I don't follow this fluorescent lightbulb of a pairasocial relationship h so this version isn't out yet for months , or was it like a "this comes out in 3 days and he stole them early"?

It's supposed to come out I think July 7th. This is pretty standard. Albums are usually made beforehand and done months before a release. They are then in stores a couple of weeks before the actual release. This is like the old school ways in which things leaked before streaming.

They're radiating 'I clearly have my headphones on and yet these motherfuckers keep trying to talk to me' energy

I love how a record can apparently be leaked when it's widely available for purchase

"At the Plant: but sometimes copies fall off the back of trucks"

lol irl

lol I never knew all the ways these leaks happen. I would love to know which one specifically happens for Lana Del Rey's music lol.

Wasn't hers from her own laptop that got stolen? Not only that (tho I could be making this up) but I think her iCloud was also hacked or something?

That’s crazy because I remember an album that was supposed to come out one week, and when I went to buy it I found out it had been delayed a week so they could add an additional track. Next week, there it was in store with the added track (which I’m pretty sure was uncredited on the album art and liner notes). I was shocked things could change that last minute. I could swear it was Angie Stone’s Mahogany Soul, and the added song was the remix of Brotha with Alicia Keys and Eve but I can find no evidence to support this online, though there is conflicting information on the date it was released with Billboard saying one thing and Wikipedia another.

This also makes me wonder about album releases that were cancelled last minute and what happened to all the physical media.
