The Right Person Will Stay - Pre-Release Thread (OUT: May 21st, 2025)

You know how Lana randomly alludes to having odd jobs behind the scenes in between albums and even during album cycles? I wonder what the hell she does in her free time.

Maybe she's an employee at Ralph's

Some of you will hate me for this manifestation, but I genuinely do hope this album is a stripped back acoustic masterpiece. I was just listening to Nectar of the Gods and it so truly stark and beautiful it makes me tear up. Henry sounds really gorgeous and emotional to me so I will be totally thrilled with an album full of songs in this vein. Obviously I'll lose my mind over something more bombastic too if that's the direction it ends up going, but I'm honestly more intrigued by an album of slow somber guitar songs than I am by the Fenway intro. 

you ate that

I partly agree with that but for me it's about mix / balance. I would love some somber guitar ballads on the album, or a slower part with the said somber guitar songs. But I would also love some songs with more oomph like the Fenway Intro, it doesn't need to be trap or anything but something with more production and oomph. Of course only if it's not too messy and still cohesive in away. For example I think Tulsa Jesus Freak, Dark Just But Just A Game and DTWD bridge had that but worked really well within the COTCC album imo. I also think a song like Wild One would have worked on COTCC as well to give it one more boppish moment. Just an example though but I hope y'all get what I mean.

And great taste for listening to Nectar Of The Gods

I"m not hating on you, but I'm hoping for the opposite of somber.

 

Hear me out: we already have a stripped-back acoustic masterpiece (Chemtrails). And Blue Banisters wasn't far off. So, we kinda already have an album (or two) full of somber guitar songs such as Nectar of the Gods, Living Legend, Cherry Blossom, Yosemite. And Ultraviolence wasn't exactly a pop record. It was guitar. It was somber. 

 

I don't think Lana should repeat herself sonically. And if she does, I hope she rips off Lust for Life (Fenway) rather than the second half of BB.

 

Also, with Die with a Smile, Beyonce, Chappel Roan and other big country-infused guitar songs dominating the industry, a stripped-back album would fall off the radar as soon as it drops. 

 

So, I'm hoping The Right Person Will stay is bigger in production, more melodic, and catchy. More American and Ride in spirit than Nectar of the Gods and Living Legend.

 

Somber is the last adjective I want to use to describe this record. I'm ready for some fun!

@Pico Ocean Boulevard @barttttender I do get what you both mean, and I adore Chemtrails, but I definitely hope this album leans a lot more into classic country. I wouldn't call Chemtrails country at all, but moreso folk adjacent. And Blue Banisters is overall more piano driven, I don't want songs like Cherry Blossom anywhere near this album. I love piano but I really hope she leans heavily into guitar this time around.

 

I want classic country songs of heartbreak and love intertwined, and absolutely some songs with oomph but in a cohesive way. I am expecting a journey through a rotation of doomed romances before the right one comes along and finally stays. I could see the title track being the closer or near the end for sure.

 

I do get wanting fun, but the world is so fucked up that I'm just as down to cry with the music, so long as the style brings something fresh for her, which I think it will.
