Lana Del Rey - Ride (Active Child Remix)

Lana Del Rey - Ride (Active Child Remix)

Although I'm not a massive fan of Lana Del Rey's music (don't get me wrong, I like a couple of her tracks a lot), I do have a soft spot for her beatiful voice. Active Child makes wonderful use of her voice in this chilled out remix of her latest single "Ride". I genuinely perfer this over the original, check it out.

Patrick Wolf - Born To Die (Lana Del Rey Cover)

Patrick Wolf - Born To Die

I'm a little late with this one, but it's such a beautiful cover I just had to post it. Better late than never I say. Patrick Wolf has done an amazing job here. Enjoy.

Lana Del Rey feat. Azealia Banks - 'Blue Jeans' (Smims & Belle extended remix)

When two of the biggest acts of 2012 collaborate to cover a track which has already been a smasher, we're hardly going to skim over it. This has been in the pipeline for weeks, to the point where we were losing faith, but the duo delivered and banzai, Lana and Azealia bring us this new take on 'Blue Jeans'.

As if this project wasn't exciting enough, the track has involved some staggeringly big names. Under the alias Smims & Belle, Mark Foster and Isom Innis of Foster the People have taken on a sideline job, ripping this track up and in the process have proved it can be regurgitated as something utterly unrecognisable from the original.

2012 is looking up!

Lana Del Rey - 'Born To Die' (Official Video)

And now for round 2 of Lana Del Rey! On Tuesday I posted the Mulberry Session for Lana Del Rey's track "Born To Die", and now the official video has just been released. You can tell Interscope have really dug deep into their pockets for this one. Visually the video is quite impressive - I'm loving how vivid the colours are but the video as a whole is quite boring.

Vocally I prefer the Mulberry Session over the official track, I just don't feel there's the same emotion in her voice. Definitely worth a watch, if at least to compare.

“My writing process … it’s been the same for a very long time. I never feel rushed. I never feel pressure. I really have a strong idea about what I like to hear and myself write and sing,”

Lana Del Rey - 'Born To Die' (Mulberry Session)

Check out this video of Lana Del Ray performing a stripped-down version of her forthcoming single "Born To Die". The video was captured over the weekend, poolside at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood. She has a fantastic voice, there's no doubt about that, but everything I've heard from her since "Video Games" is slightly disappointing - however this video is an exception. This stripped-down version of the track really allows you to focus on her amazing voice.

Lana Del Ray's debut album is due out on January 30th and the single "Born To Die" is out January 23rd.

Lana Del Rey 'Video Games (Jamie Woon Remix)'

Check out this whacky remix of the recently posted "Video Games" track by Lana Del Rey. Personally, I don't think it comes close to the original but I do still like it nonetheless - mainly for the layered pitch-shifted vocals throughout, making this a really interesting take on a great track.

Check it out below.
