Pantene is the Fenway intro part of the album ? I need to know in case it’s not because I don’t want to disappoint myself 😭

She should just release it as a one off single on the anniversary of the Fenway performance as a way to make up to us fans who went and only got a 50 min show

Wow. Not only are we in an absolute information desert with no clear sign anything will actually be coming anytime soon, the little bits of tea we do have are that the album is boring and bad. 
 

I think this is officially the worst prerelease at this point, no debate. 

[Lanaparadiserey 24,866]

I can’t believe Henry is coming tomorrow this is so crazy

Why people hate Country Roads cover so much? Like yeah, it's not West Coast or The Blackest Day, it's ordinary and bit basic in production and I haven't listened to it in full like after its release because I don't listen to covers but it's not bad or horrible, like other people think, it's literally harmless. It also has some of her lowest vocal performances in the recent years. Obviously everyone has their own preferences but the whole hatred made me kinda think why

 

"Its ordinary"

"Bit basic in production"

"Haven't listened to it since it came out"

"Lowest vocal performance in recent years"

 

You've answered your own question. 

Add to that, it sounds like she came into a studio, sang it in one take, with the one musician on the guitar also winging it, and they both left and grabbed a beer.

 

I don't even consider it music tbh. It's someone else's work, and they made ZERO effort to cover it.

ZERO creativity.

Coulda been A.I. 

 

I wasn't surprised that Courtney Love - a great musician in her own right, check out her Live Through This album - literally went off on Lana because of this song. Being lazy about covering someone else's brilliant song is just not it

so wtf, why is she dragging this song out so damn long like plz just give it to us already. i really dont think she drops on fridays anymore so we still have hope for wednesday and thursday but idk im disappointed and losing hope were gonna get it this week. like i dont remember but for the ocean blvd singles did she just surprise drop them or give us a days notice? im pretty sure she just dropped the grants and posted a insta post about it but does she ever give us a heads up because today would be the day if shes going to drop henry tomorrow. 

 

 

The longer she drags it out the more disappointed we will be, factually. No song can live up to a year and a half tease, if we get to that point.

I wouldn't say that the vocal performance was low or that it could been a.i.

It outstreamed a lot of songs including Arcadia, White Dress and Taco Truck.

Aoty.org users rated it with a solid 82 (compared to 76 for Tough)

[GeminiLanaFan 50,401]

My bets for Henry’s release were on this week. Let’s just say I’m glad I haven’t bet real money on this  🤡

Good to know! 

 

This is just my opinion, but it was one of Lana's laziest vocal takes. She did nothing out of the ordinary on it, compared to, for example, White Dress that you've mentioned. Even the Abyss showed more range and virtuoso, and she's barely in that.

The reason why it has a higher ranking is that it's a much more accessible song compared to Taco Truck or Arcadia (easy listen). It's also a great song in terms of the way it's written so, of course, people would like it. But we as Lana fans know she can do much, much better. Especially when we look at Doin' Time vs. the original, or Goodnight Kiss vs. the Original.

It's going to be pretty funny - and very Lana - if the actual lead single doesn't turn out to be Henry, come on.. I also won't be surprised if the actual title of the song isn't "Henry, come on", but since she tagged the snippet with that lyric - and we've all been using it to name the track - she's decided to play along, lol.

I just wanted to say that your name and profile picture made me smile. I've seen almost all of Akerman's 40-odd films.

If the album is so boring and stripped back, what's the point of postponing it for so long, I really don't understand

It's bizarre af. The album was supposed to come out in September. We're in April. We don't even have a single

By 'lowest vocal performance in recent years', I meant that she wasn't singing in her higher voice which she started singing in since NFR-COTCC. The vocal tone of that cover reminded me of her vocals 2013 outtakes. Also Henry, she's using her lower vocals in Henry as well.

 

While I love both of her vocal uses, I very much prefer her lower register vocals than her high head voice. Hence why I really miss her low vocal performances, that's what made me fell in love with Lana. I hope that those low vocals come back for The Right Person Will Stay, which can be heard in the first verse of Henry Come On, in that snippet she shared.

I'm gonna hope we find Henry on spotify today like how we found LMLYLAW 

 

Also no Country Roads slander PLEASE

Thanks for clarifying. And I'm with you. Her rich alto on Born to Die, Ride, Doin' Time or Ocean Boulevard is literally everything.

 

That being said, I like that she has a tonne of songs in her higher register like National Anthem,  Cola, Shades of Cool, end even more recent ones like Paris, Texas, and White Dress. It'd very samey if it's all lower register, and also: it's key for an artist to mix it up and experiment with their voice.

i dreamed that the album was released and that there was a feat with dolly parton where they both sang “i will always love you” and a feat with luke combs

At this point I'm fully ready for this album to complete the unholy trinity of LFL and COCC. Expectations are at lowest for me for a Lana project but I feel like it can actually help me enjoy it in the end.
