lana del rey

if you guys haven't already heard of this girl or watched the video, you are missing out. new york born, lana del rey is an american singer with obvious influences from the latter days. she has a great late fifties, sixties look with her plumped up lips, thick eyeliner and a whole load of old clips forming the music video to the song VIDEO GAMES.

i first saw the video on VH1, and with the channel showing old videos, i asked my mum had she seen this before, guessing it was from the seventies. i found out it was brand new. this is genius, i love it how such a new song can seem so old. i love the old vibe of the video, the earriness of the song and the juxtaposition of the glamorous hollywood.

i reckon this is what music needs lately, to take some tips from the past just like fashion does. the past ten decades trends can forever be seen in what we are wearing today, so why can't music do this? there is definitely a market for a good old fifties vibe singer, and some seventies videos, like lana del reys.
