"Video Games" Introduces Lana Del Rey to Music Lovers

Video Games, the song, is the single that assured Lana Del Rey, aka Elizabeth "Lizzie" Grant of Lake Placid, New York, her high demand status in 2011. She has two younger siblings and parents who are "fine" with her being a professional musician, according to the British reporter, Rosie Swash.

The singer might have been aiming for the teenage audience with the title to this song, which originated in her YouTube vid, but she has a timeless, classic tone and appeal. From looking at her website, I'd guess her classic beauty and voice seem to be something she's trying to shed. She is, after all, "politely reticent about her childhood." You can feel her effort to be sharp with an edge! Good luck, Lizzy. You're a voice for the ages.

I don't blame her for wanting to be known as a singer with a name other than Grant. Not the echo that Del Rey wants and deserves.

"Lolita Got Lost In The Hood" (Self Portrait)

~ Lana Del Rey to Reporter Rosie Swash

blue jeans, lost in the hoodLana Del Rey's popularity has emerged per clicks on her one-song performance video on YouTube. Not so hard to believe. But, to sell out in 30 minutes a concert in London based only on that single venue? That's amazing!

Del Rey's talent is real and we hope she is ready to ride the wave of success. She has an album scheduled for release in 2012.

"Video Games" casts her in the voice of a victim of love for a guy who puts her a distant second to his interest in the pastimes on his mobile phone.

"I just put that song online a few months ago because it was my favourite," the 24-year-old said to Rosie Swash in September 2011. "To be honest, it wasn't going to be the single but people have really responded to it."

Swash regards the native of Lake Placid, New York as, "a doll-like creature, all dark lashes, huge pout and bouffant hair.. ." who also seems to deserve the extraordinary triumph of her performances and quick audience.
