Lana Del Rey - Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd (Mar 24)

[Andy French]

I still haven't listened to most of Violet ddd. Her speaking voice is soothing and kinda perfect for it, and I like the idea of her being in her Ken Nordine/Sylvia Plath bag, but I'm almost afraid to press play for some reason

 

[rdp]

This is so sweet. She sounds so proud of this record.

Not a sermon in the album ddd googling churchome controversy-

The Yosemite reference at the end is cute

 

[Lapras]

I’m higly perched for the SYML collab. Sad Gay Spring!

 

[tylerc]

I haven’t listened yet but “more instruments” has me perched.

 

[New Flame]

March 10 isn't far away. Can't wait for the announcement of her 10th album.

 

[EarCondom]

It feels good to have a streamlined Lana release that's not plagued by PicsArt, multiple singles before the confirmed release date, and prematurely announced albums. It looks like signing off from her official Instagram did her wonders in the long run (even though honeymoon is pretty much her new official account now nn).

Probably her most straightforward album announcement since Honeymoon?

Titties out and an interlude featuring an actual Hillsong pastor on the same album? Only mother!

 

[Mister_G]

The new song sounds like the love child of Thunder and If You Lie Down With Me, my two favourites on Blue Banisters - so I’m not complaining! The last minute or so in particular is especially gorgeous, wow. (And yes, I know the « fuck me to death / love me until I love myself » line is Sad Gay Catnip but I’m absolutely living and gagging for it, sorry not sorry.)

 

[johnoclock]

Cliches are cliches because they resonate and I will be getting "fuck me to death, love me until I love myself" tattooed across my buttocks.

 

[Petty Mayonnaise]

I can’t tell if this is actually her best single since Norman or if it’s just that I’m in a better space to actually receive content from her, but either way we love her again I guess!

 

[RUNAWAY]

This is so sweet. She sounds so proud of this record.

 

[enjoy]

This is so beautiful.

It's so good. I wish it were officially on streaming. You would love it, especially SportCruiser.

 

[Secret]

I can't tell if he's kidding with the title but one of the tracks is 'American Whore' according to Jack and it's his favourite they've ever done.

He does have good taste in his own tracks - august and gold rush are his folk/more highlights.

"American Whore" is the same track as "A&W" according to the insider. Wish she kept that title.

Confirmed track titles so far:
1. The Grants
2. Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd
3. Sweet
4. A&W

 

[Babylon]

The song is beautiful. I will say it’s one of her more “playing it safe” leads, like ‘Mariners…’ and ‘Let Me Love You…’. But beautiful nonetheless. Excited for the twists and turns and continued beautiful melodies of the rest of the album.

Aesthetically, this could be my favourite Lana album cover.

 

[Euphoria]

Some stuff from ~the insider~:

"This will be her most confessional album. Record about memories, stories from the past as well as hopes for the future and uncertainty surrounding it. Heavily narrative driven, wordy, chaotic and very vulnerable. A diary of a girl who searches for guidance."

Re: A&W (American Whore):

"This song... just wild, fucking wild. It's definitely their most sonically interesting and unprecedented work to date. Probably my favorite song on the record as well."

 

[slaybellz]

Dd I saw the post because Tommy Genesis retweeted and I did in fact, jump. She's got a credit on this or something? How random...

 

[Euphoria]

Only 2 interludes, thank God... 14 full tracks! Apparently 12/16 co-produced by Jack Antonoff.

1. The Grants
2. Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd ^

16. * ^

* = Jack co-writes (4, 5, 8, 13, 14, 16)
^ = Explicit tracks (2, 3, 4, 9, 15, 16)

Bleachers and FJM are on tracks, but can't figure out which track number.

Just thought it would be interesting to do some digging into the Apple Music credits since it seems we'll have to wait on the full tracklist.

She’s back, the absolute rush this song gives me. She always delivers for me.
