She's my favourite artist and I've still never seen her live so if she ever comes back to Aus I'll be happy with anything tbh. At this point I'll be okay with a ten minute hologram with Question for the Culture being spoken over it

Guys how is this song STILL in my head. I woke up this morning singing it and I fell asleep last night singing it. I didn’t want to get sick of it before it was even released so I literally haven’t even listened to it for several days and I’m still here bopping around the house like a cowboy singing FIFTY SEVEN POINT FIVE MILLION LISTENERS ON SPOTIFY

I hope she releases this and Husband of Mine soon because I'm going to end up getting over the songs before they're even released with how many times I'm replaying these live versions. So far they're the two top songs on the album for me. Also they would've made much better lead singles but I appreciate her commitment to releasing what feels right and not what will perform well

can everyone stop complaining omg this song fucking rocks. stop stressing over whether its marketable or whether people will take it out of context or whether it will chart well or whether it will work on the same album as bluebird, just enjoy the music guysssss pleaseeee

Back in my day insiders revealed actual cool shit, now they just say “album coming at some point between now and 2057, also tour announcement coming some time in next 19 months” and then charge 5 bucks a month

I just arrived in New Zealand, where's the new track?

So am I booking a flight to NZ in 8 hours orrrr

For real they’re so lucky I’m lazy as fuck or id be creating one of those twitter insider accounts just to fuck with yall

Hey soooo I haven’t checked this board in a week but are we getting another song on Friday or are there any other updates / rumours / things I can obsess over

Surprised by the lukewarm reaction, I think it’s beautiful. Her vocals are beautifully mixed and CLEAR as fuck, I actually didn’t need lyrics to understand her for the first time in like…a decade? Beautiful and simple metaphor of her holding a bluebird and wishing it would fly away from the house to a happier life because she doesn’t have the strength (or wings) to do so herself. I also really love all the strings, it feels like country that’s had old 50’s whimsical Disney added to it. Definitely picking up where she left off with Sweet.

Nah you're totally right, idk what I was thinking when I wrote that. The vocal mixing on Ocean Blvd isn't great at all, but it simply didn't bother me because all the other elements on the album were so beautifully constructed that it felt intentional (I know that's an unpopular take.) My greater point was about the vocal mistakes, like when her audio stems get clipped and you can still hear half the word before it's cut off, or how you can hear two sharp intakes of breath right next to each other in between words. I know some people don't notice or care about that stuff but it really takes me out of the song because it's an obvious mistake, not a creative decision. Blue Bannisters (the song and the album) is absolutely full of these mistakes and I don't recall them being on any tracks in Ocean Blvd except maybe on Fingertips.

4 mins, I think it was Bozo that said

His favourite artist is Dua Lipa, he likes generic radio friendly pop hits, and that's fine, but we shouldn't be relying on him to comment on the quality of a Lana song when her aesthetic is slowed down, dreamy and emotionally nuanced. Also idk why anyone even respects these insiders anymore, they literally just say stuff like "there is a song coming soon, it has instruments in it and it will be more than 3 minutes long, and some people say it's a little boring, and it will be part of an album coming next year that will contain multiple other tracks" and everyones like OKGMGGGGGMGGG

I don't care how fast or slow the new album is, or what genre it is, I just want it to be interesting. I didn't love Blue Banisters because it was mostly piano ballads with vocal errors all the way through... So many tracks on OB were slow ballads BUT they had rich, layered instrumentation and interesting chord progressions and her vocals were properly recorded and mixed. My only criticism of Henry is that her vocals aren't processed well, you can literally hear the vocal stem get clipped at 2:42 where she starts saying "don't" and then there's her vocals being flat for that next line "don't even bother explaining." Not to be a hater but I just don't get how that doesn't get fixed before the song is released. It's literally so easy to fix something like that, and that's what scares me about the next album because Blue Bannisters was FULL of these little vocal mistakes and then OB was a huge turnaround. Y'all want to hate on Jack for everything but at least all of his work is well put together and properly polished before it's released. I am hopeful that there's a better mix for the song coming though, just like how the BB singles were all mixed again when the album dropped, and the music video for Henry that she posted the other day clearly had a different mix and added instruments throughout.

That user is exclusively a troll, there is no question it’s not a real review
