Lana Del Rey - 'Born To Die'

Cougar Microbes Top Albums of 2012: Lana Del Rey – ‘Born To Die’

Lana Del Rey became one of 2012 most discussed artists thanks in part to her calculated retro femme fatale image, the visual power of her infamous ‘Video Games‘ video, a slew of amazing remixes and her unaffected yet incredibly deep vocal delivery.

Cougar scribe  Mario said “When listing my albums of the year I couldn’t leave out one of the year’s authentic surprises. Lana Del Rey has been much discussed. What I do know is that, while the album at times does not live up to the level set by its singles, the talent is there for everyone to see as well as is her already iconic image.  Only time will tell if this is a well-packaged marketing operation or whether we are faced with a new American showbiz diva“.

Sam also listed her adding “nostalgic lyrics capture the aesthetic of a girl let down by everyone to paint a world of Hollywood tragedy whilst luxurious strings flood through your speakers like tears from the broken dreams of the troubled singer”.
