It’s basicly a pretty simple result – if you’ve already fallen in love with the twelve songs from Born To Die it is very likely that the new material sticks up to your expectations. The Paradise Edition contains eight songs of her own and a cover version of Blue Velvet from THE CLOVERS, which got covered a few times by several artists, most notably BOBBY VINTON and TONY BENNETT. At the 12th of November The Paradise Edition will be available almost everywhere featuring new material that continues the already known musical direction. Lines like “My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola” may be offensive and just another reason why her person divides the audience.Īfter the success of Born To Die – it hit the top of charts in almost every country – she decided to re-release it with nine extra songs as Born To Die: The Paradise Edition. It is like you get encased by some kind of DEL REY-haze.Īll of these songs are written by herself and reflect the phases of life that she has been trough or is going through recently. If you like her voice it is more than a pleasure to listen to it in her songs. We personally think that this range that gets revealed in each of her songs is what makes her very unique. Same goes for the whole presentation of her. Unfortunately, these extremes divide the people who are experiencing her – either you’ll love or you’ll hate it. Her tone color reaches from high and bright tones to the very low ones. Her ‘version’ of pop music is interesting anyway and differs from usual mainstream acts.ĭEL REY has a wide vocal range. Del Rey herself labels her music as “Hollywood pop” and “sadcore”. Her music is mainly influenced by the pop culture from the 50s and 60s of America. Furthermore she tells us about having fun and living every moment of life to its fullest. Some of LANA DEL REY’s songs are about the good sides of love – love that kind of consumes you. Although there are a lot of sad topics, she covers the happy ones as well. And god only knows how much of it is actually Elizabeth Grant and what part belongs to the whole concept of DEL REY. She isn’t afraid of pointing out and saying out loud the obvious. At this point, we want to emphasize that we don’t think she is a depressive wreck, in contrary: we think that she is gorgeous. Issues that everyone of us knows and somehow experienced. She sings about love and life, but mainly about the bad sides of these aspects – lovelorn, being addicted to drugs, sorrow, pain and loss. It reveals the deepest feelings inside you, because it is fricking sincere and downright. These aspects are revealed a lot in her music.ĭEL REY’s music sounds largely melancholic and yet more than beautiful. Before DEL REY began with music she was an alcohol addict at the age of fourteen, was sent to an boarding school to deal with it and returned at the age of eighteen and began to study metaphysics.
All these pseudonyms show that she kind of struggled with finding herself. Under her several stage names she performed in clubs around New York City before she was discovered and signed by Stranger Records in 2011. Another album, Sirens, was recorded between 20 and leaked in May 2012 with her referring to as MAY JAILER. In 2010 she released the independent album Lana Del Ray a.k.a Lizzy Grant under her real name. LANA DEL REY – Born To Die: The Paradise EditionĪctually, her name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant and LANA DEL REY is only one of her few alias.
