In a powerful message, Lorde urged her fellow producers and musicians to step up. 'So let me be clear: this ongoing systemic brutality by police is racist, it's sickening, and it's unsurprising.'
, the Grammy-winning songstress issued a message to fans via email over the weekend, in which she condemned police brutality and described her efforts to help fight against it.
"I've been following this week's events in the States from New Zealand. I also attended the peaceful protest in Auckland today to support the Black Lives Matter movement," the 23-year-old performer said. "One of the things I find most frustrating about social media is performative activism, predominantly by white celebrities ," Lorde continued."It's hard to strike a balance between self-serving social media displays and true action.
The singer went on to proclaim her support to her listeners who have been affected by this injustice and whose culture has informed her music. "As someone who has made art directly inspired by and in conversation with hip hop, it's my responsibility to let you know that I'm here," she wrote.
The performer concluded her email with a message focused on her"black and brown listeners" and a link to a petition calling for the police officers in Floyd's arrest to be fired and. "I'm so sorry this is your reality, that you haven't had a choice but to be defined by this, to give it your energy. I'm aware of that tax on you," she wrote."I hope white people you know are doing what they can to ease your load.
