I love this picture. It’s simple, the background ain’t perfect, but the blue sky, her stare at the horizon and the sunbeam are really fitting of this era. Preach, sis!!! People have a hard time reading and remembering things these days. They then wish that what they hope will be happening... No wonder this fan base is so often deceived.

It's a gorgeous picture, I love it too! I would be completely okay if it was the album cover.
Btw, isn't like the only promotional picture we have for this era?

I LOVE this picture and i'm confident that i'll probably use it to replace the official cover on iTunes

Lana Del Rey's breakthrough studio album turns 7 years old on January 27.

By the time Elizabeth Grant and Interscope Records officially released the moody, iconic piano ballad "Video Games", Maroon 5 had the No. 1 hit of the moment with "Moves Like Jagger". Before that, Katy Perry and LMFAO were at the top with "Last Friday Night" and "Party Rock Anthem", respectively.

America wasn't ready for the LDR brand which, ironically, was an exaggeration, emphasis and glamourization of their own culture. She brought back the delicacy of the 50s, the beauty of the 60s, the freedom of the 70s, the grandiosity of the 80s, the fetichism of the 90s and the ambition of the new century.

Her project was impossible to ignore and inevitable to criticise for the media. And it's not new. The same thing happened back in the early 90s when Madonna put out the longing, provicative and intimate Erotica. People simply can't stand women feeling free enough to share their most disturbing thoughts and ideas. However, Erotica is now considered a masterpiece of its decade and an important part of the history of feminism and pop culture. Lana wasn't being universal, and that's what made people mad. Her Instagram-filtered world of abusive millionaire men, alcohol and ruined youth, along with Portishead-styled trip hop beats and dramatic orchestra wasn't relatable. Her being able to say she would die without her lover is just as important as Beyoncé singing girls run the world.

At the end of the day, Born to Die served as inspiration for both future and well-established artists. Music-wise, it was a pioneer of different trends: the new wave of hip-hop, the comeback of emotive, less technical vocalists, organic and slow pop instrumentation and an obsession with all things DIY; the latter leading to her important visual influence -- low budget, vintage and aesthetically pleasing, opposite to the futuristic and colorful trend that was going on before her. Popular musicians like Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Selena Gomez and many more were so inspired by her music videos that even went to work with her directors.
