If American Apprel made music… Lana Del Rey
…not only does she sing about jeans and shirts, write music that is that do-wops vibe that’s been fashionable for ages now, lift ideas directly from Chris Isaak (who is a genius) and try to sound like Kate Bush… but her videos are done vintage stylee, but they’re skaters in american apprel hats - which by the way, is pretty modern in the 80s (ok, those boys surface in song Video Games, which is a soft ballad number, yes, really, it’s called Video Games - cool beans). The whole thing is bloody revolting. It’s like the Rhianna video that just picked as many ‘cool’ things as possible and plonked them in a video in a tick box fashion, directed by the douches at AA… Who do i write to to complain about this? Anyone?
…But the song Blue Jeans is alright like - I think she’s aiming for a Tarantino sound track, cool huh? Plus its plastered all over the big guns in radio (that’s 1, 2 and 6) so I guess I ought to cheer up a bit.
Maybe avoid watching the videos. but listen to the track (yo).
