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.

“Don’t mix narrow politics into music,” said Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin in support of TM Krishna’s Sangita Kalanidhi award.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has endorsed Carnatic vocalist TM Krishna amid protests by several artists against his Sangitha Kalanidhi award.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin congratulated Carnatic vocalist TM Krishna for being selected for the Sangitha Kalanidhi award by The Music Academy, despite protests from several artists who oppose the award. Stalin expressed his appreciation for Krishna’s achievement.
Stalin criticized Krishna for his progressive political views and advocacy for the common man. He criticized Periyar for his fight for human equality and women’s equal rights for three-quarters of a century. Stalin argued that it is unfair to criticize Krishna for his progressive stances and not to unnecessarily lash out at Periyar, who fought for human equality and peace.
The Music Academy management deserves appreciation for recognizing TM Krishna’s contributions to the music industry. Krishna’s talent is undeniable, and he emphasized the need for a broad human vision and the ability to avoid hatred and embrace fellow human beings, rather than mixing narrow politics with religious beliefs.
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader Kanimozhi defended the recognition of carnatic vocalist @tmkrishna as Sangita Kalanidhi by the Music Academy, stating that the hate he is receiving for his social beliefs or his engagement with Periyar is uncalled for.
Several musicians have boycotted Madras Music Academy’s December conference, citing Krishna’s Sangita Kalanidhi award for glorifying Periyar and vilifying the Carnatic music community.
Artists are upset with Chennai-based Madras Music Academy’s decision to bestow Oscar-equivalent honor on 48-year-old vocalist Krishna, who will preside over the 98th annual conference and concerts in December.
Indian classical duo Ranjani and Gayatri have criticized their participation in this year’s conference under TM Krishna’s presidency as a “moral violation.”
The Trichur Brothers, Srikrishna and Ramkumar Mohan, have expressed concerns about their participation in the Academy’s year-end festival conference, claiming it would make them “outright hypocrites.”
Krishna, an economics graduate, was a musical prodigy who began learning music from Bhagavathula Seetharama Sharma, followed by Carnatic vocalist Chingleput Ranganathan and Semmangudi Srinivas.
Krishna, the grandnephew of former Indian finance minister TT Krishnamachari, is a founder of the Madras Music Academy.
