Makes total sense. All I need is 57.5 on my iTunes (with IMPECCABLE PRODUCTION), and I can last till the end of the year.

She already confirmed 57.5 is the next single (Thank fuck). "Coming in a few months." I reckon late August or early September (unless she delays that too). I'm assuming the reason why it's taking so long is that she's preparing an MV for it, given the audience's warm reaction. Maybe she'll do a concert-footage style video and she's gathering material from the UK tour and travels. Which would actually fit the vibe of the song (plus, she's never done a concert style video before). As for the actual album, if the single is coming out in a "few months" and the tracklist hasn't been finalised, we're looking at November for the album release at the earliest. Let's say she finalises the tracklist by July 31st, and she sends it for vinyl pressing, etc, then we're looking it August, September, October for all of it to come together. If she takes two months to finalise the tracklist and album, then December. Don't even want to think beyond that.

That song is, like, one of the two I liked on BB (the other one being Black Bathing Suit. Super happy for you, and can't wait to watch the video somewhere tomorrow. Please share a link if you find it, y'all. Yeehaw

Some folks I know who've gone to see her said she was incredible. I think us die-hard fans (Lanaboards) just have much higher standards. Most folks are happy if they see her in a nice dress and get to hear Summertime Sadness sung in the correct key.

I don't think I've ever seen her in pink, but I'm living for it. Damn, now I want a pink dress on the cover.

Sorry to Bjork (whom I love), but Madonna takes this one. Madonna doesn't get nearly enough credit for the sheer volume of great songs she's written in her lifetime. Yes, the quality's gone to shit over the past 10 years, but her legacy is astounding. Next up: Radiohead Vs. Coldplay.

A Paradise style re-issue would be a total slay for LDR10. To be honest, with how many scraps and leftover she's got for each record, she could have easily 'Paradised' her every single album.

One day, we get a full double album, jam-packed with Driving in Cars with Boys, Ridin', Serial Killer, The Mirror, Fine China, and all the other masterpieces gathering dust at the moment that have been completely arbitrarily put aside.

I agree with this. Her whole vibe is "it's coming, you little shit." She doesn't feel any obligations in terms of commercial prospects. She'd rather lose money than put out an album she's not 80% happy with. Great for her and her artistic integrity, not so great for her fans. But, for the record, I will be livid if the quality's not there in the end (think Stand by Your Man AND Country Roads on a 13-truck record, and iffy reverbs everywhere). I need impeccable production on Stars Fell on Alabama and 57.5, in particular.

She coulda easily dropped the Mirror and Tough as a double single release, and had two entries on Billboard. As opposed to Tough and some lame-ass remixes that were forgotten on the day they were released. This way, we'll probably never get to hear the Mirror again. It does not fit the vibe of LDR 10 at all - unless it's a much bigger/double album with more variety than appears to be, but I doubt that. And I somehow can't see her doing any hip-hop inspired albums ala BTD and LFL ever again. We're firmly in the Bluebird/Margaret territories, and we're lucky if we get 57.5, Peppers and A&W style bops again. Which just makes me super excited for 57.5 - it's the closest to a legit album bop in a very long time - and i just wish she'd f-ing drop it already.

It's so weird! No one else is so randomly casual with their song releases lmao. Like, "here I am with this absolute banger that would top Billboard hot 100 in a matter of seconds, but I'm just gonna perform it for you this one time, and you're never gonna hear it again." She chooses not to release a Cherry successor straight from her golden-age Paradise/Lust for Life eras, but happily drops an obvious B-side four-minute ballad fodder instead (Bluebird). Our forever 'this is what I like, so this is what you're getting' queen

It's mildly better/more fun than For Free, which I've played twice in my life. That said, i played Country Roads maybe three times in total. An absolute whimper for sure that has no place on LDR 10 or any official album. If the album is only 13 songs long, then it's an absolute filler for Lana's lack of inspiration (and Antonoff availability) 100%. A part of me is still hoping LDR 10 ends up being a double album - given all the delays - and she will ad songs like The Mirror, Tough, The Prettiest Girl in Country Music, etc. In that case, Stand by Your Man can close Part 1, and Country Roads can close part 2, or vice-versa. Hoping that one of the album will be more Lust for Life-ish (the one with the Mirror, 57.5 Tough, QITS, maybe Hey Baby Blue), and the other can be more ballady (Stars, Henry, Bluebird, Prettiest Girl). If she pulled this off, it would make all the delays totally worthwhile. In that case, we win with 25 songs. Worst case scenario: we get 13 songs on one record, no Mirror, no Prettiest Girl, but both CR and SBYM, and 5-6 songs we've already heard. In this case, we lose.

I'm so bored, I could die. I think we've officially exhausted every LDR 10 topic and theory under the sun.

It's really not that devastating. More of an uplifting ending tbh. Go finish it. Top 10 movies of all time for me. It's perfection.

Growing up in East Europe, adults would always talk about how disgusted they are by America. As a little movie geek, I never understood why they were saying that. I thought America was the shit. As an adult, I now completely understand them. America is not even a country - it's a corporation, there to serve the zionists, the billionaires, and other greedy f-cks.
