sometimes i feel like i'm being gaslit on this forum... Lana's vocals on songs like Sweet and Fingertips sound SO BAD to me, she's not actually a soprano, she's a mezzo and a lot of her super high notes she has been doing sound so...shrill. I really can't tell if it's the mixing, but I feel like it must be because her vocals on White Dress never bothered me

 

 

Spoiler

Maybe its the quality of the leaks? I'm not sure. Someone on a certain website said those that leaked are demo versions but I highly highly doubt that by this point. Those demos should've leaked months ago when the laptop was stolen, if there are any demos to begin with. We know how leakers can't stand to sit on something for longer than a month tops

I really don't know why they say that Lana has the Arcadia vocals in these songs. In fact, she is using her lower register. If I had to compare it to one type of voice, it would be White Dress.

 

Spoiler

it is more like her white dress vocals, which is why it confuses me why i don't like the vocals on these songs when i enjoy the vocals on white dress.

In some weird way, Blue Banisters feels like a compilation of "Lana's favorites" kind of like how LFL feels to me, but this feels like a totally new record that's got more quality, from what I've heard, rather than a random collection of tracks. Much higher quality than BB was for me, it seems like and having more playability whereas BB is just good to turn on during a shower or cooking or something mundane. This'll be a "let me get fucked up on the beach or let me cry while driving down the highway" album again and i'm so fucking here for it

For the love of everything holy can we stop derailing the thread to discussions about Blue Banisters

 

If you're bored or have nothing else about Ocean Blvd to discuss, please go to that album's thread or the Random Lana Discussion thread.

Comparing the new album to the last album before it is nothing new to this forum. We do it every era, it's relevant to the discussion. Idk why it bothers you, just keep scrolling

ok... i'm reminded a lot of her vocals on Blue Banisters from 2:24-2:34. Honestly I think she sings too fast? Like half the time it sounds like she's trying to catch up with herself and then she goes into a high note that sounds off lol. 

also i'm not being a hater i just genuinely don't understand why i don't like these vocals when I like White Dress vocals that are very high

obviously BB is so powerful it's became a reference point for everything else lana does

eh not really. but it's relevant to the conversation because it can help decipher the next direction of Lana's music. so for ocean blvd...

Spoiler

you can tell some vocals are similar or some instrumentals but it's totally a different sound from blue banisters, which i'm very grateful for. i liked a few tracks on blue banisters and i don't hate that record, but it just felt like a random playlist of unreleased rather than a totally new album. ocean blvd on the other hand is dancing along the lines of new material and different sounds that she's toying with and you can tell even from the title track. it's completely different from blue banister's title track, where it's minimalist, but ocean's title track has more than just a simple piano or pulsing synth sound

Can't go a day without those "Blue Banisters is a mixtape" thinkpieces 

 

Really curious about Candy Necklace. That snippet and those instruments don't really scream "massive," but I'm excited to see where it goes.

100% agree, BB and LFL feel like a compilation, whereas this feels like an entire world of its own (from what we've heard)

Take it back, filth

Jk ab the insult I just love it actually but I do miss her deeper register 

[mmarrythenight 412]

Spoiler

also fingertips is the most captivating song by lana in forever, i can't stop replaying it... the repeated melody throughout is just so beautiful

Even COCC felt like it's own little avenue, just left from NFR's hometown. But Blue Banisters felt like a pitstop, just like how LFL was a pitstop between Honeymoon's hometown and NFR's. This feels like we're going to a new destination and on a wild endeavor somewhere totally new. Off the map, somewhere else. I can't wait to hear what all we haven't heard from this album so far, fucking hell it's gonna end all of us

literally what I said

I cannot wait until Friday when someone normal will have the album and l-word it because I'm tired of having to witness the manic episodes of the people that currently have it (or pretend that they do). it's sad, concerning and disturbing and not half of the slay they think it is

fingertips has me re-analyzing every single lana song lol

I know what mean on both, but for me it's flipped. White Dress has grown on me, but something was just off to my ears at first. It's not a favorite still, but again, it's growing on me. I like Fingertips moreso for the lyrics than anything, but the vocals fit the emotion/style and idk why it's different for me really though, but it is.
