REVIEW: CHERYL COLE - A MILLION LITTLE LIGHTS (DELUXE EDITION)

Cheryl Cole, the former (and presumably future) Girls Aloud member is rocking the UK again with her #1 single Call My Name, had the fastest selling #1 single this year so far with that song, has recently given up on taking over America, and has released her third full length solo album, A Million Little Lights, which debuted at #2 in the UK behind that pesky Justin Bieber. Ha. Busy, busy girl!!

LANA DEL REY IS JACKIE KENNEDY & MARILYN IN NEW VIDEO...

Lana Del Rey is sure to stir up some attention with her new video for the fourth single from her excellent Born to Die album, National Anthem. The sultry singer takes the roles of both Jacqueline Kennedy and Marily Monroe, singing Happy Birthday, Mr. President pretty damn well, while JFK is portrayed by A$AP Rocky (I have no idea). Shot in a very retro-60's way, the video features some rose

NEW LANA DEL REY VIDEO: BLUE JEANS

Lana del Rey released a video for this song a while ago, but it was in the self- made, hodge-podge style of her Video Games video. THIS is the official, label-funded video for Blue Jeans. Directed by Yoann Lemoine, this black and white, moody (duh), vintage looking, pool-side video features a remixed intro, a male model with a twist and Lana looking gorgeous (again, duh). Whatcha think? I

SNL LAMPOONS AND DEFENDS LANA DEL REY. PLUS HER DAVID LETTERMAN PERFORMANCE

Kristen Wiig does it again!!! Oscar nominee Kristen Wiig (I love saying that) appeared on SNL's Weekend Update segment this weekend as controversial singer Lana Del Rey. In what at first seemed to be a dis at Del Rey, the sketch turned out to be a pretty strong argument in defense of the singer. Wiig spoke up about her name change, the questionable performers who have appeared on the show before

REVIEW: LANA DEL REY - BORN TO DIE

The much discussed, much argued about, and much anticipated Lana Del Rey's album, Born to Die, leaked yesterday morning, just a week before it's official release. Oh, what the hell, I'm gonna go ahead and review this little nugget. Aside from the songs that I've already featured on here (Video Games & Born to Die) which I love, I haven't heard any other tunes by Lana Del Rey. Well, now I have,

IN DEFENSE OF LANA DEL REY

Poor girl. Lana Del Rey kinda blew it on SNL this weekend. Her awkward, pitchy performance did not make a good case for running out to purchase her debut album, Born to Die, due January 31st. I am going to defend her a little bit here (like the host of SNL that night Daniel Radcliffe did) because I think this performance was the exception as opposed to the rule for her. I have included a live

FREE MUSIC ON iTUNES NOW: LANA DEL REY - BORN TO DIE

The free single of the week on US iTunes now is the sure-to-be-a-superstar Lana Del Rey's new song Born to Die. I posted the video before, but I'll do it again so you can see if you wanna download for free and because it and she are gorgeous. Lana will be on SNL this weekend, the first artist since Natalie Imbruglia in 1998 to perform on the show before releasing an album. This song and her EP,

NEW MUSIC & VIDEO: LANA DEL REY: BORN TO DIE

Another good sign that a killer album is coming. Lana Del Rey has already given us the sublime Video Games and Blue Jeans, now she returns with thrones and tigers on Born To Die. Much like its predecessors, Born To Die is dreamy, slightly retro and sexy as all hell. The much discussed, criticized and hyped singer will be dropping her album in January and she is musical guest on Saturday Night

NEW-ISH MUSIC: LANA DEL REY - VIDEO GAMES

Lana del Rey is pretty new on the music scene. Since debuting a couple of videos on youtube, the singing sensation/controversial figure has caused quite a stir. Some call her a phony, saying she is the product of producers and managers changing her name (from Lizzy Grant) and her image to that of a retro-pinup girl. There is no denying however, IMHO, that this song, Video Games, is dazzling. It's
