Growing up, there was no YouTube and the only way I had to watch my favourite videos was to spend a whole day in front of Musique Plus (the French-Canadian MTV) in hope that they would show them. I know - I am old ;) You guys, in your teenage years, grew up with YouTube but it still amazes me that everything I want to watch is just a click away and sometime I get a little carried away. I spent the whole day watching stuff on YouTube like it was a new toy that my parents were going to take away any minute. By the way, it is an analogy. I don't live at my parents' ;) And when I was ready to shut down my computer and go to bed, I saw this video...
Isn't this song amazing and the video mind-blowing?! In my opinion, Lana Del Rey is the up-and-coming artist (and fashionista) to watch in 2012. Her debut album is due January 30th and I will buy it for sure! I've already watched everything available on YouTube and I am hooked!
Here is what iTunes says about her:
"Vocalist Lana Del Rey makes atmospheric, orchestral retro-'60s-sounding pop that showcases her torchy image and sensuously husky singing style. A native of Lake Placid, New York, Del Rey released the single "Kill Kill" under her given name, Lizzy Grant, in 2009 before remaking herself into the pop femme fatale character Lana Del Rey. A video for the single "Video Games" appeared online in August of 2011 and drew considerable buzz, as did a "secret show" she performed at Brooklyn's Grasslands Gallery that September. Del Rey's EP, featuring the songs "Video Games" and "Blue Jeans," was released in fall 2011. "What do you think? Am I right or am I right?! ;)
