Lana Del Ray -- "Video Games"

When I first read of Lana Del Ray, I was far from intrigued, besides her beauty, which floured me, I thought she was just another pop musician who was getting pointless attention on the blogosphere. However, I clearly read too far into her or maybe didn't read into her enough. I heard "Video Games" just a few nights on NPR's excellent Fall Music Preview (highly suggested). It would be an understatement to say that I just enjoyed the song. It made my jaw drop; it's sexy, beautifully produced, and the vocals are simply stunning. They are magnificently understated alongside of absolutely gorgeous instrumentation. I am sure that this is a young women who is destined to be a shining star very soon. Can't wait to hear more stuff by her, but for now I am very happy to just listen to "Video Games" on repeat.
