LDR9 - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

[hotshot2am 17,974]

Lana also started following Michael Harris who works as the head engineer at Vox Recording Studios, he was involved with the Drew tracks on Blue Banisters. Not really interesting but something music related.

so basically we have for producers:
- jack antonoff (confirmed)
- jon batiste (confirmed)
- drew erickson (probably, considering the above ish post & just circumstance)

songs:
- rockefeller (probably)
- loved you then and now (small chance, because she loves reusing songs)
- yes to heaven (small chance, because she loves reusing songs & it's yes to heaven it has to be on every new album list)

artwork:
- neil krug (small chance, because of the orchids post)

that's it i think

Drew Erickson was confirmed in her W Magazine interview. I would say Jon Batiste isn't fully confirmed yet, it's possible that they worked on a track for his album or he was just visiting her in the studio, or he is featured as vocals and not production.

It must be for her album because she wrote X in the caption and said in the comments this album is LDRX

I hated hated hated the snippet game during NFR but goddamn I want another snippet. It's so dry and we haven't even had a peek into the music in 3 months

[the ocean 67,623]

i was just thinking of the possibility of maybe getting a surprise release and how that would affect the LB threads

would this become the pre-release thread or would there just not be a pre-release thread

would it be a folklore style surprise where we know about it a day in advance or would it be a beyoncé style surprise where it's literally just dropped with zero warning

Lana definitely hired geek squad or something because nothing has really been coming out. In a way I'm really happy we haven't had any leaks/snippet since we can go in blind to the new album but damn in times like these I wish somebody would at least throw us a bone. Anything, even just a song title or week we can expect something. 

[Venice Peach 53,058]

I wouldn't mind a couple more snippets as long as they are short like the Rockefeller one. I don't want her to post the whole song in 2/3 parts like she did with HIAB and Cinnamon 

 

I also could do without snippets at all if she's releasing at least a single soon tho... I just need new Lana

I like not having any snippet (no I don’t really count the Rockefeller one: it’s 7 seconds, in the studio and we can’t hear anything - i don’t think I played it more than 5 times it was out). But in the same time, just like you said, it’s very very dry. 

[NikoGo 52,995]

I really don't see it being a surprise release..with how big of numbers she pulls with physicals, they'll want to get a nice debut number. Plus, no artist is surprise dropping anymore. Taylor did it twice, but this time there was a 2 month wait. Preorders help build hype and they aren't going to miss out on that

[the ocean 67,623]

the way i have to bring up surprise releases because there's not a lot else to talk about

it's already not a surprise release anyway since we know the album exists

idk i have to keep this thread active somehow

[Venice Peach 53,058]

Neil keeps posting unrelated pictures in front of that flower vase  

 

Maybe it's the particular spot in his house with the better lighting but it's funny how those are orchids too 

[NikoGo 52,995]

manifesting another random account dropping in, announcing something, and then dipping.

 

No trolling, no further elaboration, and no drama. Just pure facts.

 

LMLYLAW and W magazine were both spilled by random accounts. These fake insiders with their fake info is tired 

 

I think I'm delulu juice hungover

[PatentLeatherDoOver 25,803]

I doubt this is the case, but I’m bored, so here’s a random thought: 

 

Maybe Ben wasn’t trolling when he reposted that fan theory about Blue Banisters being a double release (maybe alongside the covers album?), and that’s why he recently specified we’d see “at least” a solo record. Maybe the second project wasn’t ready or they decided it would fit better with her next project. 
 

To me, at least, it makes sense that Lana might save something as special as a double release for what she considers her tenth studio album. Blue Banisters was a relatively quiet release, and if LDR9/10 is indeed the “masterpiece” BoZ was referencing, it would make sense to further build the hype with a second album alongside it. 
 

This could also make sense if we consider the fact that we have a few indications the album is finished, but we know (for some reason) that it isn’t ready. 
 

Is it a reach? Definitely
