C'mon y'all... just listen to Miss Peppers, you won't regret it

 

 

if people have the willpower not to definitely dont because it'll sound soooo much better in high quality. I just listened to the grants on Apple Music and for the first time noticed so many subtle instruments/inflections in the back of my headphones. peppers sounds like it has the most complex production of any song on the album thus far so it needs to be heard in maxxxximum qual

At the top of my head, title track, Text Book, Wildflower, Sweet Carolina, Black Bathing Suit, Violet For Roses and Arcadia

 

EDIT: oh, and also Beautiful

Black Bathing Suit has existed since early 2020, so not that

 

It's Text Book, BB, Arcadia, The Trio, Beautiful, Violets For Roses, WW and Sweet Carolina

do we know if the background vocalists appear anywhere else on the album? I think they really add something and its a shame if they might only be on the first two songs.

 

From the credits we found in a German store they're only in the first two tracks. Melodye Perry, one of the backing vocalists, has worked with Lana in Thunder and Text Book, so they might make more tracks in the future.

Someone said that will leak TT x VB on sunday, do u think that's when the full album will be leaked?

C'mon we can't get to monday without the full album, just imagine if we only get it by thursday morning AND only bc of it being released on NZ where it already will be the 24th

The way if she dropped every single fully formed song she’s ever made that was never released as like a fucking 200+ track mega compilation she would literally chart #1 for over a year

I am definitely going to try and wait. I already wish I waited for the songs I heard earlier. It’s so hard though!! Good thing it’s only a week away!! I’m glad we are all in this together.

Are they the same vocalists she worked with in Summertime (Gershwin) cover ?

Mmm but it wasn’t meant for Chemtrails either tho it clearly doesn’t fit the vibe nor the sound, but yeah 

[Carmen Del Rey 2,075]

Spoiler

no but for real does Lana not sing on Grandfather at all? that was the strangest feature ever, she just let Riopy take over the whole song which made it seem like it was HIS song. I was very sad, it ruined the song for me if I'm being completely honest. she should have just given him a verse... I totally thought it was Charlie singing at first 💀

lowkey hope so, i mean Lana is a versatile artist but it does feel like in the last three albums (ocean blvd, cocc and bb) she is kinda not leaving a certain comfort zone she created for herself kinda relying on the same elements for most of her tracks minus some songs (i said MINUS SOME SONGS i swear if someone replys with "what about peppers??) 

and while the results can be great i feel like if she doesn't switch her main sound up a bit for the next album it could start to get very repetitive

i mean just look at BTD-UV-HONEYMOON three completely different sounds back to back, that diversity is lacking in her recent projects and again, i'm sure Ocean Blvd is gonna be great, but for the next album i think she should go back to exploring again

 

pls don't fight me if u dont agree

Omg this is what I’m most afraid of - Ocean Boulevard being similar to COCC and BB and then she keeps in this comfort zone… I really dislike COCC and BB, sorry guys  when I heard COCC I was sure that I would never dislike more a Lana’s album, and then BB came out

Ocean Boulevard title track didn’t get me either as I thought it was a more produced version of BBS songs so I’m afraid she continues that way. oh but I didn’t hear any leaks so I may be reaaaally wrong (hope so )

Just broke up with my boyfriend. Thankfully the album isn’t too far away… it’s gonna be a pretty baby summer girlies and boys. Someone give me taco truck immediately

Just listened to “The Grants” not sober and okay maybe I see why grant truthers feel like that. The progression of the verses have the darkness of A&W yet the chorus etc (idk what they’re called)  are more uplifting and I think this is truly a better opener than I originally thought. We need to just let Ultraviolence 2.0 rest because she’s coming with (perhaps) her magnum opus. Listening to lyrics, I (ofc) googled and the lyrics surrounding the thought of her death and the memories she hopes to bring to her deathbed I think that it’s truly a beautiful song. Maybe I don’t like the intro as much, because Ms Thunder girlies haven’t grown on me but I’ve listened to the song enough to appreciate it now

Ik I’m late but when I listened at first I didn’t like it, but gave it a second chance

I guess Lana's uncle died while hiking the rockey mountains 

 

Maybe that's what the whistle is for, she doesn't want us to get lost while hiking

Honestly fr. That’s what I said when I first heard OB.  I didn’t even like it at first but it grew on me. A&W was def blew my mind because it felt so different to what she’s been doing, but then The Grants was more like OB. (They’re both beautiful songs) But I agree I’m hoping this isn’t a jazzier BB. (I have hope but I agree in BB and COCC being “comfortable” albums and I’m ready to move from the antonoff piano ballads). I just hope she’s happy with what she’s doing, and it seems she is.

Well, OB actually decreased on me  when I first heard it with all its layers I thought “I’m sure I’ll end up loving this song” ( I don’t usually love songs at first listens) but I’ve heard it several times and.. meh. The Grants has a better melody so I’m still hopeful 

 

I also loved A&W, actually I loved it from the first time. It reminded me of AKA days which I thought she would never recall. I’m glad that at least we have this song. The last time I liked a lana’s song that much (not considering unreleased tracks) was with title track of COCC.

 

but yes, I think she’s doing what she wants to. Hope she’s happy but it’ll be better if she’s happy with songs I like

💯 agree with this. Best post i've seen here so far on the this topic, sums up everything.

 

i was kinda hoping Ocean Boulevard will have that new sound. But with Sweet, The Grants, Fingertips, etc, it's definitely in the comfort zone.
 

Still, if it ends up being a good record, i'll be willing to look past it. 
 

(But the next record better not be chalk-full of piano ballads, lanita 😑)
