So the Lana Del Rey album Born to Die is one of my favourites of 2012. I know she can't cut it live but I like the gal what can I say. It sure beats MDNA hands down for me. She has just unleashed the video for NATIONAL ANTHEM which is one of my faves from the album. She looks like Priscilla Presley (rather than Jackie O) in the video sponsored by Instagram featuring an inter-racial romance. Lets be honest though, its no Like a Prayer in the controversy stakes!
I´ve had her album on repeat since March. It´s cohesive in a way that pop records rarely are nowadays in the age of digital downloads and buying songs individually off an album.
ReplyDeleteI find that in Born to Die the musical style, lyrics, and themes are so consistent that the album feels like it was conceived in the 90s, when people listened to albums all the way through. It really feels like something from another era, that looks forward and reaches back at the same time. Glad to hear it is one of your favorites, too.
