Lana Del Rey took to social media and named a few big artists including Beyonce, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande, saying that now that they have made it on the charts with songs about being sexy, dancing for money etc can she be allowed to make songs of whatever she likes without being criticized for it or being told that her music “glamorizes abuse”.
Upon her debut release, Del Rey’s music was described as “Hollywood sadcore” by some music critics. It has been repeatedly noted for its cinematic sound and its references to various aspects of pop culture; both critics and Del Rey herself have noted a persistent theme of 1950s and 1960s Americana. The strong elements of American nostalgia brought Idolator to classify her firmly as alternative pop. Del Rey elaborated on her connection to the past in an interview with Artistdirect, saying “I wasn’t even born in the ’50s but I feel like I was there.
Lana denies “Glamorizing abuse” in her music.
This is what TSR captioned the screenshot:
“#TSRReactionz: #LanaDelRey had a few questions for “The Culture” as she released a statement and asked them was it okay for her to go back and make her usual records, now that certain other artists have achieved the number one spot with their songs!! (SWIPE)”
