White Dress 6,901 Posted April 13, 2022 I wish she'd work with Auerbach again. Even if the result isn't as bombastic () as UV, the textures of that album are so divine 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mlittle11 12,214 Posted April 13, 2022 i never said lana’s recent writing is bad just that (FOR THE MOST PART) it lacks complexity and mystery. im tired of the on the nose writing. its was cute while it lasted but im ready for something new. BUT ANYWAYS i would love a beach vibe from lana. more “fuck it i love you” type songs wouldnt hurt 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IanadeIrey 61,986 Posted April 13, 2022 Does anyone think the recent songwriting is a good thing? I love Lana Del Rey. I think she’s a really interesting artist. 21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine Golden Gate Bridge, fog, 60s acid and marijuana farms on the Mendocino Coast. Wowowow If you're a fake insider, atleast you're giving us good fake news. And if you're telling the truth, we're in for something incredible. This sounds like my prediction a couple weeks ago that this album would build upon the anxieties touched upon in NFR, with a similar but more troubling sound. Dreamy and breezy on the surface, with nightmares looming below. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrashMagiq 58,486 Posted April 13, 2022 I get why people like the more direct diary entry type lyrics but I'll just never be one of those people. I think songs like Heroin or Off to the Races or w/e are far more interesting than a song like Blue Banisters. And songs like Beautiful are just bad lyrically. It's like she just wanted to send a message but doesn't care if it sounds good or not (her having to rush pronouncing "Picasso" to fit it in... horrible). It goes along with her whole vocals done in one take / obsession with stripping back instrumentals thing she has going on. Stripped back piano with out of tune vocals and very direct lyrics don't make the music more honest or real, it just makes uninteresting while sounding bad. She can be honest while sounding good, not being too on the nose and having some grander production. We've all heard it before. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reveal hidden contents Jk it’s very beachy, but this time cold foggy Northern California beach vibes. Northern California is like borderline northwest, which is where I grew up, so it'd be really cool if she made a soundscape that embodies the landscape and scenery of the NW/N Cali Thinking luscious fir's, freezing beaches, cloudy skies, fog, rain, all these vibes Of course thats closer to NW but that'd be dope af. Remember that one fake song title Sequoia and Kings? would fit the vibe yea 5 .˚₊‧.༻𓆩❤︎𓆪 My love's pourin' 𓆩❤︎𓆪༺.‧₊˚. °l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||Like a waterfall.||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l° 1:32━━━━━♡────2:42 ⇆ | ◁◁ ▐ ▌ ▷▷ | ↺ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IanadeIrey 61,986 Posted April 13, 2022 NorCal reminds me so much of the Canadian west coast (which is where I’m from) so whether legit or not, I will gladly await an album in that vein! 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeminiLanaFan 48,991 Posted April 13, 2022 NFR was very Cali-Laurel Canyon and has that big « end of the world » feeling at the end of the record. the next two are about living in that end of the world and thinking about the past and your career. now imagine if LDR9 is really about Nor-Cal/ let’s live in this « new world » with a sorta « looming menace » over it 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SalvaWHORE 33,980 Posted April 13, 2022 @DragonWhore I dreamt about the album a lot actually and i always see it has at least 20 tracks (if that's the case then this will be her longest album to date) So... can you spill a little bit about the tracklisting-wise - how many songs are there, what's the possible length of the album, how many tracks most likely the album has? 2 @WHORE OF TROPICO ⇨ @SALVAWHORE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dominikx4 25,404 Posted April 13, 2022 i dont really think her lyrics nosedived songs like Beautiful are straight up bad lyrically, but i feel most of COCC and a handful of songs on BB are still written in the same style as her previous records the real villains here are Drew Erickson & Zach Dawes if you ask me Drew is a one-trick-pony - all his production sounds kinda samey, and its not like hes a good producer anyway. he should stick to writing orchestral arrangements and have another producer do the majority of the work Then we have Zach who appears to have no direction or vision? Text Book is a great song, but I still dont know wtf is going on in that instrumental, same goes for Black Bathing Suit. It's pure chaos, but not in a unhinged way I could enjoy. Now these 2 combined make for a terrible record which manages to sound over- and underproduced at the same time. It's all over the place and incohesive I truly hope Jack is doing main production w/ Drew providing arrangements. Jack's got the production skills and Drew can provide good arrangements like he did for IYLDW or FJM's recent album. In an ideal world, she would work with someone else or go back to Rick, but we kniw that aint happening. As for Zach and Mike Dean, I hope theyre both out of the picture 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
