I love Lana but idk about this, did she have to call out all those girls? Especially Ariana whom she worked with, I fell like she could’ve done without mentioning them. Not to mention it’s basically a white lady tearing down all people of color (except Ariana)

i find it ironic she mentioned all these artists but not Miley. Like IK she worked with Miley, but like We Can’t Stop is not any different than Beyonce’s music.

 Lana gurl WHY. Bey’s most recent #1 was the Perfect remix with Ed Sheeran, an innocent ballad about love. It ain’t some slutty pop song.

 

And the audacity to come for Kehlani.

 

someone worked up a nerve

You people are paying too much attention to the "name dropping", she used those artists as examples, not to drag them or point at them, at any point she talked about their artistry, quality or any aspect of who they are. Lana is totally right with saying that at one point she got dragged to the floor for singing about the same topics women in music are touching now and being praised for, but she is not saying that those musicians should not touch those topics, the problem are NOT those artists, the problem is the public and how they react and change their minds to praise some and still drag others.

It seems people like the NFR! Lana just because it was a safer record and a more pleasing to everyone sound, and i see how in this topic in particular some are using the album to negatively call out her past work, but Lana is still that Ultraviolence woman, she decided to switch it up because of public reaction, now she's seeing how it seems like she can go back to that because the world has chanced and more women in music are putting themselves in the same position.

This really took me by surprise. Add this to the fact that she's affiliated to a homophobic church and things start making sense.

She is? What church does she associate with? I thought she wasn’t religious anymore.

Her post reads like my drunk 2am Facebook post dragging Joe Biden maybe sis had a few too many Pabst blue ribbons on ice and was feeling chaotic

The way y’all are so sensitive and can’t even let a woman and artist speak about how she feels without you feeling “uncomfortable”. She made so many good points. You all have no problem calling out any queen on this site, but the moment an artist does it, you find it unnecessary. That’s a joke. At the end of the day, she’s an artist. If she’s been through abuse, let her write and bring her vision to life the way she she’s fit. If you think it a graphic, don’t listen to it. If you don’t want to hear about abusive relationships, don’t listen to it. I’m just tired of a small vocal minority trying to destruct the freedom of being an artist, all in the name of political correctness and propriety.

I love Lana and I do think she should be able to sing and write what she feels. But she does have a tendency to glamorise abuse. Literally the line ‘He hit me and it felt like a kiss’ from Ultraviolence is glamorising abuse. Whether that’s her reality or not, people will call her out with missteps like that.

This line is taken from a 1962 song by the Crystals. I can promise they didn’t get the criticism she received for that line back then. As a whole, I do think it was extremely ballsy for Lana to do this. All of you saying she’s doing it promote her new record, must not be fans of Lana. It’s possible the 9/5 date changes 7 times and it’s so far away that it isn’t promoting at all. If this note came out a week before the lead single then sure I can see your point. I’m not sure what led her to write this post, and including Ari on the eve of a huge song coming out is suspect, but I agree with 90% of what she said. I just hope none of those girls clap back at her. Lol.

Oh my god. So much yes. What a brilliant post.

She was so disrespectful by name dropping these fellow hard-working female artist just to make her self victimizing post .

The same way she disrespected gaga all because of jealousy.

America isn’t racist, people are racist. The black people in America represent our country just as much as the racist people do. If Lana wants to sing about something that is her decision to make and you have no right to degrade her because of it. People defend strippers here every day but can’t stand behind someone playing a submissive roll in a relationship and singing about it. In reality you are the one being anti-female empowerment by posting this. This is extremely empowering for Lana to post.

Wtf strippers have to do with this? You don't need to shame sex work in this conversation. Feminism is about not shaming other women decisions even if you are not ok with them and even more if we are talking about work or ways to survive in this world.

“Let this be clear, I’m not a feminist” 

- Lana Del Rey, 2020 

 

Anyway, I’m just going to move on and continue to like her MUSIC, like I do with many artists regardless of their opinions.

Separate the music from the person and you’ll enjoy music more freely, I promise. 

I read that too, but she actually says "I'm not NOT a feminist"
