I’d just like to point out that Lana Del Rey is not singular, either in her music or in regards to the buttons she’s pushed. She’s actually fairly typical of what pop often gives us these days, simply with a different veneer, a different method of distilling key elements of the culture’s sheet-rumpling dreams. Here’s a list of artists who might not share her most obvious attributes, but who nonetheless belong to the same conversation we’re having about LDR.
