She may well be the latest hipster love-her-or-hate-her internet phenomenon, but Lana Del Rey sure knows her way around a tune, and if her first two single’s (‘Born to Die’ and ‘Video Games’) are anything to go by, her debut full-length record (released today), should be toward the top of many end-of-year lists in 11 months time.
She’s been the victim of much on-line vitriol, from issues such as her voice, her lips, her past, the marketing work by her major-label, and her partners (of course); and all of this before her album has even dropped. That’s how fast our media moves these days. Perhaps her follow-up record won’t stand a chance…
This album, though, will be massive – regardless of all of these distractions. I for one say screw the haterz, and check out this record.
