I have recently been listening to some songs by the fresh, new, NYC-born, flower princess of pop, Elizabeth Grant (better known as Lana Del Rey).
She describes herself as the "gangsta Nancy Sinatra", and her music shows a weirder touch on mainstream pop music. Her debut single "Video Games" is captivating, magical and mysterious. While "Blue Jeans" is more controversial, as it brings in religious symbolism, which adds to the odd, fantastical sound of the song.
I'm really, really loving this girl at the moment and I am so excited for her debut album!
Lana Del Rey is definitely one to watch.
