The artist's Instagram post ignores the contributions many women of color have made to the kind of confessional music Del Rey claims to have popularized.
put it,"The optics of Lana, a white woman, complaining about feminism lacking space for her while critiquing the acclaim allotted to several black pop artists is mortifying."
Now, before any Del Rey stans come for me, let me just say: I have adored her music since that fateful day I stumbled upon her “Born to Die” music video in 2012. I absolutely stan a lackadaisical bop, OK! Has Del Rey faced unfair criticism from reviewers because of her content? Yes, because she is a woman artist in a male-dominated industry. But her statement is arrogant and ahistorical.
To highlight how obviously hollow Del Rey’s argument is, let’s begin with one of the artists she name-checks, Beyoncé. While her 2016 albumis considered a magnum opus on such intimate, confessional subjects as marital infidelity, sex, and sisterhood, Beyoncé has been singing songs about those topics for decades, ever since she was in Destiny’s Child.
