Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Pre-Release Thread: OUT March 24th, 2023

[Evergreen 8,366]

Seems like Ellie Goulding is now releasing her album on February 24 instead of March 24. I wish Lana did the same because her date is stacked with big releases (Fall Out Boy, Pink Floyd, Luke Combs, etc.) and this way we'll get the album sooner.

If Lanas team was smart enough they would release A&W tonight and then the mv on Valentines day

With all new releases coming in March Im afraid she will made it to barely top 4 so she better release it earlier like Ellie

Kind of hard to do that when no music video exists

This era feels simultaneously prepared and botched.

Im sensing another NFR situation: not a big first week, but growing and steady streaming because the album is good or has people curious

BTD never hit number 1 in the US and it's still charting 11 years later, she'll be fine regardless of position 

 

Of course I'd be happy is she gets the top spot but since they know she sells well anyway the focus should be on good streaming numbers so they let her release digital first for future albums and we don't have to wait 5 months for a record that's already completed

This intrigues me because... If it wasn't planned to be used yet, why make it public/verified in the first place? It was obvious that fans would find the account...

You can say is to build hype but what for? A new single? Just to get upset when fans discover the release date for it too?

honestly I don't think that they did much thinking about it at all.

I would love to say that it was probably planned to generate hype around the album, but I don't think that they have the mental competency to do anything ... well besides maybe rage at her fans and create weird emoji sequences.

i honestly don’t think that a&w release has been delayed and i have a strong feeling it’s still coming next week or sooner. i noticed that pitchfork has been posting a lot about lana’s various projects the past week and i don’t think they would just do that if she didn’t have something in the works

me on feb 15 still waiting for the single to come

So I keep looking at signs about the album around me. I just realised that when playing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the first animal I bought was a Japanese fox named Kitsune. Kintsugi supremacy confirmed

a&w is already a legend before anyone has listened to it 

[plastiscguy 63,438]

I'm really curious about A&W being... well, what it was described to be.

 

Spoiler

It apparently doesn't feel like two separate songs, but there's clearly a switch that separate both parts. Will it be like Billie's HTE? Or will it all flow so seamlessly that you can barely tell it's two songs (like VB) 

 

I'd love if it were possible to split the song in two parts, tbh!
