LDR5 - Pre-Pre-Release Annual Meltdown and Discussion Thread

[morrison 355]

do y'all think her festival shows (all in august) are gonna coincide with the album release??? i don't think i can wait till August for the album 

[American Bottom 16,229]

Interesting that she's had the lead single's video done done for so long (if we assume it's the vid she shot in July). Has she ever waited this long to put something out before?

[Thunder Revenant 20,961]

OMG is it that one?

 

 

This sounds just so wrong.

Haha, no it was not that goofy, it was one beep at a time and not some sort of sound effect.

Ultraviolence. And look what happened - we got an iconic, yet terrible iphone video and the great footage was re-cut in a very anticlimatic way for another song from a different album

[toshi 948]

Thing is with her videos, yes they all probably have quite a high budget but comparing the videos from BTD to the rest of her videos, the budget and obviously got lower and lower, I mean BTD + Ride are all huge videos in every way, MTWBT is a good video, but its nothing compared to the BTD videos, nothing on HM is. HBTB is one of my favourite videos because the story line is great and sure she has the helicopter but I bet it cost no where near the amount that BTD cost to produce.

Yes... Life Is Beautiful hahaha

Joking, she doesn't have the rights over this song (Lionsgate owns it, unfortunately).

 

 

*Flashback to PWYC

I hope this leaks someday, it's such a shame that PWYC wasn't released as a single.

[Wynwood 19,967]

idc about the budget. great videos can be made with a low budget. for example, video games and summertime sadness. i just want her to release well thought out aesthetics and visuals not just 2 random music videos with footage belonging to a song of the past era.

[reputation 6,321]

Didn't Lana buy 3 houses? Why is a budget a problem?

[baddisease 17,942]

It's labeled as explicit, and it's all about getting high. I don't know what you're radio stations are playing, but the ones in my area wouldn't dare play it. Like mine literally cut out the word sex in Ed Sheeran's one song. And innuendos are probably considered okay because kids don't notice them.

 

Where do you even live? That wouldn't even be a problem here.

[toshi 948]

Lana's rich.

 

I'm on about label support, Lana probably doesn't fund her own videos, the label will so the fact that the label are possibly giving her a high budget for the video could mean bigger things for the album.

Artists on major record labels dont pay for their own videos.

[grabmebymyribbons 911]

guys this is pretty random lol but a big youtuber said he thinks lana is cool omg

Who? Leafy?

if the video really does have a high budget I'm sure they won't waste it on not promoting the album

so naive. we all know how this era is gonna go

[PARADIXO 32,960]

so naive. we all know how this era is gonna go

the fact that this is 100% true

[Crimson and Clover 22,520]

As long as she has a Cruel World 2.0 I'm set tbh

[Ultra Violet 18,995]

Where the post Eclipsef said about the video.

Link ha mePraying dalai will be involved with Beusty and beast 2k17

OH MY GOD i think that is the perfect fairytale movie for Lana to contribute to. Oh please oh please oh please

 

EDIT: ok so its apparently unlikely and the position is already taken ugh.

 

 

ALSO remember when we all thought the new video (filmed last year) was going to be for Terrence Loves You? A video for that would have been beautiful but we're anticipating this new album way too much for a honeymoon finale now. Hahahaha.

[latothemoon 11,846]

I'm suffering from new Lana music deprivation

[LAman 3,224]

I really want this album like asap, but I definitely don't expect Lana to drop it out of nowhere. She said herself that it wouldn't be a surprise, so the album probably wouldn't come out until months after she announces it. I don't want to wait that long tho

[graham4anything 2,859]

Ms. Grant is the single most profitable artist for her record company both to her and her company on a $ for $ basis

(doesn't mean the amount of $ is the largest, but the % based on what is expensed and what is banked

 

No reputable artist will pay out of pocket, except that most artists (like the #1 mega newbees who don't know any better sign all their $ away, even though the

press says they made $100 million. Of course they have to pay back $125 million in expensesand go deeply in debt before album#2 comes out

 

accounting 101

 

also look at lavish lifestyles of the rich and richer, how much a day someone like Elton John needs to bring in to break even to pay for $20 grand in flowers per day

(also why at 70 he still plays 150 dates a year,

 

What's really cool is when someone (like Ms. Grant) already has all the $ in the world to live ten lifetimes comfortably, not overboard and is in it for the artistic

community of creativity and not $$$ where the next song and thought is more important than the bogus need to conform

 

Trailblazers don't conform, they keep blazing new trails and let someone else do the conform sheet

(all the while banking far more actual $ than those who actively are only going for the gold$$$

 

How many other people are out there that can do it for love (say hey Willie Mays and Ernie Banks would be proud)

(and how much songwriting brings in, I people want a #1 single, damn straight they should get her songs with Abel to #1, and then hoping his record

wins a grammy, in which case she will win the grammy and yup, it's the same statue on the mantle

 

meanwhile Salvatore can wait, now it's time to eat soft ice cream as she leaves everyone standing behind her watching the trail she continues to blaze.

(for those that get the real meaning of the song)

 

How cool is that!

Who? Leafy?

yup, how did you guess it haha
