those people aren’t streaming songs like A&W in the first place so no 

There's also always new music in the indie sector, but a 7-minute song is not very popular in playlists either, so I think the decrease in streams is a normal process. The first days are almost the most important to get an audience and after that there are hardly any surprises.

I never thought Lana would open an album in a R'n'B-soul-choir-esque fashion and I'm honestly here for it.

Agreed ! Candy Necklace was called massive, I believe it was by Kintsugi

i’m still trying to understand this:

5 judah smith interlude 

6 candy necklace

7 jon batiste interlude 

 

This is such a precarious place for Candy Necklace to be.  At this point, I'm most eager to hear Taco Truck and Grandfather, but after that i'm curious about how this is going to work. From the start i've been intrigued by the idea of the Judah Interlude and how it could really set the stage/mood, but the two interludes so close together? Will it be the blackhole of the album or the perfect (and necessary) transition to shift the vibe and move us into next part of the story? It shouldn't work, but I think Candy Necklace will be "big" enough to pull this off.

Having heard both interludes, I think the John Baptiste one is a perfect mid-way break for the record. 

 

If Candy Sweet is more upbeat, they'll flank it fine. That said, I have no respect for the Judah Smith experimental shit (if that leak is even the real deal), and I would have cut it out completely, thereby reducing the record runtime a bit.

Lana sings in the interludes? I heard that JS Interlude leak and I don't know if it's that Lana doesn't sing or it's that they removed her vocals with a program

The lyrics in The Grants are giving me some ''Ain't no Mountain High Enough'' kinda hopeful-positive vibes. An R'n'B-soul album wouldn't be so bad methinks.

I have a feeling this will be THE comprehensive LDR record. It will contain all the essential LDR sounds and lyrics you ever need all in one album while still feeling like a cohesive body of work. An essential in her discography

I’ve been a fan since 2015 please. I’m just being real. And those delayed physicals only contributed like 8k when they shipped, so she would’ve sold 41k which isn’t much better 😭

 

Anyways Blue Banisters is a mixtape in my mind.

 

Omg, that's the perfect description. A mixtape of unreleased tracks and half-baked Drew Erickson drivel.

 

I think she should have titled it a Mixtape. It's the only LDR record I genuinely disliked.

[anwdelrey 9,295]

I wonder if there’ll be a “The greatest” esque moment on this album. Hm ✨

[TRENCH 15,456]

I love blue banisters, it's such a good window of seeing Lana being an open book

At first, I was feeling some type of way about Lana extrapolating/sampling her own songs and melodies on this, but it was actually done pretty well on A&W and Sweet that it just makes me more excited to hear Taco Truck x VB.

agree, blue Banisters is her worst album Although tik tok fans act by saying the opposite, we all know that this is not what they really think, I think they do it so they are not called locals girl be frr

is taco truck x bb upbeat?

Super new sound for her. Very soft and dreamy and the melody is very strong. I wouldn't call it "upbeat" per se. 

 

If I had to compare it with anything, it's like Cinnamon Girl and Tulsa Jesus Freak rolled into one with some Spanish vibes lyrically. I thought it was like Get Free when I first heard it, but it's more Cinnaon Girl. Definitely a Jack track. 

 

AThe snippet moves onto some Cinnamon Girl style electronics later , and could move to a trap sound.

You should as long as you're thoughtful and not one of those cringeworthy reactors who scream and jump around instead of focusing on the music.

It is unfortunate that Lana hasn’t had a streaming hit since NFR. Either QFTC did indeed do damage with the general public or she just hasn’t released something as consumable as the NFR songs.

 

She doesn't care about these things... so why would you?
