SINGLE: West Coast

[Zenol 201]

oh btw when is the full version out?

 

May 30th.

[COLACNT 5,178]

the new version is nice -- i actually like the way she sings the verses but the chorus completely lost its power. it doesn't compare to the original in any way; its just... cute (whereas the original was like fucking supernatural on some level)

[wraith 7,277]

Grimes is a flop and not played on radio so there.

 

Maybe the artists you like already have radio music.

 

 

For example, JT song mirrors is 8 minutes long.

 

Do you think radio will play the 8 minutes version or the radio edit?

 

 

Lady Fadga music is as mainstream as it gets but G.A.Y also have a radio edit.

 

 

They have to do that for Lana because her music is not top40, it's not fast either.

 

 

They want mainstream success but still keeping her grounded and acclaimed.

 

They don't want her to flop like grimes hihi who will never be successful hihi

what even 

this is the dumbest reply i have ever read 

[Rem 2,392]

Oblivion you said no artist you know does that?

 

Grimes is a flop and not played on radio, why would her label bothered?

so you're assuming that grimes is the only artist i listen to, huh ok 

 

now can people on this forum stop shading other artists and stay on topic omg

[Amadeus 11,334]

Why should they have to completely change the sound for the radio? no other artist that i know of does it

For an example "I Follow Rivers" by Lykke Li was a huge hit in Germany /Switzerland.. and they played a more mainstream "radio friendly" version on the radio, the same thing happened with Summertime Sadness. They probably just want a lot of airplay with the new version because as leaked_version already said the original version would never be played on german radio stations, they never play stuff like that.

Who cares if someone is a flop or not. Taste in music is wholly subjective and radio play isn't everything

huh ok i never really thought lana would care about that so much that she would completely change a song but then again it was probably her label I'm guessing

thank you for answering

The person I responded to do not understand why the need to change the sound of the song.

 

And he does not know any other artist who does that.

 

 

I'm just pointing it out maybe because

 

A. The artist he likes is a flop who doesn't get radio play

 

Or B. An artist that already has radio candy music.

 

Nothing to do with taste or anything like that.

 

 

 

Because in reality MANY artists do so

 

Radio play is everything because you don't want to flop on a major label.

 

Lana is not some unknown indie artist.

 

 

She is A MAINSTREAM artist that makes non commercial music.

 

 

Basically, she's indie but successful.

 

She's grimes but successful hihi

for the love of god use paragraphs

By the way, Lana posted the National Anthem trailer a day before the video was released and all of the videos ahead of WC on the VEVO schedule (http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/media/media_vevo.cgi) have already premiered this week. 

[Lirazel 700]

I like the original version more.... the radio one doesn't have the Brand New sound

why do you feel the need to add 10 spaces between your sentences? Sorry but now it's getting annoying

[Cinnamon Girl 75]

how do you download fro sound cloud?

[National Anthem 9,904]

O M G the radio mix sounds flawless, I NEED IT NOW. Like sorry, but I prefer it.

[Guest Dot]

OMG the radio mix is FLAWLESS!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH Exactly what I wanted! It's very..."Cola" tbh.

[Bae 565]

how do you download fro sound cloud?

i use this site http://www.soundcloud-download.com/

[BlueJeans 2,606]

The radio edit sounds like Summertime Sadness to me ! O_o

[Wryta Thinkpiece 3,344]

Omfg I *need* that new mix in full. It is everything. SO FUCKING GOOD. SO SEXY.
 

That May 30th date is ridiculous as shit though like why do that?

[jungle art 44]

i feel like this whole re-doing of West Coast is being directed by interscope, and honestly it's been pretty annoying. i strongly prefer the original version, the first one released, and I feel like she does too. hopefully all this fuckery won't be occurring while the album drops ((kanye changed the songs one of his albums so many times after it was released))
