I don’t think that was the point here. She only said that her desire of making music was diminishing when she met Jack and he made her realize she could still do it. Plus she talked about how he really inserted her in the industry and we all know how the industry hated (and sometimes still hate) Lana and her music, and you can’t deny that after she met Jack he really gave her a confident boost and showed her how the music industry really works. Come on, Lana herself said that she didn’t knew you had to submit your own songs to the Grammy until Jack helped her out with that, she was really lost.

 

I think we all should be grateful for him, liking his production or not. If he didn’t come across Lana’s path we would probably see her giving up on her own career much earlier than expected. She’s happy working with him, they make great music together. If you are worried about the kind of sound she’s releasing don’t blame Jack, blame Lana. She’s working with other producers and the sound is even more stripped back when she works with them. That’s all xx

My point is that she's THE Lana Del Rey and she needs to stop acting like she was nothing before they crossed paths--he did not elevate her art to a so-called God-tier level all on his own, to the point where she cannot envision a future without him on board.
 

She needs to give herself more credit, and also more credit to past collaborators. Jack Antonoff did not make Lana Del Rey. That's all.

Clock it.

 

In fact, Emile Haynie made Lana Del Rey, tbh.

i agree somewhat, but the point of her speech is to elevate jack and to make sure people in that room know how influential he is, especially to her. lana knows she was something before jack, but jack undoubtedly helped her get out of her comfort zone and make some of the best albums of her career. i mean c’mon, if it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have the entirety of NFR and the jimmy part in a&w! i think those are good enough reasons to like him. and lana does give herself credit, she just likes to share her success with people she has worked with, and there’s nothing wrong with that

OMG that’s exactly what i’m trying to say!!!! thank you so much

She didn’t say she was nothing before Jack, but everyone here knows how he helped her to open paths to the general public and music industry, that’s all. There’s no problem with that.

but he didn't. She was pretty f-ing big before she met him. He just got the the critics to rile up behind her. Before Jack, she was a bit more critically divisive, but not even by that much.

 

let's not forget that Jack is yet to produce a single song for Lana that charted on the Billboard 100. An argument can be made that he's more closed than opened doors for her, at least in terms of commercial success. Her last number 1 album was LFL, after all.

 

So yeah, she's kissing his ass a little too much.

My takeaway from her speech isn’t that she’s “acting like” she was a nobody, making dud albums before meeting Jack. The night was about celebrating Jack and his work, and she shared personal insight into how he has influenced her both personally and professionally. It’s not a stretch to say he gave her a major confidence boost and injected her career with the energy it needed. Lust for Life marked a turning point with critics, but their collaboration on NFR elevated her career to an entirely new level. I think it’s great that she’s had longstanding creative relationships with different producers over time. Rick was obviously a major influence, and Jack, too, has left a significant mark. As she continues to evolve, I’m sure there will be more collaborators who help her bring her stories to life. 

[jealous girl 2,228]

My takeaway from her speech was that she didn’t feel heard (by critics) until she worked with Jack, he helped her get her point across in a way that people would understand better. I don’t think saying that takes anything away from her previous albums or diminishes the work of her previous producers. It’s still good music and a lot of people understood her (people like us who became her fans based on her previous work). It’s still a fact that a lot of people thought (and a lot still do if they don’t follow her work) she was only singing about sadness, cigarettes and old daddies before NFR when she finally got more widespread positive feedback from the industry.

She looks amazing indeed. Hopefully, the cover for the new record capitalizes on that.

 

Kinda wanting a glamour moment.  Loved the OB cover though, one of her best.

i know we shouldn't care, and i don't mean to bring any negativity here, but i just had to say something... someone posted a clip of her speech on a gossip subreddit and people are being just so incredibly dramatic, catty, and honestly just vile to her, automatically assuming she's a far-right discriminatory MAGA tradwife (do they even know what tradwife means? lmfao) also just simply making fun of her, calling her stupid, a narcissist, saying her work has no value, stuff like that, i know we shouldn't care what a bunch of redditors have to say, but it pisses me off that people are so close-minded, like, okay, yeah, maybe her speech was a little word-salad-y, and maybe she said things that maybe hinted towards her viewpoints (although it also seemed like she was talking about morals and values within the industry...) but people are just being so harsh to her, and it's funny, since they're the exact kind of people who supposedly speak out against misogyny, but we know that many people who preach against misogyny only really apply that to women they like or deem worthy of that, they're being very dismissive of her as a person, all just because she supposedly might not have the same political stance or beliefs (which we can't know what with certainty) she looked STUNNING and yet all they can say is that she looks like a republican's wife, they're all so incredibly bitter and are probably very boring and insufferable people

and that ISN'T TO SAY that people cannot criticize her decision to marry someone with questionable values and beliefs, i don't particularly like it either, but the people here are just being so nasty, and i feel like they wouldn't act so vitriolic towards anyone else, people get so weird about her, and never take the time to learn more about her, or to understand her

Yes I agree it’s a bit over the top, we literally know nothing. Until we see something ourselves or Lana says it we should be careful what we are saying and stop the assumption.  I know many who are republicans and still don’t like trump or a lot of what he stands for,  there are different types of political views even within a party…it doesn’t mean to say he’s a gay hating abortion banning crackpot.
