Born To Die by Lana Del Rey free essay sample

Many of you have heard the remix of Summertime Sadness played daily on the radio, but how many of you really know the singer behind the remix? Lana Del Rey (or Elizabeth Grant) was a hidden gem until recently, when Cedric Gervais created a remix of one of her songs on the Born to Die album. Del Rey has been compared to Marina and the Diamonds, Lady Gaga, Lorde, Florence + The Machine, and many other great artists. Unsurprisingly, Born to Die is one of her most successful albums for her lyric choice, sound, and overall greatness. Del Rey’s album has a comforting sound that can calm down anybody in distress. One listen to her soothing voice and you’ll be hypnotized by her. No loud and raving dubstep or screaming rock music, just calming melodies playing in the background. Most of the songs on the album are about love or Del Rey’s life, as she revealed in an interview. Towards the end of the album her songs start to get dark and gloomy, as if she lost the love one who once brought her joy. The cover of the album seems to represent the music very well, the clean and crisp picture of her is like how she sings and how she presents herself. This album is perfect for young adults or teens like myself. I would definitely download it, its worth the money. There is an endless possibility on what you can imagine her songs are about. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for an old time, smokey voice album.
