Lana del Rey is one of the singers with the strangest aesthetics of recent times. Her songs, videos and style propose what is different and attractive in an artist that modernizes what we already considered timeless. As a base, we know that the entire ideology of Lana del Rey is developed from the proposal of Elizabeth Woolridge Grant (real name of the artist), with a little help from her respective musical representatives; who also prepared the Lady Gaga phenomenon.
Its aesthetic is based on the concept of the glamorous of old Hollywood, and the modernity of today’s woman; the answer lies in being a Gansta Nancy Sinatra, as the singer classifies herself. Lana feels a special affinity towards Marylin Monroe and Elvis Presley, she adores the poetry of Walt Whitman and loves cat-eye makeup; her highlighting her soft chameleon hair, creating an advertising image icon. This compendium is seen in BodyElectricthe song in which he emphasizes his love for what is appreciable in popular art.
Lana has three studio albums on her account, born to die (2012), Paradise Deluxe edition (2013), a version of his debut album with many more songs, relaunching the hits from the first album; ultraviolence (2014) their second album, the new songs were perfectly received, solidifying the opportunities in being able to demonstrate their participation within the world of music; and actually honeymoon of 2015.
Del Rey is very shy, with an ethereal presence, she doesn’t like big events; but she transforms as she steps onto the stage, where she demonstrates her powerful voice. To understand what is particular about Lana, we must know that his voice has very complex nuances, he changes ranges with unparalleled ease; if his songs on the album are beautiful and attractive, live he represents the freedom of improvisation and as proof of that we have his 2012 participation in the festival Hackney Weekend, where he let himself go and gave us a wonderful interpretation of his theme Million Dollar Man.
If you don’t have any notion about Lana’s music, let’s start with her big Love Hit, Video Games, tribute to an already established couple in which the artist chants: “heaven is a place on earth with you.” The theme is simple and the video is edited and directed by Lana herself, resulting in millions of views on the famous video channel. Youtube.
Fundamentally, he composes independent pop songs, being his essential album born to die, which prepares us to enter the Lana universe; where the sensual and mysterious of the music merge with the feminine calm of their performances. We recommend listening video Games, summertime sadness, Carmen, Blue Jeans, West coast, High by the beach and Honeymoon.
