Lana Del Rey phenomenon - the cause of heated debate both in a musical environment, and in the ranks of the general public. The number of active Hayter - it's almost more telling indicator of success than the number of enthusiastic fans, but also those, and others at the Del Rey grabs. It is possible to love or hate, but can not be denied that Lana Del Rey - the most notable musical phenomenon in recent years. Lana compared simultaneously with all iconic images - from Mona Lisa to Amy Winehouse, and the universal appeal of her strange and annoying at the same time diversity. The combination of incongruous - with a touch of sincerity deceit, romance with a touch of cynicism, depression with notes of vanilla coquetry - even individual facial features do not match each other, transforming it from a living person in the post-modern collage.

Singer, easily combining old-fashioned elegance diva of the Golden Age of Hollywood with alcohol frankness inmates Trailer Park, teasing flirtation with outspoken critics of mass pop culture on the one hand, and the grim suicide sensuality Walt Whitman on the other. Diluting the lyrics banal American teenage symbolism, Lana still does not forget to look over the edge of what the talk is not accepted, but very desirable. Blue jeans, video games, Pepsi-Cola and Diet Mountain Dew combined with languid vocals Lana acquired a double meaning, elusive depravity and special sinister charm. Del Rey's voice captivates and draws into the vortex of deadly passions, causing wonder what other secrets hide the former lead singer of the church choir, suffering teenage alcohol abuse.

«Video games»



The song, which in 2011 brought fame Lizzy Grant, known to us under the name of Lana Del Rey. In just 3 weeks the video mounted from home video shots taken by paparazzi and cuts from cartoons, collected 600,000 views on YouTube. According to Lana, this song is dedicated to her ex-boyfriend: "I think we came together because both were outsiders. It was beautiful".

Classic tattooed bad boy "War inside my head" on his forehead was again screen boyfriend of Lana Del Rey, which has generated a lot of rumors about their relationship. The clip is designed in the aesthetics of film noir, and perfectly illustrates the main idea of ​​the song - Lana loves the bad boys!

«Summertime Sadness»



Heath, who blew up the already hot summer of 2012. Viscous, molten asphalt, the composition of the summer of sadness, from which you can escape only at the speed of 99 miles per hour. Beautiful illusion that if you wear a red dress to make packing, get in the car with his bad baby and accelerate to cruising speed, you can die happy.

«Dark Paradise»



Another musical melodrama about love and death of Lana Del Rey. The release of the single was presented March 1, 2013. Dark Paradise, after which you do not want to go back to real life.

«Born to Die»



The second single, Lana Del Rey, on 30 December 2011. Calm and grim fatalism sensuality song Born to Die with a self-titled album force suddenly acutely feel the transience of life. Give vent to feelings, not thinking about the consequences, kissing in the rain - it's the best thing we can do, knowing that they are born to die, says Lana.

«National Anthem»



Sarcastic hymn dedicated to American national values ​​- money, greed and consumerism. Unlike the other songs from the album «Born to Die», the track is designed in the style close to hip-hop. Lana song itself refers to as "a love story of a new era", although the concept of love is figurative. A typical illustration of the life of the "golden youth": drunk driving, shopogolizm, death from overdose. "Money - is the reason for our existence" - that's the key idea of ​​the song.

«Cola»



Shameless and defiant song from the new album «Born to Die: Paradise Edition» reveals new facets of Lana Del Rey. Frankly cynical references to drugs, relationships with married men, and has already become legendary line «My Pussy tastes like Pepsi-Cola» soon come to some Nicki Minaj. But, thanks to the peculiar Lana phlegmatic, aloof manner of execution, the words of the song, oddly enough, do not sound vulgar and almost innocent. That does not prevent moralists burn with righteous indignation and demand the ban of the composition.

«Young & Beautiful»



Sensational soundtrack to the film adaptation of the novel "The Great Gatsby" was no less discuss than the film itself. Fascinating lyrical composition Lana del Ray, created with the direct participation of the film's director Baz Luhrmann, was the undisputed hit, and permanently settled in the hearts and iPod music lovers around the world. If the Oscar for best musical score this year will not get Del Rey Team "Gatsby" will have reason to be offended by 2 kinoakademikov.
