"Tropico" (Scrapped) Album Recording/Writing Timeline and Creative Process Discussion

[That Venice Bitch]

I will never get tired of talking about this lol

 

This WILL be the question I ask whenever I meet her lol

[longtimeman]

To be clear, I'm also obsessed with this project/era, but I'm also quite sure the last person we'll get any concrete info from about it is Lana.

Tbh she's the most random person I know so she won't surprise me anymore.

I'm definitely sure that Rick Nowels would remember every detail about this, idk he remembers a lot of studio stuff, the way how he has described his studio work with Lana and others on social media

I've heard him interviewed, and he's really on top of the history side of things - remembering facts, details, specifics. All the things that Lana is completely useless with. And he seems to really remember his time working with Lana very fondly, so there's no reason for him not to go into detail. However, it will have to be someone from here, because in the context of his career, Lana is one of the more niche artists he's worked with, and Tropico is definitely the most obscure part of their collaboration, not helped by the fact that 'Tropico' is also the name of a different, well known and official (movie) release.

I think she does, she reworked Connection for Blue Banisters and Pink Champagne for Chemtrails and both of these albums are quite new cause it's from 2021. So I think this project after many years still has a little place in her heart.

omg rick playing a piano, maybe they were recording pink champagne? its the only song i can recall having piano from that era (or maybe old money)

[The Siren]

wait why is this thread tagged as HOT? did something leak?

[Lanaparadiserey]

Do we have the Old Money version that is rumored for this tracklist? And was the recent Black Beauty demo that leaked was the one from this tracklist?

Question, but were Wild One and Axl Rose Husband considered for Tropico? I think I heard that they were but I might be misremembering it

2.I Talk To Jesus (same)

[...]

10.Old Money

11.Pink Champagne

 

[Crazy Husband Thief]

OMG I noticed something else!

There is a double-sided arrow going from Pink Champagne to whatever is written between "We should have left but you" and "Took UR B Better"
