Lasso - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

Just now, Thats why they call me Dita said:

This reminds me of her biggest faux pas saying “listen like you listened to video games” and made everyone think Arcadia was going to be on par with video games 

Lowkey yes because everyone misunderstood that. I think with this statement she meant that listen to it like you listen to an unknown artist. Because she was unknown to many when she dropped Video Games.

 

This reminded me of that Arcadia cover art as well and that was...something. But Henry's cover art or that polaroid really reminded me of NFR/Violet era when she changed her whole Instagram layout to yellowish filter photos.

Nothing will ever be as bad as NFR and that’s a fact. 
 

HIAB snippet in early 2018, MAC/VB and album title in September 2018, Hope in January, Doin Time in May, TG/FIILY randomly leaking in July because the release date changed and they couldn’t be bothered to tell google and YouTube, the “album in a few months” comments at her shows, and EVERY single song having a snippet by the time the album came out. 
 

I do wish she wouldn’t have posted Henry so early, because it’s turning into this era’s happiness is a butterfly/Tulsa Jesus Freak. Isk why but I’m still hopeful that something will be released this year 

And then HIAB as released was such a disappointment to me. I rank it among the worst of her officially-released songs, which is a very short list. I don't see that happening with Henry, if Henry ever sees release.

I agree about what she meant by the Video Games comment, and while I didn't care much for Arcadia when it was released, it's grown on me more than any other LDR song and I love it now.

Both Arcadia and Country Roads, Take Me Home are hitting hard right now… I know many of you don’t like Drew, but I hope he is involved on at least one track on Lasso (although he’s been busy with FJM lately, working on his new LP).

I don’t dislike Drew per se, but I do think his solo work with Lana sounds a bit uninspired/one note, but that’s not a Drew exclusive complaint. I think Country Roads is absolutely beautiful, but it’s basically just piano and I think if Lana would have enlisted Drew or Jack to help Zach it would have been elevated a little bit. 
 

I think Ocean Blvd is a perfect example of that, a good number of songs have more than one of her producers working together and the songs sound so carefully crafted. 
 

I hope Lasso has more of her producers working together, and I want Luke to have a big hand in the production since he’s a Nashville country producer and I think that’s what Lana needs for Lasso to feel as authentic as possible

I don’t actually dispute this, video games just holds such a special place in my heart as it was the song that made me discover Lana and I still remember how I felt listening to her for the first time!

 

it’s hard to beat pure nostalgia and a fond memory, so nothing could’ve been like video games to me

Higher then other albums for sure, but absolutely not set in stone even slightly

Ultra rare opinion but I love Arcadia and i think it’s on par with Video Games it’s one of my favorites of the last three albums and def my fav on Blue Banisters. It doesn’t have the same snooze effect Bartender has being played live

 

maybe it you “listened to it like you listened to video games” you’d agree 

I agree it's always been a good song i never understood why people say its boring, it's literally beautiful like are we not hearing the same thing? Then again these are the same people that say Beautiful is boring and Bartender is good so they're tasteless wbk

[jazzlessbaby]

Bartender slander... Imagine how tired we are.

An album full of God Knows I Tried, Yosemite, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, Old Money and Tomorrow Never Cames would work wonders for my soul 

[Embach]

She can do everything she wants to in terms of music, like any kind of sound or lyrics with any kind of producer and I'll respect that and I'm sure I'll love it. But I need Dan Heath back. Even for a one song. A country song with a twist of an orchestra would be good, wouldn't it? But it doesn't even have to be for Lasso, just even collaborate for a soundtrack for a new upcoming movie. I miss his contribution. I just need his epic orchestral vibes back...

Has Lana followed photographer Amelia Kring for a while now or did it happened recently?
