Lana Del Rey ( confirmed ) :)

[WestCountryGirl]

Literally just finished my first listen, and I wanted to say that it's pretty much exactly what I was anticipating from the singles we got - LMLYLAW (disappointed) and CotCC (loved it) - but the good definitely outweighs the 'meh'.

Favourites so far - White Dress, CotCC, Tulsa Jesus Freak, Dark But Just A Game, Dance Till We Die.

[Hugh Jass]

I’ll give it a whirl digitally while I’m working this morning then give the vinyl a proper go when it arrives later.

Really enjoyed that on first listen. Very much want it to be summer now though. 
Really liking White Dress, the way she stains her voice so it teeters on the edge of breaking throughout sounds great.

Yeah, I love it too. Seems to be a bit of a marmite track among fans at the moment but I am fully onboard. 

"Down at the men in music business conference" has already ear-wormed it's way in.

Fans are the worst

About halfway through so far and really enjoying it. Probably sitting third behind NFR and Born To Die for me!

[Hugh Jass]

Just put it on...

[FloorFiller]

This is ace! Although I know it’s been almost two years since NFR now, the initial quick-release plan of this album had me thinking it might just feel like leftovers from that album, but there are some great little quirks and instrumental touches throughout this one that give it a life of its own.

White Dress and Dance Till We Die are the initial first listen standouts for me.

[Hugh Jass]

Enjoyed that.

[dentalplan]

Amazing. Love it.

White Dress is one of the best things she’s done. Strong way to start an album.

[Hutchmaster]

Loving this, as others have said White Dress is a real standout. Think it ranks 3rd behind NFR & Ultraviolence for me.

[priest17]

Yeah great stuff, I've not really been following the release coz its been promised for so long I couldn't keep track but really pleased with it this morning. Echo all the sentiments about White Dress and Dance Till We Die, lots to unpack between them though. Good show.

[WestCountryGirl]

She's here! Just in time for my lunch break 😍

[SwedgeAntilles]

This is great. Buzzing to get my coloured vinyl next time I get back to Scotland, provided my old man hasn't punted it on eBay by then (he's already been sending me screenshots of how much they're going for at the moment).

[CaledonianGonzo]

You love to hear Lana go full Little Feat 2/3rds of the way through.

The video was directed by Constellation Jones and, per a press release, was inspired by the work of director David Lynch.

The Men in Music Business Conference:

[CaledonianGonzo]

Pouring one out for the homies who're spiritually Down At The Men In Music Business  Conference this evening.

[Matt42]

It’s actually fantastic

[CaledonianGonzo]

That Joni cover is gorgeous

(...but it does fade out just a little too quickly)

[jyoung]

Brilliant record. Lana is one of a kind.

New album Rock Candy Sweet out June 1st. 

[FloorFiller]

Lol she’s already announced the follow up, apparently called Rock Candy Sweet and coming June 1st. 

Obviously it’s not coming out that day, or at all (it’s really hard to tell - least of all because it’s a Tuesday), but roll on the next prolonged and delayed album release.
