In a follow-up Saturday post, the singer said the new piece would appear on “Behind the Iron Gates - Insights From an Institution,” the second of two spoken-word LPs she has recorded, and which she says is due in March the singer previously announced her first spoken word album “Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass,” as well as a follow-up to her Grammy-nominated album “Norman F-ing Rockwell,” which features extensive collaboration with Antonoff. Not to her it isn’t, but it’s very funny to watch.A post shared by Lana Del Rey on at 2:29am PDTĬapping an online controversy that has played out over the past few days, Lana Del Rey dropped a new spoken-word piece titled “Patent Leather Do-Over,” featuring music by Jack Antonoff, late Saturday. The singer sparked attention with a forcefully worded Thursday post in which she wrote she was being accused by critics of “glamorizing abuse” and held to a different standard than fellow female artists like Doja Cat, Ariana Grande, Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Kehlani, Nicki Minaj and Beyonce, who “have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, f-ing, cheating, etc.” (you can read all about that here.) I saw Ashlee Simpson and, yeah, that’s a major f–k-up. “And I didn’t think it was a major f–k-up.

It was an outrageous assault.”ĭuring the “SNL” performance, Rey performed her songs “Blue Jeans” and “Video Games.” She was panned by the media, and Brian Williams even called it “one of worst outings in SNL history.” He added, commending her for pushing through the criticism, “Most people, that would have flattened them forever. I know you’re sober and everything, but just don’t take any notice of these people.'”

The Lana Del Rey controversy such as it is proves that todays music.

Daniel Radcliffe, who hosted that particular episode of SNL, commented. If the first stage of the Lana-versation was marked by a lack of actual content, her disastrous January 2012 performance on Saturday Night Live changed all that.
