Born to Die – Lana Del ReyView More By Lana Del Rey Our ReviewThis album is Mastered for iTunes. Before Lana Del Rey had officially released a single song, her buzz was massive thanks to an enchanting viral video (“Video Games”) that attracted tens of millions of viewers. Approximately six months later, Del Rey released her debut album, Born to Die, which is filled with torch songs influenced by hip-hop. She wrote and recorded the tracks in a chilling fashion befitting the self-proclaimed “gangster Nancy Sinatra.” The album’s first six songs alone are enough to warrant a spot in modern music collections alongside ADELE, Amy Winehouse, and Erykah Badu. There’s no denying these noir-shaded numbers—many of which are built on orchestral accouterments and subtle vocal samples reminiscent of Kanye West productions. Del Rey’s husky narrative lingers like smoke clouds, leaving wafts of rhythmic phrasings delivered by an icy, heartbroken femme fatale.Customer ReviewsClassier than anything I've ever heard (5 stars)Let me preface this by saying that I would have never been caught dead with this kind of music before I heard Lizzy Grant aka Lana Del Rey. But I just had to hear Video Games once and I have been - this is such a strong word to toss around but it's totally necessary here - ADDICTED. Her voice is an absolute shell-shock and far too real to shake away the goosebumps I get every time I listen to one of her songs. She has risen past the sex appe OUTSTANDING. FRESH. (5 stars) I love this style so much. She's a perfect creative, and brilliant artist. Her music makes me think, she makes me feel relaxed and melancholy. Her melodies run through my head. Highly recommended. Lana Del Rey is doing something right. (5 stars) Sure all of these little indie blogs are criticizing Lana Del Rey's "Born to Die", but Lana delievered. Sure this album will not suite everyone but it's doing something right.
