LANA DEL REY | BORN TO DIE
Love or hate her largely ridiculed performance on Saturday Night Live, Lana Del Rey (the musical persona of NYC’s Lizzy Grant), is pop’s current It Girl. Released just last week, her debut solo album Born to Die took the top spot on iTunes and the UK charts and is on track to be the fastest selling album of 2012. From slow burners with lush orchestration to faster paced pop numbers with mesmerizing melodies, the twelve highly polished tracks hit the right note – even when Del Rey doesn’t. Top tracks include “Video Games”, “Diet Mountain Dew”, and “Radio.” – Written by SMarx
