Lust For Life - Pre-Release Thread

[Prettywhenyoudye 1,512]

Excited for the 18 tracks, anyone think there could possibly be a deluxe edition with maybe a couple more tracks?

I have a theory as to what's going on with Lust For Life. Lana knows she might not outsell her competition, but she certainly wants compete on a creative level. Based on everything I've read, she's recorded a truckload of songs in the last couple of years, so many that she had to drop quite a few onto the floor. Trouble is those songs may have been every bit a good as what she originally was going to put out but maybe in a different or more experimental direction. So everything is go for a May 26 release. Opps, Katy and Lorde are coming out with their new music only a couple of weeks after Lana's release date. Put on the breaks, delay the release until 5 weeks after Lorde's CD. That way she gets to hear what her rivals have brought the table and the competitive girl that she is, has just enough time to up her game even more y possibly changing the lineup by recording a few more or adding the songs that she discarded in the first place. It's just a theory but I believe it makes some sense and may also be a reason why there has been no tracklist up to now.

 

I believe the bit about too many recorded songs to choose from, but Lana has not been competitive in a chart way since BTD. Even she has stated that she lost her ambition after all she went through from VG to BTD release and now just wants to make music she likes and/or that her fans like.

Lana is more criative and talented without doing any effort, I dont think she cares about Lorde material

I agree that she delayed the album because of commercial reasons, but disagree with "she gets to hear what her rivals have brought the table" tho

Yeah I doubt she cares about the charts that much or what other artists are doing. The good sis literally just wants to make music for herself and her fans and that's why I love her so damn much.

Sounds like a rumor made up by fans to me.

[t0mthem0m 47]

Why do people think shes gonna change the cover?

It's just speculation that's been going around here too since it's not too far reached. So far Lana's team has confirmed nothing, although a preorder (and a possible promo track to go along with it) coming sometime this week is realistic if they're following the 1-month pattern.

 

Why do people think shes gonna change the cover?

Apparently some big Polish retailer said so in a private Facebook chat, but no receipts have been shown. Someone from here (sorry I can't remember who you are rn) messaged them but they didn't mention any changes in their response, at least not any with the cover. So take it with a grain of salt.

[Prettywhenyoudye 1,512]

I dont really believe that shes changing the cover especially since Chuck shot it. Unless if she did change it to another one taken by Chuck as well

[Thunder Revenant 20,943]

I do agree, but I see her doing a past and present thing. Like I see pieces of the glamorous BTD era, mixed with the casual groupie Ultra era, and everything in between. I'm kinda hoping she goes blonde and acoustic for LDR6.

most of the photoshoots so far are just what a basic fashion photographer woukd set up and not really like anything that really creates a visual concept. All Lana herself provided were some vanilla-pics in front of a white wall and pics from the Love MV shoot. Even HM had a more distinct visual theme. She should just gibe us the tracklist/preorder/music, at this point I don't see her delivering anything special other than that for the LFL era

Yes..she wouldn't do this to her sister I guess

- will the release date remain the same?

- most probably yes but the cover will be changed.

Maybe they are removing the Love-style picture because Love isn't on the album after all that mounths.
I'm a bit sad, I loved the cover (but I pray for the Rainbow font to be on the new one)

Love is most definitely on the album 

[Make me your Dream Life 87,851]

Don't we usually get info via articles on mags? When's the next one coming in?

[tangerinedream 320]

I really hope/wish we'll be getting something tomorrow. She said on the trailer she likes going out "specially on tuesdays" and we'll be a month away from the album's release, so I guess a preorder is pretty possible

I hope we get Cherry at some point btw

Yes... It's going to be a long record and I hope it sounds cohese, I'm not really getting the vibe of this era until now, neither the aesthetic of it

[tangerinedream 320]

A different cover art would def revive my hype that's currently breathing through machines

Lust for Life is her weakest title track in my oppinion, it's good, but sounds way too commercial with Abel idk
