Well, Lorde basically mentioned Lana in a couple of interviews back in 2013 when she first released Pure Heroin. She said that she listened to Born To Die a bunch and disagreed with a lot of the lyrical content on the album, which in counterpart inspired her to write her own material. She said something along the lines of Lana not being a good exemple/being unhealthy for girls/women.

I mean I did understood what Lana meant in her statement, some of it could've been worded better, but like...some people really have to reach and make this a race issue with Lana merely mentioning other successful female artist, some of them happening to be POC, and automatically assuming by them being successful she completely disregarded or overlooked their personal challenges and perhaps not so fortunate circumstances. As if she didn't have personal challenges or experienced bullshit in the music industry herself, which is exactly what her whole post was about.

Also, is it just me or some of her statement is a direct jab at Lorde and all the shit she said about Lana early on in her career

Funny how you actually encapsulated everything Lana meant with her post and you didn't even mention anyone's skin colour or even ethnicity... Oh wait, that's exactly what Lana meant too.

I honestly wouldn't say anything if I were her. Her statement was what it was, the more she writes, the more she feeds the beast, in simpler terms she feeds these stan Twitter folks that apparently have no life as they just keep waiting for a celebrity to say or express something slightly tone deaf to start a #SuchArtistIsCanceledParty. Which is exactly what is happening right now. Next thing we know is that Ms. Azealia Banks will wake up from her long winter's nap to drag Lana, again. Then these same stan Twitter no-lifers will rejoice "yAy AnOtHeR pRoBlEmAtIc WhItE wOmAn HaS bEeN dEfEaTeD!!!1!" then they'll go back to hating Azealia, because even they don't like her.

It really is not, Electra.

it's def more progressive than psychedelic. It's nice though.

Legit the only thing I don't like about her post is that she mentioned other people in it and I only don't like that she did so because I knew she would catch heat on stan Twitter. She's 100% right on this one.

So it was ok for critics to pan Lana as anti-feministic for describing not so glamorous/perfect relationships? I feel like you've missed the point here, like a lot of people you were so up in arms about Lana daring to mention women of colour in her post, that you've missed the point. She wants every fucking women to express what they want and stop being labeled a certain way by critics and haters. She didn't disregard the hardships that some of them have experienced, or where they are coming from, she just didn't mention it. Like I said it could've been worded better, but here we are.

As if Beyoncé didn't come from a middle/higher class family when her two parents were successful entrepreneurs and she became one of the most prolific and successful entertainers in the history of music... Like

I feel like some of y'all just don't know me and never tried to get to know me just because I went against the grain and slandered NFR. I've been a fan of her since 2012. I've seen so much bullshit when it comes to Lana, from critics and also some of her haters mentioned in my post. I am a hardcore fan of her first three records and I don't think that will ever change, it's just that I've been less of a fan of her past two records and I've been fed up with her antics since like 2016-17. I can play nice.

Stan Twitter in a nutshell.

I whole heartedly agree with Lana's post. I honestly just wish she had taken out the names off it. Lana has legit been at the receiving end of so much hatred in the past ten years, I feel like what she said is the accumulation of ten years of bullshit from critics and twitter/tumblr SJWs, I too like her am fucking fed up with people throwing the word "glamorize" whenever someone tries to be smart and explain her lyrics. It could've been worded better. Lana is obviously a fan of all the women she mentioned in her post, but I can see her frustration of seeing other women express certain views of womanhood in their music and being praised for it and her doing exactly that, but being panned as anti-feministic and problematic. What I get from this is that Lana wants all women, of all pans of life and horizons, to feel free to express themselves however the fuck they want and I'm here for that.

Snippets Del Rey is back at it again with the delayed projects. Sometimes I genuinely wish Lana would either like live in secrecy and only manifest when she actually has something properly done and finished to present and stop playing cat and mouse games with her fans.

I don't have a Linkedin account and I doubt she cares.

honestly same

What, I said it's a "good" album, but just that good. It ain't the album of the millenium. 'NFR!' is still 'NFR!' after aaall. There are still a lot of elements on this record I simply do not enjoy (nor do I think I'll ever enjoy them), but I guess I grew a very tiny soft spot for this album in the past couple weeks.

I feel like I might've judged 'NFR!' a little too harshly in the past. Lately I've been experiencing a lot of anxiety so I've connected a little more to the record. I'm not as inclined to skip the songs when they come on shuffle. Though, I still stand by most of what I said. I feel like I would've liked the record a whole lot more had the production/mastering been up to par with Lana's first three efforts and also had the record been 2-3 tracks shorter. But overall, it's good album. The title track and 'The greatest' are probably my most listened songs last year.

'Sad Girl' is criminally underrated, the bridge:"I'm on fire baby, I'm on fire", ties with the guitar solo in 'Pretty When You Cry' as the emotional apex of the record in my honest opinion.

It's just whatever to me I guess. I actually like the song before the outro kicks in (and also the "if you weren't mine I'd be jealous of your love"). Like I said I think it's cute song. But, while I'm into prog-rock and psychedelic rock, the song lacks structure it's almost too random and also there's something just plain and beige about it, but then again I feel this exact way about the whole damn NFR era.

I don't know why you guys are arguing as to which song is most overrated on NFR, when in actuality the album as a whole is overrated. But if I were to truly give an opinion I'd say that both songs are equally overrated. Some fans think 'California' is the most amazing song because they think it's about Barrie (which it might as well be for all I care). It's an alright song, I guess it's the most emotional on the album as far as vocal delivery goes, but on an album full of unnecessary musical outros that replaced bridges, the song weirdly lacks both. Choices. As for 'Venice Bitch' her fans with entry level taste in music somehow convinced themselves the song is revolutionary because it's like 10 minutes long, when also in reality the long/hazy musical outro basically beefs up what is weak song to begin with. I would've honestly think the song is amazing had said musical outro had actually been interesting to listen to, but it lacks structure and the guitar/bass riffs are too basic for me to care for like a whole 6 minutes. It's cute, but it's a skip.

There you go. I looked through her Linkedin profile as well and she works in entertainment as a consultant/producer. She's also a "certified life coach" or whatever that means. My best guess would be that Lanz met her at the church.

Honestly the instrumentation and the intro are amazing, but somehow the song feels kinda "meh". Also, I think that 'Cherry' is a song that has a lot of potential live, it's cool track with the little choreography she does, but I rarely listen to it, and if I do it's the clean version, the unnecessary cussing, while knowing the gaysTM live for it, is just corny to me. Overall I feel the same way about 'Cherry' as I do with most 'LFL' songs... too much cheap trap beats.

I don't like 'Burning Desire', I'm someone that lives for the Lana's low vocals, but there's something about this song I've just never enjoyed.
