Yall thought about an acoustic album 

[PARADIXO 32,940]

 

The weird thing about Marina "flopping" is she didn't do anything "wrong" musically (i.e., the singing and songwriting were strong relative to the usual suspects). Froot is a better pop album than HM, though HM is a better alt-indie (or traditional vocal?) album than Froot, so I'm not really competing them. And while Froot didn't outsell HM, it probably sold better than Art Angels, which was arguably better than Froot (and most everybody else) at pop. And while we're at it, lets stan a little for Enya, who released an album the same day as Adele's 25 ... and managed to outsell HM.  I'd certainly be there for an Enya/LDR co-tour just to see if their fanbases were additive or annihilative.

Do I believe there's a chance that Lana could "come back" (fucking hate that term) and really deliver something unique and interesting? Yes. But can't ya'll just live with the fact that she's gonna do what she wants to do? She even said it herself. She surrounds herself with people who agree with her regarding every aspect of her music. Until she accepts someone who challenges her will we have something as strong as UV (thank you Dan Auerbach). I would be less surprised by an acoustic album and more surprised by an album that deviates from what we're used to Lana putting out.

Mark Ronson please

 

and Dan Auerbach please.

I like Marina and all but she's become too gimmicky for me.

 

Yall thought about an acoustic album

Honeymoon was slow as it was, another slow album is not for me. No thanks to the acoustic idea.

[May 13,311]

i never listen to this album anymore i listen to MTWBT and the Salvatore instrumental like once a week and that's it

[gloomyharlow 1,215]

I listen to one or two songs and that's it. I constantly go back to Ultraviolence or Born To Die. After all this time I'm still not tired of those two albums.

[Thunder Revenant 20,943]

As long as she manages to make the next album exciting again, I don't care how she does it. Both BTD and UV felt special, had their highlights, a wonderful style etc etc

 

HM is nice but so f*cking unspectacular, especially since the tempo is dragging on after like Religion.

[kristinaj 1,168]

I think what she ought to focus her attention to with her next album is the lyrics. I mean how long can she keep singing about her boyfriends, her teenage shenanigans and how she wants to be free... I have enough faith in Lana that she can widen her horizons

[bummersummer 2,218]

I was listening to Freak and I started wondering if it's maybe about Barrie. The 'come to California, be a freak like me too' and 'screw your anonymity' reminds me of Barrie moving to LA for Lana. And I'm sure they danced along to rock music and waxed poetic til they turned blue and whatnot Also 'you're cold as ice but when you're nice, you're so amazing in every way' probably references Barrie's depression

 

Also I realised the 'I'm rising up' line probably references 'Jim raised me up' from Ultraviolence

 

Barrie wouldn't fit the "eyes of blue" line though and, to be honest, he seems like the opposite of "cold" to me; from an outsider perspective, 'clingy' would be a more appropriate adjective, in my opinion. 

Francesco though, now that's another story re: both references... again, in my opinion.

OR it's about no one in specific at all, or a mix of different people; who knows.

and it's interesting to me how so many people here say they always go back to BTD/Paradise & UV and almost never listen to HM anymore; it's the opposite for me, it's probably been more than a year since i last listened to BTD/Paradise, while i'll play UV & HM several times a week.

TEA.

 

she should talk more about her life her ideology and belief tbh. in a sarcastic way or poetry.

[graham4anything 2,859]

There is NOT one word about her boyfriends/lovers/love life in any single second of Honeymoon.

Anyone who thinks so is reading the words for something they are not

Girl you dumb........?

[Wynwood 19,967]

Lana should do more things with synths, her UV psychedelic vibes were so great imagine if instead of a stripped back rock sound it was sort of a tame impala "feels like were only going backwards" type of vibe

[leaked_version 10,499]

Lord, I hope Cedric will remax Salvatore and give Lana a smash hit before the nem alboom drops

Salvatore would smash if she released it!

[PARADIXO 32,940]

I listen to it every day.

[leaked_version 10,499]

TO be honest with you, that is the only song off Honeymoon that radio stations in Europe would play. Can't believe she didn't even consider this being released as a single and reacted slightly shocked when played on BBC radio

[Macintosh Manhattan 6,511]

Thinking about it Salvatore would've made a great lead single. Its Shame really because it had the potential to be a bit of hit especially in Europe 

 

The lyrics aren't the best but definitely were radio-friendly and musically the production was too. Lana and Interscope/Polydor really did miss the mark with the potential Salvatore had tbh 

[toshi 948]

I can imagine a huge budget video for Salvatore as well. Shame her label didn't use it as a single, its such a great song and one of the most listenable songs for casual fans. 

[gloomyharlow 1,215]

I think Freak is her last video and single for this era am I right?
