My sister said it right when she texted me, “Lana. Del. Rey.”
There was no explanation needed. This was an artist on the rise I hadn’t just heard about but was urged to check out myself.
Who is Lana Del Rey?
Lana Del Rey is actually Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, a 26-year old American singer-songwriter who will make you want to grab your flyest kicks, whip out those Ray Bans and cruise around Brooklyn with the (LCD?) sound system blasted.
Origin: NYC
Genre: Awesome.
Recommendations
EPs: Paradise (2012)
CDs: Born To Die (2012)
Favorite tracks: American, Bel Air (on Paradise); Off to the Races, This Is What Makes Us Girls (on Born to Die); Live or Die; Serial Killer
No matter your alternative/indie preference, Lana Del Rey doesn’t disappoint. Just be open to some funky lyrics and catchy/synthetic loops and you’ll see what I mean.
