bizarre trailer
but no confirmed date??

Posted by: burbe 29th March 2017, 06:55 PM

So hyped heart.gif You can tell this is going to be a really special and well thought out album. "Love" has set the scene so well!

Posted by: bad gal lotita 29th March 2017, 06:57 PM

also the weeknd was clearly teased as a feature in that, can anyone make sense of any of the other symbols?

Posted by: burbe 29th March 2017, 07:02 PM

Everything is perfect

Posted by: Peenus Fly Trap 29th March 2017, 08:38 PM

Very nice trailer.

Hopefully the album is ethereal like Coldplay's Midnight, so hopefully it's the complete opposite of that, where Midnight was the outlier; and this album is esoteric, except from the lead single.

Posted by: UltraGreenLight 29th March 2017, 08:42 PM

OMG I am still out so haven't seen trailer yet as have limited connection but I am so so hyped!!! Love the album title also! <3

Posted by: liamk97 29th March 2017, 10:38 PM

Aw I really love that trailer and the positive message it gives. I'm still not really that into 'Love' (although I feel it could grow in the context of the album, if the album is good) but I've regained interest in this era already. I feel like the positive vibes could be even more effective as most people associate Lana with darker, moody music.

Posted by: Cremey 29th March 2017, 10:57 PM

Couldn't love that trailer any more. Perfect.

Posted by: UltraGreenLight 29th March 2017, 11:08 PM

What a trailer!!! So perfect I am so excited for this to slay! <3 <3

Posted by: Scene 29th March 2017, 11:40 PM

That trailer blew my mind!! Hyped heart.gif She was made to be famous.

Posted by: ___∆___ 30th March 2017, 02:52 AM

She's so back on form - fully expecting this album to be epic. Just hope she can get some hits from it.

Posted by: Sonar 30th March 2017, 12:15 PM

This voice! I wouldn't mind if her next project was an audiobook heart.gif

Posted by: Cassidy 1st April 2017, 11:12 PM

'Love' is probably my song of the yr so far and shows how multi-faceted and amazing she can be when she's at the top of her game. The potential this whole project has is overwhelmingly incredible and easily the most excited I've been for a Lana album.

Posted by: Bjork 2nd April 2017, 08:23 AM

same here, Love is by far the best song of 2017 so far

I've seen at Ukmix they claim the second single is gonna be the title track featuring The Weeknd, but not sure where their info is coming from, is that confirmed?

Posted by: Tinasha 4th April 2017, 07:12 PM

Are we finally going to get some news of the album release? I really want more music. I'd be so here for a Weeknd featuring single.

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌊 6th April 2017, 03:52 PM

The album comes out on May 26, while the title track will be out a week before according to Music Week. FYI, The Weeknd isn't credited as a featured artist in the latter, but he co-wrote it.

Posted by: Bjork 6th April 2017, 03:54 PM

finally some news but May 26 is so far away! Really thought it was gonna be out sooner, like in a couple weeks, since we already got the trailer
same for the title track, I even thought it was gonna be out tomorrow :/ but at least we know what/when to expect

Posted by: Ultra💚🚦🐱 6th April 2017, 04:05 PM

YASSSS! longer than I thought it'd be but so so hyped!

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌊 6th April 2017, 04:11 PM

The song could be released earlier to be honest (maybe this month?). As far as I know, Music Week also includes UK impact dates in their schedule, so the track could be out sometime this month and the release date (May 19) is the impact date.

Posted by: ♀mdh♀ 6th April 2017, 05:22 PM

Logically, I'd have released it a week tomorrow. She needs something to keep up the hype now the impact of Love has worn off - and a Weeknd credit would have helped her on the song whether he's on vocals or not.

Posted by: Bjork 7th April 2017, 10:18 AM

MW has taken the info down, no longer there smile.gif guess they announced it too soon(i.e. before Lana herself)

Posted by: Scene 9th April 2017, 11:44 PM

Posted by: Tinasha 11th April 2017, 07:16 PM

I think it's great. Lana smiling, the Born to Die Truck and the video games font, it's a the total antithesis - Born to Die/Lust For Life. So much thought has gone into this.

Posted by: Cassidy 12th April 2017, 02:50 AM

I think the smile is becoming the focal point of this whole era is it not?

Posted by: Tinasha 19th April 2017, 07:26 PM

I think Weeknd's name alone will turn this into at least a bigger hit than Love (which did respectably for a Lana single)


LOVE IT

OH. MY. f***ING. GOD.

This is PERFECT.

Posted by: Ashley 19th April 2017, 10:26 PM

I like it.

But there's just something about this era that isn't clicking for me. Everything from the hooks and the production to the visuals seems a bit obvious and nothing is exciting me like when High By The Beach came out.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 20th April 2017, 12:02 AM

Do y'all think this has a chance of being a hit?

I wouldn't be too shocked, tho I guess it all depends if her labels cares enough to try and make a Lana Del Rey song a hit. They'll need to send radio payola etc. But sure The Weeknd feat should help with streaming - though she is already an ok streaming artist - so it should be interesting to see how this will do.

It'll spend a few weeks top 40 in the UK I think, which is a hit for Lana.

In terms of radio, it'll get A list support from Radio 1 but the other main stations won't play her because she's too indie.

Posted by: Cremey 20th April 2017, 08:17 AM

I think it'll do really well for her, I'm imagining more than a few weeks top 40!
Although maybe I'm being too optimistic. Like you say though, a few weeks top 40 would be great for her anyway.

Posted by: Tinasha 20th April 2017, 08:30 AM

It'll probably peak on album release week, because her albums get really good first week streams. (And there'll be cherry picks on iTunes).

I'm hearing the album is out at the end of May? Do we think she can knock Ed from #1? Her last album only did 30k but there is a lot more support and hype this time round, so she'll open with more than that. I'm thinking around 40k?

The Weeknd feature should make this a decent moderate US hit, if not better. I'd be very surprised if it did nothing there.

Wayyyy better than Love, their voices fuse perfectly! Hope this can be a big hit for her.

Posted by: Parallel Reality 20th April 2017, 10:25 PM

This took me a few listens to get into it but when it does it is amazing! Very uplifting too. Solid release! Love both the singles thus far.

Posted by: jjake 20th April 2017, 11:20 PM

to me it sounds like a hodge lodge of different songs to me...the chorus is 'wildest dreams' by taylor, bits of the verses remind me of all saints and 'be my baby'

that said i like it, their voices marry well together

It's funny you said that because people are saying this song sounds like Lana's 'Without You' which was commonly said to have been what Taylor's Wildest Dreams sounds like.

Posted by: RobBob 20th April 2017, 11:38 PM

I think it's quite well documented on this site that I am far from a Lana Del Rey fan, but this has got me on board from first listen. They work so so well together and I actually think this is the first time I've heard something from her which I love since National Anthem.

Posted by: liamk97 21st April 2017, 01:18 PM

It seems Lana is slowly getting me on board with her music again. I like the "lust for life keeps us alive" refrain and I very much echo the sentiment that The Weeknd and Lana make a dream team. The song hasn't got me instantly invested but I wouldn't be surprised if I did end up really liking this. Definitely a step in the right direction.

Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd April 2017, 11:53 AM

Yeah this new song is bland af

Posted by: Bjork 23rd April 2017, 06:07 AM

love the "take off take off take off all your clothes", I wonder if this was the original chorus of the song, cos Lana explained she went to Max Martin and he made her change the song structure and a different part became the chorus

Posted by: Tinasha 23rd April 2017, 09:36 PM

This is my favourite Lana single Ride.

Posted by: ~josh~ 28th April 2017, 03:07 PM

Obsessed with Lust For Life at the moment, their voices work sooo well together wub.gif Also been playing Big Eyes and Gods & Monsters lots too, two of her most under-rated tracks imo but two of her best for me. Ridiculously excited for this album now, I really hope it lives up to the hype w00t.gif

Highly doubt it. She just recorded this in the woods a couple of weeks ago. It's a bit messy to release randomly now when people are waiting for album news.

I get the impression the album is delayed, we were getting news every week, the excellent title reveal video, then the artwork then Lust for Life...but now it's just kinda stopped cold.

Posted by: 360Jupiter 16th May 2017, 06:31 AM

Great song. Hope she's doing okay. Maybe Lust For Life underperformed compared to what her label wanted or expected?

Posted by: Bjork 16th May 2017, 06:52 AM

Of course it underperformed
She put it out thendisappeared

Posted by: Cremey 16th May 2017, 07:02 AM

Yeah, there'll be a third single for sure, but it seems silly not to release it off the back of a Weeknd collab/video.

she should release the LFL video on Friday together with the album announcement and the preorder

Do they really think they're gonna get a bigger hit single than this?

Posted by: lotita 17th May 2017, 06:47 PM

Pretty sure Lana was quoted the other day saying she won't do anything for hits, so we can expect to see this floppy promotion continuing :')

Posted by: ~josh~ 19th May 2017, 08:21 PM

I'll be kind of gutted if Coachella doesn't make the album sad.gif I wasn't gripped on the first listen but it's become a massive grower for me and I think I might prefer it to Love now too. Lust for Life also remains amazing (single of her career perhaps?!?!) so pls no more push-backs, I need the album of the year asap :')

Glad she's finally releasing the pre-order, a week before the album release is so late to do that! I've been watching out for it



There's rumours that it's out on the 28th now and not the 21st. But even if not, Lana is the kind of artist that can pull off just a week of pre-orders because her fanbase is very dedicated. She's in a much better position than last time too, as her music has had a lot more support and hype than last time around.

Guess 1 is Summer Bummer
Cherry prob the other
I'm expecting the latter to be "Groupie Love" though.

Posted by: Bjork 11th July 2017, 07:53 AM

yes yes was confirmed to be Groupie love a while ago
so we're getting the 2 tracks with ASAP tomorrow

I also think it's a bit weird to release the pre-order so late as it doesn't allow for much time to amass large number of pre-orders
the hardcore fans will do but she'll miss a lot of random casual pre-orders

Wow, two more excellent singles. So glad we have a pre-order now too, just over a week to go until another 11/10 from Lana w00t.gif

I love the full-on urban sound on Summer Bummer (sounds like the sort of thing that could be huge in the US, perhaps?) but the production is amazing on both *-*

Here's how I'd rank what we've heard so far:
1 Lust For Life
2 Coachella
3 Love
4 Summer Bummer
5 Groupie Love

I think the bottom two could maybe overtake Love in time though (I don't go back to it that often even if it is gorgeous). So glad Coachella made the album too, I was getting worried that she'd leave it off entirely!

The features are great, the add something special, and you can tell it's not a cash cow, Lana just relates to these artists and wants them on her album.

I'm so excited for this. Do we think she can make the #1? She sold 28k and went to #2 last time with an album that had nowhere near the hype or support.

I really really hope so but I'm not getting my hopes up. I think she'll open with something closer to 20k but you never know. The singles have done much better this time round and I think the album will get more streaming sales than Honeymoon so she could possibly end up with around 28k again (less pure sales but higher streaming)

Posted by: 360Jupiter 12th July 2017, 08:14 PM

Groupie Love might be my favourite so far, big Born to Die vibes. Love and LFL are good songs but they aren't the kind of songs I really like from Lana - too positive. Altho I'm really just waiting on a studio version of Cherry...

She'll get huge amounts of fan pre-orders, always does. She really doesn't need a big pre order lead in. The main issue is that she sells a lot of vinyls. Her fans always buy them, but those aren't being sent out until September.

Two days early leak is not bad at all.

Posted by: Cremey 19th July 2017, 08:21 PM

It used to be really common for albums to leak a couple of weeks before release at least but it seems like the standard is only a couple of days now. Obviously there are some that never leak early and unfortunate cases like Madonna though laugh.gif

Posted by: burbe 19th July 2017, 08:25 PM

What a stunning, perfect album from start to finish! Cannot fault it - such an incredible display of her talent. So blown away by 13 Beaches, with time it could easily become my favourite. What an absolute beaut heart.gif

First listen ranking:

01. Lust for Life
02. Love
03. 13 Beaches
04. Groupie Love
05. Heroin
06. Cherry
07. Beautiful People Beautiful Problems
08. Summer Bummer
09. God Bless America...
10. Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind
11. Get Free
12. Change
13. White Mustang
14. Tomorrow Never Came
15. When the World Was at War We Kept Dancing
16. In My Feelings

There's no point in me giving a score because everything is 10 from Tomorrow Never Came upwards. The bottom two are still 9/10 good laugh.gif

Initial reaction: the production is amazing but I actually think this is her weakest album. The melodies are weak and the a lot of the choruses are repetitive. The standard of the songs are on a par with her demos, like, they're good but you can tell why they didn't make it onto an album.

I have a feeling a lot of songs will grow on me though.

Lizzie can also save you. Looking forward to your thoughts.

I think this has overtaken Melodrama as my favourite album of the year. I'm not going to do Honeymoon dirty because I thought there were a lot more highlights than some made out. But the lyrics alone here have so many levels of depth and intrigue, there are so many songs that I have instantly fallen in love with here.

Posted by: Bjork 20th July 2017, 08:40 AM

The album is really more "lost" for life than "lust"
have to listen further but for me the biggest issue is Architecture being excluded, which is better than anything on the album except Love

Posted by: Cremey 20th July 2017, 09:13 AM

After a couple of listens I think this is probably my least favourite of hers, I'm only really liking a few. Far too early to tell though, I didn't get into 'Honeymoon' at all at first and now it's my favourite of hers.

Posted by: blacksquare 20th July 2017, 10:30 AM

Honestly, this is one of the few albums that hits as many as 16 tracks that doesn't feel bloated to me. I'd lose Coachella and possibly White Mustang (Yes, I know it's my name but I needed a noun) but other than that it's perfect.

Omggfggggg I can't wait to go to the store and buy this shit when I get back. I haven't listened yet as I've been in Florida (kilos)! Don't want to spoil a Lana experience by not being able to submerge myself in it. I'm hoping there are some bops on it while being as perfectly fluid as Ultraviolence was.

Posted by: travis 21st July 2017, 04:37 PM

Just bought it, about halfway through it now. My favorites besides the singles so far are Cherry and Summer Bummer. But all the tracks I've heard so far are absolutely gorgeous!

Posted by: Umi 23rd July 2017, 02:06 AM

I really love this album. I love every Lana album but if there was one issue I could point out with most of them it's that they really struggled with cohesiveness in a couple of directions - Ultraviolence and Honeymoon were both really consistent moods with a couple of songs disrupting that, and Born To Die was probably a bit too consistent (I'm not sure where I stand on Paradise with this). This album is really different for me in that it actually has something of a gradient of variance without ever really having an extreme jump - I was worried about 'Summer Bummer' doing that, but actually it fits in pretty well with the rest. This is... the third album in a row where she's thrown me something of a curveball with the overall sound, as I expected it to be a more lightweight album than it is after the first two singles + 'Coachella', but I'm really happy with the direction she ended up taking even though I love the songs in that vein. Overall, the album is about what I expected Honeymoon to be, which is basically Born To Die with broader horizons, and I'm so happy to get consistent hip hop influences back in her production.

I do think the album is a bit long overall, and while none of the songs in isolation drag the album down, I do think a few could be cut to make the album a bit more concise - probably 'White Mustang', 'Heroin' and 'Change' would go for me. My highlights are 'Cherry' (so many moments in this song), 'Get Free', 'When The World Was At War' and... 'Coachella', actually. I think all of those songs add something to her discography that wasn't before and they're such refreshing listens as a result. I adore how perfect a pair 'Love' and 'Get Free' make as opener and closer, and actually a major strong point I think this album has is its tracklist. It flows so well and it's bookended by the perfect opener and perfect ending. It makes it such a satisfying listen.

I don't really know where to rank this in terms of Lana albums, primarily because I've never really been able to rank them against each other. I love all of them for quite different reasons and none of them are really perfect. I got by far the most enjoyment from Born To Die but that's the most difficult one bar Paradise to listen to now, whereas Ultraviolence and Honeymoon have both gotten less use overall but work for me pretty well these days. I think Lust For Life will be grouped with the latter but with a stronger start, so maybe it is my favourite, actually. But that feels weird, so I think I'll stick with not having a ranking.

I'm so happy to hear that she's already making new songs, by the way. Hoping for a new album next year.

EDIT: Oh and I love the lyrics and themes on this album. So great hearing an expanded universe.

What do you mean? It means a lot, it means her fans and other listeners have a brilliant album to dive into. It means Lana has a hugely critically acclaimed album to her name, something she only came close to with UV and HM, but not like this.

I wish it was a #1 but it's doing fine on the chart looking to debut at #2.

I particularly adore Groupie Love (up until A$AP Rocky...not sure his part was needed in this track really), When The World Was At War, God Bless America, Beautiful People and Tomorrow Never Came <3

'God Bless America - And All The Beautiful Women In It' is the most important song this past week with everything going on in the US. Lana for president.

Really impressed with this album! Aside from the songs I already know, 'Cherry' and 'Get Free' have quickly become instant favourites heart.gif looking forward to finding out which songs will slowly creep up on me on further listens. Getting this on vinyl as soon as it comes out tbh. (on top of our Joe picking up a copy of the 'Love/Lust For Life' heart shaped vinyl for me while on his trip in the U.S., wharra babe x)

Absolutely floored that she had a Sean Ono Lennon collab on here *.* the Beatles fangirl in me is squealing.

Posted by: Jonjo 28th July 2017, 06:10 AM

Lust For Life is still my fave. But I'm always going to have a special connection with that one as it's the first track of hers I adore.

I liked the album more than I thought I would. But I think (coming from a non-fan) I'd prefer the tracks at individual, separate times. As one, whole album though, it drains for me. All the tracks sound too similar for me to properly enjoy.

I'll give it another go though!

I definitely get when people say her albums merge into one because she has a very distinctive voice, but this is definitely her most devise album in terms of emotion, and I think most people find it difficult to differentiate an album with the first listen or two (I remember thinking this for Witness). I'd give it another go for sure!

So pleased this has hit #1, I was really worried for it after the first midweeks but she pulled it out of the bag in the end - I've been streaming it like mad all week wub.gif

I don't think I've given my thoughts in here yet so now seems like a good time, it's probably not her most cohesive sounding album but all of the tracks are so strong and really sound brilliant as both standalone tracks and in the context of the album. I didn't have an immediate standout at first but Cherry has been the one of I've returned most to since, the expletives are so perfect for the track and it's easily one of her best ever tracks for me now. I'm also adoring Summer Bummer at the moment too - I think the 'white lies and black beaches' line that flows into the bridge may well be my favourite moment on the album. Finally, I think Get Free may be her most glorious album closer yet, the outro alone is spectacular and I adore the 'out of the black, into the blue' refrain heart.gif

In conclusion, I'd probably rank this as her second best album so far behind Ultraviolence but it certainly has the potential to leapfrog that. Unpopular opinion alert but Born to Die is my least favourite of hers heehee.gif

Lana Del Rey Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart, Tyler, The Creator and Meek Mill Bow at Nos. 2 & 3

Plus, Linkin Park's 'One More Light' leaps 17-4 and 'Hybrid Theory' bounds 27-8, and top 10 debuts for the 'Descendants 2' soundtrack and Romeo Santos.

Lana Del Rey scores her second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as Lust for Life bows atop the Aug. 12-dated tally. The set, which was released on July 21 through Polydor/Interscope Records, earned 107,000 equivalent album units in the week ending July 27, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 80,000 were in traditional album sales.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Aug. 12-dated chart (where Del Rey debuts at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard’s websites later in the day on Aug. 2.

Following closely behind Del Rey are Tyler, The Creator’s Flower Boy and Meek Mill’s Wins and Losses, as they debut at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively. Flower Boy earned 106,000 units (with 70,000 in album sales), while Wins and Losses tallied 102,000 units (with 37,000 in album sales). Industry forecasters expected a close race among the three albums, with any of them potentially finishing on top. All three albums actually performed better than expected.

As earlier reported, the release of Billboard's Aug. 12-dated charts were delayed. A top-tier data provider encountered technical issues, initially preventing the delivery of its data to Nielsen Music (which provides the sales, streaming and airplay information for Billboard's charts). However, the provider was ultimately able to resolve the issue, and deliver the missing information to Nielsen Music. Billboard's charts were then completed using the data.

With the entire top three debuting titles, it’s only the second time in 2017 that the top three are all new arrivals. It previously happened on the Feb. 18-dated chart, when Migos’ Culture, Brantley Gilbert’s The Devil Don’t Sleep and Kehlani’s SweetSexySavage bowed at Nos. 1-3, respectively.

Further, this week marks the first time in 2017 where the top three albums are debuts that each earned more than 100,000 units. It last occurred on the Dec. 10, 2016-dated list, when Metallica’s Hardwired… To Self-Destruct debuted at No. 1 with 291,000 units, followed by Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic at No. 2 (231,000) and Miranda Lambert’s The Weight of These Wings at No. 3 (133,000).

Del Rey previously led the list with her second full-length studio album, Ultraviolence, which premiered atop the chart in 2014. Overall, Lust for Life is Del Rey’s fifth top 10-charting album -- the singer/songwriter also visited the region with her full-length debut, Born to Die (No. 2 in 2012), the Paradise EP (No. 10, 2012) and her previous studio set, Honeymoon (No. 2, 2015). Honeymoon launched with 116,000 units (of which 105,000 were in traditional album sales).

Lust for Life is the second No. 1 for Interscope Records in 2017, following Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN., which ruled for three weeks in May.

Posted by: UltraRedLight 23rd August 2017, 11:59 AM

Not really, it was very similar to the Brixton set but with Serial Killer/In My Feelings + Art Deco snippets dropped and she added Body Electric/Change/Music To Watch Boys To/Yayo <3

(So she's still only doing 4 songs from Lust For Life 😂)

Posted by: White Mustang 23rd August 2017, 12:21 PM

In My Feelings was just 30 seconds because someone asked her and Art Deco is fake news, so you lost one song and gained 4. Your set was better smile.gif

Posted by: StillJupiter 23rd August 2017, 12:30 PM

I was wary of going to see her because I wasn't sure what she'd end up playing. She has some real gems but some I like less.

Posted by: Bjork 23rd August 2017, 02:14 PM

I saw her at Way Out West and she was the sweetest
she only does 4 songs of LFL (Love, Cherry, White Mustang and Change) but not complaining cos they're actually my top 4. You can see they're new cos she does them very bare, almost no instruments, but it's good
then of course she does all the hits from BtD, Video Games, Blue Jeans, Summertime Sadness, Born to die, Off to the races...

Really liked all the new ones, probably the highlight of the night, Blue Jeans and Born to Die were a bit weird, probably the low point...

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 23rd August 2017, 02:24 PM

i'm gutted i missed the Liverpool show... it was just too much of a technical hitch to get me there... setlist wasn't too different from Brixton though would have loved to see 'yayo' live (poss my fave Lana song).

You can hardly blame Radiohead. There can be few more blatant cases of two songs sounding the same. It's a 21st century equivalent of My Sweet Lord / He's So Fine. Lana DelRey cannot credibly claim the she's never heard Creep (as has happened in cases where the allegation relates to a much more obscure song being copied).

Posted by: Bjork 9th January 2018, 08:52 PM

but come on, creep has universal chords that are used in a million songs, it's a basic chord progression used to death, not something unique and extraordinary that radiohead came up with
it's like if oasis sued somebody for their unique chords

Posted by: Regina 9th January 2018, 08:54 PM

I mean, they do sound the same so I can see why they did it.

Posted by: Joe. 9th January 2018, 08:57 PM

They’ve denied demanding 100%, they say they’re still in negotiations about it but have never asked for 100%. No idea why Lana would say that if it’s not true though.

There’s no denying it sounds incredibly similar.

The similarity between part of Creep and The Air That I Breathe was fairly clear from the first time I heard it, long before the song became a hit which might generate enough money for it to be worth taking legal action. I assume the writers of that song (as they are now credited with co-wriitng Creep) would receive a cut of anything Radiohead were paid.

I saw Albert Hammond last year in Wimborne in concert delving into his deep back catalogue of great songs. I'm sure he'll be happy to hear Lana Del Ray is helping subsidise another tour laugh.gif

Posted by: dandy* 10th January 2018, 07:53 PM

You know I'd never noticed before but it really is almost identical in the verses. It's much more than just the chord progression, the structure of the lyrics and the melody are the same.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 10th January 2018, 08:57 PM

Yeah but it is hardly that noticeable, and it is not anywhere near a massive chart hit - this seems like a huge overreaction by the lawyers on behalf of Radiohead for no reason other than: because they can. I'm getting pretty sick of the growing number lawsuits based on tenuous similarities or even being heavily inspired by the feel or groove of a previously released track like with “Blurred Lines” and more recently “Uptown Funk” that seem to get more and more ridiculous and pretty much based on greed. Let's face it those last two were only brought about because of the huge amount of money the aforementioned tracks have attracted in royalties rather than any apparent injustice or lack of credit for artistry - if you want to massively stifle creativity then this is a way of doing it I guess..

Posted by: Suedehead2 10th January 2018, 10:40 PM

Not that noticeable? It's almost exactly the same tune. Anyone not listening to the lyrics would think it was a cover version.

Posted by: Brett-Butler 10th January 2018, 10:49 PM

I agree that the "Blurred Lines" case should never have gone the way it did (I feel that lawsuit ended up being a judgement upon Robin Thicke, rather than on the nigh-on-nonexistent musical similarities between the two songs), but in this case I can definitely hear the musical similarities. I do believe that it's unfair to blame Radiohead for starting the lawsuit, if past examples are anything to go by, it is likely that it was Radiohead's publishers that made the claim, rather than Thom Yorke & co.

Some of Lana Del Rey's singing/notes sound similar to Thom's in the chorus now that I'm DIRECTLY COMPARING THEM, but I didn't notice it when I listened to the album which was why I said 'not that noticeable', admittedly I only listened once but I don't listen to every new song I hear trying to find a similarity in case there is a lawsuit likely. This lawsuit is definitely is over-the-top, and I am not blaming Radiohead for this, just greedy publishers/lawyers.

There are a lot more blatant similarities, like Jason Derulo's “In My Head” which was a #1 hit and clearly copies the chorus from Lady Gaga's “Just Dance”.

I'm usually pretty sharp with these things, like I noticed how similar George FitzGerald's “Burns” and Adele's “Hometown Glory” were for instance and between Liquid Child's “Diving Faces” and Girls Aloud's “Untouchable” too which makes for a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c6WghHXwJg.

Posted by: Cremey 11th January 2018, 07:46 AM

I often find it hard to see the similarities with these kind of things, but this one jumped out at me straight away. I remember listening to the album for the first time and thinking it straight away, before seeing comparisons made elsewhere, which hardly ever happens for me. The verses are so similar.

Posted by: Bjork 11th January 2018, 08:37 AM

I also think many people are suing others without motive, Blurred Lines , Uptown Funk
also Sam Smith/Tom Petty, it's just coincidence that you use the same chords
the number of chords is finite and there are classic chord progressions that everybody uses

if you learn to play C G Am F, you can play a thousand songs that have the same progression
like Taylor Swift only knows those 4 chords and all her songs have the same chords

Posted by: Joe. 11th January 2018, 09:27 AM
