jack changed her we aint ever getting rick nowels lana back 

not to be a hater, but I miss Rick, I really, really do. He was just so good at coming up with rich layered sounds.

Imagine a Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson sound and lyrical style and some angelic and kind of sinister orchestral sounds. You could even throw some delta blues and real old folk influences and boom you have a true southern gothic feel

Thank God. Jack pushed her outside her comfort zone. If Rick had stayed as her main producer she would've faded into irrelevance and we never would've got some of her greatest songs.

I’m so BORED!!!!!! I can’t fucking stand this release thread anymore. I can’t even shitpost anymore, this is so unfunny. I’m all for letting Lana take her time, but cancel the album if it isn’t happening, the unprofessionalism is insane. Also fuck twitter insiders, insiders in general. The Nowelstalgia needs to stop too. It’s been discussed to death, and it ain’t ever gonna happen. This is unhinged but I woke up mad as hell today, and reading these last few pages is driving me up the wall.

@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.

 

Fyi, i'm tots fine with country. I always was. I loved the idea of LDR tackling a new genre (like btd was pop, uv was rock, nfr was surf rock...). And I always liked Tough and its country themes and influences. #LassoForever

 

The thing I *don't* want is this stripped back/sobre vibe everyone's talkin' about. Which doesn't sound like Lana nor country to me. It just sounds like Chemtrails 2.0. or, more so, BB 2.0. That is what I *don't* want. Sounds super boring to me.

I am simultaneously of the belief that no one “owes” fans anything, and at the same time incredibly disappointed she isn’t communicating with us about……….. anything.

Well pitchfork just listed it under the 5/21 date for most anticipated spring releases…giving me a tinge of hope that it IS coming?

The Nowelstalgia just hit me to the heart right now while reading this

Sorry but that's just whack. Rick Nowels co-wrote and produced some of Lana's biggest songs (e.g. Summertime Sadness, Young and Beautiful, Love).  Even his throwaway cut (Say Yes to Heaven) is a massive hit a decade years later. I mean, this is the guy who wrote so many hits including a quarter of Madonna's Ray of Light. You don't just go ahead and dis Rick...

 

As much as I love Antonoff x LDR, Jack has yet to produce a single entry into Billboard 100 for Lana. The only song that charted with his production credit on it was Tough, and he wasn't even the main producer. So, if anything - Lana's fading more with Jack at the helm than rick.

 

Ask a person on the street what Lana song they know, and it ain't gonna be Mariner's Apartment Complex or A&W. I'll tell you that.

 

Again, no hate towards Jack, but what you said just ain't right.

don't worry y'all she will suprise release this album right after her Stagecoach set - where she performed her 13 new tracks from this album as the album live debut show a.k.a. "very special country set", yes Lana we trust you.

Unfortunately, it doesn't mean anything. Tons of outlets have reported on her fake release dates in the past. I doubt they know anything more than we do.

[vicdelrey 1,306]

I believe this album will mostly feature beautiful love songs, much like Let the Light In. I think that's the kind of music she wants to create now.

Yk something I want ? something similar to LFL, I love the freedom she had in music genres and how she covered several, and still kept it coherent, she also didn't limit herself to just one, but created her own world there.. I want this album to be immersive and as if it were another world (which she portrayed very well in Btd, LFL and NFR)

'The Mirror' seems like a great start to be honest... but I still want to see what it has in store for us

What are the chances for Nadia Lee Cohen photoshoots this era?
