Maybe she thought Marilyn Manson was a rapper via the Tainted Love video.

Isn't this 90% of them these days? Every time I look at a news site, or Twitter, there's a story about some pop star's desperate agony over something or other.

She seems well-suited for a 1970s kind of fame, where success and adulation reinforce her self-regard and enhance the side of her lyrics that tend to grandiosity, and provide a view of the world that's interestingly bent by removal from regular society / ludicrous levels of self belief. A Barbra Streisand type of white-dwarf-dense, but harmless, narcissism.
Having to interact with people who understand how - regardless of whether it's interesting as poetry or a psychological sketch of a built persona - her worldview is facile & limited is something she's not suited for. Also, having to interact with live humans at all during a pandemic.

i do feel optimistic about the new album being her shortest since her last few albums have all been too long for their own good

Update, January 11, 6 p.m.: Lana Del Rey is now defending her defense of her new album cover Speaking to BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac for the premiere of the title track, she addressed alleged criticisms of the cover photo regarding inclusivity. “My girlfriends come from all over the world, they have children from all different types of people,” she explained. “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.” Del Rey further claimed that “actually half the people in this photo are people of color.” She also said the so-called controversy — which seems to have been started and fanned only by her— made her think “back to all my songs and videos and starting with more of a hip-hop sound.” She went on, “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 color. It’s a black-and-white image, so zoom in, you know. It’s just weird, you know?” Do we, Lana?Elsewhere in her conversation with Mac, Del Rey spoke about the pandemic (“I always wondered, with 8 billion people in the world, [why] this did not happen sooner”) and the riot at the Capitol (“Watching the people storm the Capitol, everyone gets to go look at that and figure out what Capitols they’ve been storming this year in their own freakin’ lives”).

The new song is nice but doesn't feel like a single. More like an album opener.

"Waa "Summertime" done as some kind of companion piece to her "Doin' Time" cover?"
no it was for some tribute album I believe. It was pointless.
I love LDR's music, and at times I"ve been really impressed with how she's spoken about working as a woman in the music industry. But she is really, really defensive these days. If the cover was getting flack I never even saw the flack. Personally I think it's a lame cover but if people were complaining there weren't enough POC in it, or the POC there were tokens, I can see her getting frustrated. It's her friends. Are they all unusually attractive? yeah, well, it's LA, surprise, there are a lot of unusually attractive people there. I don't think she helps herself by getting defensive about everything, she gets incoherent.
song itself is fine.
