Born And Raised is my guess

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LANA DEL RAY!

Seven years ago today, Lana's official debut album was released. 

May it continue to "raise us up".

 



 

(I'm a little late, lol. Also, credit to adoringlana on tumblr for these beautiful gifs!)

Written with Rick Nowels, Emile Haynie, and Benny Blanco.

Oh yes, excited for this ! Born To Die... Such a special album in my heart ! 
I was a bit bored of what was being done at the time and then she just brought this breath of fresh air. I was amazed by what I was listening to: the lyrics, the melodies, the cultural references, the themes, the visuals, the interviews, the face, the vocals... It was so much ! 
Video Games (and more particularly Blue Jeans) pushed me to make videos myself and film more. I always thought: "You need to have studied editing/cinema to do these things" and she showed me that you just need a vision and love for that...
 
"Born To Die" sounds timeless (most of it)
I still can't get over "Off To The Races", the flow, the imagery, the strings, the vocals, the delivery, the hard beats, 
"Blue Jeans" is the song that stole my heart
"Video Games" is a modern classic,
"Diet Mtn Dew" is a bop and yet so melancholic (plus the demo versions are fire),
"National Anthem"'s chorus is so breathtaking,
"Dark Paradise" was so unusual to what could be heard back in the day,
"Radio"'s chorus was infectious and was on loop pretty much my whole spring/summer,
"Carmen"'s storytelling is superb,
"Million Dollar Man" needs to be a jazz standard,
"Summertime Sadness" is so gorgeous for so many reasons, those military drums swept me away, the bridge, the chorus,
"This is What Makes Us Girls" took me the longest time to appreciate but now I see the light, the lyrics paint such a vivid picture,
"Without You" is so easy to love,
"Lolita" is so dark and naughty and pow,
"Lucky Ones" is heartbreakingly naive...
 
I feel sorry for every BTD detractor who constantly feel the need to bash this superb album because the truth is; it has a strong identity rooted in a unique universe.
 
No, in all seriousness, I respect everybody's preference. Happy Birthday, BTD, a great album ! 

I'm getting all misty-eyed at the fact that I got TWO (2) nominations, in two of the nicest categories! Y'all do too much. I love all of you oml

I wish luck to everyone who has been nominated!
Congrats guys 

I and blessed and amazed at the discovery of having a nomination at this award. I am greatful that my hard work has been seen and has blessed everyone.From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise, that you treat people with respect. Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them
 
I would be greatful to win Best Taste. Thank You all.

Y'all better vote for me for best status updater and veteran member
