Ultraviolence - Pre-Release Thread

[YUNGATA 14,955]

 

should i just invite him over to this thread and have him clear the air himself? he's more likely to do so with an audience, no? 

 

maybe he could do like an AMA on lb, but within reason of course.

im glad i wasnt the only one with the crazy theory that he was just some hardcore stan trolling all of us. ... im sure theres at least some truth to his story but i couldnt help being skeptical about this. so weird

[Wryta Thinkpiece 3,344]

I personally do not think Live or Die is going to make it to UV, I can't really formulate too much of a supporting reason just because we haven't heard anything that is directly linked to Ultraviolence (and that goes for Black Beauty and AFFA, too, because Lana can easily scrap them as third-album concept tracks,) but I just don't think it will resonate with the sound or atmosphere Lana says she intends for the third-album.

I hope no one minds that I change the subject, I'm just worried that this rumor/speculation/possible half-truth might overshadow the discussion we could be having about ULTRAVIOLENCE, even if all we're discussing is possible sound/style/lyrical themes or even possible inspirations.

Speaking of the latter, does anyone have possible/fantasy inspirations in mind that Lana may be using to find her muse with ULTRAVIOLENCE? I know Clockwork Orange is up there, and I personally can see Lana, with her intentions of a stripped down album, also be driven by the poetry of Frank O'Hara (if she read his work, of course. I feel like it wouldn't be a surprise, so much of Frank's work would be delightful to Lana.)

Does anyone have a theme they want to see in UV? If there's still a connection to Lana's nature in AKALG/BTD[PARADISE]/both, what do you want her to carry over in UV? What do you want her to leave behind?

Facts: some weeks before Lana did an interview where she said her "muse was very flicke" and didn't know for sure what to write now that some of her new songs leaked. Not even one month later, she announces a new album. If what this guy clamming is true and there is a real chance of Live or Die really be on ULTRAVIOLENCE, I think this indicates that new album could be a compilation of old songs or maybe a mix  of new and old ones. 

[Ultra-Violence 43]

It's odd how she described her next album to be stripped down, but then she gave the title "Ultraviolence" which doesn't resonate well with "Striped Down" at all.

 

Born To Die has a lot slow ballads which is fitting to the title.

 

Paradise is more of the same thing with less hip hop but more rockish and angelic, etheral (Bel Air, Yayo, etc) seems fitting.

 

When I hear Ultraviolence, I imagine in my head to be more uptempos or maybe scremo, eletronic, new wave.

 

u know something like Butterfiles part 2 or M83 - midnght city.

i don't want to question him in a remotely hostile way (or have my questions perceived as such) because he can just block me on a whim

Well no because then he'll see that you're sharing some of his replies with us...

I don't think he would care. I certainly wouldn't (and don't)

 

if his facebook settings are any indication, he doesn't seem like the most private person

Yeah, that's true, if he even has his phone number on there for everyone to see, it's his own fault where the information ends up anyway.

[Lanakai 662]

'We Are The Lie' = a new possible song title? 

 

THE CAKE IS A LIE! 

 

 

Also, read her hand!!! I think that is a good indication of what ever the fuck this fraud is saying about writing Lana's songs. But then again, I might be butthurt that Lana didn't actually write my most favoritest song in her discography   I refuse to believe anyone but Lana wrote Live or Die!!

 

 

 

[sjrq 150]

If this guy actually has worked with Lana, he would know she would be livid about him airing out their personal business on the internet.  So, I would guess if they have ever actually worked together, she has already cut ties with him.

[silver starlet 1,376]

she's working with Daniel Heath again btw

[Creyk 11,697]

Is that a good thing?

[Ultra-Violence 43]

She should debut the first single at the Grammys. Perfect Opportunity. 

[lola 6,640]

he produced bel air, blue jeans, the orchestral young & beautiful and i think the score for tropico (and maybe other stuff as well) so yes it's good!

Dan Heath is a very good producer, but he actually does heaps of different genres (but yes, he specialises in the cinematic strings sound). So it's false to just expect a Bel Air/Y&B light-airy type orchestral album. He does amazing upbeat 'epic' trailer music. Heath working the Lana has no indication on which direction her genre's shifting to (if it does shift at all).

 

Examples:

Cinematic battle music

 

Dark epic rock music

[Just Cherry 3,767]

Live or Die is good, but even reworked it'll never be album worthy, especially if she wants her stripped down Black Beauty/Angels Forever sound. I call bullshit on this whole thing based on that fact alone.

I had no idea you could just email UMG like that but good call.

His posts just seemed oddly specific, enough to intrigue mr and not discard him as a troll right away, but this certainly doesn't help his credibility.

 

Sigh, I guess we're back to scratch speculating what UV's gonna sound like.
