[wait is WAH the closest we've gotten to a lana self-empowerment girlboss anthem? is that her Born This Way? ] also Grandfather is quite happy i would say and that's such a poetic and gorgeous song. those Get Free verses too, so gorgeous 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tombombadil01 258 Posted September 23 while we’re on Henry territory here I’ll be honest, i was gagged at first as i always am when Lana drops stuff but then time sets in and i get a clearer view of what i fw and what I don’t and like many have said Henry sounds like a cute little tune à la NAWWAL she wrote on a whim and tbh it can stay in the drafts as far as I’m concerned (not even going to mention the mixing sounds underwhelming and too quiet again and i really need good instrumental mixing this time). while we’re being honest, musically speaking, transitions in between eras have stopped being abrupt since after Norman, as in she has kinda glided from one album to the next keeping a similar sound, at times folksy, at times surf-rockish, with the occasional hip hop reference she’s been known for (which i think she’s only sticking to so that bratty fans don’t complain she’s stopped doing trap altogether, which I’m fairly sure she will at some point) I personally think what we are hearing is Lana trying to re-brand her sound. Sounds between BTD/UV/HM are quite different but when the song demos leaked we could hear the sounds from one era bleeding into the sound of the new era, but then eventually when the music came out it was fully formed. Right now we are going from one album to the next and the change is happening as we listen to it, which can be interesting but also boring. Having said that, I personally have no idea what to expect. Her next move could as easily be another collection of songs with her trying to settle into a newfound sound as a new sound altogether. I won’t lie, I would rather she smacked us in the face with something different but if she’s just going to give us more folk Americana i would at the very least love for it to be some kind of Ride meets Wild One idk something like Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska but I’m not sure that’s where she is emotionally right now. Ok sorry about the Ted talk 💀 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeminiLanaFan 48,883 Posted September 23 To this day, I never understood the hype LB got for Henry after having heard the snippet I mean, it’s cute, I like it, but the never ending COCC or BB slander read here for songs that sound like “demos” or “unfinished” or “too simple” and yet LB craves Henry… Never change, LB, never change. If the song is indeed scrapped from Lasso, she should just release it as a standalone single and we’ll give it the 1000 streams it will get in the end on Spotify 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whitelungswhitepalms 10,053 Posted September 23 To see the hate for Henry when I’ve been thirsting for it since it got tease is traumatic for me its so beautiful and the story it tells is so well written a lovely moody ballad about a misunderstanding between lovers with a country twang This album isn’t being rushed like her Covid albums that couldn’t be worked out due to restrictions. its going to be an epic album, I feel it 8 Quote IM STRONGER THANALL MY MEN...
