Singer Lana Del Rey didn't mince words on Twitter when she roasted NPR music critic Ann Powers' review of her latest album, 'Norman F— Rockwell.'
Del Rey did not mince words on Twitter Wednesday night when she replied to Powers’ post sharing her provocative article, which called Del Rey’s lyrics “uncooked” in comparison to those of artists such as Joni Mitchell and analyzed Del Rey’s reliance on a “persona as a bad girl to whom bad things are done.”
“Here’s a little sidenote on your piece,” the “Venice Bitch” singer wrote. “I don’t even relate to one observation you made about the music. There’s nothing uncooked about me. To write about me is nothing like it is to be with me. Never had a persona. Never needed one. Never will.”Here’s a little sidenote on your piece – I don’t even relate to one observation you made about the music. There’s nothing uncooked about me. To write about me is nothing like it is to be with me. Never had a persona.

Review: Lana Del Rey's Norman Fucking RockwellLana Del Rey built her career on a collection of scattered, kitschy Americana imagery, cooing in Marilyn Monroe pastiche about blue jeans and Pepsi Cola. It earned her an unworthy reputation as a character (and the bizarre fascination with her fake name and fudged backstory didn’t help either), just a shallow curator of vintage sounds and feelings. But she used her references, clinging to biker boys on the open road, interpolating the chorus of “He Hit Me and It Felt Like a Kiss,” sharply as a songwriter, recognizing the darkness of American pop culture. With every album, the white picket fence bordering her oeuvre got more and more battered. By the time she explicitly asked, “Is it the end of an era? Is it the end of America?” on Lust for Life’s “When the World Was At War We Kept Dancing,” she’d been asking the same in her music, in different ways, for her entire career.
