She's not ready to put it out and that's that. She doesn't owe us anything - it's a privilege to get it when we get it. doesn't matter how long it's been in the making. Especially when she's already dropped three albums this decade 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heroindealer 10,919 Posted 3 hours ago if she’s really about to scrap the country idea and nikki lane and turn it into sumn more lana-esque, southern gothic and dark then I’m definitely willing to wait 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She's switching up the style and production. " instead of mostly scrapping it" - source? "'I''m quite sad stuff like henry come on is getting scrapped" - source? I'm honestly not using any tone aside from 'chill, girl' and 'no one is scrapping the songs'. She's not happy with the material yet, but she's working on it. Don't worry about Henry. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChaoticLipster 24,533 Posted 19 minutes ago This album will come out in spring or summer most likely, no way she’ll wait till 2026. Lana doesn’t like to sit on things too long if she feels it’s ready, otherwise she’ll start having doubts. 0 Quote Arches are Illusions solid at first glance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She's not happy with the material yet, but she's working on it. Don't worry about Henry. if she had what was almost a full album in February (which i'm guessing is true, since she announced it which means it was nearing completion, and since she said it had been in the making for 4 years), and if she doesn't like it anymore, it seems to me she's going to get rid of most of what she had. she's definitely going to keep some songs but scrap some others to replace them with others. i agree it's not exactly clear to what extent she's just going to rework the songs she already has, but the way she worded stuff the other day makes me think that she doesn't even know in which direction she wants to go yet, so i think she has the intention to write completely new stuff, which means that part or most of what was intended for release originally is indeed getting scrapped. it's also what happened with lust for life and blue banisters whose final versions aren't technically adored by the fandom. i'd say there's a lot of discussion about the original lust for life and the original rock candy sweet, which she ended up mostly scrapping in favor of something that isn't deemed her greatest work. so i'm excited for southern gothic but i don't think we should take it for granted that any reworking she does is necessarily for the better. i'm happy for the majority of people who are happy we're not getting a country album though and i know you might not mean it like that but imo it's already quite unpleasant to say stuff like "source?" 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
