htrllllsem 14 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) That's the funny part, she IS a pop star But I'm glad her branding and marketing campaign inspires you to feel "special" and "alternative" how is she a pop star? how is her song/Albums/sound in any way like a pop star?

Addy Ezzie 2 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 This song is AMAZING. I didn't expect that. I don't know if Dan Auerbach produced it (he worked on ULTRAVIOLENCE) but it sounds like it. Lana pleasantly surprised me :) If the whole album is like that, I'm gonna love it ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenKookie 2,638 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I like it, it's a nice song. But I gotta be honest, I don't see it being as big as anything from Born to Die. All of those songs had this really strong visual sound to them and even though they are gloomy and cinematic, the melodies were still extremely catchy. This is nice, but it's sort of middle of the road for her in terms of her signature style. I'm still really excited for the album though, I'm sure we haven't even scratched the surface of the good stuff on there. I'm feeling the same I'm trying to deny my impression or opinion but oh well like I said hopefully the album will still go hard like her previous records on its own signature.

Tokyo Rose 1,475 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 how is she a pop star? how is her song/Albums/sound in any way like a pop star? She is a glorified collaborator, the product of a huge team to craft a calculated image, target a specific audience, and make money. The original marketing campaign to "launch" Lana Del Rey was hilarious to watch. Let's just say, it took a lot of work to get this ship afloat. So yes, she easily meets all terms for being a pop star. As far as the music, it's a post-Adele world. It's just a matter of supply and demand.

If you've listened to her old stuff (you haven't so shut up) before she was even signed to a label, she had many small Indie EPs released, and was known in the underground community very well. Then after a series of events in her life, she changed. (Cause Gaga has stayed the same the past few years right? maybe she is a product too but whatever) And by changed, how? She dyed her hair? Wow. The themes in her music from 2007 - Now are not even that different. And, if that means she would have to change her image to achieve what she was looking for, so be it but don't say she is fabricated, cause that is a big fat lie.

You really didn't make any points here, you're just in denial. Have fun P.S. human beings don't have faces that symmetrical.
