Currently perched at #1 on iTunes USA, 16 year old Pop newbie Lorde is fast becoming one her genre’s more celebrated (and respected) contributors, scoring big on all fronts with her brand new single ‘Royals’.
Now, days before the September 27th release of her debut album ‘Pure Heroine’, the performer has shared her thoughts on ‘Teenage Wasteland’ belle Lana Del Rey, billing her music ‘unhealthy’.
More below…
In an interview given to Fader, Lorde shared:
“I think a lot of women in this industry maybe aren’t doing so well for the girls. I’ve read interviews where certain big female stars are like, “I’m not a feminist.” I’m like, That’s not what it’s about.”
“She’s great, but I listened to that Lana Del Rey record and the whole time I was just thinking it’s so unhealthy for young girls to be listening to, you know: “I’m nothing without you.” This sort of shirt-tugging, desperate, don’t leave me stuff. That’s not a good thing for young girls, even young people, to hear.”
“I don’t really have any girls songs [for the new record]. I should have. But I think the way in which I assert myself as not being about that stuff is by writing about it in a way that’s a bit less obvious and less cloying. There are a couple songs on the record about relationship-y stuff, but I make sure to write about it in a way that you don’t know if it’s a friend or a relationship, because that’s something that’s personal to me.”
In a way I agree with her when she talks about “I’m nothing without you”.
F*** LANA AND ROSIE!!!
Not you threatening me before I even wake up. The definition of “seething.”
I can smell Rosie’s seething replies to this poor little girl already lol.
Lol good can’t wait to drag that d***.
Of course the Z-Squad are the first to run in this post. You guys stay more pressed about Lana than about I’m Out (of The Charts) being in the 500’s on iTunes in Cierror’s only market.
The way that gold plaque for body party is set up hun maybe if u spent more time patronizing your IRRELEVANT fave versus responding to a Z list squad (that u care so much about) she could be somewhere
now keep typing paragraphs, UGLY 😆 😆 😆
Not bragging about a not yet received Gold certification. LMAO. Local Party isn’t even close to gold and it won’t be for at least a year at this rate.
Summertime Sadness is platinum, something Cierrot hasn’t achieved since the Bush administration.
Lana is still bigger and better than she is
Lana’s been around for years, Lorde is just breaking out. Shut up with your irrelevant comments please.
LMAO DRAG THAT B****.
Lmao.
Lana has also faced brutal public & media scrutiny because of b******* gossip mongering of hollywood media & bloggers. This caused deppresion & anxiety to her. Ultraviolence album was her answer for the haters. Lorde insulted her during that particular vulnerable time.
if my comment was irrelevant, u wouldnt have responded to it. Lana will continue to be bigger and better than this unknown b**** stay pressed and go home
B**** Lana aint s*** but a fail.
talking about fails -> Appluase
But applause peaked higher than summertime flopness so stfu f**.
considering tt it was suppose to be the “song of the year”, it flopped hard
B**** if u hate Gaga so much why do u have her song line in ur name? Sit the f*** down.
did i say hate gaga? hmmmm the truth hurts doesnt it?
While I love Lana and have both Paradise and Born to Die, I have to agree with Lorde. It doesn’t matter that Lana is bigger right now. I’ve heard “Royals” SO much more on the radio than “Summertime Sadness” and Lana is OBVIOUSLY amazing in both her writing capabilities and her vocals but if you take a good look at the lyrics you can easily see what Lorde is saying. Born To Die is all about her own personal experiences and turmoils. She’s not just writing these songs for shits and giggles. It’s her past and it’s raw, but she doesn’t want her fans to make the same mistakes, unfortunately some of her more impressionable fans do because she’s not saying NOT TO in her songs, interviews yeah maybe, but not in what most people are hearing.
i spent my teenage years with kurt cobain’s songs, which according to your logic should have made me take drugs, commit s******, etc – didn’t happen though. lady gaga’s fans won’t walk around naked or wearing meat dresses, etc.
I would chose her any day over sleeper del ray bish sounds like she drowning
Like she’s drowning….lmao. I don’t care for either of these irrelevant h*** but Lana> whoever this chick is…
I agree with Lorde
you would
Love you mama…,The little monsters will never support that trash Lana ever again…
Lorde>Lana
Oh lorde yaas honey. Truth tea = spilt
This b**** needs to learn quick to shut her mouth and keep her useless opinions to herself. She’s f****** 16, go play with your barbie dolls, s***. She has no legitimate relationship experience to even comprehend why it’s such a compelling topic for artists. When somebody dumps her ugly ass and breaks her heart, then she’ll understand.
YOUR OPINION IS S*** AND H** YOU WILL DEAL. 😉
DADDY GAYGAY SUCKS AND SHE’S A HAS BEEN.
Who plays with Barbies at 16? And ppl could say the same about ur useless opinions on a blog. At least she is doing something with her life she loves to do. What do u do besides troll and stay anonymous?
It’s actually funny you say that because Lana was out partying at 14. She was an alcoholic at 14, and got sent to a private boarding school like she says in “This is what makes us girls”. Lorde is simply being mature and not writing not-so-vague songs about exes (which was a remark at Taylor Swift, who really isn’t as mature as she likes to believe). Oh, and if you were as big a Lana fan as you seem to be you’d look up her f****** backstory. Real Lana fans, like the magnificent Lana herself, can accept some justified criticism and not call others derogatory terms.
But this was not criticism. Lorde criticism against Lana’s lyrics was unjustified in National Anthem song because that track was a criticism against opulence higher class powerful people. Lorde as a songwriter was not able to detect that criticism against opulence. But her criticism regarding is justifiable for Without you song, admittedly.
Lana, because of brutal media & public scrutiny, was having depression & anxiety. She also face problems in her personal life. Nobody in media industry was respecting her.
To prove to herself she started recording her album ‘Ultraviolence’.
And during period, lorde insulted lana as irrelevant.
Meaning of irrelevance is that a particular artist’s work is wastage & have no any value at all.
Its understandable that LDR will took it personally.
Lorde herself should have thought about it before dissing anybody
Before anyone goes “seething”, it should be noted that Lorde has said she is a fan of LDR and likes her music.
Lorde sings music that is very relevant for young people her age and she is right that in this sense songs that have women needing men isnt a picture we should be painting to the young and impressionable. So I agree with her, though LDR is hardly the only one to do it but her example suited the topic.
Kinda like when DC3 went from independent women to let me do everything for you because your my man on cater 2 u and coped a lot of flak for it. Though I do love that song and video /getting off topic now lol.
She didn’t said she is a fan of Lana. The transcript of interview shows that she only apologized drake & nicki minaj but not lana del rey
Who is Lorde ?
SOMEONE MORE FAMOUS AND RICH THAN YOU’LL EVER BE H**.
There are at least a billion people more famous and rich than me and you combined, so what sense does your comment make really ?
Someone with a top 10 hit you know something Beyonce hasn’t had in over 4 years.
What does Beyonce have to do with this whole thread ?
And she’s still one of a few artists who can still go platinum in the states and sell around 3 million worldwide even 16 years later, why does she need a top 10 single at this point ?
Who needs hits when u have been an album seller for years? It’s also funny how her flops are still hits somehow just cuz of her name alone. She has that power.
When will the majority of these sanctimonious singers/musicians learn that it is not “healthy” to openly downgrade a fellow artists’ work, especially when you are an up-and-comer?
I wouldn’t class Lana’s “National Anthem, Born to Die, Blue Jeans, Carmen and/or Ride” as “unhealthy/I Can’t Live Without You”- type songs, nor has any critic for that matter so what exactly is this 17 year old talking about?
Two of the Best-Selling female albums of the 21st Century are ones of which the prime lyrical topics were about the ‘Heartbreak & the Sullen State of Relationships’ – Adele’s “21” & Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” – so why isn’t she commenting on their work? Clearly, they are universal issues that EVERYONE can easily relate to.
Although Lorde’, to an extent, brought to the surface a very strong point, I would hardly call her musicality ‘ground-breaking’ so who is she to actually criticize?
A “1990’s- influenced, Minimalist/Pop- oriented, Trip-Hop- based song” that is as commercial and mainstream as any other Top-40 song in 2013 and carries a message of which is smart, and savvy, but been done so many times in the past is barely innovative.
1) Remain content with your success.
2) Continue to create the “real” music that you claim you do.
3) SHUT UP
I agree, in most part with your comment, but i dont think she has a point. Music is an outlet that is attracts people for various different reasons. If Lorde’s intention is not to make music that focuses of the pitfalls of relationships and the desires of love, to be loved and to need someone at anypoint in her life well hey! but for some they can relate to that need and desire and find an emotional attachment to it.
I’m not sure how the full article panned out, but its funny how she didn’t target a bigger star Like Whitney, Mariah, Rihanna or Beyonce for example to save getting dragged back to Australia
This long ass double spaced novel for what? young girls don’t listen to “adele'” or “Amy” lana is usually on their ipods to adding those two to this equation was pointless.
B**** stfu and get a life.
LOL
Now u know u went in,,,,,,, I AGREE BOO.
So she can not have an opinion? People on this site comment and put down artist everyday every second but when an artist gives an opinion, all hell breaks out. Lol funny u all are. On this topic one will say “she should not put down other artist..she is too young to know” next post the comments will read “that flop b****, H**+, she is trash… etc”
This site and SOME of its followers are the Pot calling the Kettle BLACK
THANK YOU!
But the smart Lorde than apologized drake & nicki minaj but not LDR. That’s because LDR was hated by media pundits & people. While drake & Nicki minaj even if they faced some criticism were prominent in charts, album sales & media.
Lana sold 5 million albums with no mainstream hit. Young & Beautiful was a top 20 U.S. Hit & Summertime Sadness was even bigger. Lorde sis you tried it! And I guarantee you will not sell that much once your EP &/or album drops!
never once did she say she wasnt a fan of her music, she said some of her songs are unhealthy for younger girls to listen to. hence: Drug references, being overwhelmingly clingy, singing about lolita ( VERY controversial), referencing street walking. i agree with Lorde and the rest of you are sad and delusional.
lorde is more talented than Bewhorce
lorde is more talented than beywhorce
lorde is more talented than beywhorc
OFC, WHO IS NOT THOUGH? THAT H** IS A FRAUD, SHE ALWAYS LIP SUNCS, STEALS WRITING CREDITS. EVEN THOUGH KATY PERRY SUCKS LIVE, SHE IS STILL HONEST AND SINGS LIVE… kATY >>> BEYANCE
And I’m sure more talented than u…
Feminists sicken me.
I’m sure anyone standing up for their rights sickens u considering ur just an Internet troller and anonymous self hating bully…
I agree w/ Lorde on the topic of YOUNG girls. I gave her EP a listen and she writes with respect and knowledge. I enjoy her and appreciate her concerns for young people and music today. She is the talent that music is all about. Music is another form of poetry and she is a poet *in my opinion
Royals & Love Club are two songs I really like.
LORD! PLEASE SHUT LORDE UP! First ..I’ve never heard of her til now …so let’s be real. Love songs like Lana makes have been around forever. Lana’s approach is nothing short of genuine genius. 5mil+ sold with no MAJOR hit, . Not everybody wants to be hard and a feminist ALL THE TIME.I hate when women act like they cannot be vulnerable. I get that this is her opinion but really? Girl your video depressede..I know that ain’t healthy either.
YOUR OPINION DOESN’T MATTER H**. lORDE >>>
Agrees with lorde… Lanas a weak b**** inside and out…
Lana has no backbone that’s why she’s a depressed alcoholic. Lorde 16 and clocking tea on Rosies weak b**** made fave.
LDR stop drinking alcohol during college.
The nerve of this girl, your album ‘Pure Heroine’, are u kidding me. Lana is the best female artist of the past 5 years, her music ir Art, of course some people find her boring but didn’t they think the same about Opera, this girl comes to me as a Lana wannabe, less beautiful, interesting and talented…
Listen to ‘Ride’…..It takes me to heaven.
Lana is a f****** joke her music is dry and boring…
Expected from a Carlos fan, go to twerk somehere.
@SuicidalWhiteFag B**** that comment is so LATE!!!!! Yall act like Lana is really something on here when shes the most overrated artist of all time she cant sing she has no stage presences and her music is the most boringest S*** ive ever heard…
Your crush on me, kind of freaks me out a little bit.
B**** SHUT UP YOU STAN FOR OLDONNA, THAT H** HAS ZERO TALENT. LORDE >>> OLDONNA
Lol yaaaas clock ha @lorde
Kids, lol.
a HEROIN is a female hero LOOK it the f*** up.
I see no lies… Yall need to get out Lana hairy ass crack.. Lorde was speaking nothing but the f****** truth… Lana music sounds so suicidal like shes so dependent on a f****** man… Cant stand insecure b****** like Lana
lmao yesssssss. Lama Del gay is a flop h**.
Then why is she SLAYING Locals worldwide with a nearly 2 year old single that was released in half of Europe a year ago? I thought Borde was the new it-girl? More like the next Gotye. Except even his song was more global.
Her songs supports people who feel deppressed & lonely. So your comment is ignorant.
YAAAAAAAAS LORDE READ HA!!!!! Please tell me where the lies are? Ain’t nothing cute about a girl who acts like she isn’t nothing without a man thats some weak s***! Im so here for lorde plus it didn’t take her 5 years to get some US shine like it took Lana del fail.. Lmao.
Who is this little b****? She seems a little too cocky and need to humble herself real quick! You’re not on Beyonce’s level boo! 😉
And what level is Beyonce on seeing she’s been flopping hard since 2011.
BXTCH BEYONCE IS QUEEN ! YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHO SHE IS ALMOST TWO DECADES HAVE A SEAT!!
AND NO BXTCH AN EXAMPLE OF FLOPPING HARD IS CIERROR!
BTW HOW ARE YOU HANDELING YOUR FAVES 5 YEAR DECLINE?!<<<
B**** KEEP CIARAS NAME OUT YOUR POST YOU OBSESSED H** F**
H** GAGA HAD ALREADY ECLIPSED OLDONCE IN TOURING AND IN ALBUM SALES WITH LESS ALBUMS. SO TRY AGAIN.
GaGa is a bigger and better star than Beyonce could ever be….
LOL SWEETY IT DOESN’T MATTER!
BEYONCE>>>>GAGS>>>HORDE!
GAGA IS DONE! 5 LITTLE YEARS OF BEING OVERHYPED AND SELLING GIMMICKS!! KII BTW MCSWT IS COMING FOR THATWIG!
How is GaGa done when she can still get top 10 hits and Beyonce can’t you really are a dumb black h**… when was the last time beyonce sold a million in the first week? Oh never kiiiiiiiii
LOL I WOULD EXPECT A BASIC ASS GENERIC SONG LIKE APPLAUSE TO TOP THE GENERIC 100, EVEN THOUGH ITS CHANCES OF HITTING #1 WERE SLAYED BY BASIC PERRY!!! KIIII
SECONDLY BEYONCE DOESNT NEED TO DISCOUNT HER ALBUM TO SELL A MILLION FIRST WEEK! KIIIII YOUR FAVE WAS AN OVERHYPED GIMMICK, AND THE WORLD HAS MOVED ON DEAL!
It Beyonce 15 years to reach the level of success that it took GaGa 5 years to do.. i see why your mad.
It’s sad how the beyhive and monsters are fighting considering they are two of the best performers and artists of this generation….smh. So much for uniting.
WHO WANTS TO BE ON OLDONCE’S LEVEL THOUGH? WHICH NORMAL PERSON WANTS TO BE A FRAUD, THIEF, FAKE, GENERIC R&B *DIVA* WITH AVERAGE VOICE AND VULGAR DANCING ON STAGE, J.LO WANNABE? AND THAT PICTURE IS DISGUSTING.
LOL YOUR NOBODY ASS FAVE WANTS TO BE ON BEYONCE’S LEVEL! BEYONCE IS A SUPERSTAR! SHE IS THE STANDARD FOR YOU AND YOUR LESSOR ASS FAVES!

Sn:I NEVER LIKED YOU BXTCH! YOU ARE A MAJOR TROLL, ESPECIALLY ON QUEENONCE’S POST! 😉 😉 DEAL!
Your such a bully.
I don’t know her or listen to her music so I will comment on behalf of LDR. Music is an outlet in which a person speaks on what they’re feeling or what they’re going through. An artist like LDR who makes real music shouldn’t be criticized like that. For one young girls are NOT the only ones who listen to Music so she shouldn’t have to dumb down her lyrics because of that.
P.S Born To Die + Take Care + 4 is an unhealthy combination. I’ve experienced that one night. Ended up hitting up my ex on some next s***.
The fact that I was on you f***’ minds as early as 5 AM though. I already dragged her 8 million times this week for this interview (and looking at this post, the majority of TGJ agrees) I’ll leave you all with this:
iTunes Worldwide Artist Ranking:
10. Lana Del Rey
34. Borde
iTunes Worldwide Song Ranking:
14 & 44. Lana Del Rey – Summertime Sadness
28. Borde – Locals
iTunes Worldwide Album Ranking:
29. Lana Del Rey – Born To Die (The Paradise Edition)
34. Lana Del Rey – Born To Die
74. Borde – Love Club EP
stfu u stank ass p**** b@tch
Mad because your d*** hasn’t been cleaned in 5 days. Enjoy your A***.
Why it Lana so long to get a hit in America and it took this 16 year old one try and shes slaying your basic ass fav.
Yet Lana is still slaying her worldwide, where it matters.
Pure Heroine won’t even do Paradise’s first week, like your fave couldn’t with her biggest hit since 2009. Meanwhile neither of her last two singles are top 500. Bye.
She was busy selling 5 million copies worldwide of an album.
B**** ROYALS IS #1 ON US ITUNES SOMETHING THAT LAMA DEL GAY WILL NEVER SEE, SHE’S A FLOP.
Yes b**** stay clinging to a few Anglo-Saxon counties because we all know the c*** will never be as GLOBAL as Lana.
5 million sold worldwide. Borde will never.
But what about worldwide sis ?
lANA HAS NOT SOLD 5 MILLION WORLDWIDE, 4 MILLION IS MAXIMUM. SHE WAS AT 2.9 MILLION AT THE END OF 2012 SO THERE IS NOT WAY THAT SHE’S SOLD 2 MILLION THIS YEAR, 4 MILLION IS MORE ACCURATE AND DON’T BRING ME LABEL SAID THING BECAUSE THEY INFLATE SALES , AKA USE SHIPMENTS. LOETS NOT FORGET THAT LANA FLOPPED SO HARD WITH HER LIZZY ALBUM AND THAT SHE DIDN’T EVEN CHART, SO LORDE IS ALREADY DOING BETTER THAN LANA AT THIS POINT.
Lana’s first album was indie, your point is invalid.
And it doesn’t matter. Just know that Borde is local to English speaking countries, her album will not do 2 million worldwide, and that she sounds like a pressed white feminist (the only group of people still pressed about Lana in 2013).
Kii @ Borde only smashing in the US & New Zealand.
THE LOVE CLUB EP OUTSOLD ALL OF LANA EPS COMBINED, AND IT WAS RELEASED ONLY IN AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND AND US. KIIIIIIIIII AND ROYALS IS RELEASED ONLY IN ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES (NOT IN UK YET) SO DEAL, LORDE IS DOING BETTER THAN LANA AT THIS POINT. AND STOP MAKING EXCUSES, IT WAS INDIE AND? IT STILL FLOPPED HARDER THAN ANYTHING LORDE HAS DONE SO FAR. LORDE IS STILL YOUNG AND SHE HAS GOOD CHANCES TO OVERTAKE LANA. NEVER SAY NEVER HONEY.
An absolute mess. Local Club EP has yet to sell 500k worldwide. If it did then BTD sold 6 million. Stop with the inflation.
As of right now Locals is less global than Video Games. Kii. Another major label faux-hipster act that will disappear next year. Bye.
Artpop will outsell Born to fail tho!!
Agreeed.
Not when Born This Gay (“the album of the decade!!!”) barely did so by less than a million copies. Mess.
It sold 8 million worldwide so you mean it outsold it by 3 mil
Receipts? Interscope (T*****’s label) says 6 million.
Anyways im done dragging these simple h*** time to go out for brunch then to do a little shopping… see you f*** later!
Are you talking about @ Slay_Hive ?
Honey, he dragged you on the crust of his shoes. Let’s not even …
Life is so lonely .I am a rich and single man at present .I need a woman who can love me back . I also uploaded my hot photos on → →WealthyPeople.org←← under the name of cbp91302 , CERTIFIED INCOME)..It’s the largest and best club for seeking CEOs, pro athletes, doctors, lawyers, investors, entrepreneurs, beauty queens, fitness models, and Hollywood celebrities. Please Check it out!I’m serious.vf
The arguing on this site is so tired…yawn.
Don’t know who this chick is but she better pray she gets on Lana’s level someday. At least Lana is slowly getting a fanbase and getting her name out there. This chick gotta ways to go.
I didn´t know about her till now… but that doesn´t make her point any less valid. She´s right. It´s just an opinion, she was asked probably, nothing wrong in what she said. Why the need to compare sales now? lol You people are really basic. And being honest I´ve liked Lana del Rey since day one when she released Born to Die album, but I´ve always noticed she is obsessed with the same topics and sooner or later she´ll have to reinvent herself or something cos girl, a whole album and an EP (which I loved like I said) are enough if all you want to talk about is old men and how you can´t live without them.
shes so smart for her age but i love lana, to each is own
WTF you guys need to grow up, Lorde loves her some Lana but just said she didn’t like the message in one her songs, now you guys coming for her wut ? smh
I respect Lorde’s opinion. Yes, Lana’s songs, some of them, are not setting healthy examples for her audience to follow. But music is a very personal thing for every artist. I mean, musicians write about their feelings, their personal experience, their most sincere and secret thoughts which are not always pretty. Lana has stated in interviews many times that her songs are very experience-based and very personal. Why change that and take away from that originality?
Lorde can do something else and set a healthy example for girls to relate to if she feels that’s the thing she should pursue with HER music. But she cannot dictate the content of other people’s songs.
It’s a good thing she’s not afraid to speak her mind, I just don’t think her point is valid.
does it really matter sbout who is better? this is a matter between difference of opinion, guys. there’s no such thing as a “s***** singer” because everybody is unique in their own way. if you don’t like somebody’s opinions (or in this case, music somehow), it’s unnecessary to say loads of crap about them.
Beyonce is an ugly n***** w**** and so is cici lorde is clearly trans only people that matter is lana britney Madonna katy and miley everybody else can stfu seriously
Okay first of all you dont have to diss her like that okay she’s not ugly and you dont know if she’s a S***
I’m 16 and I’m a huge fan of Lana Del Rey always will be, and yes she shouldn’t be going saying that Lana Del Rey is giving young girls the wrong message.Yes some of her songs is not unhealthy but she shouldn’t went down on her like that She’s 16 Lana(Elizabeth Grant) is 27 she’s been thru relationship she’s been in those situations and yes sadly was an alcoholic at 14 but she recovered herself and is now a very talented young woman. I don’t know why she could lash on Lana like that because she has never even been in what lana been thru from being an alcohol addict to now a sober talented beautiful young woman. Lorde goes on to say that she only sings about living in the hampton and driving bugatti’s and crap. The thing is since im fangirling over Lana Del Rey I haven’t really heard something like that in her songs. Lana isn’t ignorant as Lorde think she is, because as the years past and she got hit after hit like Lana she would singing the same s***. So her statement is irrelevant and kinda true. Every pop singer on the face of this earth will always start off saying this s*** but later down the line it would be a completely different person singing about living the hampton and driving bugatti’s she’s still young and her career has just started. So she shouldn’t be saying that Lana gives young girls a wrong message and its “Unhealthy”. Is whoever listen to her songs has to be some girl who dont know better will take her music and try to copy her ways. But the thing is i havent heard anything about Lana giving young girls the wrong message until now with Lorde. I havent heard about girls following Lana like how some other girls follow Nicki Minaj and her s*** with this Barbie mess. Lana Del rey Music is unique so as Lorde and I’m telling u im a fan of royals i find it very catchy and unique and powerful because her voice is amazing. but the thing is she shouldnt have gone off on lana like that . You are 16 she’s 27 an adult has been thru what you haven’t even been thru yet so as I said before your statement is Irrelevant. Because well I’m a 16 year old Fangirl of Lana Del Rey and i havent been getting the wrong message from her and still Healthy
A fan of your song tho…… Lorde
Just for those that don’t know, a bunch of lyrics in Lana’s songs are from the classic book Lolita. Lolita is a intense book, and Lana is just gaining inspiration from the book. Please do some research before you go bashing another artist, thanks.
Dont take Lana literal when it comes to her lyrics. Without you talks about been the center of the camera eye and having a contradictory relationship about it. Is not about a person. Pay attention to the lyrics and you will understand. The same happens with Video Games, now, in this one, the title IS literall. She likes Video Games, been watched and filmed, very Vertigo (Hitchcock heroine) It´s a critique of women tranforming themselves to be loved, sometimes all of us sometime in life can be related to. Lana is very honest in her feeling and very unique, something no other talked about.
you are so true! lana de rey is a beautiful and talented artist. people say her music is “boring” but they don’t realize what the message is. lana talks about her past and how she felt. lorde is a complete “knockoff” lana del rey. lana is the true and talented artist.
ride on lana.
People like Lana and a lorde create music for themselves. They do it to express themselves. It’s not Lana’s job to be a role model for these supposed young girls that listen to her music. Many of the talented and famous people sing about REAL things in life because life isn’t just rainbows and butterflies. I guess I’m just confused why Lorde is making a fuss over Lana’s non appropriate songs when her albumn is called pure heroine….
To me, Lorde is like a less impressive version of Lana Del Rey. I’m really sure that she mimics her, not with the subject matter of her songs but her lyrics remind me of Lana’s writing in essence. Lorde is like a self proclaimed “child friendly” version of Lana Del Rey. God she gets on my nerves.
PS Lorde, I’m not a feminist.
I’m pretty sure Lana is writing for adults, not young girls. Why would she cater to young girls? She is in her late twenties.
And that’s why she looks like a man in her regular photos.
And Lana looks hot like a real woman.
