The singer called out artists like Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Camila Cabello, Doja Cat, and others for landing number one hits about "being sexy" and "wearing no clothes.".In a lengthy message posted to social media today, Lana Del Rey said she's "fed up" with being criticized for "glamorizing abuse.".She said the books will benefit Native American foundations. She also confirmed the release of two books of poetry with Simon & Schuster, the second of which would further detail these feelings. She also shared a photograph of her FaceTiming Jack Antonoff, who produced 2019’s Norman Fucking Rockwell! – hailed by many publications, including the Guardian, as the year’s best album – leading fans to assume that he would be working on the new album. Reflecting on a decade of such accusations, Del Rey said she was happy that she had “paved the way for other women to stop ‘putting on a happy face’ and to just be able to say whatever the hell they wanted to in their music – unlike my experience where if I even expressed a note of sadness in my first two records I was deemed literally hysterical as though it was literally the 1920s”.Īt the end of the post, Del Rey announced that her seventh major label album will be released on 5 September and that it was likely it would contain “tinges of what I’ve been pondering”.
“Now that Doja Cat, Ariana, Camila, Cardi B, Kehlani and Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, fucking, cheating etc – can I please go back to singing about being embodied, feeling beautiful by being in love even if the relationship is not perfect, or dancing for money – or whatever I want – without being crucified or saying that I’m glamorising abuse?”
She invoked a wave of recent female-led US No 1 singles, predominantly by women of colour, to make her point.
