lana del rey

with a sultry, affecting voice, the new york-born singer has taken the musical world by storm with the stunning, if somewhat ubiquitous single ‘video games’.

‘born to die’ extinguishes any doubts that she is a one hit wonder as it clearly demonstrates that lana is more than capable of expanding her dramatic brand of pop music across a whole album. “a sonic world that harks back to bristol in the early 90’s, all sighing strings & slow burning beats… tune out the background media noise & immerse yourself.” 4/5 – mojo. “positively brimming with atmospherics - soaring, sonorous strings, echoing electronic boom-bap, morose, maudlin guitar crescendos.” – mtv.
