After the hype, gossip, and sensationalist 4-real authenticity debate that greeted Lizzy Grant aka Lana Del Rey as she emerged into the spotlight, this collection of sumptuous and rich songs received a critical slapping in the U.S. “It’s the album of a faked orgasm– a collection of torch songs with no fire,” said Pitchfork. “Given her chic image, it’s a surprise how dull, dreary and pop-starved Born to Die is,” said Rolling Stone. Yet Born [...]
Por Juan Pablo Lima El arte fue, es y será un tema de eterno debate. Aquellos elementos que nos permiten delimitar a un artista verdadero y establecer distancias con respecto a un fraude o un invento del marketing son muy difusos, a veces contradictorios, y enumerarlos no aportan demasiada luz al respecto. ¿Hasta qué punto un músico es más “honesto” que otro si su obra apenas logra tener repercusión? ¿Acaso la aceptación popular o el éxito comercial son sinónimos de virtud? ¿Una excelente estrategia de marketing es motivo suficiente para desestimar la obra de un artista?

Born to Die Lana Del Rey After grabbing the attention of the music industry with tracks like Video Games and Born to Die , Lana Del Rey’s (real name Elizabeth Grant) debut album was one of the most anticipated of the year – and it’s only February! Born to Die features a unique blend of 60’s pop, old Hollywood Glamour and urban beats that Del Rey herself describes as “Gangster Nancy Sinatra.” While “Video Games” may have launched Lana Del Rey into mainstream media, “ Born to Die” [...]
Here's the data on how much I know about Lana Del Rey: she had a bad performance on Saturday Night Live (or so I've read) and the critics seem to hate her. Sure ... critics, they hate everything don't they? It's not just critics though, because I read a few articles on her night at SNL and the reader commentary [...]
The Internet-famous chanteuse releases her highly-anticipated debut album. Does it live up to the hype? For a moment, let's forget about Lizzy Grant, the privileged girl who grew up in New York City and may or may not have had a music career handed to her. She's probably fascinating, but she doesn't concern us, and enough time has been wasted talking about her and all the various implications raised when she decided to dive headlong into the deep end of the pop music pool. This review is about Lana Del...
Una chica neoyorquina guapisima a primera vista, una cara inocente que a cualquiera puede encantarle, con una popularidad a ratos difícil de creer y una expectación por un disco que ya debía salir a la luz. ¿Su nombre? Elizabeth Grant. El 31 de Enero pasado, Lana del Rey presentó su primer material oficial bautizado con [...]
Out now, Lana Del Rey’s debut album ‘Born to Die’ has received critical acclaim, with Q calling it ‘darkly compelling’, and the BBC naming it as ‘intelligent, ambitious and brilliantly realized.’ Just a short five months since Lana Del Rey’s DIY video for Video Games was catapulted into the spotlight by bloggers across the world, amassing a phenomenal 21 million views, Lana’s debut album has been one of the most anticipated of our time and has hit the number 1 spot on the iTunes chart in fifteen countries, including UK, Germany, [...]
Remember when Merge Records was synonymous with genre-defining indie rock and had a whole roster of bands whose albums you couldn't wait to get your hands on? Well, guess what? They still are, and do! The venerable Durham, North Carolina, label proves they're still up to their game with two releases this week in heavy rotation at KEXP. Bay Area veterans Imperial Teen return with their fifth album overall and their third on Merge, Feel the Sound , which, according to our Music Director, Don Yates, "continues to refine and expand upon their infectious blend of power-pop, [...]
Dia 30 de Janeiro. Data muito aguardada em todo o mundo. Nascimento do último produto de marketing musical Born to Die , o tão ansiado álbum de Lana del Rey , estrela cadente que em poucos meses saiu da obscuridade para se tornar na nova pin-up da música pop actual. Recuando um pouco no tempo. Filha de um investidor abastado, menina de colégio interno depois de alguns problemas de álcool e drogas, Elizabeth Grant, chegou a Nova Iorque aos 18 anos onde começou a cantar em bares sob o nome de Lizzy [...]
Lana Del Rey just might end up having one of the shortest career arcs in recent memory. Everyone loved her just a few months ago, but then she bombed on Saturday Night Live and everyone seems to hate Born to Die (the title of which seems to sum up Lana's career). All good things must pass. I just didn't know it would pass quite so quickly. Below is the title track from "Born to Die," which really is a pretty awesome song. Let's remember Lana like this! With hooky choruses, dead-eyed melancholy [...]

What can I say about Elizabeth Grant, aka Lana Del Rey, that hasn't already been said... (either by Lana, herself, Brian Williams, Juliette Lewis, Hipster Runoff, Pitchfork, etc. etc)? Her trek to becoming a hipster's wet dream/worst nightmare has been well documented over the past year or so, and that makes writing this piece incredibly difficult, mainly for the following reasons: Number One: You've probably already heard of Lana Del Rey, and have therefore, also probably made a judgement about her already. You either can not get enough of her, and will [...]
It's 2012! A massively belated happy new year and all that, how's the family, how was Christmas etc. Basic courtesy out the way, let's welcome back Singles of the Week, where every Monday I'm going to give my honest and poorly informed opinions on the cream of the latest singles crop. This week we can open the big, tired, Lana Del Rey debate, as 'Born To Die' precedes her new album by a week. There are also tracks from Whales In Cubicles and My Tiny Robots, as we slowly work ourselves out of the godforsaken month that is January. [...]
Lana Del Rey has confirmed upcoming performances on David Letterman February 2 and on Ellen later in February (airdate TBC) following the release of her highly anticipated debut LP 'Born To Die' (January 31, 2012 on Interscope Records). Lana makes her U.S. TV debut on Saturday Night Live January 14. 'Born To Die' is now available for pre-order on iTunes and Amazon. The deluxe digital edition on iTunes features bonus tracks "Without You," "Lolita," and "Lucky Ones." Joy [...]
After years performing in clubs in New York City for crowds of ten or less, Lana Del Rey is finally receiving the exposure she deserves. Indeed, she is slated to perform this Saturday on SNL . The sixties-inspired vocal siren is scheduled to drop her major label debut later this month. And one of my favorite singles from the forthcoming album is 'Born to Die.' You can watch the official video to 'Born to Die' below:
Lana Del Rey's huge hit, 'Born To Die', gets a remix treatment from Guxxi. That's actually Gucci Vump and most of you probably know Gucci Vump equals Brodinski and Guillaume Brière from The Shoes. Lana Del Rey - Born To Die (Guxxi Remix) In case some of you still haven't watched it (I wonder how did this happen?) or just want to replay Lana's video directed by Yoann Lemoine a.k.a Woodkid, go here:

Since Lana Del Rey is so eager to release her new album, one track at a time, we decided to put up the tracks as they're released so that you can stream them in all their baby-voiced goodness. Note: we did not put up the stream of "National Anthem" -- we are aware that it leaked yesterday . Read more » http://rpc.blogcatalog.com/ http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ ping
Απόλαυσέ το ως το αιματηρό του τέλος. Όλα τα στερεότυπα του κόσμου σε ένα video. Από τον τίτλο του τραγουδιού μέχρι το σκηνικό και το μακιγιάζ. Δεν τη πάω τη μακρύνυχη κρυπτο κάντρυ τύπισσα με τίποτα! Filed under: worst video Tagged: Kitsch , lana del rey , music , video
