She would have been a way better pick than Sam Smith.

to YOU.

True.

tbh

Why is this the answer to every argument on ATRL - to immediately draw conclusions to another artist? There is no comparison between an artistic and performing FORCE like Madonna, and a good-studio-vocals-only performer like Lana.

Honeymoon was boring and as a result of it people probably looked elsewhere.

BB trying to garner her attention for the next film, since they still feel bad about the HBTB disaster.

this honestly always surprised me. she would be perfect for a bond theme song. i think she would also come up with something great for a tarantino song. he loves to rip off movies from the 60s and 70s and have sequences that are from that era. since lana loves those aesthetics as well, i am sure she could come up with something cool. most of ultraviolence and god knows i tried already sound like movie songs from the 50s through 70s.

I was giving you an example. You speak of artistic growth which has nothing to do with doing the Bond soundtrack and I gave you an example of an artist who was not at her peak, so that she shouldn't have done the Bond soundtrack (according to your logic).

Do you even know who has done the Bond soundtrack in the past? Duran Duran, Garbage, Nancy Sinatral, Sheryl Crow etc.
And since when is Madonna's voice better than Lana's? If you still believe that after the Endless Summer Tour that Lana's voice is weak, I'm sorry.

And the soundtrack was recorded before Honeymoon even came out.

Get at least your facts straight.

How can Sam Smith show artistic growth when he's only released 1 album?

Well, with the Bond song for example? They must have heard the song before giving him the green light.

And I clearly stated that artistic growth has nothing to do with singing the Bond song unlike the one poster I quoted
