Lana Del Rey: The New Indie Princess?


Is Lana Del Rey the next icon in making?


With her pouted lips, lushes long brown hair and impeccable face, Lana Del Rey is fast becoming musics new indie darling. Of course is it not her looks that make her a new star but her amazing song writing skills and her retro, sometimes interesting vocals. But is she a icon in the making or just a one album wonder, that is still to be seen as she is so fresh on the landscape of music.

What makes her stand out?

Lana Del Rey has something that truly sets her apart from other pop stars. It is called mystique. When you listen to her painfully honest music and lyrics, it is clear that her heart has been broken by somebody. With music that paints such a vivid picture of her life, it is strange that she still remains so mysterious. We get the feeling that she has not been manufactured to be a pop star but it was her music that captured peoples heart. With her self made debut in music crashing her into the ever glaring and critical spotlight, it is a real fairy-tale story come true. Lana's rise has not been without its pitfalls.



She remains one of the most talked about new artists as some argue that she has been given too much influence in the music world for somebody with so little experience. What people don't know, is that she has been an artist for many years and it is only is the past few that she has hit it big. Many others criticize her live performances calming that she cant sing. Lana has said that she has a unique way of singing. People are just so used to hearing a generic, auto tuned, lip-synced performance that they can no longer appreciate a different tone and quality to a new voice.

One thing is for sure, with her stunning looks and deep,soul inducing beats along with her brutally honest lyrics, Lana is here to stay. She is a new type of singer, one that can cover the front page of Vogue and Rolling Stone magazine without anybody questing why she is there.
