Others are simply not available in traditional places on the internet, like del Rey’s early album, “Lana Del Ray” from one of her original stage names, Lizzy Grant, which was released on CD and not converted to streaming when Grant became Del Rey. Most of them, according to a rumor, were released after a leak from an external hard drive taken when del Rey was staying in a hotel. Along with these songs, there are many-over 100-unreleased songs that continue to make her the giant she is without the recognition, money, or streams that traditionally released tracks garner. These tracks have amassed millions of streams on Soundcloud, despite lack of promotion or availability on traditional music streaming platforms. As an artist with eight studio albums, dozens of singles and several EPs, her music has left and will continue to leave an indelible impact on music and pop culture. Why would a cultural giant like herself quit social media?ĭespite her recent announcement, it is clear that Lana will never disappear. Like any announcement of a pop star with Lana’s fame, the announcement was met with anger and sorrow, along with confusion. While she will continue to release music, and possibly poetry, her presence as a social media icon will cease. We’ve got those reactions listed out below.On an Instagram video last week, Lana Del Rey announced that she was deactivating all of her social media accounts to pursue other interests. “Let this be clear, I’m not not a feminist – but there has to be a place in feminism for women who look and act like me – the kind of woman who says no but mean hear yet – the kind of women who are slated mercilessly for being their authentic, delicate selves, the kind of women who get their own stories and voices taken away from them by stronger women or by men who hate women.”ĭel Ray concluded the post by announcing two new books of poetry, which she made sure to mention were coming via publishers Simon and Schuster, and a new album slated to be released on September 5, and serves as a followup to her 2019 project, Norman F*cking Rockwell.Īcross Twitter, Lana Del Rey’s name began trending with some taking note of her mentioning of the aforementioned artists to prove her larger point. She continued with, “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 abusive relationships all over the world.”ĭel Ray then adds, “With all of the topics women are finally allowed to explore I just want to say over the last ten years I think it’s pathetic that my minor lyrical exploration detailing my sometimes submissive or passive roles in my relationships has often made people say I’ve set women back hundreds of years.”ĭel Ray then pivoted to her well-known stance that she does not identify as a feminist but believes there’s a place for women like her in the movement. “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, f*cking, 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 glamorizing abuse?” Del Ray starts. In the wee hours of Thursday morning, Del Rey, 34, shared the post and opened it with naming her fellow women artists while attempting to connect to a greater point. Del Rey named Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, and other artists for having lyrics that glorify “bad girl” behavior while hitting back at her critics who say she “glamorizes abuse.” Lana Del Rey might want to go back to the drawing board as the singer announced a new album on the heels of a controversial Instagram post that appeared to take slight digs at women of color.
