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

[terrenceszyou 1,389]

The vibes that the album gives me so far are more like Ocean Blvd, but more somber. The last layer of Ocean Blvd with Taco Truck, Fishtail or Peppers could compose the "lively" tracks that the album will have, as usual.

 

I hope she explores synthesizers and casual constructions, but I hope she surprises by giving them more body (with choruses, drums and bold instrumentation, like, at the very least, the sax in If You Lie Down). I don't know, but all the descriptions she has given so far make it seem like an album a bit like the Carpenters, ABBA at the beginning of their career and other bands of the time that were extremely melancholic, but still had a lyrical content that wasn't too heavy or personal (in other words, more pop).

 

At this point, it would be very interesting, because the whole aesthetic of that time suits Lana a lot, much more than Gaga and Mars in Die With an Smile or Sabrina Carpenter in the visuals of Shortn Sweet.

 

If she does that, however, and even so brings a new look that modernizes, it will be incredible. I know we shouldn't set our expectations too high, but Lana came out of nowhere in her career and invented a new genre. Since then, I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happens again now.

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. 

Nectar of the gods (and heroin) are my favourite songs 

add in unreleased things like earthquakes, dragonslayer, UFB and California, I’d love a stripped back acoustic album 

 

but Henry doesn’t give me the vibe of any of the songs I’ve mentioned.. 

[Thats why they call me Dita 10,965]

No collabs PLEASE I beg. Not needed. Release them as standalone singles, stop ruining records with throwaway collabs ughhhhh

 

but for TRPWS im calling back to AKA, let’s get something that has somber songs, acoustic but also has beats too. (I know LFL did too, but AKA matches that Louisiana, southern gothic feel to me). For K pt. 2 just feels like being out in the open in the hot sun 

[ilovetati 15,310]

I’ve waited 11 years for UV 2.0. 
 

I’d give anything more a matured version of that longing, fiery rock with wailing guitars and sardonic lyricism. A boy can dream.

Can we please please stop manifesting "somber" vibes for this record? 

Somber: having or conveying a feeling of deep seriousness and sadness.

 

Did you all not have enough of seriousness on sadness on the last two-three records?! Lmao

 

If so, please go stream Nectar of the Gods, Fingertips, Cherry Blossom, For Free,Judah Smith Interlude, Jon Batiste Interlude, Texbook, Wildfire Wildflower, Candy Necklace, Kintsugi, Yosemite, etc.

Maybe she's not gonna release singles anymore

Yeah; maybe she's doing what billie did last year with hmhas.

 

Also, if Henry is as soft and acoustic as it sounds, there's no point having it as a single imo

I actually don’t mind having no singles, as long as it comes out on the promised date (21st of May)

Me neither. Look at how great Birds of a Feather did. Made no difference.

 

Also, Lana's been pretty bad with choosing singles ever since NFR, so maybe it's better that way. 
 

When I say bad at choosing singles, I mean that her non-single tracks are doing better (Cinnamon Girl, Let the Light In, Margaret, Dealer, Cherry, etc.)

[Sunbather Moonchaser 3,020]

How reliabe is Pop tingz? apparently they said that the first single is coming

Okay, sth. just dawned on me. Hear me out. We keep speculating on the album's genre, wishing for Fenway, going back and forth on somber vs. beats vs. electric guitars, etc.

 

But, back in the real world, we already know what the production will be like:

 

*super stripped-back.*
 

Because Lana herself said "even if it's super stripped-back, I want it to be just right." (Paraphrasing).

 

This also tracks with that "Sirens on a budget" early intel, and with what Henry snippet sounds like.

 

So, there's really no mystery. This will be an album of "When all those who wonders are lost" or "Looking for America" vibes.

She's collaborated with Kacey before for her Christmas special so I feel like there's a decent chance that if there's any features on the album it could be her. Zella Day has also recently been doing some classic 60s-70s country as Chaparelle and has an album coming out in April so I'm curious if there's any crossover there.

honestly so jealous of ppl going to stagecoach, think it's gonna be a cool/special setlist

[blueskiesforever 1,130]

Question: I was a lurker back then but I remember when “Nouveau Riche” was teased as a song title. I’m asking because the account that posted the Kacey rumor posted this, probably just copied it from the Lasso thread to troll.

Figured it out it was, guess there is nothing to report and they’re searching here for things to post.

So when we don't get any singles before Stagecoach what's the next goalpost? Deluding ourselves into believing she will debut a song at the festival?

[bluechemtrails 28,535]

everyone in desperation while lana is preparing her version of brat summer pt. 2

Something must be going on--either in terms of getting TRPWS out or in delaying or reconfiguring it again.

 

It's unlikely she's kicking back, getting to know Jeremy better, enjoying married life and her new house and surroundings--it's possible, but unlikely. We know of very few periods--if any--since 2012 when she did a lot of nothing.
