Lana-Del-Rey-Delicious

Aw sweet jeezus she's done it again. I. Think. My. Heads. Just. Exploded!

She's must have got a whole albums worth of these hippy-hop-urban tunes, they're all rather darned super good, all unreleased. Add that to the already huge stockpile of unreleased totally awesome demo's of more typical Del Rey style tunes, acoustic tracks, May Jailer and Lizzy Grant Albums, etc, etc. She must have at least 6 albums worth of unreleased stuff. I want it all-please release it Lana! At least 2 albums every year please!

We love you Lana

It's actually pretty great. Her sound combined with edgier hip hop beats is very interesting. Maybe something to consider for the next album?

A major new talent. I'm just so glad to be such a big/committed fan that I get to seek out/hear all the unreleased gems this woman has written. Amazing body of work (even though the vast majority of people probably think she's only ever recorded the songs on Born To Die!). I know many fans of successful debuting artists worry about album #2 but when you have witnessed the stuff that Lana doesn't feel is good enough to be released (but much of it imo would be on most other artists' albums as a matter of urgency) then album #2 can't come soon enough for me.

I LOVE Lana but I don't think this song is very good tbh!

lol, it's poor. I don't think MIA has anything to worry about.

I wouldn't say it's poor. It is in the style of Lana, take it or leave it, simple as that.

I really like it. She must have loads of unreleased music!

I reckon she must write at least one killer song each and every day, lol. In the same vein:

Go Go Dancer

I thought even Video Games and Born To Die were fairly urban-sounding tbh. I reckon if someone like Alicia Keys sang those songs they'd be played on urban radio.

She'd sell her grandmother if she thought that would be a money spinner. It's just pathetic. Even more so are the naive fools who fall for every trick she pulls out the bag. Now it's fashion modelling. How unpredictable!

This is from the article, she definitively don't care what some inevitably people like you think.(incidentally she was 5 years ago more known for her modelling than her singing)


"Inevitably people will accuse Lana of selling out by modelling for such a mainstream brand, but come on, she had the guts to cover 'Heart-Shaped Box'. Do you think she cares what anyone thinks?"

I think shes amazing myself. Very now and capable of pulling urban or anything music wise off. Good luck to her i say. The girls got style and the voice.

m06een00, you do realise that this track is an UNRELEASED DEMO. Just to spell it out for you nice and slowly: That means its something she put together in the studio, possibly a long time ago and may never get officially released. How you figure this=she'd sell her grandmother if she thought it was a money spinner, is beyond me. She's so far made no money off this track and may never do so. If anything she's let it leak as a treat for fans, which is pretty darned good fan service if you ask me.

If you actually knew what you were on about, you'd also know Lana has leaked one hell of a lot of unreleased tracks over the last year. They are in a wide, wide range of styles, and it is just stunning from a fans point of view seeing how much stuff she has done and the sheer quality of it. I do not exaggerate when I say 6 albums worth.

Many of the leaked tunes are true classics, and the only frustration is we have to wait and see if they will end up on a future album. The tragedy is many of them probably will remain as leaked on the web only.

Your link to the NME article on her modelling is comical as well. A lot of NME readers seem to hate Lana, but even they say on this "Hardly selling out as she never claimed to be above fame and money."

"Cred" NME indie heroes like Pete Docherty have all modelled as well. Nobody slags them off and calls them sell outs.

I think all she's doing is having a bit of fun. In her own words "The fashion world was my saviour really when I was getting torn to shreds by the music press. I felt like retiring and people from that world said don't do that! You're brilliant, come hang out with us. (laughs) I don't know why really, I'm not that fashionable!"

I am an Indie/Rock boy myself, and I f'in love Lana. And you know why that is? Because she has completely p*ssed over everything released over the last year. Nobody has come close to her in quality and quantity of output. It has been an utter joy watching her prove every single one of her haters wrong, confound every criticism and also develop into one of the best live acts I've ever seen. Not bad for a girl they said couldn't sing live. Wanna know a secret? She always could, just stupid internet trolls messed up her confidence, but she came back and slaughtered them. But hey if she made mistakes that only shows she's human, I was beginning to think she was a goddess.

You use the term "naive fools." I would use that term to describe people like yourself who keep popping up with really, really badly thought out, badly researched, ill conceived arguments. What's actually "predictable" is people such as yourself using the same, tired lines, over and over again.

I saw some mad bat Daily Mail reader slate her for being "A woman that purposely puts on a vulnerable look so all you men want to defend her. She knows what she's doing." Ooo you hussy Lana and your vulnerable looks! I wondered why I always jump to her defence (it couldn't be the quality music as well now could it)! Now at least that is an original insult.

Better than the stuck record of: She's a rich girl, she's got lips, she'll do anything to be famous. Yawn.

You know if Lana was really that evil an cynical, don't you think she'd have done some bullplop X-factor style crap album that would have got rotated on radio constantly. Instead of the leftfield one she's actually done that has despite nobody playing it still managed to become the 3rd best selling album in the world?

Oh and if Lana's rich dad funds this then frankly he's a sick b*stard if he enjoys making his daughter sing songs about her past drug abuse, her dead junkie boyfriend, suicidal dreams, the screwed up underworld of New York’s Coney Island and a million and one taboo subjects no one in their right mind would touch if they were aiming to make a best selling album. All done in truth by Lana herself in her wonderfully artistic style of course.

And that's what's brilliant about Born to Die, its one of the rawest albums most artistically successful albums going and its become a best seller in its own merits because people love her voice and people love these songs. They cut through to the soul, and they might be dark, but they make you feel like you've stepped into the light.

Whatever you think of Lana (and I'm not saying you have to like her) the simple fact is she slogged it out for many years before making it. She's put more graft than a lot of people realise, and I think she deserves respect for that.

lol, this thread is comedy gold .

You think this is commedy gold? You should look what's going on in the Jessie J thread in showbiz

I agree 100%. Plus she's different to anything's that's anywhere near the charts these days. As DRAGON LANCE suggests, the songs on Born To Die are not in any way yer average pop ditties (the subject matter is really quite dark) but she's still sold a shed load of stuff. And the huge amount of killer tracks 'out there' that Lana doesn't deem worthy of putting on her album definitely bodes well for her future longevity. A great new talent.

PS It's 366 days since the (legal!) video of Video Games was uploaded onto you tube (how time flies). The original version that attracted all the lawsuits was uploaded a couple of months before, apparently (and is still available to see on Daily Motion).

I assume she's had lip injections that went a bit wrong? I saw a photo of her when she was younger and they looked much thinner.

You haven't??

I'll take that as confirmation, then.

I don't think so. I have seen a picture with her father and he as the same kind of upper lip. Her is a old video of her and she had the same pouty lips

Her lips are fine now imo. They are certainly far less 'pouty' than they were in the Video Games video I linked to earlier. Being male I know nowt about these things but I have read there are products that temporarily pump up lips? Who knows and frankly I don't care. It's her music I'm here for.

PS Nice to know you still have an interest in Lana even though you aren't exactly a fan. It's something I see a lot.

I think she's a good singer, she just writes frequently shallow lyrics. I'm open to enjoying her music if she stops doing that.

You don't have to be a fan to enjoy reading the odd DS thread about her either as they are often entertaining .
