I even think single/preorder in September and album in October seems unrealistic. Single/preorder in September and then album in November is really the only option I see left for this year.

She constantly breaks first week records and the label is absolutely not going to do anything that risks that. When she did that livestream talking about wanting to surprise drop like The Weeknd, she said in the very same breath (something along the lines of) “I’d never be allowed to do that” 6 Quote "Don’t forget me" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Hoping I’m wrong tho!) Album out 5 or 6 weeks after preorder / lead single / official announcement has been done a lot this passed year, including Billie and Finneas, who are both signed to Interscope as well. So, an October release is still possible, but it’d have to be announced like in the next weeks. If by September 10th, we heard nothing, I won’t get my hopes up for a 2024 release, tbh. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a route that almost no one is taking these days, including Beyoncé or Taylor, who both did it in the past. Plus Lana is a big vinyl seller: to miss on these sales and numbers on week 1, I’d be the first surprised by it. The only way I see a digital release before a physical one would be for an album Interscope doesn’t bet on for big numbers, like an audiobook (who wouldn’t even go through the usual streaming platforms) or a cover album. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d be very surprised if she announced the album let’s say next week for a September release. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's gonna surprise drop on September 5th just like Chemtrails Over The Country Club did 9 Quote "Swan Song. It’s on my album Honeymoon. It’s the antithesis of hopefulness. It’s about trying to find beauty in giving up. If I had my way, I would continue to persist in all areas of my life, but it can be quite challenging because I can be too trusting too soon."

I guess I haven’t been paying that close of attention to release schedules overall, I’m more used to the more traditional 2 or 3 month rollout. I do think the shorter a prerelease the better with how people’s attention spans are, and I’m all for a month and a couple weeks prerelease 6 Quote "Don’t forget me" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also love a short prerelease, and yeah with 2024 being one of the busiest years ever for major releases, and the fact that we do move on very quickly from album to album, labels decided to have shorter prereleases so that hype doesn’t die down. Here’s Metacritic’s upcoming schedule of going albums so far. https://www.metacritic.com/browse/albums/release-date/coming-soon/date#google_vignette It helps with what is realistic or not for our expectations 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UltraviolentJack 2,811 Posted August 16 Yeah it’s very apparent it’s not coming in September if at all lmao. I’m willing to bet money Lasso is scrapped with her working on her next project already. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
