Lana Del Rey has almost as many leaked songs as official releases. Three new songs have hit the web: 'Methamphetamines,' 'Fordham Road' and 'Prom Story (Gone Wrong).'
Did Lana Del Rey record like 9,000 songs? Yet another song from her seemingly bottomless vaults has leaked in the form of 'Backfire.' We're unsure if it's from the upcoming re-release of her debut 'Born to Die,' or if it was something she cut for the album that didn't make it. Maybe it was just merely a demo track? Who knows.
The fact that two “new” Lana Del Rey songs (‘Delicious’ and ‘Big Bad Wolf’) landed online leaves us with two distinct questions.
At this point in her career, Lana Del Rey is becoming more renowned for her modeling endorsements than for her music. In addition to repping the fall line of discount clothes retailer H&M, Del Rey is now the face of a decidedly more upscale brand: Jaguar! From mass-produced basic tees and dresses to luxury vehicles, Del Rey’s face reps it all!
Covering Nirvana songs is always a risky proposition. The standard is high, given the group’s status as possibly the most-revered rock band of the past 30 years. Lana Del Rey gave it shot last night in Australia, taking on the band’s 1993 hit ‘Heart-Shaped Box.’
We saw a brief trailer of the new Lana Del Rey ‘Summertime Sadness’ video yesterday, but now the full clip has hit the web — and it’s a doozy. Just as her controversial ‘National Anthem‘ video paid homage to the Kennedys with an interracial twist, ‘Summertime Sadness’ seems like a ‘Thelma and Louise’ tribute with a twist of its own: Del Rey and her co-star, actress Jaime King, aren’t BFFs. They’re lesbian lovers.
After appearing together in the ‘National Anthem‘ video, A$AP Rocky and Lana Del Rey team up again for this new song called ‘Ridin’.’ The track was originally supposed to appear on the KickDrums’ mixtape ‘Follow the Leaders,’ but it may be considered for Rocky’s new LP ‘LiveLoveA$AP’ (due out Sept. 11).
Lana Del Rey had the music industry talking with the release of her album ‘Born to Die,’ and most recently, the 26-year-old singer announced she would be portraying Jackie O in the video for ‘National Anthem.’ So why not cause the fashion world to get into a tizzy by being a part of a fashion campaign?
Lana Del Rey put on quite a show at the El Rey theater in Los Angeles. The New York native debuted a new track, ‘Body Electric,’ for her diehards.
Lana Del Rey nabbed the cover of British Vogue for March. It was a huge “get” for the much-maligned singer, since it’s the fashion bible. While LDR continues to deal with criticism about her singing abilities and lack of live firepower, there’s no denying how pretty she looks in the Mario Testino-shot internal images from her Vogue cover. She’s a flower, blooming in red and pink tones.
Lana Del Rey performed on the ‘American Idol‘ stage last night (March 15), only we didn’t see it. That’s because the much maligned singer pre-taped her performance due to scheduling conflicts (!) which prevented her from signing live.
Say what you want about what Lana Del Rey sounds like, but one thing that can’t be debated: The artist formerly known as Lizzy Grant is gorgeous.
