Well it's a lot harder but more profitable conquering Europe. I mean, Taylor is local whereas Rihanna is used more in Europe than US. Europeans will shed out loads of money to see concerts, whereas the US won't. Once you conquer England, Germany, Spain etc, and your music is being played in the clubs, you are laughing.
Her people are playing it exactly right IMO. Get her big in Europe first then see about conquering the ridiculously narrow minded US pop stations 9to be fair, though, they've been taught a lesson in having to play what the public wants by Adele this year). We'll see if the strategy pays off. If the rumoured SNL slot becomes reality I think she will blow up overnight like Adele 3 years ago...
I know it's too early for me to talk about this,but I'm glad that Summertime Sadness is going to be the next single. It's a good follow up.
i think i need to listen to it more. its not as good as her previous singles. Do you know if "on our way" will be on her album? i really love that song. I always imagine a 50s style video, like riding in a convertible and lounging at the beach.

Lol at the posters on the other threads comparing her to Adele! I love both Adele and Lana but see absolutely ZERO common ground in their music, voice, image, marketing etc etc. Too VERY different artists. Such a weird comparison to make.

Well Anne Boleyn was married to Henry VIII, and was Queen of England for a while. The story is kind of long and complex, but she ended up being beheaded on charges of adultery. In other words, love got her killed.
Newcomer Lana Del Rey has released her first proper music video for the title track to her forthcoming debut album, Born to Die (out Jan. 31) and it’s a hot one.
In the clip, directed by Woodkid (nee Yoann Lemoine, the French music video director whose work includes Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and Taylor Swift's "Back to December"), turns up her already off-the-chart sex appeal as she straddles a tattooed love interest while wearing extra-short Daisy Dukes and a bikini top. The two share what looks to be a joint (the accompanying lyric: "Let's go get high") and many tongue-heavy kisses as they drive into a fiery blaze.
Those dark scenarios are contrasted with a scene where Del Rey sits in a gothic cathedral, two tigers at the base of her throne. Her lips, the subject of some controversy as to whether or not they’ve been artificially plumped, are well-padded with cherry red lipstick and she wears a white, flowing gown.
Other scenes include a bedroom scenario where Del Rey looks more Ann-Margret than ever. Del Rey herself created the concept, says her rep.
