When announcing the release date for her new album ‘Blue Banisters’, the ‘Born to Die’ singer posts the cover art that features a heavily-edited version of her previously-released selfie.
Apr 29, 2021
AceShowbiz –
Lana Del Rey may be a great musician, but her fans are questioning her sense of graphic art. The six-time Grammy nominated artist has become the butt of a joke after unveiling the cover of her upcoming new album.On Tuesday, April 27, the “Blue Jeans” hitmaker made use of her Instagram account to announce that her new album titled “Blue Bannisters” will be released on July 4. Along with it, she shared the cover art, which is a heavily-edited version of her selfie which she previously posted in August 2020.
The cover art features her photo with a sepia-toned filter and inelegant white frame. Her freckles are on full display and her frizzy hair stands out as the album’s title is written in a curly blue font at the bottom of the image.

The apparent amateur level of the image has led people to dub it a “PicsArt cover,” as Lana herself has been accused of being a PicsArt enthusiast in the past. PicsArt is a photo-editing app that is known for its amateur-friendly features, simple effects and cutesy stickers.
Due to the questionable aesthetic of the album cover, fans quickly took to Twitter to post their reactions, making the word “picsart” trending on the blue bird app. “YOU GUYS REALLY DONT LIKE THAT ALBUM LMFAO NOW PICSART IS TRENDING..,” one person pointed out.
A disappointed fan admitted, “it’s so tiring being a lana stan these days i cannot keep defending her. the picsart cover…” Another posted a meme of “lana del rey logging into picsart to make her new cover art.”
Some even went as far as creating an online petition to “ban Lana from PicsArt.” The petition creator wrote, “Lana had terrorized [us] just way too long with these edits, we need to stop her. Sign this for a future of quality album covers from Lana again.”
The petition has gained over 3,000 signatures out of its goal of 5,000. One person who signed the petition wrote, “I’m signing because I’m a proud Lana stan, she is my religion, the almighty queen of cocaine and Coney island. But the cover for Blue Banisters is the ugliest thing I’ve seen her make.”
“The Lana subreddit has better fan-made covers,” another claimed. Someone else demanded that Lana remove the bad cover, writing, “Lana baby if ur reading this we love you but these god awful album covers need to cease.”

Lana faced a backlash last year after she made comments on the topic of equality after likening herself to stars such as Ariana Grande, Cardi B, Camila Cabello, and Beyonce in a post about feminism.
The “Video Games” hitmaker wrote on social media, “Now that Doja Cat, Ariana (Grande), Camila (Cabello), Cardi B, Kehlani and Nicki Minaj and Beyonce have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, f**king cheating etc – can I please go back to singing about being embodied, feeling beautiful by being in love even if the relationship is not perfect, or dancing for money – or whatever I want – without being crucified or saying that I’m glamorizing abuse?????? (sic)”
Lana later added, “There has to be a place in feminism for women who look and act like me – the kind of woman who says no but men hear yes.”
She was forced to respond and argued her comments weren’t related to race.
Lana said, “And my last and final note on everything – when I said people who look like me – I meant the people who don’t look strong or necessarily smart, or like they’re in control etc.”
“it’s about advocating for a more delicate personality, not for white woman – thanks for the Karen comments tho. V helpful. (sic)”

Lana Del Rey Almost Gave Up Music After Tragic Death of Her Idol Amy Winehouse
MOJO Magazine/Charlie Grant
The ‘Video Games’ singer claims she was so devastated by the tragic death of the ‘Rehab’ hitmaker back in 2011 that she nearly turned her back on music.
Feb 21, 2021
AceShowbiz – Lana Del Rey “didn’t want to sing anymore” after her idol Amy Winehouse passed away in 2011.
The “Video Games” hitmaker tells MOJO magazine she’ll always remember receiving her first review, as it came in on the same day the “Rehab” singer died of alcohol poisoning, aged 27, in July 2011.
She recalls, “I had 10 seconds of the most elated feeling, and then the news everywhere, on all of the televisions, was that Amy had died on her front steps and I was like no. NO.”
“Everyone was watching, mesmerised, but I personally felt like I didn’t even want to sing anymore.”See also…
The “Blue Jeans” star goes on to admit she loved the anonymity and lack of pressure in the early days of her career, revealing she even recorded a track for a toilet roll commercial.
She said, “I maybe thought about Broadway. You’d get like a hundred dollars for singing background on records that would lead to nowhere.”
“There was this company that emerged called The Orchard that was taking submissions for, like, toilet paper commercials and I definitely did one, like, under a pseudonym.”
“Definitely the happiest I’ve ever been. Stay in the middle, no dog in the race, people would even hire me for background stuff. I tried to act so cool on every sofa I sat at.”
But Lana, who is set to release her seventh album “Chemtrails over the Country Club” on 19 May, insists she has no plans to step back from the limelight, sharing she has a “cover album of country songs” and another collection of “other folk songs” waiting to be released.You can share this post!

Lana Del Rey Features Controversial Mesh Mask in 'Chemtrails Over the Country Club' Music Video
[embedded content]
The visuals is unveiled one day after the ‘Young and Beautiful’ singer receives backlash over her statement as shares the cover art for the upcoming album on Instagram.
Jan 12, 2021
AceShowbiz – Lana Del Rey has treated her fans to a music video for her new song “Chemtrails Over the Country Club” off her upcoming album of the same title. The visuals was unveiled on Monday, January 11, just one day after she teased the cover art for the album on Instagram.
The vintage ’60s-style video features Lana driving her little red sports car to the country club. She is then joined by her friends who occasionally sport her infamous shimmering mesh mask. Things, however, take an unexpected turn when a twister a la “The Wizard of Oz” appears and takes the singer to her red convertible.
Later in the visuals, Lana and her gal pals reunite as they transform into a pack of werewolves who are howling at the moon in the middle of the night.
“I’m on the run with you, my sweet love/ There’s nothing wrong contemplating God/ Under the chemtrails over the country club,” Lana sings. “We’re in our jewels in the swimming pool/ Me and my sister just playin’ it cool/ Under the chemtrails over the country club.”See also…
The singer sparked outrage over comments she made after posting the cover art for her upcoming album that featured her posing with a bunch of female friends who are from different races. The 35-year-old wrote in the now-edited caption, “As it happens when it comes to my amazing friends and this cover yes there are people of colour on this records (sic) picture and that’s all I’ll say about that but thank you.” She added, “In 11 years working I have always been extremely inclusive without even trying to. My best friends are rappers my boyfriends have been rappers.”
In response to the backlash, Lana explained on BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac, “Before I even put the album cover up, I knew what people were going to say. So when they actually started saying things, I responded and I just said, ‘I got a lot of issues but inclusivity ain’t one of them.’ It just isn’t. You can’t just make it my problem,” she said.
“My friends, my family, my whatever… They’re not all one way and we’re not the ones storming the Capitol. We voted for Biden. My girlfriends come from all over the world, they have children from all different types of people. And I’m mentioning all this, like, to people who are listening, because people really wanted even more people of color on my album cover. Which you know is, to a point, a photo just is what it is,” she continued.
“I wasn’t being preemptive, I was definitely responding, but… I just feel like if that’s really what people are gonna say, I have an answer for them, which is that if you look closer, you will see people of colour. It’s a black-and-white image, so zoom in, you know. It’s just weird, you know?” she concluded.You can share this post!

Doja Cat Appears to Defend Lana Del Rey's Controversial Instagram Post in Cryptic Tweet
Instagram/WENN
Meanwhile, after multiple clarifications, the ‘Born to Die’ singer is constantly trying to explain her true intentions with her controversial remarks as she is accused of racism.
May 23, 2020
AceShowbiz – Doja Cat might be the only one musician whom Lana Del Rey mentioned in her controversial Instagram post that publicly reacted to it. Fans noticed that the “Say So” hitmaker wrote a cryptic message on her Twitter account before quickly deleting it, prompting fans to assume that it was her response to Lana’s anti-feminist rant.
The said tweet read, “Gang sunk that dunker.” The post wasn’t up for too long since Doja removed it immediately. The singer, however, wrote part of the phrase in another tweet on Friday, May 22, saying, “Gang ______________. (Complete it).” Additionally, she changed her Twitter handle to “GANG?”.Doja Cat wrote a cryptic message.
Doja went with cryptic tweet and Twitter name
Fans, however, were struggling to decipher the meaning of Doja’s tweet. According to a fan, “gang, meaning a friend and in this place referencing Lana. So Lana sunk, as in she landed, and dunker meaning the point trying to get across, (Imagine dunker meaning truth bomb). So Lana’s points were made.” Should this interpretation be true, Doja is definitely in team Lana.
Meanwhile, Lana is constantly trying to explain her true intentions with her remarks as she is accused of racism. After multiple clarifications, the “Born to Die” singer posted on Friday on her Instagram account “a couple of final notes on my ‘controversial post’ that’s not controversial at all.”
“Despite the feedback I’ve heard from several people that I mentioned in a complimentary way, whether it be [Ariana Grande] or Doja Cat – I want to say that I remain firm in my clarity and stance in that what I was writing about was the importance of self advocacy for the more delicate and often dismissed, softer female personality, and that there does have to be room for that type in what will inevitably become a new wave/3rd wave of feminism that is rapidly approaching. Watch!” she added.
“Perhaps I could’ve given more context to my post by mentioning the title of the second book that would be out next March called ‘behind the iron gates- insights from an institution’,” she continued. “I’m sorry that the folks who I can only assume are super trump/pence supporters or hyper liberalism or flip-flopping headline grabbing critics can’t read and want to make it a race war, when in fact the issue was with *female critics and *female alternative artists who are dissociated from their own fragility and sexuality and berate more sexually liberated artists like muself and the women i mentioned.”
“My aim and my messages are clear. That I have control of my own story. If the women I mentioned don’t wanna be associated with me that’s absolutely fine by me,” Lana concluded.Prior to this, Lana insisted that she mentioned Nicki Minaj, Beyonce Knowles, Camila Cabello, Kehlani, Doja and Ariana in her original post out of admiration. “To be clear because I knowwwwww you love to twist things. I f***ing love these singers and know them. #that is why I mentioned them I would also like to have some of the same freedom of expression without judgment of hysteria,” she explained. “the singers I mentioned are my favorite singers. so if you want to try and make a bone to pick out of that like you always do be my guest.”

Lana Del Rey Drags Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Ariana, Cardi B as She Denies Being Anti-Feminist
WENN
The ‘Summertime Sadness’ singer criticizes other artists for singing songs about ‘cheating and f**king’ as she hints at being unfairly accused of ‘glamorizing abuse.’
May 22, 2020
AceShowbiz – Lana Del Rey has called out her critics in a lengthy note on social media posted on Thursday, May 21, 2020, hitting back at claims she “glamourises abuse” in her music.
The “Video Games” star has long been slammed by critics who call out her provocative lyrics and musical explorations of domestic violence as “anti-feminist,” with singer Lorde among those criticising the hitmaker.
“A lot of women in this industry maybe aren’t doing so well for the girls,” the “Royals” star told Fader back in 2013. “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.’ ” She also accused Lana of being “like, ‘I’m not a feminist,’ ” but, according to the “Summertime Sadness” singer, that’s simply not the case.
In the post, Lana insisted, “I’m not not a feminist,” stating, “I’m just a glamorous person singing about the realities of what we are all now seeing are very prevalent emotionally abusive relationships all over the world.”
She said, “Now that Doja Cat, Ariana, Camila, Cardi B, Kehlani, Nicki Minaj, and Beyonce have all had number ones about being sexy, wearing no clothes, f**king, cheating etc – can I please go back to singing about being embodied, feeling beautiful by being in love even if the relationship is not perfect, or dancing for money – or whatever I want – without being crucified or saying that I’m glamorizing abuse?”
“I think it’s pathetic that my minor lyrical exploration detailing my sometimes submissive or passive roles in my relationships has often made people say I’ve set women back hundreds of years.”
Insisting she’s being “honest and optimistic about the challenging relationships I’ve had,” the “Venice B**ch” star went on to share, “There has to be a place in feminism for women who look and act like me – the kind of woman who says no but men hear yes – the kind of women who are slated mercilessly for being their authentic, delicate selves, The kind of women who get their own stories and voices taken away from them by stronger women or by men who hate women.”
Closing the message, Lana added she’s determined to “detail some of my feelings in my next two books of poetry” and teased “there will be tinges of what I’ve been pondering in my new album that comes out September 5th.”The hitmaker previously revealed her forthcoming seventh studio album will be titled “White Hot Forever”.

Lana Del Rey Claps Back at Accusations That She's 'Glamorizing Abuse'
Instagram
The ‘Born to Die’ artist takes to Instagram to explain her side while throwing shades at fellow female musicians including Doja Cat, Ariana Grande and Beyonce Knowles among others
May 22, 2020
AceShowbiz – Lana Del Rey sets the record straight. In a lengthy Instagram post on Thursday, May 21, the singer-songwriter hits back at critics who accused her of “glamorizing abuse” in her songs throughout her decade-long career. She explained her side while throwing shades at fellow female musicians including Doja Cat and Ariana Grande, Beyonce Knowles among others.
“Question for the culture: Now that Doja Cat, Ariana, [Camila Cabello], Cardi B, Kehlani and Nicki Minaj and Beyonce have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, f***ing, cheating etc – Can I please go back to singing about being embodied, feeling beautiful by being in love even if the relationship is not perfect, or dancing for money – or whatever I want – without being crucified or saying that I’m glamorizing abuse?” she opened her post.
“Im fed up with female writers and alt singers saying that I glamorize abuse when in reality I’m just a glamorous person singing about the realities of what we are all now seing are very prevalent emotinally abusive relationships all over the world,” she continued. “I think it’s pathetic that my minor lyrical exploration detailing my sometimes submissive or passive roles in my relationships has often made people say I’ve set women back hundreds of years.”
In her post, Lana also claimed, “I’ve been honest and optimistic about the challenging relationships I’ve had. News flash! That’s just how it is for many women. And that was sadly my experience up until people point that those records were made. So I just want to say it’s been a long 10 years of bullsh**t reviews up until recently and I’ve learned a lot from them but I also feel it really paved the way for other women to stop ‘putting on a happy face’ and to just be able to say whatever the hell they wanted to in their music.”
Concluding her rant, Lana hinted that she’s preparing for her album and her “next two books of poetry” in which she would be “detailing some of my feelings.” She added, ‘And I’m sure there wil be tinges of what I’ve been pondering in my new album that comes out September 5th.”Fans appreciated her honesty as one of them wrote in the comment section, ” love you for being so honest and open and not being afraid to speak your mind! Continue being you, millions of people love you and relate to you. You’ve saved me thru ur music and has inspired me and made me who I am today and I thank u a million times for that.”
Excited for Lana’s new album, another fan said, “I’m so happy you stuck with you after all these years. You’ve always been authentic and that’s why we love you. Can’t wait for September 5th.”You can share this post!
