While more overtly 'poppy' than those two, Lana shares a similar sort of ethic of deconstruction. I'm not sure of all the factors that resulted in my sudden and drastic about-face, my conversion to a believer and acolyte, but now a convert I am to the extent that I believe, and will argue (though perhaps not entirely cogently), that the four pop gems that comprise this EP are some of the best pop tracks I've heard bar none.Ĭommentators frequently compare Lana Del Rey to contemporary pop sensation forebears (a la Lady Gaga, Adele et al.), but I think her essential ethos is more comparable to the kind evidenced on Jenny Hval's 'Viscera' or, more recently, Jessie Ware's 'Devotion'. Yet listening to the singles of her album in the context of her EP invigorated the songs, gave them immediacy somehow.

The cloying anachronistic evocations of an era long since past the tedious drone of her voice the problematic lyrics the perceived nepotism involved in her recording contract (although tellingly I- and I suspect you- didn't give a *** about her male counterpart James Black's similarly privileged circumstances). Hearing 'Born to Die' for the first time, I had all the same qualms and misgivings you did. Ladies and Gentlemen, don't give me that filthy look refrain, if you will, from sneeringly chortling at my unabashed defense and adoration of Lana Del Rey's exquisite little EP.
