We had 10 albums and 1000 unreleased songs that leaked we can hardly complain really, if she takes 5 years it would probably do her good.  One things for sure is she isn’t gonna release albums every 2 years forever it will come to an end eventually,  I think she has probably 2-3 more minimum after this but those will be over the next 15 years or so.

 

One thing that shocks me is how she refuses to re-release AKA, she really underestimates how good she still was and iconic in her Lizzy days. It would 100% sell well.  She’s playing around here.  

 

 

Agreed on AKA. Whenever she does take a break, she should drop that to tie the fans over. 

 

That being said. I'm not sure if she'll be taking breaks at all. She said she wants to die knowing that she's given everything she's got to give. 

 

I reckon she'll take a break after 'Person' because she'll get pregnant, but still be back in a few years. 

 

Bob Dylan released 40 albums and I can see LDR making at least 20.

I really want tea like the fact that the opening track of the album will be an interpolation of the Nature Boy (I really believe in the existence of Nature Girl)...

or The Mirror = The Right Person Will Stay song

I'd spend my life savings on the Mirror being an opener. I'm so bored with her album openers since White Dress. But I'd bet my entire life on the opening track being another ballad. Feel free to come and hunt me down if it ain't. 
 

It's been nearly a decade since she's opened an album with something other than a ballad... So, expect sth like Roses Bloom for You, Sweet Carolina part 2 or The Grants part 2. 🥱

the fenway song being an opener just feels right to me. imagine playing the album for the first time and the first thing you can hear is those cunty chimes... i should try to remake it

that song kinda tell me that this album might not be even country anymore, it's gonna be more pop or at least -  genre-bending/fusion/experimental or whatever the fuck she is doing, i am intrigued that this is not the same boring country nikki lane thing anymore

I just don’t see her retiring any time soon. Could be wrong but she’s always talking about her muse being a constant in her life that follows her around like a bird in her ear. Maybe she’ll take a short break but I don’t see her slowing down for long, really. The only time she does that is when she’s feeling creatively blocked, which isn’t often. I think this album has just had a lot of labor and love and thought put into it and that’s why she’s taking so long to reveal anything, so as not to give away anything at the wrong time

She has already sold all the album material 

[Rock Candy 2,167]

If she personally once thought that Violet was music album, then suddenly TRPWS is also a poetry book... the original cover is for the book 

 

Oh, my fever is rising, I'm delirious

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 42,474]

Maybe she is still figuring out how to turn this album into a glass ship that can fly

I agree with you, which is why I was surprised to hear she is planning stadium shows for the summer. I believe this is the main reason her music is set to be released around May rather than earlier, as she is probably taking a break beforehand.

 

I must admit I find her recent actions somewhat bewildering, especially marrying someone she has only known for six months. I am not here to judge, though. We truly know very little about her personal life or the reasons behind her actions. However, it is difficult to ignore entirely and not wonder if everything is alright with her. She has been known to go off course at times, so to speak.

 

Regarding marrying someone she's known only six months--I think that's sufficient time for some people. And Lana is impulsive, as I think we know.

 

Her time of life has to be figured in--she's approaching 40---especially since she's said she wants a child (one or more). She could always adopt, but of course she probably wants to bear a child of her own, especially being a Cancer.  

 

I agree her actions have been bewildering--but when have they not been? She keeps her own counsel and that's part of her fascination. "My mother always said I was a chameleon soul..."

YES. THIS album It seems like it's going to be Alternative/Indie, folk, americana, rock and some synth pop (like Say yes to heaven)... I want some rock songs by luke

[Vertimus 10,025]

I don't see Lana retiring permanently anytime soon, if ever--she loves the stage that she calls her home--but if she wants a child, whether by bearing a child or adopting one (or more), she's going to have to take a break of some kind---not that the muse will stop speaking to her because she's pregnant or caring for an infant. She'll always keep her voice recorder close at hand for ideas, as she's said she does. A lot of female musicians, from Patti Smith to Carly Simon, Kate Bush and Tori Amos recorded albums right through their pregnancies and afterward, while they had very young children. 

 

A lot of musicians--no matter what happens to them or tragedy befalls them--keep creating. It's lifeblood to them, it's their job, it's in their blood and bones. That's why we have artists with huge catalogs, like Prince, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen, Tori Amos, and R.E.M., and more contemporary artists like Lady Gaga, Lana, Twenty-One Pilots, Beyonce, and Father John Misty, who are on their way to having huge catalogs.

She is currently in a high profile phase. If she takes a longer break, she'll be out of the picture and she knows it. She would have to start all over again and would be roughly where she was in 2021/2022. I think she will continue to release regularly, but then take  longer breaks in autumn/winter like last year.

I agree. She's at the point in her career where, due to her 13-year career as LDR, even though she's not widely known across America in the manner, say, Taylor Swift is, she's becoming an institution to the cognoscenti and professionals in the music industry—especially as she's been widely praised by Springsteen, Baez, Smith, Love, Nicks, Misty, Swift, etc.--she's not an ingenue, she's not 'fresh,' she can't be promoted as a break-out star or the equivalent—which the music industry loves, especially if female. 

 

This career period has plus and minuses, which a lot of musicians, especially female artists like Joni Mitchell (For The Roses, Judgment of the Moon & Stars) and Tori Amos (Curtain Call, 16 Shades of Blue) have written songs about. It's a thorny situation and time of life. Lana wrote about it herself in Arcadia and Black Bathing Suit. 

 

So TRPWS may play an important role in how Lana continues to be interpreted and perceived, which is perhaps behind her apparent hesitancy regarding the new album. As I said yesterday, she's got a lot on her plate at the moment.

(So, I thought how it's quite possible that Lana will change her name again, so I took the liberty of imagining something a little more out of the box)

the fact that everyone and their mother is complaining about the wait in this thread while also getting on their high horse to say she’s not a songwriting machine when people say they’re disappointed the album is likely to be delayed again
