“But I guess unless you are a reader of The Word magazine, you would not be aware of a lot of the back story of Lana Del Rey, and more importantly why right now there is a PR campaign led by the UK entertainment media giant Global, who control most of the major commercial radio stations; as well as a growing number of music acts (The Wanted, Cover Drive, etc) whom immediately get added to those stations playlists; which is part of the Lagardère SCA global business media conglomeration which also contains the Hearst Magazines UK umbrella which owns several magazines and very popular internet sites such as ELLE, Cosmopolitan, Men’s Health, Esquire, Good Housekeeping and D******S**.
As Lana's father (as a website domain businessmen) has allegedly had business altercations with one of the owners of this media franchise bloc that makes Simon Cowell look like a rank amateur; and with Richard Park (former BBC1s Fame Academy head judge) as Group Executive Director and Director of Broadcasting of said music stations (Heart, Capital, Gold, Choice, Classic, LBC, XFM) whom famously got on with FA1 winner David Sneddon in a manner that made Steve Brookstein and Simon Cowell look like best friends), then Lana Del Rey was always going to be a marmite cause, as certain music industry people are more willing for her to succeed or fail than any other music act in 2012.”
