Number 6's Blog

Listened to a Lana Del Rey song by chance the other day and remembered she did a titled “Love” a few years back I really loved. Therefore on a whim I listened to her Apple Music Essentials.

My favorite of all her tunes was “Video Games” which I liked even more than “Love”. That led me to googling for Lana’s best songs. “Video Games” was Number 1 on Rolling Stone. “Love” did not fare as well coming in at 33 – definitely not their favorite

She definitely has a Style of her own. You have to be in the correct mood to listen to her. My guess is either a teenager going through what teenagers go through (however, not the angry young boy type) or just late a night with the lights off, a glass of scotch, and in a melancholy mood.

Her music is very sparse but with solid instrumentals. Since I have been working on audio the last few years I have a much greater appreciation for the music and tend to ignore the singer. Her arrangements are excellent. And I will be listening to her more in the future.
