Lana Del Rey confirms new album out September 5th, blasts haters who claim she's "glamorizing abuse," mentions main pop girls

[Jordan Miller]

Lana Del Rey wrote a note to fans venting her frustration about claims that she glamorizes abuse. 

She genuinely wants to know why some our biggest female artists out right now, like Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat, Cardi B and more, can unapologetically sing about $ e x, but she's not given the freedom to sing about what she wants.

BTW, I don't think she's dragging the artists mentioned, just pointing out a double standard.

"I'm fed up with female writers and alt singers saying that I glamorize abuse when in reality I'm just a glamorous person singing about the realities of what we are all now seeing are very prevalent emotionally abusive relationships all over the world."

She added: "There has to be a place in feminism for women who look and act like me -- the kind of woman who says no but men hear yes -- the kind of women who are slated mercilessly for being their authentic, delicate selves," the post continued.

Read the full note below. Thoughts?!

You beat me to it lol. I was coming here to post this

The negative reaction this has caused has reallyyyy made me lose faith in our generation.

While I agree that the name dropping wasnt phrased in the best way, she was merely illustrating her point that women are more free to sing about toxic relationships than they were when she was singing about it in 2012-2014. She is merely asking that she be held to that same standard, and is angry for the emotional turmoil the media caused her when they unleashed their hate tirade.

[Urbanney]

Anyways, I fully agree with her (as you probably guessed based on my “Lana Del Rey is the most influential artist of the past decade” post). Part of what has made Lana so interesting was her ability to make music about something that wasn’t discussed previously. She’s right, no one else was singing about the things she did and she paved the way for female artists to be able to talk about previously undiscussed things as well. 

Talking about things that no one else is talking about allows people experiencing those things to have an outlet and to feel like they’re not alone. I know she certainly gave me something and someone to connect to when all pop music was just happy partying and I was depressed and wanting a hopeless romance like the ones she was singing about. 

As always, I stan

I'll start by saying she has a good point. I'm not quite sure the way she worded it and the use of examples were the best way of getting that point across......

Quite a few of the artist she name dropped have received a lot more criticism than Lana has for the music they put out and while she has gotten her fair share, her essay was quite tone deaf. 

[Roxxy]

I didn't know people thought that way about her music.  Who are these people? Is it publications or just locals? If it's just locals, then F them. Who cares what they think.  Just make music Lana. Four for you Lana Del Rey. You go Lana Del Rey.

This could be her White Hot Forever album which she announced was coming this year right after the release of Norman ******* Rockwell last year. Lana said she is also working on two new poetry books with Native American foundations. Although admittedly, she’s been talking about these poetry books for a while now and they still haven’t happened. Quality is worth waiting for though.

Are you excited for her upcoming album and poetry books?

My body is ready

I love Lana Del Rey and I support her!

back in 2012-2014 she would get dragged to hell and back for her lyrics - there were countless articles about the "he hit me and it felt like a kiss" line. Critics diminished her work because she spoke about these topics. It was incredibly misogynistic

Omg that's Ultraviolence.  I can't believe they would focus on that line when the entire record is phenomenal. Just another case of people finding insignificant details about you and blowing it out of proportion just to tear you down.

Every female gets hate

You think Nicki Beyonce and Ari don't get hate 

Ppl wanted to lynch Beyonce for "Formation"

Ppl said that Mac Miller's death was Aris fault 

And ppl hate on Nicki 24/7

She shouldn't have name dropped 

To me it's kinda useless cuz everyone is dragging her now she made her case even worse

that wasnt her point - she never discredited the hate women get generally

she's just saying that no one is being dragged for being vulnerable in their lyrics in the way she was.

she's not saying she's the only woman facing criticism - she's just the only one facing criticism for this specific thing - being honest about the less-than-great relationships she's been in

[Blackout2006]

This is basically like Eminem when he disses other artist in his songs but has different perspective to it lol.

She should’ve just sat there and ate her food.

[Spicechinodiva]

She's being dubbed as Using white feminism for white privilege. 

 

They already started a change campaign to drop her from her labels. 

 

They even go back to pointing out her horrible snl appearance and says sharing it 

 

Some people aren't meant to be singers.
