Born To Die

On her 2012 stirring debut album, New York pop singer-songwriter Lizzy Grant transformed into the more bombastically-named Lana Del Rey and absolutely wallows in it.

The songs are husky and sensual in a way that hits the sweet spot Cat Power has abdicated since 'The Greatest'. 'Born To Die' the album is a collection of tracks about which Lana says "the songs I've written are an homage to true love and a tribute to living life on the wild side." The songs are atmospheric, orchestral retro-'60s-sounding pop that showcases her torchy image and sensuously husky singing style.
