That Lana Del Ray is like some kind of narcotic. I’ve deleted “Blue Jeans” and “Videogames” from my itunes twice, in a fit of feminist rage. Not sure if you know the back story on her as “Lizzie Grant”. Look it up – interesting stuff. Anyway, the songs are addictive regardless. She still infuriates me though.
Her aesthetic was still there in the Lizzie days… She just got a way better producer and some crazy shit injected into her lips. I think she’s a great example of how you can have a very distinct vibe across video/audio/photo/appearance in this internet age. Something just clicked all together… Something that SO MANY female artists try and do and usually fail. If there was a male version of her I would probably hate him.
