will alway be remembered as a milestone of her career that traumatized y'all for months for the sake of her PicsArt era.

Iconic af

 

 

Just made a vinyl edition as well (translucent, ofc) 

[Make me your Dream Life 88,999]

not even kidding i'd love a selphie picture disc of bb. i'd buy a matching tea cup n saucer w florals on it 

[Future Jazz 9,266]

if you lie down with me is smooth to the point that it's enveloping, listening to it feels like sitting on a cotton cloud or being held by a cotton creature

why does black bathing suit (which i also love) have chaotic catch and release energy

[xlanax 1,426]

I still listen Sweet Carolina on a Daily basis. Wonderful lyrics, so Sweet and stunning in its semplicity. An album highlight for me.

the way this is really cute wait… the selfie had potential if it wasn’t edited to be 20 pixels and she wasn’t covered in self edited on warts with the gross text 

[Thunder Revenant 20,978]

Can y'all stop glorifying the selfie? We're lucky we broke that doom loop with the flawless Blue Banisters cover, if we get another phone-cam artwork for the next album I know whom to blame!

[Super Movie 51,874]

I actually wouldn't have minded the selfie covers if she didn't edit them the way she did. Doin' Time is one of my favorite single covers of Lana's ever and that's a selfie

Nah I did not glorify it. The selphie was traumatizing but it is no doubt iconic as well.

Text Book really be made from chic fit a lemonade it makes me feel like Anya Taylor Joy in Last Night in Soho 

[moebius 84]

2 months later I can confirm that this is a 6.5/10 - 7/10. Chemtrails outsold with consistency and lyrics but BB does have some interesting ventures sonically that I'd like her to explore more.
 

I want her Joni Mitchell era to finally arrive, and Chemtrails was the closest to that. But I also want something lush and melodic like NFR and UV ugh I can't wait for the next album.

I skip dealer every time 

i think miles Kane makes it sound like a bad crossover with the arctic monkeys and I just don’t think it fits well with the rest of the album at all!

I consider it something of a novelty track, but at least it seems humorous, as DC Cooper pointed out here, and I miss Lana's early humor and light touch. I skip it a lot too. 

[necessary sacrifice 8,866]

i know this is kinda meta of me but i realized the outfit lana wears on the alt cover is very scarlett o'hara. the off-the-shoulder dress, the 3-part necklace, the hair half tied up. i wonder if it was intentional..

here's 2 scarlett looks that are kinda similar
