First Listen: Lana Del Rey "National Anthem"
When you saw this post you probably thought either:a) holy smokes, enough of Lana Del Rey already, orb) hell yes! Just post the whole album already! Only weeks until the release of Born To Die, the debut album from Lana Del Rey, and another track arrived this morning in my inbox. This time, it’s the record’s final track “National Anthem”. No, it’s not the country’s patriotic tune, nor a take on the Radiohead masterpiece. The track does in fact have an anthemic hook (“Tell me I’m your national anthem”), but the verses are Ke$ha inspired talk/rap combined with Del Rey’s signature pouty vocal. Listen to the track below and stay…

Best Of 2011: Top 10 Songs
2011 was quite a year for music – some of the biggest albums of our time hit the shelves, legends were made, and newcomers burst onto the scene with feverous vengeance. Listed below are the top ten tracks Tragic Kingdom played on repeat all year long. 10. Foster the People: Pumped Up Kicks. These electronic rockers had a big year and whether you liked it or not, you had to bob your head to the controversial single that seemed to play every 5 minutes on radio all over the country. It’ll be interesting to see where these guys take their next project, but for now let’s retire this catchy number…

It’s clear that 2012 is going to be the year of Lana Del Rey.

And on the newly leaked track, “Off To the Races”, it’s easy to see why she’s causing so much buzz. Listen to the track below and check back for more from Lana Del Rey.

Wednesday Wrap-Up: Stronger Edition
As the music industry begins to slow down for the holiday, news is trickling out about what’s to come in 2012. Already the year seems to be buzzing with new talent arriving, like Lana Del Rey, Youth Lagoon and more. As well as a slew of new releases from some of music’s biggest names.

And popping up today, is the new video from Kelly…

First Listen: Lana Del Rey
If I had to make an early prediction of who’d be the biggest new star in 2012, it would be Lana Del Rey. Del Rey jumped up on my radar a few weeks ago, but it wasn’t until this week that I fell in love with her music and just can’t seem to get enough of the self-proclaimed “gangsta Nancy Sinatra”. Lizzy Grant – Lana Del Rey is her stage name comprised of her idols Lana Turner and Ford Del Rey – has been buzzing since her EP for first singles “Video Games” and “Blue Jeans” reached the top five on the US iTunes Albums Chart hours after its release.…
