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

[Venice Peach 54,376]

All the complaints I've seen about Beautiful are because of either lyrics, melody, vocals and/or mixing and Drew had probably 0% to do with that 

 

The twinkling piano notes are actually the best part of the song and I say that as someone who doesn't hate Beautiful as much as the majority here 

 

I'm really excited for his work on the upcoming record cause Arcadia's horns and the whole IYLDWM are highlights in my opinion  

I think he'll work even better with more instruments/an orchestra so I have high hopes

Try listening to Arcadia with a headphone, “all roads that lead to you as integral to me” gives me headache, the vocals were really loud, but I still love the song anyway

I get what you're saying but I kinda love the musical theater vocals  but yeah they could have compressed them a tiny bit

Drew is more of an arranger than a bonafide producer. Guess this is still new territory for him and, unfortunately, mishaps happen, so I'm not overhyped for the tracks where he's the main producer.

 

I do agree his piano is the best thing about Beautiful, though lol 

[palemoonbaby 15,260]

she worked literally with pro pianist/producers using piano so piano is good on TUOB

I feel like fingertips will be the new “white dress” since she’s trying a new method of singing, “throat singing” as BOZ said

As an example, this instrumental (produced by Jack Antonoff) sounds unmistakably like a Lana instrumental, it’s crafted around the lyrics:

Whereas this just sounds like a random melody, there’s no Lana atmosphere to it:

BUT, I’m hopeful to see what Drew brings to Tunnel. I hope he proves me wrong but I’m just not sold on him yet.

Choosing jacks best instrumental is dirty , I mean beautiful has nice melody and doesn’t lack much if you compare it to let’s say , love song .

the way Drew is a producer on both her magnum opus black bathing suit and the worst song she has ever done beautiful…. duality of a man i guess

Drew didn’t produce BBS. He just has songwriting credits. I think his work is fine when he has other producers helping him. That is why I’m not worried about The Grants or Let the Light In. Fingertips also sounds like an interesting song because of the songwriting approach that Lana took with it. Sweet is the only song I don’t have high expectations for.

fingertips will be the greatest song of all time, drew doubters do not need to worry!

[NikoGo 61,444]

I have 100% faith in Drew 

 

Fingertips is the one I'm nervous for though, only because she mentioned it being her voice app with reverb slapped on. That gives me 'idc about vocal' vibes and that was my biggest complaint with BB. Production wasn't one of my complaints with BB, and with the same people working on the song I'm not worried about it at all

@Brightsun said she recorded the vocals in the studio  Maybe the voice notes were initially used for a demo.

Who’s they? Lana herself said it was recorded in her voice memo 

[littleredpartydress 49,883]

The second fingertips snippet has always sounded to me like they clearly redid the vocals in a studio
