Lana Del Rey

[iron yuppie]

Granted, but even Liam Gallagher would know not to write that.

Cinnamon isn't even sweet what the fuck

Spoiler

There are other problems with the album besides the lyrics.

 

[nielsgov]

I just listened to it. There isn't a song that stood out to me. Video Games is definitely the best song on there. It's pleasant background music for me.

 

[Imperor]

Now my life is sweet like cinnamon.
Like a fuckin dream I'm livin in.

I'm gonna become common-law spouses with this hook.

 

[Danny Boy]

When I heard that couplet I immediately thought, "Ah, this must be one of those weird lapses into braggadocio."

It's no "You're So Vain," to be sure.

 

[LemonMelon]

Lana would never talk back to her man like that harlot Carly Simon.

In case you missed Weekend Update on SNL this last weekend, this is pretty funny.

[GirlsAloudFan]

Still my favorite album of 2012 so far.

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

I Video Games and Blue Jeans. Great songs

 

[bollox]

Sadly none of the other songs on the album are as good.

 

[Aygo]

It's been one of my 2012 (yet) favourite albums...

Lana Del Rey - Blue Velvet with lyrics - YouTube

New cover to be included in the upcoming deluxe version, Born To Die - Paradise Edition.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

"My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola"

- LDR, 2012

 

[Aygo]

Lana del Rey - Ride (Official Full Single) - YouTube

...And the new single taken from the re-release.

 

[Danny Boy]

This trend of releasing deluxe versions of albums I've already bought months after the fact is pissing me off.

I will not be paying for more of this. Fool me twice, etc...

 

[Aygo]

The Paradise EP is already illegally downloadable. It'll be sold separately from Born To Die in NA.
I have already heard the EP. It's a mix of new songs, the "Blue Velvet" cover and some reworked outtakes and older tracks.
I prefered the first version of "Yayo" released on her first album (when she was just Lizzy Grant). The new version not only is worse as it has a production/master mistake: Lana realizes she's gonna sing wrongly a line and sobs when entering that line. It's pretty perceptible and no one corrected it.

Besides the H&M promocional video made with "Blue Velvet" and the video for "Ride", the eighth track, "Bel Air", already has a video too.

And for those who haven't seen the H&M commercial with the "Blue Velvet" cover...

[Jive Turkey]

Not sure what h&m was thinking when they got her to model for their current campaign. She's got the same dumb look on her face in every shot

 

[Danny Boy]

Paradise is only $3.99 on Amazon today. I'm tempted just to see if it's more consistent than her debut.

 

[LemonMelon]

Hey, I like this more than Born to Die. A great deal more consistent, and there aren't as many ill-advised hip-hop beats. The lyrics are still horrible crap, but I still think it's wise that she emphasized her vocals here, as they have improved. It also helps that this album is 20 minutes shorter. I like Cola and Bel Air the most, I think. The Blue Velvet cover is pointless.

 

[nielsgov]

I like Ride a great deal.

 

[Cactus Annie]

So do you think her album is worth buying?
