Artist: lizzy grant

Over the course of this past year, we've upped the impetus placed upon live happenings and more significantly on those situated in and around London: nights on end spent out and about have become increasingly exhausting, as we strive to conjure an increasingly exhaustive coverage. Consequently we can only hope these are wearying steps in the right direction as, at least from a subjective perspective, witnessing your revered artists recite their most estimable pieces – in full as did some of the below, or otherwise – is a substantial chunk of what it's all about. Here we've more or less [...]

• Lana Del Rey - Blue Jeans (RAC Mix)

Lana Del Rey had our summer, just as you suspect she's had more brawny James Dean-alikes than she and her scrupulous marketing brigade are willing to lyrically insinuate. Heck; maybe she's at they that merchandise her quite so superbly too. Who can tell. Similarly, quite what she's up to remains a mystery; a great enigma. Arguably, Del Rey is the quintessential 2k12 "sociopath": her personality dismembered and recollected perennially so as to faintly resemble an organised disorder before it be rechiselled once more, heck knows what she's up to. Who is she? What does [...]

Every day is Independence Day for Lana Del Rey in her idealized ode to true love and the good life.

Odd sights, smells and above all sounds are encompassed by both Barcelona and the Sónar experience, but a persistently pesky vagrant getting brained with an aluminium chair on La Rambla by an irked camarero in mindless aggro redolent of WWE bravado ranks right up there among the more bizarre vistas of this particular vez . That comparably persistent whiff of overflowing sewer too this time seemed ever more all-pervasive. However infinitely more sensorially disorientating is the temporal inversion that occurs at every single Sónar: for although day must, by astrological edict, follow night conventional mornings are rarely [...]

Il nostro fedele lettore Marco (che ringraziamo!) ci gira questa segnalazione interessante che è stata ripresa diverse volte dal web. Non è un mistero che la cantante abbia inciso un album con un'etichetta indipendente nel 2008 dal titolo "Lana Del Ray A.K.A. Lizzy Grant" e che questo tornò ad essere disponibile su iTunes due anni dopo, nel 2010. Ma, a quanto pare, c'è un'altro alter ego nel passato dellla cantante, dal nome di May Jailer. Sono infatti uscite, prima via Tumblr e poi riprese da Stereogum, alcune tracce audio e la copertina di un album che sembra tanto [...]

Se havia alguma dúvida sobre Lana Del Rey ter um quê de Fernando Pessoa, acho que a resposta acaba de ser confirmada agora. Como o escritor, Lana gosta de brincar de pseudônimos, e May Jailer é o mais recente achado nome fictício de Elizabeth Grant. Não se sabe ao certo em que período do espaço tempo Del Rey viveu como May e ainda gravou um álbum nomeado como Sirens , que vazou pela web há pouco. Fato é que a cantora parece bem mais jovem pela foto e as influências desse [...]

Filed under: News , New Music YouTube Lana Del Rey was making music as Lizzy Grant long before she assumed her current stage pseudonym. Now, several sites are reporting that Rey had yet another nom de plume -- May Jailer. We have no idea if this is true, but one internet fan named Danndy Garbagé has gone to great lengths to upload an entire catalog of May Jailer [...]

It seems long before Lana Del Rey  was serving as a  handbag muse , the  Born To Die  artist was designing her own line of shoes. Thank goodness this 2009 Keds Collection ad starts, "I'm Lana Del Rey, and I'm a singer", because the lips, the hair, and the California girl-vibe much more resembles singer's former self, Lizzy Grant . Watch the Gangsta Nancy Sinatra as she skips along a boardwalk, eats cotton candy, and shows off her bling on her perfectly manicured nails while riding a ferris wheel — all while [...]

They say that no press is bad press and they say that sex sells. These old adages prove true when it comes to the most divisive pop artists of recent memory. Lana Del Rey has generated enormous controversy from the fact that she got a makeover after her first attempt at a music career as Lizzy Grant. It’s possible that she seems to have sold herself as this Barbie doll or Jessica Rabbit character (seriously, Google Image Jessica Rabbit then LDR…that shit cray) that exists only as a sex symbol and nothing more, and more so that this image is [...]

Now that Lana Del Rey has sold 'mad albums', we begin trying to figure out 'who are her fans'? It seems like she will have to form an official name for her tribe, similar to Lady Gaga 's monsters. Do u have a name for her fans? So far the best thing I can think of is "Lana Del R8trz." At a recent in in-store signing at one of the last authentic record stores in America that hasn't closed yet, Amoeba Records, Lana Del Rey 's fans WENT CRAZY for her. It seems like [...]

Lana Del Rey is blowing up faster than a balloon in volatile conditions. So much so that her abandoned first album is getting a release album. Yes, that's her pre-fillers. The pictures are a little less flattering than her new carefully-constructed look. This little album is getting a release date sometime this year following Born To Die , which just came out. She said: “People act like it’s so shrouded in mystery, the ‘forgotten terrible album’. But if you look on YouTube, all thirteen tracks are available with millions of views, so it’s not like no-one’s heard them. We were all [...]

While we're all aware of her previous as Lizzy Grant; of father Robert's rep as a millionaire wheeler dealer hellbent on 'lil Lizzy/ Lana's musical success and subsequent ubiquity; of one of the better 'pop' releases of 2011 in Video Games there is, as with any enigma wrapped up in impenetrable blankets of industry dollar, mystery to all this madness. For once however, on the day of the release of Lana Del Rey's long-awaited debut long-player, let's insist on its musical worth in place of Hipster Runoff sideshows and the dissension engendered by whether or not her "fruit [...]

Lana Del Rey's first album — released under her real name Lizzy Grant — was available on iTunes for only two months before it was mysteriously yoinked from existence. Though it's easy to assume Del Rey (and perhaps Interscope) wanted to distance herself from her Lizzy Grant past, it appears that's not the case. “I’m re-releasing it, maybe in late summer," the "Million Dollar Man" singer revealed to BBC. The album, Lana Del Ray A.K.A. Lizzy Grant , cost only $10,000 to create, and featured production duties from [...]

Filed under: News , New Music Andy Sheppard, Redferns This hour in Lana Del Rey news: The singer, who everyone who cares too much about music seems to have an opinion about, is going to re-release her debut album, 2010's 'Lana Del Ray A.K.A. Lizzy Grant,' this summer. Del Rey/Grant broke the news in an interview with the BBC, saying, "I had signed to an independent label but they couldn't fund [...]

Lizzy Grant intends to re-release her pre- Lana Del Rey debut album later this year. Originally released in 2010 under the singer's real name, the album has since disappeared from online retailers and record stores. Speaking with BBC News , Grant said the album was pulled from retailers because "I had signed to an independent label but they couldn't fund the release of it." According to BBC, Grant has bought back the rights to the record, and she may re-release it in "late summer." "People act like it's so shrouded in mystery, the 'forgotten terrible [...]

Before Elizabeth Grant created her now infamous Lana Del Rey stage name she was simply known as Lizzy Grant, and in 2010 Lizzy Grant released her debut album. Now with Born To Die due out next Monday (30 January) the 'Video Games' singer has revealed she bought back the rights to her original debut Lana Del Ray A.K.A. Lizzy Grant  and will be re-releasing it, perhaps as early as this summer. Speaking to the BBC she said: "People act like it's so shrouded in mystery, the 'forgotten terrible album'.But if [...]

On Monday Lana Del Rey releases her debut album Born To Die ( review here ) but in an interview with BBC Newsbeat she revealed that her original album, under her actual name 'Lizzy Grant', will be getting a reissue at some point this year. "People act like it's so shrouded in mystery, the 'forgotten terrible album, but if you look on YouTube, all 13 tracks are available with millions of views, so it's not like no-one's heard them. We were all proud of it. It's pretty good. I'm re-releasing it, maybe in [...]

Lizzy Grant moniker making a return.
