so it got +2m streams again??? holy shit 

I don’t think so. This account always post the numbers in advance. They probably counted partial Sunday’s steams as well.

Can someone explain to me what a vocal chop is? I've heard it quite a few times now while describing A&W and im curious

They’re basically cut vocal tracks

like the ones at 4:36 and 4:37/38

[Topanga 1,384]

a&w, the track of the century 

[DCooper 37,182]

There is such an urgency to A&W, it's the most riveting song she's ever done I think 

 

There's actually an urgency to both songs we have that's really interesting, like she needs to tell these stories  I am so excited for this album

[GeminiLanaFan 49,408]

Based on the Billie interview, Margaret was the last recorded song of the album… Do we think Jack’s caption « Honeymoon from hell » (August 25) was while recording Margaret or another track?

I might make myself a visualiser for the album so i can watch it during my first listen. Like just edit clips together that i think will represent the tracks and lose myself in it. The grants could have a collage of old home videos or something, sweet could have a bunch of romantic footage, A&W psychadelic clips, for grandfather i might try and find lots of scenery visuals of the ocean and waves, for peppers i'll find lots of dark and slutty pole dancing clips. It'll be hard trying to come up with something as ive yet to hear the songs but its quite a cute idea, im excited

 

edit: does anyone know where i can find the track lengths?

thank you <33

I don’t know if I’ll say the same thing upon release, but at the moment, this album feels like it’s Norman’s angry little sister: darker, sinister in some ways, even more honest, like when you let your guards down, but musically sweeping.

I know that Jack was probably just referring to Lana's instagram username, but I really am getting a "Honeymoon from hell" vibe, with a little bit of Jack's Norman touch on top. Both albums have grand, lush orchestras, a little bit of an outlier (High by the Beach and A&W), super introspective and poetic, etc. 

[palemoonbaby 15,273]

this is type of album that you can make colourful visuals but at the same time it’s hard to fit any color to songs

[Honeyyoung 17,096]

people are already starting to dismiss a&w saying that people are only liking it because it's different than the piano ballads she's been making since 2019 and i have to disagree. like even if it was only the american whore part it honestly still would be in my top 10 or somewhere around there. the melodic work, lyrical content and production is just too good

For me, personally, I have to agree with those people. It's an excellent song, extremely well crafted, but I have a very difficult time believing that a lot of people who have been criticising her music for years would be super positive towards A&W without the Jimmy section. Just my opinion!

also i’m pretty sure there was another old, old interview where lana was talking about sounding proud about being a waitress and her mother said that she wasn’t a very good one. seems like she’s been putting her down for a while and it breaks my heart, but i could be projecting because of my own mommy issues 💀

Honestly, fuck patty

A lot of people who I know who don't care for Lana's music have really been loving it, and not just because of the second half. The first half is some of her best songwriting ever, the guitar and piano work is just sublime and her performance is so captivating. I think it makes sense that this song is hitting so hard. Not to say that all her music doesn't because it does, but I think a lot of people don't take the time to properly listen to Lana so they dismiss her on a surface level, but A&W kind of demands to be heard and is catching people's attentions quicker.

Hope she samples something from Honeymoon

That's what I really want to point out though. I'm glad the song is capturing people's attention. I just have a feeling that if A&W was five minutes long with a cool outro that we know as the transition, people would be crying about another Chemtrails/Blue Banisters incoming. It's just glaringly obvious to me at this point. In my opinion, songs like White Dress, Chemtrails, Wildflower Wildfire, Blue Banisters deserved similar respect to A&W.
