Does Tommy have a large part on Peppers or is it mostly Lana's song?

Spoiler

Tommy is throughout the song, large part

I am not even kidding you, Spotify will not let me play The Grants, it keeps playing Snow On The Beach instead

I would say Tommy’s part is very significant. 50/50?

I hope we’re wrong at the end! Even if I don’t take value in the Grammys as a barometer of quality these days, it would be awesome to see Lana  nominated for the big ones again to see her being vindicated. I hope all this love she’s being receiving from the likes of Eilish, Rodrigo, Rosalía, SZA, Kim Petras, Madison Beer, etc translates into goodwill and recognition. She’s truly the closest we have to Kate Bush/Tori Amos/Fiona Apple for the millennials and Gen-Zers.

 

This is the only reason I want her to win a grammy. I also don't have respect for The Grammy's and wouldn't trust them as a barometer of quality, I just want her to finally receive that industry recognition.

 

As you pointed out, she's an artist's artist, meaning that some of her biggest fans are actually artists themselves, and I could give another thousand examples of celebrities saying that Lana is their number 1 and that she "just keeps getting better" and hopefully the academy will reflect that sentiment.

 

While I agree that Ocean Blvd is shaping up to less accessible than previous works, the idealist in me believes that, if the songs are good enough, their untraditional structure won't necessarily make them unaccessible. The two interludes seem to be the most unaccessible, but they're interludes, and as for something like Fingertips, I can't envision people discounting the other 13-15 incredible tracks because they find one song 'too weird.'

 

So yeah, could be the idealist in me but I really do think she has a chance (of at least being nominated.)

Does it work well like that or do you wish it was more Lana?

Pretty significant but not in a Nikki Lane or Miles Kane type way if that makes sense. Like she’s letting the feature shine but not too much HAHA

I think it works really well! It reminds me of a Pre-BTD unreleased song and it's a perfect song to shake your ass to at a club

To me it works a lot tbh, Lana has a lot of verses and they're all great, I'm not even a rap fan and stuff. And the instrumental is sick

It works really well. I heard the Tommy song it samples and I didn’t love it, but Peppers is amazing. Their voices are quite different but complement each other. It’s super catchy. Great production.

I'm so excited!!! Really gonna need this to leak before my house guest arrives next week

Do you have the free version 

[Dreamboy 1,576]

Obsessed with Peppers, holy f*ck

[Dreamboy 1,576]

I keep thinking, what's wrong this time that leakers hasn't already leaked the album?

In past eras, by this time, we would already have the entire album. Also, Harry's House leaked in full a month prior to its release. So, what's wrong with those leakers?

Why keep fooling us, leaking one song per time, some times in a shitty quality? I really hope they spent a lot of cash to get their hands on the album, this is the least they deserve!

It’s a bit like Carti’s ad libs in Summer Bummer, only actual lines. Throughout the whole track. It meshes well with Lana

Is the reason it’s considered LQ because some of the vocals are quiet in the chorus

 

It’s def LQ. Her vocals on this album have been clear but you can hear that the whole track sounds muffled.

[whitelungswhitepalms 10,090]

Gosh I’m so wet to listen to peppers but I need the bass to hit well so I gotta wait fuckkkkk
