She features on a new song by Smiler, singing 'Big Spender' by Shirley Bassey. I think Lana sounds really good on this track, maybe she could go for a more big band inspired sound on her next album.

What does everyone else think ?

This was recorded back in 2010 before she obviously hit the big time.
Anyway, it is fine for what it is but Lana isn't a belter type of singer. I would love to see her do a smooth jazzy-cabaret style of album in the style of Million Dollar Man. That kind of sound really shows off her gorgeous tone.

Was damn fine until that bloody rapper spoiled it. Keep the hip hop stuff bubbling away in the background like on the album, Lana, would be my advice. But yet another newly discovered 'old' track to add to the growing list!
