The internet is all in a lather over the latest “it” girl to hit the blogosphere. Such a pretty song… The artist is Brooklyn singer Lana Del Rey and the song is “Video Games.” The song is a melancholy, achy, sultry, vintage… I dunno… other descriptions. I’ve had it on repeat the last few days.
Pitchfork had a chance to declare her “rising” at the end of August.
Of all the articles I’ve read on Lana Del Rey, Pitchfork cuts right to it the best… even coming out swinging with the… “are you a corporate construct built to trick horny virginal video game playing hipsters?”
The song is pretty choice and the video is even more fun.
