I have been totally bitten by the Lana del Rey bug.
Her voice is haunting, beautiful and her music sways somewhere between classic ballads and R and B with heavy beats. Even better? It's all wrapped up in movie-like music videos.
"National Anthem" pulls in some classic Americana references - del Rey impersonating bombshell Marilyn Monroe serenading JFK with a "happy birthday" song, Jack O outfits...Even the filming technique has a vintage feel to it.
Overall, I'm just obsessed. This is my pick track of summer 2012.

I'm heading into some crazy preparation and a few weeks of Olympic work, so my apologies for a lack of posts here.
