Lana Del Ray - both versions of new single Born To Die

Another blogger writes more words about LDR..."This is just mesmeric. More produced. Less immediate (not that the last one was exactly pop-obvious). Very slightly emasculated, as she now offers to "kiss" as opposed to "fuck you hard in the pouring rain". She has at least two voices, one all sliding away and knowing, the other sugar-girl-twee. This came from the record company entitled 'official video' but is captioned 'official video coming soon'. What's that? I think there will be another version along shortly with tame wild beasts or something, but this version works brilliantly. Lana looks sulky and sultry and defiant as her eyes either lazily close or POP OPEN in some sort of infinite loop

 It certainly answers the question about Video Games - you know, the obvious one about whether there'd be any more where that came from"......
