What's even most surprising, the songs will be performed by Lana Del Rey herself! 

Such a legend. I thought Billie would be performing them all.

The lyrics will contain words 😍🚀❤️

The words will contain vowels, and perhaps even syllables  Rob will post from the studio confirming 

but fr these insiders are such a brainrot at this point.. they’ll just rephrase and re-state the obvious/rumour and call themselves reliable  

btw I heard taylor is gonna torture with the 39th version of poets as soon as some big album drops shortly

I would LOVE a greatest hits album tbh… as long as A) High By The Beach is on it, B) all the songs have newer mixing, mastering, and maybe even new production elements. And C) there's a new song. 

[Delete NOW 2,326]

Greatest Hits is not happening esp in the streaming era. It would tank her album sales as the streams will be shared by two albums. She’s a streaming artist just as much as she’s a vinyl seller. She’s not Sh4nia Tw4in or something that has zero streaming presence. Releasing a Greatest Hits wouldn’t affect her sales. It would for L4na.

Born To Die is on track to become the longest charting female album of all time. They’re not going to want to mess with that.

A Greatest Hits album would be cool, but to me that would signify that Lana’s pretty much done making new music. Later down the line tho, yes.

Are they reliable?

 

Just in: Lana del Rey is set to release music in the future🚨

[Vertimus 9,555]

I don't think a 'Best Of' or 'Greatest Hits' album will show the world (or reflect) the real Lana by any means. I'd prefer a 'Best of' between the two because then at least someone--preferably Lana herself--who knows the scope and depth of her music can make educated choices.

 

I wouldn't think much of a Greatest Hits album that contains Video Games, Off To the Races, the Cedric Gervais Summertime Sadness remix, Young & Beautiful, Ride, and then a smattering of tracks released as singles like Love, Lust For Life, Venice Bitch, A&W, the OB title track and one of her poems.  

 

I'd prefer Lana wait and release a career retrospective that is truly representative of her body of work, like Tori Amos did in 2006 with A Piano.

Totally agree, if you want to listen to the former then Spotify have a Lana essential playlist 

 

but to me her greatest hits are the ones that are barely known by the GP

Full agree, Dita. I'd like the world to have the chance to really hear Lana's very best, not just the ones the general public knows or sort of knows, which I don't think are reflective of her catalog for the most part.

That's a good idea. With only really essential tracks from each record (Ride, West Coast, OB, etc) to showcase her absolute best. 

 

My only request would be for Lana not to curate this project herself because y'all know we'd end up with random songs like Blue Banisters, Candy Necklace and Arcadia... Fun fact: Tough has already outstreamed all these songs on Spotify in just 3 weeks.

What would your picks for a Lana Greatest Hits / Best Of be? Assuming you can only pick 17-22 songs.

My taste is not typical of this fanbase, generally speaking. And I'm not a great fan of any of the OB album. 

 

If limited to 22, I would choose: 

 

Video Games

Summertime Sadness (the album original) 

Ride

Yayo

Bel Air 

Gods & Monsters 

Cola 

Wait For Life 

West Coast 

Sad Girl 

Old Money

Terrence Loves You

Swan Song 

13 Beaches 

Heroin 

The Greatest

Venice Bitch 

Yosemite 

If You Lie Down With Me  

Arcadia 

Wildflower Wildfire 

Let the Light In 

 

And if I could select some additional tracks, they would be: 

 

National Anthem 

Radio 

American 

Brooklyn Baby 

Is This Happiness

Music To Watch Boys To 

Salvatore

When the World Was At War 

White Mustang 

Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems 

Mariners Apartment Complex 

Hope 

Chemtrails Over the Country Club 

White Dress 

Violets For Roses, and 

Fishtail 

 

AND if I could include unreleased songs, I'd add: 

 

Live or Die (original)

Last Girl on Earth

Dragon Slayer

Unidentified Flying Bill  

Fine China

I Talk to Jesus

If I Die Young 

Serene Queen

Fun fact, I was actually one of the people who was meant to receive one! I'll never forget scrolling through my email right before going to sleep that night at 4am and then seeing her little "Hai" DM notification. My heart stopped. Anyway, I never received it and I know of at least 3 other people who were also meant to receive one, but didn't get theirs either. I'm assuming she became busy and never got around to shipping them out. I'm always hoping that one day it'll show up on my doorstep though! x

 

 

Well yes, the picture is of Lana on August 29th, 2016. I'll attach another picture of Lana from the day where you can see her face better. I wonder if it is hinting at anything or if it's just a picture that Anna likes, but I suppose we should keep our eyes peeled! x

idk if it's worth mentioning, but now she had a photo or video shoot in Newport, Rhode Island with a vintage aesthetic very reminiscent of Lana

https://www.instagram.com/p/C9445VlpUaH/?img_index=1

the post is accompanied by 'Cola'. 😭 She must be a huge Lana fan. Some days ago she posted an a capella of Summertime Sadness.

In my delulu dreams she's a model for one of Lana's next music videos, but probably it's just for her own.

 

edit: looks like it was just a commercial for tennis clothes

Its time we had that. Lfl needs her sister

No because imagine if we got an album in the spirit of LFL next year because of the election this year

[blackenedrussianpoetry 2,439]

st. eustace episcopal church on lake placid

must’ve been the place where she was in charge of being the cantor and singing w her grandma

 

although i found something but im always sure someone might have covered it

[blackenedrussianpoetry 2,439]

So i was searching up lana’s ancestry and came to her grandma Cynthia who passed away in 2021. What i had found was, https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/nytimes/name/cynthia-grant-obituary?id=31880246.

 

on the later paragraphs it was told that:

her grandchildren David, Elizabeth, Caroline, and Charles (im sure this is charlie); and her great-grandchildren Noah, Greta, Azalea, Judah, and Phoenix. 
 

Im kind of wasted so i cant think straight now but does this mean that david was a lost firstborn of rob and patty? Or could it be from maternal side - knowing that Cynthia was from Rob’s side, not Patty

 

same question goes to those great granchildren
