Lana Del Rey - Born to Die

Sometimes stars emerge. Sometimes stars are thrust upon us. And sometimes stars simply slip into the atmosphere as if propelled by something otherworldly. It is into this last category that the astonishing presence, voice, look and feel of Lana del Rey falls. Musical stardom is not an option with Ms. Del Rey. It is her vocation. She calls herself the gangsta Nancy Sinatra and defines her genre as Hollywood pop/ sadcore, a dramatic new loop for pop music. Lana del Rey proudly presents the highly anticipated born to die, featuring the hit singles "video games" and "blue jeans".

Highly anticipated 2012 debut album from the New York-based singer, songwriter and performer. She has described herself as a "gangsta Nancy Sinatra" and cites Britney Spears, Thomas Newman and Bruce Springsteen as her musical influences. Lana Del Rey's direct influences were visual as well as musical; David Lynch, soundtracks for `50s black and white movies, the whirring sound of the Ferris at Coney Island, fame itself. She lived in a New Jersey trailer park and decked her homestead in flags, streamers and seasonally inappropriate Christmas lights. Like these things she loves, the album sparkles with color and vitality.
