Lust For Life - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[Make me your Dream Life 88,715]

Every time some kind of major wave of violence makes its way through the news, Coachella just grows more and more meaningful. What the hell. Started listening to Yes To Heaven, and my god. She doesn't have to create specific tracks so overtly regarding politics, Love does just that, and LFL, from a more humanistic pov.

Yes to Heaven's newly emerged version does that too. That's a new kind of heartbreak right there.

all of her albums have aged beautifully, but i feel like many songs on LFL won't age well like Groupie Love and IMF

Groupie Love is fine. IMF has already lost its magic to me tbh.

The imf instrumental is a million times better than the actual song

 

It's completely haunting and dark - the piano keys?? That burst of string?? The intermittent buzz?? Those screams at the end of each verse? The bridge is incredible

 

The way it carries itself ahhhh if I had listened to the instrumental before the song itself I would never imagine it to end up so mediocre

LFL is basically BTD but with trap beats instead of classic hip hop beats

[littleredpartydress 49,883]

none of the songs are even overly political 

 

like...you guys are so dramatic. 

 

i also dont know why everyone tries to label her albums with genres. each album is obviously pop with elements of a bunch of different genres sprinkled in. calling it "alternative" is so stupid because that isnt even a genre of music.

For me alternative is more real than "pop". Anything can be pop nowadays tbh

I was thinking the same thing I honestly don't know what went wrong there the lyrics are not that bad

and less iconic

Groupie Love's already aged badly for me but the instrumental

Those strings are heavenly

If I may predict the sound for the next album, even though we have nothing to base my predictions on... I think it will sound more upbeat and have more pop songs that are cool like a breeze on a hot summer day. Maybe the trap beats will still be there since they're in both HM and LFL.

She's been recording songs with Rocky, so it's not impossible if she has another hip hop inspired song again. With or without collabs. She's worked with The Weeknd and BORNS, both with pop sounds, and likes Ariana Grande who also have a pop sound. Lana seems to be happier these days and more confident, so I wouldn't be surprised if her next album (album, not EP or some kind of extension of LFL) would go back to something alike BTD.

judging by her tour clothes the new york sound will be back lol

neither are real good descriptions. like sure they can broadly classify music but theres so many subgenres. like nothing is just "alternative" or "pop" 

 

and also its so funny how this forum automatically equates pop with bad/less artistic/cheap

The instrumental is really great but her vocals in this song are amazing and the best thing of the song, she really did THAT

I usually don't make cover arts (well, I really never do), but I made this cover for GBA because I love it, and the result made me happy so I'm sharing it

uh we're not trying to label her albums we're just discussing the many elements of different genres in her music. and UV isn't a mainly pop album, not at all. same with LDR AKA LG.
