Which Lana album would you most like to see as a visual album?

[Venice Jesus Whore 4,456]

Pretty disappointed that visual albums didn’t become more of a thing after Lemonade was such a success in 2016. It makes sense considering it’s a huge undertaking and really probably doesn’t bring in much extra revenue to the artist, but I really wish more of my favorite artists had embraced this. The Weeknd kinda did it with After Hours, just all in separate videos, how he kept a storyline and character going throughout the entire era. I wish more artists invested this much into a single era, really creating an aesthetic, storyline, concept, and theme throughout all the music, photoshoots, videos, and public appearances.

 

As far as Lana goes, with how creative and dope the Chemtrails video was and with the lyrics + vibe of Tulsa Jesus Freak, I can’t help but imagine a visual album for Chemtrails. I think the era was such a missed opportunity, which I know was affected by covid and all, but still. I actually have been working on a visual album concept with the Chemtrails video as the foundation for what the rest of the visual album would be shaped around, and I can’t help but get both excited and disappointed at how cool it could’ve been if executed. 

 

Which Lana album would you most like to see as a visual album?

[the ocean 67,620]

honeymoon 

and also aka cause we only have 9 videos out of 13 songs

[SoftwareUpgrade 19,216]

Honeymoon 🌹 

[Surf Noir 188,240]

all of them!  

[Super Movie 50,262]

Honeymoon 100%. But I also think that Norman could've been a really interesting visual album if it was all directed by Rich Lee 

[palemoonbaby 13,390]

All

 

But the most I wanted are Born To Die. Every song has clip. 

 

In Ultraviolence full movie bout abusive relationship in depression, with full songs and action, dialogues, interludes between songs. 

 

And NFR as romantic movie and worshiping freedom etc.

[IanadeIrey 60,557]

Ultraviolence and Honeymoon, hands-down. I don’t even need to explain why, you should just get it! 
 

Edit: Also Lust for Life, I feel like she could do a lot visually, since that record carries such a narrative and sonically, lends itself to archival, b-movie horror soundtracks. 

[NikoGo 51,615]

I’m gonna go in a completely different direction from the rest of the thread and say Violet 

 

[Ocean Boulevard 38,922]

Chemtrails Over The Country Club & all the visuals shot by BRTHR 

 

Honeymoon or Ultraviolence definetly since they are her most cohesive work in my opinion , especially Honeymoon 

 

But I wouldn't mind NFR too if they all were done in a FILLY/ TG way ( Hope video & DT video can stay ofc)

 

For BB I could imagine great visuals too 

 

But tbh all of them 

 

I hope this thread  will manifest somehow that LDR9 will be a good visual album

that would be heaven

 

also agree re NFR, I could see some sort of Joan didion play it as it lays vibes, or deranged Doris day beach flick

 

a honeymoon visual in the style of the homemade title track vid would also be a dream

[Cherry Blossom 19,986]

Honeymoon 

Paradise

Chemtrails

[DeadSeaOfMercury 18,817]

Yes.

ultraviolence and honeymoon DOUBLE feature 

[The Siren 28,750]

i would love to see AKA, Ultraviolence and Honeymoon  

maybe not as a musical film but more like a film with a soundtrack released separately, with a few songs appearing in it.

like.. imagine if the Ultraviolence film had Is This Happiness for its prologue scene  

have the camera pan closer to a balcony in the night with Lana and a love interest drinking and taking drugs as ITH plays 

then the screen goes dark and West Coast starts  

 

lets make a thread where we collectively write a fictional film script for it  

 

Honeymoon would be the film's sequel

ok but hear me out

 

ultraviolence and honeymoon double feature it MAKES sense

 

starts out with cruel world and it goes through all of the deluxe ultraviolence tracks but in an order that ends with the other woman

then we get the transition with flipside

and then we have all the honeymoon tracks up until swan song where it ends

and then we get don't let me be misunderstood & is this happiness during the credits

 

[Make me your Dream Life 82,701]

Interestingly enough, LFL and COCC. 
 

the others already have lush videos that make the album come alive a lot personally so I’d really love to see LFL’s and COCC’s world be explored more. BB as well, but since it’s pretty recent I’m on the fence about it

No but seriously that would've been really interesting

Maybe that's why Iron Gates is "complicated" because it will be visual? Imagine

When I listen to NFR I have like this entire Studio Ghibli-esque visualisation in my head for each song. If I had infinite time and money I'd love to share it. It's too difficult to explain all of it but for Cinnamon Girl she's sitting in her car in the rain looking at her phone and she gets out and walks down the street and everything reminds her of her boyfriend and she keeps thinking she sees him in cafe windows n stuff and I sound like a boring crackhead now so I shall cease

[saith 1,078]

I so agree about that idea.

 

When the posters for the Love music video were being spotted around (with the album still unannounced), I remember believing she was going to release a visual album called Love with a hippie / sci-fi aestethic. How amazing would it have been.

 

 

 

Honeymoon would have been great as it is a really cohesive album but any album would have been great. Her music is very cinematic so it is very fitting for videos.

 

We got something pretty close with Tropico for Paraside (+ a short film for Ride and video/commercials for both Blue Velvet and Burning Desire).
