Lana Del Rey and Quavo “Tough” - OUT July 3, 2024

[aGlassShipThatCanFly 5,695]

TBH I would be shocked if she DIDN’T announce the song on a random date at a random time. Her announcements literally never make any sense which makes speculating…Tough

[Venice Peach 53,571]

Maybe they don't want to overlap her release with Camila's. A lot of Interscope artists have been dropping in succession these months 

[DCooper 35,055]

I'm not expecting Tough to come with a pre-order tbh 

[honeymoon is alive 18,180]

what if they professionally recorded their performance and they are editing it to upload to youtube and then release the single and then release the full mv and then perform together on tv 

[Pink Flamingo 17,014]

They built the hype too much to wait for too long  so it would be reasonable to drop it on friday but if they don't want to overlap with Camila...then the next week, hopefully?? 

[Let the Light In 16,514]

 

WHEEEEEEN

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN

JUST TELL US WHEEEN

I still don’t like Quavo for how he played out Nicki Minaj but if he can do right by Lana Del Rey it will be forgiven

[LanaBalkana 6,278]

I don’t think I’m mentally ready for Lana to have another radio hit again  it’s been so long but I’m sure the song will do quite well. 

[Lanaparadiserey 20,788]

Hoping this isn’t released on Friday because I’m already seated for Camila’s album

Being a fan since 2011 has conditioned me to not believe this 

[Rico25 7,437]

I'm more excited about a new MV than I am about the song itself lol

I hope this era she releases more than one... OB deserved more

For me, one MV per era is enough (no one cares for MVs much anymore).

 

And I'm glad Tough is getting the music video treatment. 

 

I'm assuming that the title track 'Lasso' might also be getting one, or at least a home made video.

From an industry point of view, yeah it seems no one cares anymore because it's not as benefitial as it used to be, and I'm also sure younger generations won't care 'cause it's longer than a TikTok but I do

As a 90s baby and a fan of pop culture for me visuals are SO important and they have been in her career as well so I do care and still expect artists to have MVs

 

Fortunately some still have amazing music videos like Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Dua sometimes, etc.

I love MVs, it's a brilliant artform in itself. And Lana has surely had some mind-blowing ones.

 

Like Bjork once famously said "People are stupid. They don't understand music, you need to show them what it looks like." (Paraphrasing)

 

Lana's videos have had a huge impact on her early image, and helped make he rinto a pop star as much as the music itself has.

 

The only thing is: no one watches videos anymore, so it feels like money down the drain. Candy Necklace was one of her best (top 5 imo), but it got like 4 M views.

 

So, I'd rather see one great one per album that people are actually going to watch. You know what I mean?

 

BB had 3 videos that were only seen by die-hard fans. And they weren't even good.

 

So, for me, it's becoming a bit of a waste of time for her. One FABULOUS video per era ala Candy Necklace is parfait.

[Xenoblade 3 2,247]

Music videos and visuals are still important. It’s an artistic expression along with the music. It’s just more content for the fans to enjoy. It’s also STILL a great tool for promotion/marketing.

 

YouTube itself is a dying platform for music consumption. That’s why the views are so low now.

 

Short video clips go viral on other social medias all the time (twitter and TikTok). I don’t think some of these recent hits would have done as well without their music videos. People still watch videos just not on YouTube. Short clips from different section of the songs get posted everywhere. Without an actual music video, that would not be possible.

 

Also people essentially make their own music videos now on TikTok, but the official ones are still important to shape the artist vision of the song. And people can use the official videos and make their own edits with it. Just more promo for the song.

the fucking gag of it all if she ends up dropping a trap pop country album in September when we had all but held a funeral for Lasso
