Okay so perhaps I'm a little bit tardy
But I am just now getting familiar with
Lana Del Rey
Have you all heard about her
?!?!?
According to wikipedia
she's been described as a
"Self-Styled gangsta Nancy Sinatra"
I mean I can definitely support that
!!!!
I'd ran into an image of her on instragram
that a friend of mine had posted
& instantly found that my interest was piqued
once I'd caught wind of the title of one of her tracks
'Born To Die'
I'd yearned to learn more about this gal & to introduce my ears to this tune.
and so today I did and found that I actually liked what I heard
.....
A LOT
Her voice is captivating, enchanting, and distinctive. Very reminiscent of Nancy Sinatra.
And her lyrical content has depth, provides clarity, but in an unusual fashion. She chooses off the radar terms to depict lyrical portraits.
This was LOVE for me
!!!
So I'd gone on to find more of her tracks & learned that she just released an album
on
the 31st of January
also titled
'Born To Die'
I know the title seems a bit somber but it adds to the appeal in my opinion.
It lets me know that the person who made the statement is aware of the fact
that we'll all meet our maker at some point
so we should approach life with a fearless demeanor
and live it while the living is good.

It's was said in a Vogue interview by Elizabeth Grant
otherwise known as one
Miss. Lana Del Rey
that she wanted a name that she could shape the music towards,
she was going to Miami quite a lot at the time
and speaking a lot of Spanish
with her friends from Cuba
the name
Lana Del Rey
reminded them all of the glamour of the seaside
it sounded gorgeous coming off the tip of the tongue.
Now that is a fabulous story and one that I can totally relate too.
Similar to the story of one Miss. Ashley Best
who became
Darling Bonnie
:) that's me
In fact I'll share that story with you guys one day
!!!!
She is definitely a
Darling Clubhouse Member
and most definitely at the top of my list of artist to work with
Check out her tunes below
