Too many thoughts.: Artist Spotlight: Lana Del Rey

Well for starters not so surprisingly her real name is not LDR. But instead Elizabeth Woolridge Grant. This 26 year old girl sings songs in a creepy fashion and has a 50's-60's Americana feel. She was born in New York and raised by her investor father. At the age of 15 she was sent to a boarding school in Connecticut. And at 18 she came back to New York and decided to start singing at clubs for fun. At that point she didn't feel like taking music seriously as a career. When at first working in music didn't work out she decided to volunteer with Homeless outreach, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, which she continually helps with. Her first single Video Games had great response which came after October 2011.Not many know but this last January she was signed to the NEXT Model Management. These last few months she has spent her time doing a lot of writing.

She has wrote songs for Cheryl Cole and currently she is writing her new album which should be released in November! When asked about her music style this is what she had to say, "I would have loved to be part of the indie community. But I wasn't. I was looking for a community, I don't even know any people who are musicians. I never met that indie popular indie, whoever the fuck that is. Who IS indie? First of all, I can't really get my head around what indie music is. Because if you've heard of it, it's sort of pop music, right? Because it's, like, popular? Or is it just that it's not on the radio? It's not like I was in an indie community and then I blew up. It's like, I was living on the street and I'm not – like, for real, you know what I'm saying?". I love how weird and off focus her statement was, but it kind of answered the question right? Lana remembers the old times and brings it with her new music. I love it. And she is so gorgeous, no but seriously.

She has a dark aspect to her music too, but to be honest there are some dark things in life and it's a mistake to just ignore them and only focus on rainbows. It's time to let the music to speak for itself, so here are some of my favorites! Enjoy!
