when yall expect a single tomorrow only to find out Lana is the single bc she's announcing her divorce

I don’t wanna make this about her husbands politics again but with everything that trump, elon & the rest of the republicans are doing I don’t understand how she can idly sit back and watch everything her husband supposedly supports, happen. I would be wanting a divorce if my partner was actually happy with the state of the US at the moment.

I’m sorry you don’t like hearing it, but it’s true and people should be called out for supporting fascism  

 

but like I said I’m not fully intending to direct the discourse onto her husbands politics. I just hope she realises what a loser this guy is and leaves him.

she already said she’s happy in this relationship, and after ages of not posting, her last instagram picture was literally her pants with his name on them

 

we don’t know him personally so as @KeiichiDelRey said, can we not?

A-men. 

[Ethel Cain 9,215]

Yeah…I will never understand why it’s become a hot take on this site to not condone marrying someone with harmful political views 

 

But anyways its been said again and again so I guess the people who should be hearing this won’t

Well maybe she supports what’s happening too like many other millions of Americans. It is time to accept and move on I guess.

 

Spoiler

and don’t come back with “but she put a curse on Trump”, it’s almost a decade old.

No more than any of us would.

 

We know little to nothing about their relationship, we don't know Jeremy, and we don't know Lana either. It's none of our business.

 

'Facts,' suppositions, and opinions about her political beliefs have varied widely over the last decade or so, largely based on brief sound bytes like 'I don't find feminism a very interesting idea,' or whatever her exact wording was.

 

She wrote at least one song against Trump during the his first administration--When the World Was At War--and the other political songs from LFL were dropped. 

 

Based on what we know or think we know, we can stop stanning her or drop her completely if we want to. We have choices. 

 

TRPWS is, I think, unlikely to have any direct political content. 

[Daytona Beach Sparkler 5,968]

We need a miracle to save us at this point 

[Vertimus 9,956]

And let's not forget Ann Powers writing about how Lana should or must feel and think on any number of issues as a woman and female. Otherwise, Powers implied, you're out of the girls' club, you're foolish, you're a puppet of male influence, a manipulated media creation, retrogressive, etc. 

 

Here's one Powers snippet from the NFR! era: 

 

"Lana Del Rey is all about wrong combinations: sunset dreams and dirty water, Mexican-American braids and a wetsuit, hip-hop flow and torch song feeling, conventional feminine submissiveness and post-feminist self-possession. Cognitive dissonance is the essence of her art, the way she builds her dream logic...The tone of her voice as she uttered these words [in Video Games] was forever after labeled "sad," but was really something different. My mom would have called it "needy"; today, more common descriptions are "disempowered," "self-sabotaging," "unwoke.""

 

Kim Gordon, the respected co-founder of Sonic Youth, also came out against Lana for being retrogressive and backward. "The Sonic Youth founder says: “Today we have someone like Lana Del Rey … who believes women can do whatever they want, which, in her world, tilts toward self-destruction, whether it’s sleeping with gross old men or getting gang raped by bikers. Equal pay and equal rights would be nice.”

 

I say, let Lana be.

 

People have a perfect right to like her, love her, dislike her, or dislike who they perceive her to be even if they continue to like her music, and say so, as all of us do about any performer or anything at all. If Lana is anti-feminist, then she has that right (though I don't think she is).

 

Politically and culturally liberal artists (and cultural institutions themselves) like Joan Baez, Patti Smith, Stevie Nicks, Courtney Love, and Bruce Springsteen--would hardly support Lana is she was the way the media has painted her. I note most or all of them believe in the relativity of belief and the depth and complexity of individuals.

 

What's fascist is to say, "You must think this way about feminism," "you must believe as I do about Marxism, Wokism, or MAGA-ism," "there's only one way to think about _______," etc.   

 

We'll see what the lyrics and album concept of TRPWS will add to this ongoing conversation and debate. 

 

[Rita Hayworth 375]

Damn… I thought you wanted to move on from the topic but now there’s an entire think piece? Hahaha

The thing is, OB the single dropped beginning of December. 

The album dropped end of March. So, first single four months ahead of the record.

 

If "Stay" is indeed coming out May 21st, then we should be getting it in Feb. 

 

Now, the issue is we haven't got a single shred of evidence that May 21st is happening (aside from Lana saying so which means abs. nothing). 

I don’t even believe May 21. Don’t think I ever did. I was rooting too much for her, the previous eras, with the weird dates and look how it turned out
