Lana Del Rey : Queen of Indie Pop

Elizabeth Woolridge Grant (born June 21, 1985), known professionally as Lana Del Rey, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, poet and music video director. Her music has been noted by critics for its stylized cinematic quality, its preoccupation with themes of tragic romance, glamour, melancholia and its references to pop culture particularly 1950s and 1960s Americana .

Lana Del Rey is one of my favourite artists because she is the epitome
of beauty, glamour and powerful song. The wholesome purity in her voice
has an element of eeriness pleasant to the ear, harmonising with the
emotion behind the lyrics. The richness of her voice is powerfully
heard throughout all of her songs, conjuring a feeling she is singing right
next to you. Many of her songs have an underlying bittersweet
demeanour as she touches upon tragic heart break, nostalgia and the
issues surrounding modern society. I get the feeling she has based some of
her songs on personal experience but don’t quote me on this.
If you are a clean bean then I am afraid there are some explicit content
in some of her songs, so I would just avoid listening to them.
But, the majority of songs are so beautiful, with epic instrumental
music, they move me and send
shivers down my spine. I feel as though her music may be seen as sad
but I believe they are uplifting in a funny,
Lana Del Rey way. She certainly is a golden beauty. And her songs take my
breath away..
