    That Lana isn't even that young anymore and she's been single since 2015 so she really isn't in love?

    "Video Games"

     



     

    The song that started it all; a moody, dramatically romantic 5-minute ballad about “letting go of [her] musical ambitions and settling down into a simple life with a person [she] loved”.

     

    Written by Lana Del Rey herself, composed by Justin Parker (who worked with Ellie Goulding, Rihanna and Sia right after collaborating with Del Rey) and produced by Daniel Omelio and Brandon Lowry (Robopop), “Video Games” features haunting sustained piano chords, gentle strings, subtle electronic elements, passionate vocals and some of her finest lyrics to date, introducing us to the Lana Del Rey world: beautiful, innocent women terribly in love with bad guys.

     

    “Video Games” was an instant classic. “I knew right away that it was a pretty epic piece of work and that it would put her on the map and define her as an artist,” Omelio said back in 2012. “It was such a heartfelt and real piece of music, that I felt sure that people would connect with it right away.” And it definitely did; it went Top 10 in twelve European countries and even hit No. 1 in Germany and Luxembourg. This long, dreamy lullaby performed so well in the continent that it is considered to be one of most successful songs ever in France.

    “I would play my songs [to my label], explain what I was trying to do, and I’d get ‘You know who is No. 1 in 13 countries right now? Kesha,” Lana told T Magazine. “It was too dark, too personal, too risky, not commercial. It wasn’t pop until it was on the radio.” That’s exactly what this song and the whole Lana Del Rey persona did: she turned what it was risky, anti-EDM into the mainstream. Suddenly, slower songs hit the charts on which Katy Perry and Lady Gaga were dominating. An entire indie culture met the pop world and transformed into a sudden obsession for “retro vibes”, visual and musical textures and post-Born to Die kids like Halsey and Lorde.

     

    Its iconic video, a “moving collage” as described as Dazed, was just so brilliantly simple that the industry and general public started to conspire; Did she really edit this video herself? How did she get a contract with a major label? Is her dad a millionaire? Are her lips real? She’s not a feminist.

     

    Lana Del Rey was then a young woman opening her heart to the whole world. Yes, “It’s all for you / Everything I do”, “Only worth living if somebody is loving you” – among other lines – could come off as controversial, but she’s just another human being deeply, wrongly in love. Of course men are able to sing about dying over perfect bodies and great sex with multiple women, but Del Rey wishing to spend her life with an unrequited love is a bad example to young girls.

     

    At the end of the day, “Video Games” was just a taste of what was yet to come: the most interesting and unique female artist of the 2010s. A modern classic Del Rey should always be proud of.

    Lana Del Rey's major label debut Born to Die will turn 5 this month, and we will celebrate its 15 tracks during the next 15 days, until it officially turns half a decade old on January 27.

    I hope no one finds this offensive. But I'm thinking about this era from an artistic perspective. Ultraviolence is the crescendo of a toxic true love story. This is a theme common in my favorite movies who ill leave to the imagination. Summer 2014 the peak of my teenage years, the album was just released and I quickly went onto spotify. Literally four seconds into cruel world, I knew this was her artistic magnum opus. It spoke to the deepest layer of my soul. This album was very rough. Visually a burning white rose. Love letter ripped in half. A burning home. Closure on a relationship that was so bad it was good. Everything was in ruins. by Shades of cool not to be tmi I literally mentally climaxed. This album vocalized, visualized, dignified my intrigue in this type of relationship. The breaking point. In born to die she was his ride or die, he beat her, broke her, left her. She was blind in love. Then in ultra she was in the realization period. This is very much modern grunge. Very plush. The best of bad.

    Interesting to note that Lana is listed on this casting website as a client   https://www.harlowecasting.com/clients/ 
     
    The website's casting director is Kasia Szarek, the woman who posted the casting call for a new MV back in July-ish.
     
    They also list their directors  basically, i've scrolled through the music videos list and almost all of the directors are listed on the website. That means, the director of Lana's new MV is likely on here too - im gonna search through their works and see how Lana-esque they are/the type of content they produce. Will be interesting to know, because directors massively influence how a music video turns out.

    The word that always pops into my head when I think of what I'd like from future LDR music is 'muscular'. Like, a little more backbone, a bit more assertive, possibly even angry, sarcastic or ironic. Or even just more playful and wry? I adore all of her albums and unreleased, but we all know she can be a bit more sassy and confrontational when she chooses to be. Following HM with a harder-hitting sound would be such a good move IMO, and give her more material for festivals (at the very least).
     
    I dunno, she should do what she damn well pleases but a boy can dream...
