Elizabeth Grant's debut album Lana Del Ray, also known as Lana Del Ray a.k.a. Lizzy Grant, was released five years ago! The album, released by indie label 5 Points Records, was produced by Grammy winner David Kahne (Paul McCartney, Regina Spektor, Tony Bennett, etc). Lana Del Ray is a sexy, dark and moody combination between indie rock and indie pop with blues, jazz and electronica influences, making it her most diverse record. The first track, "Kill Kill", sets the mood of the whole album — a creepy, melancholic, tropical fantasy with weird lyrics such as "I'm in love with a dying man." Beginning with the indie rock thing, "Queen of the Gas Station" is an up-tempo song about wanting a simple but at the same time romantic relationship. "Oh Say Can You See" is a great proof that Lana Del Rey can sing. The super melancholic, blues-influenced ballad features one of her best vocal performances; you really can feel the pain and loneliness in her voice, especially when she cites one of Nirvana's classics, "Come As You Are". The mid-tempo electronica track "Gramma" is a lyrical masterpiece and its sound is just magical with those accordions and trip hop drums. "For K, Pt. 2" is one of Lana's sexiest songs ever. With a jazzy blues rock production and a marvelous chorus, "For K, Pt. 2" is, clearly, a highlight. "Palm trees in black and white, last thing I saw before I died" may be of the most popular lines between her fans. "Jump" feels powerful and probably cinematic because of that simple yet incredible line. The jazzy "Mermaid Motel" is Lana Del Ray's darkest, sexiest, weirdest, most mysterious and well-produced track. The lyrics are just incredibly exotic and the progressive production makes it even creepier. Truly a masterpiece. "Raise Me Up (Mississippi South)" is an amazing indie rock piece about feeling the power to "talk what you want" and "how you want". After this sonic monster, "Pawn Shop Blues"' first chords take you to a different place — a different side of the artist and the album where everything is just calm, extremely sad or melancholic and sincere, with painful lines such as "It's nice to love and be loved but I'd rather know what God knows." Along with "Mermaid Motel", "Brite Lites" is another super weird song about, probably, breaking up. The most Lolita-inspired song on Lana Del Ray, "Put Me In a Movie" features one of the loveliest melodies and vocal performances, which is just creepy since she's singing "Come on, you know you like little girls." The production is incredible, too. "Smarty" is Lana Del Ray's "Fucked My Way Up to the Top" — sexy, shady and clever, but this one is probably better. The bridge is, without a doubt, an album's highlight. The last song is the fan-favorite "Yayo", a super romantic, sad, cinematic stripped-down ballad with one of her best lyrics ever. Everything about this song is perfect; the emotion in her voice, the atmospheric production, the piano and the amazing "Hello, Heaven" part. "Yayo" defines what Lana Del Rey is — sonically, lyrically and thematically. Surely one of the best masterpieces. What's your favorite song? Least favorite? Do you like the album?

UV sold much more than BTD in South America, though!
