Born To Die [VINYL]

Product Information

I'm a fan of her music and her albums have progressed in various experimental directions over time, whilst retaining that enigmatic vocal style so loved by people who follow her. Dark Paradise is one of the most subtly powerful and devastating portraits of living after the death of a lover that you will find.

Her languid vocals harmonize with evocative lyrics, conveying a sense of melancholic yearning and bittersweet nostalgia. Her voice is not a perfect instrument; there's a hitch in her voice which is occasionally disruptive, but she manoeuvres around it pretty well, and her ability to move from deep sophisticate to adolescent wanna-be is frequently striking.Born To Die" follows Lana's first single "Video Games" which began its life online in July accompanied by a video created by Lana. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. O álbum é extremamente icônico na cultura sad/indie, com letras que falam sobre amor, poder, drogas, decepções amorosas, vida líquida na contemporaneidade e a efusiva arte de bridar o caos que existe dentro de cada um de nós. Firstly the image: yes, she is striking to look at, but it is anything but an easy look, it's a confrontational look and a mysterious look; she doesn't smile, she looks like she could maybe kill you, given provocation. The songs are atmospheric, orchestral retro-'60s-sounding pop that showcases her torchy image and sensuously husky singing style.

Million Dollar Man is a perfect indictment of a certain kind of flashy man who women will fall for, only to be mistreated. Sem dúvidas, a sonoridade de Del Rey fica muito genuína no formato vinil, tornando sua voz expressiva e carinhosamente semelhante as grandes divas motown dos anos 50/60. Born To Die is a strong opener and, in similar tones to Video Games, meshes haunting melody and lyrics with a gritty, torch song quality, oddly verging between dirge and pop. The songs are husky and sensual in a way that hits the sweet spot Cat Power has abdicated since The Greatest. Born To Die" is a suitably noir follow up to "Video Games" and is coming with an incredible video conceived by Lana and Directed by Woodkid.

It obviously falls short of being a sonic marvel, but the dynamics are more expansive, and the tone richer than the streamed version. Born to Die' is a haunting, enchanting masterpiece, essential for any admirer of Lana Del Rey and those drawn to mesmerizing, moody musical escapades.

I only had to listen to a snatch of one of Lana's songs, and I knew she was something special, something exciting from a musical realm that has been entirely stale for the past decade.Radio is one of those guilty pleasure songs - a laid back pop song with a chorus that, if played on radio, would require much editing, and yet still manages to remain sounding innocent and beautiful. Aside from a repeated pop at the end of C2 and beginning of C3 that lasts at least for a minute (and I can't get rid of it even after cleaning the record a few times, but it doesn't bother me that much), my copy sounds just fine to me, I have no other complaints. Sound is overall good, lots of crackling sadly, especially on D side even though I brushed it more than once.

There is as much depth in her portraits of superficiality as you would find in a Matt Berninger lyric. Possessing this album on vinyl provides an immersion into Lana's world that cannot be matched - the melancholic sweetness and vintage allure are tangible in every note.

She lived in a New Jersey trailer park and decked her homestead in flags, streamers and seasonally inappropriate Christmas lights.I looked at what the internet was saying and the reviews seemed oddly mixed between those who said every track was great and those who seemed to have some sort of a grudge against her that no-one could properly define. I would like it if more artists had their music pressed onto 3 sides with the 4th side containing bonus songs. Born To Die the album is a collection of tracks about which Lana says "the songs I've written are an homage to true love and a tribute to living life on the wild side. I do not have the US vinyl to compare to; I can imagine how cramming this album into a single LP would negatively affect the sound.
