“And I want revenge.” Rock Candy Sweet is out June 1.Īs of writing, Del Rey has yet to announce any singles or collaborations for Rock Candy Sweet. “You’re right it would have been unnecessary if no one had significantly criticized everything about the album to begin with. She underlined (in red, no less!) where the writer notes Del Rey’s “defensiveness” in the album cycle. Let’s get one thing clear: Del Rey is pissed. “I will continue to challenge those thoughts on my next record June 1 titled Rock Candy Sweet.” “Just want to say thank you again for the kind articles like this one and for reminding me that my career was built on cultural appropriation and glamorizing domestic abuse,” she wrote on her Instagram story.
Del Rey responded to one Chemtrails review in particular - a Harper’s Bazaar article titled “ Lana Del Rey Can’t Qualify Her Way Out Of Being Held Accountable” - and used it as a launching pad to announce Rock Candy Sweet. The personal statement went about as well as expected and Del Rey fully dumped herself in internet hot water, and the discourse followed her as she released her title track and video for Chemtrails, said she was “including” people of color in her album artwork, and up through the album’s release. In 2019, Del Rey publicly hated Ann Powers’ review of her fifth studio album, Norman Fucking Rockwell! A few months later in 2020, she asked a “question for the culture,” in which she said she was fed up with critics who say she glamorizes abuse and wondered why her mostly women of color contemporaries were allowed to write hit songs about "being sexy, wearing no clothes, fucking, cheating, etc," without being “crucified.” Music critics have drawn the ire of Del Rey, especially in the past two years.
LDR’s next album will be called Rock Candy Sweet.Īs much as Del Rey loves California, love, and Americana, she has a bone to pick with music media.
