So much has happened since and we really don’t need a biography anecdote every time she’s on the cover of a magazine. We wanna know what’s going on now, I fear. 80% of that article was reiterating things we’ve known for 11 years and very little was actually said about her inspiration, her new music, etc. Where’s the creativity from these columnists? (stfu and let me fume) ya, people are really out of ideas when it comes to writing about her its always the same "she was hated in the beginning...but now...she is loved..." etc etc BS talk about how she started out as a character and is now her trUe SelF!1!1!! its dumb and uninspired, but music journalism is **** anyways so its not surprising
NOW Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Quote "She’s reached a point in her work, which is really my favourite place to work from, where there’s nowhere to go but way out into the ******* wilderness artistically. Go chase radio? That’d be so stupid. Go chase trends? So stupid. She created all the trends. It’s a freeing place, if you can accept it. The only place to go is to be a leader.” And he should say it Quote After a decade of feeling unexcited after the critical response to her debut album Born to Die, the greatest American songwriter of the 21st century is finally inspired about her career and life again.

NOW Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 The fact that her best album is essentially a blend of everything she's ever done...makes sense, it just all makes sense...

What's shocking to me is that I was recently reading back some articles from UV and Honeymoon and even then they were just relitigating the Born To Die drama and saying she may have been misjudged, and then pretty much all the Lust For Life and NFR press did that even more so Like no wonder she still has a chip on her shoulder about it, it's literally brought up every time she puts out music. Every album and its theme is assessed through the prism of how she and her image have evolved with critics since Born To Die. Imagine journalists doing that to Beyonce with Dangerously In Love or Taylor with her debut Edited March 8, 2023 by Beyonnaise
NOW Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) I agree on the rehashing of BTD era's sentiment and I guess I don't blame them...those were some insane times to be living in — to be overwhelmingly adored by the gp on one side and then torn apart on the other by the American media and critics. It's also how so much of the world knows her and it did define so much of the world after so it's an era that just sticks. I do love the refreshing optimistic tone she's been putting out in the last few interviews and speeches. She's happy, doesn't know where she's headed next but she's fully inspired, and is settled into the mundane routine of family life. Who would've expected that from her in 2014? Also very curious to see how those changes influence her future concerts...if she ends up surprising us and completely switching it up. Edited March 8, 2023 by NOW

(stfu and let me fume) I'm with you. Everyone's like "That was such an amazing interview!" I'm like, really? They could have cut like 75% of it talking about her ******* backstory again. I wanted to know more about the album, or Lana's thoughts on her own music.

It's copy pasted except after it builds strings and drums come up and makes it sound grander. But it's essentially the same instrumental with ha vocals and additional production during the chorus.

Whew this excites me because I love both instrumentals and find them ethereal, calming, and interesting

ontherocks Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Why are some of y'all claiming she's not promoting this album? She absolutely is. What is she supposed to do? Blow bubbles out of her ass? Idgi Edited March 8, 2023 by ontherocks
Mariah's Glove Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 The grandfather sample is used wonderfully I think. It serves as a beautiful base to the song, but very much stands on its own with all of the additional production on top of it. I’m very happy with how it seems like all the samples are being used, I was super worried about that at first but I think it’s a cool new style in her music
