Nope. Lana's label would never do that. Remember when Chemtrails was the top-selling vinyl in all of England?

 

They make a shit tonne on physical releases with her. 

 

So if the album is not ready yet, expect an autumn/early winter release. But would she have really said in November that the alum is done with 13 songs if it's not? I mean, she's not that big of an idiot.

Happy Henry, come on release week

This sounds so messy, it must be true (including the delulu part of may still being the month because nobody even bothers to delay it)

[jaesana]

FUNK 

this actually makes so much sense. New Orleans helped establish that genre. The music down there is so rich. Even hearing that little piece of insider information is a solid indicator that this album could lean towards jazz, funk, and blues!!

funk… dance till we die bridge realness

Hmmm. But didn't Lana say it's Americana/southern goth?

 

 My guess was that she's toned down the country vibes for more Americana/melodic/southern goth vibes. You can make that shift relatively easily. Like, remove the benjo, etc. Henry certainly fits the bill of stripped-down americana/country/folk.

 

Funk makes zero sense to me. Could she have revamped Lasso into a funk record within a year? Also, isn't funk more of a Black Culture vibe? That big of a shift in gears seems unlikely to me given the trouble this album was clearly in for.

Mb it will be released in may with vinyls delivery in October - November, but it's weird esp considering how in demand her vinyls are

Exactly, and if it’s still being mixed impossible that it will be mastered in time to be released in May.

I always take the Twitter insider info with the tiniest grain of salt.

There are two scenarios.

 

1. Lana was saying the truth in November, the album was (near-)complete, and it's ineed coming in May/June. The Henry single will kick-off the era, and the second single will drop when the album drops in May/June.

 

This seems fairly reasonable and similar to Honeymoon release roll-out (High by the Beach on August 10, Music to Watch Boys to on September 11, album out September 18). 

 

2. Lana was lying, the album is not finished, and we're in for an NFR-level mess. First single out now because of Stagecoach, and the album is out whenever the fuck it's ready, from July/August this year to any month in 2026. 

 

Neither of these scenarios involves a digital release first. 

 

Personally, I think we'll see a Honeymoon style release. Seems like more of a low-key record, and I think two singles only ahead of the album are likely, with Henry being first, and the second single coming in May. She said she's got 13 songs 5+ months ago, the first single is on its way, and she usually needs about 2 years to drop new material. I can't see this going the way of NFR. But then again, it's Lana, so anything is possible.

Album not done?!? 

if true, no wonder Henry got stalled…

Okay but why are we believing jobless Twitter insiders again?

The description of Henry is a bit wtf ? 

if the album is still being mixed, let’s saddle up, cow people. It’s gonna be a long and bumpy ride  We’d be looking at a what? November release?!?  Alright, for our mental health, we should choose to believe it’s true: it’ll help not to be so anxious about anything: cover reveal, preorder, second single and so on. She wasnt kidding when she said she was in no hurry to release her tenth album, but would rather get married instead. (Good for her, btw, she deserved a break after 10 years+ of working non-stop. If only she hadn’t teased the whole thing so soon, we wouldn’t be here complaining every damn day)

This 100%. Trust no one on anything, not even Lana.

 

Not until the news is confirmed by Interscrope or there's pre-order link. 

 

We laugh and shrug off any so-called insiders.

With Lana, it’s often « worst case scenario » that happens and I haven’t often leaned into those options because I am always eager for new music from her. Heck, even Henry, I was hoping it would be released last week but it probably will be released this week. So, with vinyl pressings, if the album is not done, November at the earliest, and that is if the album is done by June. It helps a bit, not to be on the edge of our seats constantly and get frustrated, if we don’t expect much coming in the next months  It pains me to write this, btw 

[NikoGo]

Oh so we’re back to the believing fake insiders phase of this prerelease 

 

there are so many things wrong with that post. Off the top of my head

 

-funk? From the song being described as sirens with a budget? No

-still being mastered but still being released next month? Also no. First week sales are important and they would never release the album without everything being ready, and vinyls take minimum 90 days to press 

-albums are mastered and submitted in groups, not one at a time to the point where it could only be “80% done”
