Upcoming star Lana Del Rey has said more attention would be paid to her music if she was a man.
Since the viral popularity of her track ‘Video Games‘, much has been written about the New Yorker’s appearance, something which Del Rey has told Wonderland can affect her depending on the mood she is in.
“My mood changes about it depending on the day,” she said. “In general, you don’t want anyone to say anything bad about you. I think when anything gets popular quickly there is always skepticism, but I don’t think that’s grounds for being rude or cruel.”
“I’m sure it wouldn’t have happened if I were a man. What other people think of me is none of my business, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt my feelings.”
While on here growth as a songwriter she commented:
“I was always writing little songs, but nothing I liked then. When I left school I wanted to do music because I thought I was good at it and I wanted to do something that I loved.
“So my uncle taught me to play guitar and I did these little shows, just me and my guitar, singing and playing the five chords that I knew.”
‘Video Games’ hit the top 10 in the UK last month.
