Meet Lana Del Rey - Exclusive Interview

隨Retro和Old Hollywood風格在時尚界流行起來
加上音樂界方面由Duffy,Paloma Faith到Adele在Grammys的成就等
一眾「老聲音」把舊年代的情感帶回現代
這個環境 這個基調
形容自己的音樂風格為戲劇性新派流行音樂的
 “Hollywood Pop/sadcore”的Lana Del Rey 她的冒起是應運而生的

Styling : Mel Ottenberg  


她是一個迷失於荷理活電影世界的Lolita
青春,甜美,動人,富情感
不同於Madonna/Lady Gaga的反叛
她是用另一種手法展示壞女孩形象


Without You


我很喜歡這個Without You的Live Version
另外喜歡的有Radio//Off to the Races//Video Game
Summertime Sadness更是特別愛聽 可能有共嗚吧


Radio



在這個世界 要無可替代 就要與眾不同


Now my life is sweet like cinnamon
Like a fucking dream I'm living in

Sticker on Cover: US Vogue May 2012


US Vogue May 2012
Scarlett Johansson by Mario Testino


"I feel like I've seen this cover a dozen times before. 
Tilted head, Grace Kelly hair, red lipstick, same type of dress. 
It's utterly boring. And the editorial is extremely random and cheesy. 
And it doesn't help that I have zero interest in Scarlett either.
 I really don't like anything about this. US Vogue was on a good path 
with the recent covers and cover subjects but this feels 
like a step back to me."(from tfs) 

這comment真的一針見血.
好久沒看US Vogue, 反而更喜歡UK和中國的, 
它們至少能給我一點我沒見過的驚喜或新鮮感
我從沒減少對Anna Wintour的肯定, 她是傳奇,有能力操控和製造時尚,
但她不再挑戰過去的自己,是最讓讀者失望的。
上期《號外》有句說話值得深思: 當一個institution, industry
及至一個社會都要因循一種既往的成功模式不斷重覆自己,
就只會逐步走向窮途末路。

American Singer and Songwriter

I can be your china doll
If you want to see me fall

瓷娃娃般的甜美面孔 載著直鼻性感厚唇
 有誰會想到如此的外表可會是一種負累?
一切一切 Lana Del Rey 心中有數 
面對一群尤其針對她雙唇真偽的網民, 她回應
"They're real lips, I mean. In real life, my lips don't look that big."
能夠說出這番說話大概背後盡是無奈

God bless 她總算沒有愧對一把5/60年代老靈魂的聲音
用實力來證明自己非花瓶 成功打入國際音樂市場

去年夏天, 她在Youtube上載了 Video Games
至今MV已累積過千萬次點擊
她的唱片debut album Born to Die曾打入美國音樂榜No.2, 
並在英德法澳等七個國家音樂榜取得榜首佳積


It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
