Lust For Life - Pre-Release Thread

[daytonadeath 3,597]

tbh the general public will look at a title like 'Summer Bummer' and think she is not a serious artist who gives a crap about her work. thats what I would think

 

its sad from a musician who has written songs like Yayo, Elvis (personal fave) and her unreleased albums, that she seems to want to sabotage herself. almost as if she's throwing music out towards a void and not caring about an impact or an impression. 

 

 

@MahaMaha summed it up for me 

unfortunately, money is the anthem of success

I think L4L soubds pretty much like something everyone could have done. So does the SB snippet.

And yeah, maybe her muse is fading. But I'd rather have her being repetitive with doing "the usual LDR stuff" a la Cherry, cause that's what she's great at, instead of delivering things her fans might like, but which are just ... generic.

If I wanted to listen to generic music, I'd listen to halsey

You can make decent music and make money from it. If she showed she had an actual plan or vision with her work, I'd agree but she doesn't. If she was all about making money, then what was Tropico about? Did she or anyone else make any (or much) money from that? 

[TROPICUM 6,407]

bbys remember that money is the anthem of success she's just doing her thing to get some coins.

That's what I mean. If I want "bops to shake my ass to" there are PLENTY of artists. Don't need Lana to deliver that sort of thi gs. I stan her for hr unique style

lol I think that Lana is becoming a sell-out tbh. Still love her, but unfortunately those shit happens. 

 

btw: I don't think that's it's her fault, her managers and her label are worse than hell. They just think about money

Tbh I wanna LDR6 to be a real rock album. Make it happen, Lanz.

I will not tolerate you comparing Lana's bops to that dick sucking shithead.    Lana's pop influenced music is better than whatever music you call generic. Like excuse me I've never heard something like Ridin' in my life, I can't just switch to a different artist and call it a day. Music is not automatically generic just because you don't like it.

Summer Bummer may not be the most amazing title, but i'm still super excited to hear the song!

 

Lana bab is trying to promote positivity and optimism this era and i'm gonna embrace that...

 

I am OPTIMISTIC that this album is gonna be amazing xxoxo

I can't wait for LDR6 so I can pretend that LFL never happened

jk, but I'm not optimistic about this album 

[Tragic Rabbit 3,355]

Do you guys think there will be a music video for 'Summer Bummer' too (IF it's the next single?). I mean, she was working on a visual a while ago?

[BeautifulAnywhere 5,417]

Tbh Lana can sell out & still keep her unique style. It's not impossible. Abel is probably showing her that it's not all that bad.

Becoming? lol

 

i think that's a bit of a cop out really. when she talks about having control over the direction of her albums and music, it seems like its her in the driving seat making messy career decisions.

 

do you think her managers would suggest she release a song called Summer Bummer?

'Ridin' & all those unreleased bops u mentioned above were from or before BTD era when she used to have a glam persona, themes & storylines .. *when she was doing music for herself not for her fans*

[Flowerbomb 65,595]

Just a reminder that Lana shines best when emulating the greats like Kurdt Cocaine.

 

[MahaMaha 1,112]

Yes, exactly back when she was talented   but just like Every Man Gets His Wish is a better song than Cherry, Cherry is still nice. Ridin' is better than SB, but SB is still gonna be good. 

[daytonadeath 3,597]

Becoming? lol

Considering that they're the same managers who couldn't deal properly w/ the leaks, yes. But of course that lana is doing some questionable career choices

[Wynwood 19,967]

"Lana is losing her muse"

 

*worships an old album where she repeats "gimme them bright lights" at least 200 times and ignores an album they don't even understand*

There will be one surely.

It's so sad though, I was certain that if there was another pre-album single, it would be Cherry since she is comfortable enough to sing it live. Would have loved seeing a video for that one, specially now that her video game is truly on-point this era.

The keyword is "execution". Her lyrics were always ... Lana lyrics. But the execution is where things got unique
