Review: Lana Del Rey "Born To Die"
It seems that everyone has an opinion about the viral sensation that few knew existed a month ago, Lana Del Rey. And while many of her critics slam her for the awkward and off-putting performance she delivered on Saturday Night Live a couple of weeks ago, the fact remains that she’s one of the most talked about artists that have emerged seemingly – and arguably – out of obscurity.

First Listen: Lana Del Rey "Without You"
With just days from the release of Born To Die, the debut album from Lana Del Rey, another track surfaces on Tragic Kingdom. Serving as a preview of what’s to come from the Deluxe Version of the beautiful debut from the singer, enjoy this first listen of “Without You”.
