![]() ![]() ![]() She was Twitter famous - Rebecca Black famous - which these days is more famous than you get by releasing a hit album. Some reviewers have called her new debut full-length, "Born to Die," “the album equivalent of a faked orgasm,” and others have deemed it “not just irritating but almost morally objectionable.” Others have praised “her preoccupation with Hollywood archetypes of American femininity” and called it “close to pop perfection.”īut thanks to the upstart pop star's disastrous performance on "Saturday Night Live" a few weeks ago, Del Rey inspired fountains of Internet ink dissecting her persona and the critical responses to her persona before most people even knew who she was - let alone had a chance to gripe about hearing her songs all the time. She’s too detached or just detached enough. Aside from the basic facts about Lana Del Rey - the most pertinent being that Del Rey is the stage name of Lizzy Grant, formerly a promising folk-pop singer with a so-so album under her own name and a millionaire father bankrolling her career - music writers can't seem to agree on anything at all.
