We've never actually received a Lana album in September, despite her teasing September release dates before...   I wonder if we'll finally get one this year!

everything i could take from this message is that our grammys in danger

Perhaps this is our do-over year…

 

2020 Leap year: literally had the most traumatic day of my entire life on leap day that still heavily affects me to this very day

 

2024 Leap year: literally anything else happens

 

2020 Trump vs Biden: Biden wins, Trump claims election fraud

 

2024 Trump vs Biden: neither bozo wins and are somehow both disqualified from even running

 

2020 Chiefs vs 49ers: Chiefs win, not sure the repercussions of this (sports are a nonevent in my world)

 

2024 Chiefs vs 49ers: 49ers win which makes Lana happy since she’s rooting for them (tbh idrc either way again sports are a nonevent in my world)

 

2020 Lana Del Rey unexpectedly announces her follow up record to her previous Grammy-nominated album to be released in September that has acountry influence & production by Jack Antonoff: Lana loses at the Grammys and then the new record gets pushed back & kinda flops

 

2024 Lana Del Rey unexpectedly announces her follow up record to her previous Grammy-nominated album to be released in September that has acountry influence & production by Jack Antonoff: Lana wins at the Grammys and then the new record gets released on time as originally stated & is met with massive success

 

2024 here we come

i cant WAIT for this. i think lana’s country is going to be more folky n atmospheric and i absolutely love that sound from her. the title ‘Lasso’ is also just adorable  i dont like country but i think lana will do it right. every ‘country’ type song she’s written has been amazing

    I'm a flop. I love you, Honeymoon, I swear!

[Rust Dress 40,286]

just no twang PLEASE.. unless it’s hey blue baby 

[Thunder Revenant 20,977]

I hope this features none of the tracks listed on the first page but Henry, Come On.

 

All of these other tracks were boring and way too straightforward

I know at least half of the people here are pretending to be happy about this

I feel like country music is the only genre that Lana can't pull off yet. She's done pop, alternative and jazz, but they all sound unique and special to her, you can tell it's Lana, whereas in country music she tries to follow the most basic rules and doesn't try to make it her own (songs like Breaking Up Slowly are proof of that). If she continues this tendency, I can safely say I'm not excited

This is my worry too.

oh I laughed so hard at this cause it’s so real

[mlittle11 12,234]

she seems very passionate about this project and it seems like it all came together so quickly. we havent seen lana dive into any type of world/genre like this in a long time. i can already feel that she put a lot of passion and love into this project. i mean my god… it seems like she bought a place in nashville to be absorbed into that culture. if ‘hey blue baby’ and ‘i must be stupid’ came out of just wanting to make a couple one-off country songs, i cant imagine what shes putting together now 

[menslayer 18,901]

i know her idea of country music is IYLDWM and BUS so i’m pretty excited

Am I insane for thinking this could be a 16-18 track album? 

That much cuntry music on one record 

 

Jk, I’m sure I’ll love it. I like her country collabs/covers better than a lot of her early hip hop collabs. 

[MrFameKills 11,123]

I think her dipping her toes in the genre before aren't really a signifier of what's to come. She seems really passionate about it and probably deep enough in it to give it her own signature.

 

So i'm not really expecting Breaking Up Slowly 2.0 (which is a song i love but i get what people mean).

 

Henry Come On sounds so Lana, i'm expecting that direction

Wut? She did a bunch of country last year and where did she go wrong? I personally can’t stand most country, but I genuinely liked most of the country stuff she’s been doing.

 

It seemed really random at first, but I could sense that it was really important to her. Whether it’s a creative shift or just a new area she’s exploring, I support whatever motivates and inspires her. 

[Olympia 4,436]

I just know that so far I've loved every album by her, and that's not the case with any other artist for me. So I'm looking forward* to whatever she'll release, because I am pretty sure I'll love it, too. 😊

 

*... and this time I'm especially excited for this cause I love country and related genres. I suppose though, as some others wrote, it might indeed be more some kind of Americana, American standards, folk thing, which sounds just as fantastic. I feel like a child before Christmas. 😍

[White Dress 6,901]

I’m… for the first time with Lana… just not excited. The sound, the title, the switching up her persona… not for me. Hopefully it’s more Americana than Country.

🎶 I got my cowboy boots on tonight. Walkin’ after midnight like Pasty Cline 🎶

 

I’m just being silly but I’m interested in hearing Lana’s county album I always wanted a studio version of Prettiest Girls in Country Music but her cover of Country Roads did for me as it was not better than the original so I’ll guess I’ll be hoping for the best. It’s gonna be so funny seeing everyone in cowboy boots for the next era 😂

[World At War 4,705]

By the way, Zella Day is also coming out w a country record this year (under her duo Chaparelle). Wonder how many people will follow this trend
