Lana Del Rey

I didn't hear her sing live but so far, her music seems derived from other sources and she sings on top of them.

In 'Blue Jeans', she sounds like Kate Bush singing over 'Wicked Game' by Chris Isaak.
After searching around, many other people hear the similarities so it ain't just a coincidence.

Still liking the album a few months on.

I haven't heard the album but presumably the 2 tracks I have heard are the best off it and since they sound like other peoples music, I'm sure I haven't missed anything.

The chorus for Cher Lloyds first release 'Swagger Jagger' was derived from Nursery Rhyme, 'Clementine'

What makes DLR any different from CL?

Absolutely nothing because neither of them can write their own music.

There's nothing wrong with doing covers and including them on the album, I remember Nirvana doing a great cover of Shocking Blue's 'Love Buzz' but atleast they didn't claim to write it...

her songs are prettier than her, those big lips are terrifying

Quite liking the album she released under the name 'Lizzy Grant'

Hasn't her descent into obscurity and side notes already started?

Being serious though, i doubt it.

She sounds nothing like Kate Bush :pac:

*BUMP*

Anybody out there have an opinion on Ultraviolence? Personally I think it's an improvement on Born to Die; it's weirder, woozier and less blatantly commercial than BtD was. It is very top heavy though, with pretty much all of the highlights being in the first half of the album.

"West Coast" and the title track are definitely two of the best songs she's done thus far.

I like the West Coast song, think that's the best song she's made, and another song, Sad Girl, is quite good too. I've only heard a couple of the other tracks off the album, and it sounds pretty much like more of the same to me. Similar lyrical theme - damsel in distress, Hollywood starlet stuff.

Sam Mac

I personally prefer Born to Die, but to be fair I haven't listened to Ultraviolence enough yet to get a full idea.

Ultraviolence is certainly a very good album though, I really like the tracks 'Ultraviolence' and 'West Coast'.

Would love to see her live at the Marquee, but all the tickets are sold out
