Born to Die

Lana Del Ray is a name indie-music listeners are hearing more and more of.  This fall she released two songs, Blue Jeans and Video Games, which were her debut tracks as an artists.  Both tracks received a lot of attention especially Video Games which was made into various remixes by dozens of DJs.  Her songs seemed to have left listeners waiting for her to come out with something new.  Well, she has just released a third track, Born to Die.

Born to Die is a great follow-up to her two previous songs.  It still has a dream-like quality that Blue Jeans and Video Games have.  Her melodies are clear and catchy, and her lyrics are poetic.  The production behind her gives the song hip, edgy feel, and compliments her vocals in an interesting way.  Hopefully there is more to come from Lana Del Ray.
