I heard that you like the bad girls honey, is that true?

Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words
This is the last time
Cause you and I, we were born to die

She has been described my a certain over-confident american celebrity as a "12 year old girl practicing singing nursery rhymes in her bedroom", she has been scrutinized, complimented and her career talked of by every pessimist and optimist in the music world. Yet it is safe to say that her luscious locks, rose stained lips and sultry  voice have secured her stardom. Lana Del Ray is a bona fide icon of the 10's. In an interview with Lana she says that interviewing, performing and making music videos has really opened up her eyes to how people view her right off the back of one decision she makes. She says that stage character "Lana" and the real "Lizzy" are very much the same person, and that the "sonic and visual world "she created for Lana was like an art project for her. She says her music doesn't feel like work because making time for herself is making time for her music. I love this vision she has and the calm and collected way she presents it to us.

Keep making me laugh, let's go get high

I like her confidence as a performer, the oddness behind her eyes as she sits in the throne in music video "Born to Die" and the way she holds such an intense note for so long. There is no Christina Aguilera wavering voice that makes you shiver to your core, this young artist can sing and sing well. While we're mentioning Born To Die, I'll get the very girly giddiness out of the way first... HOW UNBELIEVABLY HOT IS THAT GUY IN THE VIDEO? 

Ok so gathering my thoughts and moving on. Miss Elizabeth Woolridge Grant is an American singer/songwriter, if you hadn't guessed already with her american flag sweatshirts and stars&stripes backgrounds. She talks of her album and says that her reoccurring obsessions and themes are honoring love even when its lost and staying strong in the midst of true love lost. She goes on to say her music should inspire people to stay hopeful and soft when things get difficult and hard for everyone as they do. I do like that comments like this are so full of depth and meaning, but I also like that she hasn't got wrapped up in the feelings behind the song too much. Whether she's performing or interviewing she stays very cool, I really look forward to seeing her do well in the future and hope all the pretentious negative press won't stop her successes!

Below I've posted "Born To Die", "Video Games" "Elvis". Enjoy the beautiful Nancy Sinatra of our time x
