I hope Blue Bird to be better than Henry... really, this song was kinda a bummer for me (unfortunately) as it feels like something from Blue Banisters (which I found to be quite boring)

 

Girllll.... Shut yo trap lol. Henry is divine, and one of her best ever. Time to see an ear doctor and see if everything's coming in all right?

It's not a Lana album without delays and name changes  I'm glad we're getting another song next week but I hope the final album is a bit longer now cause 13 tracks feels short if she's putting out multiple pre album singles with a delayed record (unless it's only these two for Stagecoach)

 

I hope the album title is more punchy like Born to Die, UV and NFR, rather than Chemtrails or Ocean Boulevard.

 

Perhaps something like:

 

1. Rodeo

2. Tequila Skies

3. Rodeo Queen

4. Ride or Die

5. Lasso (yes, just sneaking that in in case Lana is reading so she would consider it again lmao.

what do we think blue bird is gonna sound like melodically and instrumental wise

[Make me your Dream Life]

Hmm. everytime she changes the album name we get a new song well u know what I don't mind that pattern lol

but I do have to say the right person will stay truly grew on me so I'm hoping at least the concept/ theme ideal will be in there still

Similar to Henry (Luke writing/producing, and Drew strings). Maybe it'll be a bit more upbeat?

 

Because Henry was a straight-up ballad. 

 

I'm hoping for something like Beyonce's Blackbird. Vocals on top of vocals, beautiful melodies, and a great country vibe.

The thing that’s shocked me the most about this era so far is the near unanimous praise that Henry has been receiving. It’s a pretty slow, simple song with not a lot of drums, darkness, or anything that the usual suspects tend to wish she would do again. It’s an amazing song, and I love it. But I really love how everyone’s come together to share how much they love this little country ballad. (It is country, I don’t care).

[Make me your Dream Life]

just taking a moment to actually enjoy the start of this cycle 

[Gothicula]

If she's just delaying to perfect it, find the best title, the best album cover, etc, I'm all for it! I trust her. The one time she rushed a release ( Blue Banisters), it was messy asf, production wise. Even if you love the songs themselves, you can't deny that. Some of them literal were literal YouTube to mp3 rips. If we get two songs now, she can release it late summer/September for all I care.

NOT THE ALBUM BEING POSTPONED I TOLD YALL 😂😂😂😂😂

I had a dream that Gabe Simons was one of her producers for Bluebird

I’m mostly shocked that although our hype was way through the roof with Henry, for the last 14 months, it not only met our expectations but surpassed them. Candy Necklace and even Tulsa Jesus Freak we’rent met with that much enthusiasm upon release, especially CN.

Ldr be like:

album postponed fuck you all

yours truly

This photoshoot with Neil so far seems to pretty… I’ll have a hard time not buying vinyls

It's because we thought that it was going to be an acoustic guitar ballad song and many people lowered their expectations because BOZ and Pantene said it's boring and May Jailer with a budget. We were surprised to hear that it has more than just a guitar. And it's also affected a bit by recency bias because the last time we got an unheard solo original song by Lana was when the Ocean Blvd album dropped (not counting collaborations, covers and unreleased songs) - it was two years ago. 

 

The thing with Tulsa Jesus Freak and Candy Necklace is that they weren't singles before the album release, they were released with other 10 songs when their respective albums were released.

I wonder if it's just retitled or if the tracklist also changed cause changing the cover and vinyl sleeves wouldn't delay it that much but if they have to repress them... we're far (depending on when she decided to change it).

 

I don't think they'd let her send albums to production unless it's 100% the final product with how much she changes her mind so maybe she was supposed to submit it around the time she announced it in November but she changed her mind right before the deadline and the final album already started production a couple of months ago...

In that case we may have any a late summer release

i hope so too and i think this could be true and might explain her silence in the last few months while we were all so eager

Honestly, we've all been waiting for this record for so long. Very NFR vibes.

 

BUT now that the single has dropped, it's painstakingly clear just how much Lana cares for the music. I feel like she's working her butt off and contemplating every little sound and every line delivery. We are SO LUCKY. Because look at Dua Peep - her last album was so short, and it was shit! Our girlie is fucking ON IT.

 

Henry was SO GOOD that I don't mind this record coming out even next year.

 

We'll still have Henry, and we'll have Blue Bird... And then there's Tough, and the Abyss.

 

Imagine being an Adele fan and waiting for her to finish her hibernation... Crazy.

I also think that the vinyl production has been going on for a while now, because those 2 songs are ready as well. There's no way she's going to start it now.

If she have started it like now then the album release would be in august

[NikoGo]

I have a feeling when eclipse and honeymouns said “right person is scrapped!!” Last month that was when the new album was submitted, which means it’s only 3/4 months away, which is perfect for a middle of the summer, July album or another end of the summer August album
