Labeling herself as Hollywood Pop is a near perfect genre for Lana Del Rey (real name Lizzy Grant). Her first single “Video Games” is a beautifully orchestrated ode to an emotionally unavailable lover featuring swelling strings and nearly comical yet spot on lyrics. Grant’s sultry singing on the track recalls the likes of Cat Power giving each lyric power with minimal force. The video for the song compliments its atmosphere juxtaposing the beauty of young vitality and the downfall of Hollywood beauty. The single is due out October 9th on Stranger Records b/w “Blue Jeans”.
