Lana Del Rey
I really love her authentic appearance and vintage style. Kind of surprized she isn't much mentioned on twoism yet. Anyone else into her?

Not particularly my thing. Sorta agree with Mex though, she is talented but maybe not for me.
She's stunning though.

I quite like her: I thought Video Games is a fantastic track.
Agree that she seems very manufactured: the whole look and sound has probably been focus-grouped to within an inch of it's life, but it's interesting to see a manufactured pop star with a bit of darkness, edge and SOMETHING....
There was a lovely mash-up doing the rounds on Twitter a while ago of the vocal from The Smiths' This Charming Man over Video Games - worked really well.

I do remember how she was brought up, someone mentioned an interview with her in which she mentioned he had musician friends in Scotland, so of course someone had to say perhaps it was the brothers.2020k wrote:There was a little discussion on her in the Speculation topic.

It was me, lol. But it was a joke of course, because of how nostalgic all of her videos are. I thought Twoism would like them.Radiobuzz wrote:I do remember how she was brought up, someone mentioned an interview with her in which she mentioned he had musician friends in Scotland, so of course someone had to say perhaps it was the brothers.2020k wrote:There was a little discussion on her in the Speculation topic.

By the way, she's re-releasing her album with a cover of "Blue Velvet" and just released another 10 minute video. I put details over here

She has a lovely voice. Still, she's no Nancy Sinatra. She doesn't have that real, magnetic, tangible personality personality to really become an icon. She's just another manufactured, overproduced pop star (and she is really overproduced, I think). It would be nice if she stepped it down a bit and followed the likes of, say, Hope Sandoval--who seems far less fabricated.

I'm obsessed with the visuals from the Paradise era. They're more refined and beautiful than the Born to Die album - and those visuals are HARD TO TOP!
Ride, Burning Desire, and Blue Velvet videos are lovely too.

I think Lana Del Rey is great. I love all of her songs, even those ones that were leaked. She could make an album with all those tracks. Has anyone seen Tropico yet, btw? It's so damn gorgeous! The visuals and the poetry are amazing in my opinion. 
Stalking, my debut album, is out on joseguilhermemusic.bandcamp.com

In my opinion, Lana Del Ray (AKA Lizzy Grant) brought style and class BACK into the world of POP. Bitches seriously have some catching up to do if they wish to win back the respects of many fans. Lana set a standard that I believe many pop artists are trying to reach now. I DO enjoy her music, but like ALL Pop music, I can't listen to it for too long cuz I get sick of it fast.
