Lana Del Rey – Off to the Races
I’m so conflicted on how I feel about Lana Del Rey. She’s a non-indie indie sweetheart. And she’s barely a sweetheart, and she has really big lips. WHAT’S WITH THE LIPS? Do people really have lips like that? Anyway, “Off to the Races” is a leak from her debut album Born To Die, which will be released on January 31st. The song features Lana’s vintage, badass jazzy vocals behind yet another hip-hop beat. I hate to say it, but the song goes hard. I’m sorry. I think Lana is slowly winning me over. I’m starting to ignore the lips. The giant, giant lips.
And the fact that her whole persona seems to be an act created by genius label executives and supporting her is like letting The Man win. Fuck that shit. Gangster Nancy Sinatra swag.
Bonus! Below is the album’s other two singles and the ”Power“-esque music video for the album’s title track. Speaking of Mr. West, he took to Twitter yesterday to show his support of Lana Del Rey. Huh. I don’t know how I feel about that. What do you think?
