In fact, after a decade at the mercy of other people’s perceptions of her, she’s no longer willing to be a guest star in her own story. Blue Banisters is her second album release in just seven short months, a defiant statement that it’s still business as usual for the LA-based singer-songwriter. Anyone with a modicum of humility, or a passing interest in self-preservation, might have deleted their social-media accounts and lain low for a while, hoping the world would move on.ĭel Rey has done the opposite. More ludicrously, she was pilloried for wearing the wrong kind of face mask to meet fans at a book-signing late last year.
Having tiptoed the line between controversy and credibility since the beginning of her career, she suddenly began making headlines for all the wrong reasons.įirst, she posted footage of clearly identifiable looters during a Black Lives Matter protest then later issued a rambling, defensive statement answering claims that she had glamourised abuse by questioning the feminist stance of other female artists (most of whom were women of colour). Over the last 18 months, Lana Del Rey has weathered more than a mere pandemic.
