LDR10 will be an acoustic album like Sirens. 

 

 

 

When it's actually rerelease of Sirens (Lana's version) 

[ImenaOphelia 9,663]

manifesting transitions like the freak-art deco one

[honeymo0n 8,623]

we need ambient sounds back! they create such an immersive atmosphere

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,411]

 I have a feeling Zodiac will be Track 8 

[Thunder Revenant 20,966]

I really do not want Jack as the main producer for LDR 10.

 

I LOVE NFR and I think his impact on this great album can't be denied. However, I feel like the reason for this is that that album thrives on the newly discovered chemistry between Jack and Lana, they inspired each other a lot and therefore created something exciting and new (similar to what habend with Dan Auerbach for UV).

 

This spark is however missing from a lot of the stuff they did afterwards. You can still hear it on standout tracks like White Dress or A&W - but both of these were tracks Lana and Jack singled out as exciting collaborations themselves.

 

For most of the rest of their work together, it feels more like Lana had hin since she likes him and feels comfortable working with him. But that also meant he gave the "standard Antonoff treatment" to her demos and - at least in my opinion - that leads to a rather bleak and unexciting output.

 

When Lana worked with  Rick as her "comfort zone producer", it still felt like he was giving the songs a much more unique, Lana-specific sound. Jack on the other hand has a temdency of making everything sound alike, with a kinda vague and non-committing quality.

Candy necklace was the most streamed song on debut… 

tbh the only reason for that is because candy necklace is the song they pushed on new music friday playlists 

[shadesofloveduthenandnow 20,612]

The album will be a follow up to DYKTTATUOB and is tentatively titled Did You Know a Singer Can Still Be Looking Like a Sidepiece at Thirty-three. DYKASCSBLLASATT picks up where Taco Truck leaves off sonically and the lead single is Zodiac

i want more jon batiste 

[Lanaparadiserey 23,965]

Lowkey want Mike Dean to produce a few trap songs for this album, it would be incredible

Yeah, and it's like, he's not bad, but often times he's just good enough and while the songs are good I always feel like something is missing idk. His minimalistic productions are too empty, I feel like Lana has a lot of input and she makes the songs great bcs of her unique creative vision but like other projects he's worked on I don't really listen to anymore

Yes I think you nailed it! I still like all the music they’ve produced but I feel like it could have a little more oomph. To me it’s too compressed sounding, it’s hard to pick out individual instruments and everything blends together. He does nail it sometimes, like with White Dress, Venice Bitch, and A&W, but other times it’s a little bland. Rick, Emile, Paul Epworth, Dan, etc. really brought emotion to the production and it felt more atmospheric which suits her voice very well. 

[Mer 62,461]

I want whoever who made the arrangement for the LA To The Moon Tour’s “Off To The Races”

For me, Antonoff produced some of her greatest work ever, mainly:

 

Venice Bitch

Norman Fucking Rockwell! 
Mariner's Apartment Complex

A&W

The Greatest

Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard

White Dress

Happiness is a Butterfly

Chemtrails Over the Country Club

Taco Truck x VB

The problem is, he has a particular style, he's very acoustic, musical and mellow, and we know what to expect. With the exception of VB and AW where they went full-on experimental jamming. All the albums have clearly been produced by him in a similar style and there's little reinvention in the way of sound.
 

Comparatively, Born to Die was super pop, Ultra was super rock, LFL went hip-hop, Honeymoon went into jazz. I just feel like we won't get surprises like that anymore.

 

For the 10th album, I'm cool if it's Jack if she loves working with him so much. But can they take things into a new direction? Maybe a retro disco album like her Hollywood unreleased track? Or house music ala Beyonce and Drake? Or electonic pop Mark Ronson style....
 

Just a surprise sound would be nice.  Not another piano ballad as a lead single and then 10 more of those on the record... That's what's boring.

[Bonita 12,671]

we need to orchestrate arca meeting with lana like how she met jack 

[bluechemtrails 27,266]

I hope she tries to contribute more to the arts again, like she did with Honeymoon (I mean the  Gesamtkunstwerk)

[Eugene 26,672]

I'll just say that she's ready to give us a jazz album...

Are we too far into her career to get a Teenage Dream moment from Lana

We don't need her Teenage Dream that will inevitably lead to her Witness/Smile and Ocean Blvd outsold both of these flops. Consistency is key.
