Ellie Goulding bemoans the gender pay gap in the music industry, saying, “We still have to sexualize ourselves”

Ellie Goulding, a British singer-songwriter, claims that women still don’t have it easy in the music industry. She believes that women need to work more than men to establish themselves and gain attention.

“Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ve reached equality when it comes to the music business. It has improved unquestionably since the MeToo movement, which was crucial, Goulding says.

I have observed changes, the Grammy-nominated vocalist continued. Record companies now seem to be lot more concerned about my wellbeing. They are lot more understanding when I am having mental health issues. Additionally, I believe that younger female artists are receiving far more support than I had at the time.

The artistic wheel remains stuck to a lens that continues to sexualize women, despite the fact that the business game may be changing.

There is a perception that women must exert themselves a little more than men do in order to make an influence. Regardless of how fantastic your songs are, if you’re not in the small fraction of performers—like Beyonce—who have astronomical success, you must feel as like you must still sexualize yourself. The 35-year-old explains, “You still have to be flirty, and there are all these things you wish you didn’t have to do.

There have been improvements, but there are still things that women “have to do that men don’t in the music industry to prove themselves as musicians, singers, and artists,” according to Goulding, who has hit songs like Love Me Like You Do, Lights, Starry Eyes, and Anything Could Happen to her credit.

“For instance, if you look at the festival lineups, there is still a significant male dominance. The singer, who recently released a song called Easy Lover that also includes rapper Big Sean, believes that we simply need to keep talking about, being honest about, and pushing it.

Post Kanguva debacle, Tamil Nadu producers demand ban of YouTube channels from theatres

This decision comes after the release of Kanguva on November 14, which saw a lot of negative feedback on the opening day from YouTube reviews.

On Wednesday, the Tamil Nadu Producers Council (TNPC) issued a strong statement requesting theatre owners to ban fans’ interviews by YouTube channels on theatre premises post the first day first shows (FDFS) and cooperate in doing away with this FDFS public review and opinion process completely.

In a long four-page letter, the Tamil Nadu Producers Council has condemned ‘personal attacks and incitement of hatred in the name of film reviews.’ They said that films like Indian 2, Vettaiyan and Kanguva were highly impacted due to YouTube FDFS public reviews.

What the letter stated

This letter comes after the release of Suriya’s film Kanguva on November 14 which saw a tremendous amount of negative feedback from the audience in the first day first show YouTube reviews and opinion videos. The TNPC wrote that journalists have the right to criticise flaws in the film and talk about the positives and negatives but no one can engage in personal attacks and try to destroy the entire film in their reviews. According to them, this would lead to the downfall of the film industry itself.

The letter also stated, “Critics have every right to review movies. But we request all journalists to write film reviews keeping in mind that hatred towards a film should not be sown in the media because of personal malice. It is imperative that all the associations related to the film industry unite and stop this practice by not encouraging them anymore.”

More details

Kerala was the first state to establish this ban on YouTube reviews. In 2023, Mubeen Rauf, director of Aromalinte Adyathe Pranayam, who was supported by the Producers’ Association filed a case in court to ban YouTube reviewers from theatre premises as their negative public opinion videos were affecting the film business.

The Kerala High Court then issued a directive to the concerned authorities to prevent online reviews of films by social media influencers, YouTube reviewers, and bloggers for seven days following the release of a film.

The court went a step further and even issued notice to the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Central Board of Film Certification to establish clear and transparent guidelines for online film critics and vloggers. Producers felt this move would protect the industry.
