Lasso - Pre-Release Thread: OUT September 2024

[aGlassShipThatCanFly 7,239]

My personal theory is the album shifted after the Grammys this year. She recorded Tough soon after and we know from an insider it was being considered as a possible last minute addition to the album. I’m excited to hear from insiders about the writing timeline 10 years from now.

I have my doubts about this album after today's interview

She just doesn't seem very passionate about it in general

Every other era she'd post various visuals on IG etc, and in interviews she'd talk more about her inspirations and the sound for the album. That is missing this time

And now she's just come out and said to not expect anything very different from everything else she's done

That surprises me because this was touted as a country album

There's so much potential within that genre to branch out and do smthn different so if she thinks this album sounds similar to her other work, then

We'll see but idk

Bae we're talking about the same person that described Video Games and Ride as country songs we're in for something unexpected 

[Terrence Loves Me 72,445]

If she's not happy with it can she please rework it or scrap it and come up with something brand new we dont want more of these half assed releases like chemtrails and blue banisters, i miss when her era's all felt different now they just kinda blend together since nfr

But she hasn't described anything as anything, and that's my point

Usually she gives some crackheaded rundown on the sound of the album. Like when she said NFR would sound like the Red Hot Chili Peppers

Anyway we'll see

Yes. This.

It's just increasingly wishy-washy, and her comments on this album don't give me much hope

I'd rather wait another 6 months or whatever to get something artistically progressive

She hasn't said (or done) anything to suggest that this album is going to be anything other than more of the same

You can't just do the same thing and call it country

Tough is not country just because she filmed the mv on a farm and wore some cowboy boots

Like is that a microcosm of Lasso or

idk who i was shading tbh, i am besties with all inside-hers! except @Lindsay Lohan ig, we hate each other... sometimes! 

 

I don't hate anyone

 

[DCooper 36,319]

She's been working on this album for 4 years so I don't think it's going to be half assed (also none of her albums are half assed at all in my opinion.)

 

It sounds like this Vogue interview may have happened backstage right before she went on and caused the show's delay so it's not surprising that she would have a rushed answer with her head elsewhere if that's the case.

[Mer 58,945]

I’ve never heard her being so self-deprecating about a new album. It’s like she struggles to talk about this album in general?

 

I think in her head this project is already hated (her false memory of the reception to the initial announcement being tepid in February), and so she’s trying to fix that by saying it won’t sound too drastically different from other records of hers?

Kinda bizarre tbh. I don’t think anyone’s forcing her to put this album out if she’s doesn’t want to…

[shadesofblue 12,531]

I kinda think the reason she sounds less confident about this album is because a lot of her fans (more so in the beginning of her announcement) have not loved the idea of her going country. The public perception, especially media in the beginning of her career, have not treated her very well. I think she might be scared how people will perceive it, it’s risky. People now seem like they’ve warmed up to the idea, I think all the other country albums that came out have made it more mainstream. In a way it might help the album

[honeymoon is alive 19,975]

I think that the question here is that she regrets talking about Lasso on that Pre-Grammy event and now everything related to it is a burden to her

Its upsetting bc lanas never really done actual country before  shes done folk but those are different things

it was a pretty silly place to announce an album tbh. It was a private event with no regular fans in the live audience who would’ve given her the reaction I think she wanted.

Well I hope there’s multiple cowboys on the album cover

[star Iux 5,912]

I think we're kinda overthinking this. There's nothing to indicate that she hates the album. She's never been super talkative about her projects, we got like a few words about OB and then had to wait for months before getting a snippet I don't think it's that serious she's just unreliable.

I want multiple cowboys in my alaska size king bed yet we will both probably have to settle for some hipster nonsense.

[LanaBalkana 6,602]

I find it really funny how Jack said that he’s super excited about Lasso, that they’ve been doing amazing stuff etc and meanwhile Lana is like “yeah sure whatevs”
