one of her nicest in a long time. Another new song, 'Venice Bitch', out on Tuesday.

In case anyone has 9:41 spare, here's a second song:

Speaking with Zane Lowe about the track on Apple Music’s Beats 1, Lana also revealed that her next record, slated to come out in 2019, is called Norman ****ing Rockwell. She explained:

Working with Jack [Antonoff], I was in a little bit of a lighter mood because he was so funny. So the title track is called “Norman ****ing Rockwell,” and it’s kind of about this guy who is such a genius artist but he thinks he’s the **** and he knows it and he won’t shut up talking about it. So often I ended up with these creative types or whatever and, you know, they just go on and on about themselves, and I’m like, Yeah, yeah. But there’s a little bit of merit to it also. They are so good. I just like the title track so much that I was like, OK, I definitely want the record to also be called that.

Elsewhere in the interview, Lana said that she she hopes to release a book of poems and short stories, under the working title Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass. (She’s also training for her pilot’s license.) In addition, she said that she wants to release another new track in October.

[Wizard.]

I love these tracks, they remind me of her May Jailer days, she is really paired back too, no more huge lips and hair, just her natural self... but is she trying to lose album sales with a title like that?

[Wizard.]

Beautiful new single

[Samm]

the cover is interesting... but I kind of like it?

[Saph]

I hate the name and the album cover but the songs have been some of her best, I love Venice Bitch

[reece(:]

Doin Time was the best and it's not even on the album I don't think

[Saph]

The more I look at the photo the more I wonder why she picked it? her hand looks awkward, the face looks dead and the man just looks a bit out of place :umm2:

Nah that’s just for a Sublime documentary. Be cool f she had put it on though I agree. Perhaps a deluxe edition?

It's on the album!

This had better be worth the (year-long) wait :love:

[LaLaLand]

This is officially the HIGHEST RATED solo female album of the DECADE with a massive rating of 9.4 by Pitchfork (like -the- reviewers, if Pitchfork like you then you're doing well).

:clap2:

[Natalie.]

I love this album

[Ammi]

..it’s my favourite album of any artist in such a long time...:lovedup:..my wig is gone but I can’t though completely commit my whole body and soul until I’ve read a review from Shaun...Pitchfork who..?...

[Ammi]

...oh Shaun made the thread...Shaun, where is the review..?..

[MB.]

I've had The Greatest on repeat since it came out :love:

[Ammi]

...I think Love Song is really gorgeous also and like an addiction that creeps into you...?...she’s such a lyricist, it’s like the musical version of stepping through a great American novel of Steinbeck quality ..:lovedup:...

[Ammi]

...Lana did what Trump never could...she made America great again...:flutter:..

[Wizard.]

it's probably my favourite melodically :flutter: I had it on repeat for ages. tbf they're all my favourites, maybe except Bartender I always skip that one.

[lewis111]

I think it might be my favourite album of hers
Also probably my album of the year!

[MB.]

So she announced on Instagram today that she's releasing a new album in September. The thing is, nobody's talking about it because in the same post, she managed to throw basically every successful woman of color in music (Beyonce, Nicki, Cardi, Doja Cat, even Kehlani for some reason) under the bus, with a healthy dose of slut-shaming on the side :skull: She should have never dated that cop in the first place

[DouglasS]

I mean what she said is true

[Saph]

I get her point tbh

but she should've known she would get dragged for posting a list of only women of colour :skull:

[Saph]

perched for a new album

[LukeB]

but she didn't she also said Ariana and Camila.

I mean. That’s not what was said at all and she had a point.


God forbid getting on Beyoncé and Nicki’s fanbase wrong side though.

[MB.]

"There is no place in feminism for me, a glamorous white woman" is not a valid point, no

[Wizard.]

She wasn't wrong though

[Captain.Remy]

"There is no place in feminism for me, a glamorous white woman" is not a valid point, no

She said "a glamorous person" though.
Is this all people got from it? She made much more deeper points than that, but some people out there only see the race thing.

She was not having it anymore and had to speak her truth. A lot (if not most) of her songs are about bad relationships either on the giving or receiving end...and yet people think she's making abuse "fun" or "glamorous". She is speaking the truth of what so many women live out there and don't have a voice.

She's not doing what Nicky, Beyonce etc do and from that post I don't see direct shade towards them, but mainly towards the fandoms or people who think they are "woke" and think that what she's doing is wrong. And tbh she's singing about deeper issues than most of the artists she mentionned. :shrug:

To be fair, some weirdos do deride what they call "White Feminism", which is pretty stupid.

Activist Rachel Cargle has built a brand — and a business — by calling out racial injustices within feminism

From tone policing to whitesplaining, the liberal white women's feminism is more toxic than they realize, explains Rachel Cargle.

I'm not saying that Rachel creature is representative, but she's not the only one to karp on about such things...

[Shaun]

I think it's clumsily worded. She may have meant that those artists are free to express themselves how they wish and she wants to be able to do the same (despite... no one objecting? You were just Grammy nominated, and named the best album of the year by tonnes of publications, gal?)

She had some critics in her early/middle career but at that time she was just releasing the same dreary old **** every album, and was being presented as this breakthrough YouTube alternative star when she had just as much label cash being thrown at her as your Katy Perrys and Gagas at the time :shrug: now she's matured and honed her craft.

The whole post does just come off as incredibly whiny and attention-seeking, though.

[Samm]

yeah idc, she maybe should have worded it better, but this whole cancel culture ****! continues to be annoying

[Amy Jade]

I think this was incredibly dumb of her and it comes across like she's very much up her own arse and thinks she's better than others.

However, the cancel culture is so, so tiresome.

I do just think that it’s a case of awful wording but my god does she come off as a whiny ****.

[Wizard.]

I mean, sometimes you get mad and write dumb stuff and then cringe and regret the next day she's just human.

[Captain.Remy]

She apparently responded to the backlash.

https://www.buzzfeed.com/tatianatenreyrowhitlock/lana-del-rey-responds-to-backlash-over-instagram-post?origin=web-hf

[Jake.]

She should have made that clear in her original post :shrug:

[lewis111]

Her argument just doesn’t have any validity because most of the people she mentioned get hated on all the time. Does she think there was universal acclaim and no backlash when Nicki released Anaconda etc.?
Women who release any kind of sexual or edgy music are sadly almost always gonna be shamed I’m not sure why she thinks it’s just her?

I didn't take it as her being shamed for being sexual, more that she's classy and elegant and gets less acclaim than "trash" ?

[Tom4784]

If she releases something as good as NFR again, she can say what she wants.

[Ross.]

Mess at there being an album announcement amongst all of this

[Saph]

nn @ "bro"

[LukeB]

If she releases something as good as NFR again, she can say what she wants.

All of her albums are great so there's hope

[MB.]

Here's Lana's third post on the matter, in which she calls everyone who had a problem with her initial post "super Trump/Pence supporters or hyper liberals" (tag yourself!) and calls for the birth of a third wave of feminism, seemingly unaware that third-wave feminism has existed for thirty years

[Oliver_W]

Lol she really needs to leave it, it's not her fault people pitched a bitchfit over her reasonable comments. Going on about it makes her look "worse"

[Saph]

i mean now that doja cats been exposed for stripping for white supremacists on tinycam this hardly seems bad

Official "reveal" (?) of album #8 "Chemtrails Over the Country Club":

A LOOK! :omgno:

[Captain.Remy]

It's going to look so good! :love:

[LaLaLand]

I can't believe that:

A) We're about to get her EIGHTH ALBUM (technically ninth actually if you count VBBOTG) and

B) We're getting a new album ALREADY. I'm still not over the masterpiece that was NFR. :love:

[LaLaLand]

3 confirmed tracks:-

- Chemtrails Over the Country Club
- Let Me Love You Like a Woman
- Tulsa Jesus Freak

1 possible track:

- If This Is the End...I Want a Boyfriend

[LaLaLand]

I'm so happy she's working with Neil Krug again, they're a great pairing and always deliver such beautiful visuals.

I feel we may be getting a hybrid Ultraviolence/Honeymoon/Lust for Life sort of era here with him back on the scene.

https://lanadelrey.fandom.com/wiki/Neil_Krug

[Saph]

tbh we dont need another ultraviolence/honeymoon type thing I feel like shes kinda outdone that now :worry:

we need another NFR sounding album tbh, everyone raved about how good it was

[Tom4784]

Hopefully she can follow up on NFR's brilliance. She needs to keep going forward, I liked Lust For Life but you can tell she was definitely in a rut with Honeymoon and parts of Ultraviolence so I hope she doesn't start repeating herself again by being reliant on the same tropes when she can elevate them like she did in NFR.

[LaLaLand]

tbh we dont need another ultraviolence/honeymoon type thing I feel like shes kinda outdone that now :worry:

I think it's agiven this era is going to be highly stylised unlike NFR (which seemed more organic and true to self for her, it was her just being "an artist").

The "Country Club" aspect of the title and the look she's just revealed basically gives off 1950's high society vibes again imo.
