Other Videos:
Before Lana became signed to her label, she used to make and edit her own videos:

That’s the world I live in. I was never very good all the way up front, but behind the scenes I always did a good job because I always knew what to do, I knew how to match the visuals with the music. That is something I feel excited about, hopefully that will become where things go in the future.

[SecretMoblin]

If it has the same amount of ridiculous, over the top production, cynical posturing, and bizarre vocal affectations as the original, then consider this bought.

BTD surprised me in a very good way.

 

[Mau ®]

Great OP!

 

[Trigger]

Amazing OP. Lana's production is top notch, so I'm going to be all ears.

 

[Artemisia]

Did that bee sting her lips?

Spoiler

the op is hawt. good work!

 

[Koodo]

Stunning OP, fitting for the Dalai Lana.

SHE IS COMING.

 

[Switters]

Lol. Wtf. Why not just come out with a new album? Also, what Mehblin said.

 

[royalan]

FLAWLESS OP.

Born To Die is easily one of the best albums of the year, so I'm def here for this.

 

[Alrus]

Wait so the Serial Killer song that was leaked a while ago isn't on it? It was so good ;_;

Anyway I'm really excited for this, Born to Die was amazing!

 

[lunch]

I had no idea this existed, and now that I know that it doesn't come out for another two months, I wish I still didn't.

 

[SecretMoblin]

FLAWLESS OT.

Born To Die is easily one of the best albums of the year, so I'm def here for this.

Even in pop, it has a lot of competition...

It's great, though.

 

[Aguila]

I had no idea this existed, and now that I know that it doesn't come out for another two months, I wish I still didn't.

Well, she will have 3 new singles out by tomorrow (Blue Velvet, Burning Desire, and Ride) so you can get those while you wait for the full release.

 

[Kyon]

Flawless GODDESS and FULL TIME SLAYER of your FAVES.

I'm going to buy BTD AGAIN and then some. The cover is completely devoid of flaws.

#Dead

 

[DominoKid]

sweet. glad she blew up.

-French Montana, another up and coming rapper, has also announced a collab with Lana.

fuck yeah. french montana is that dude.

 

[JCX]

Great OT. You forgot Lana's DIY video for Off To The Races

 

[Insane Metal]

I love her voice. Amazing OP.

 

[gdt]

9 new songs? shiiiiit thats alot.

I'll definitely spin that new stuff when its out. Why not just release it as an EP? I guess a major re-release gets more hype though.

 

[Koodo]

Crying at Yayo being included on the re-release. They better not mess with that song too much, it's sublime as is.

Burning Desire is great. Can't wait to hear it in HQ.

 

[tj hazuki]

Amazing.

 

[xxczx]

love her but I'm really getting tired of artists re-releasing albums, but 9 new songs make up for it so well done Lana.

 

[Kusagari]

Holy shit, nine new songs?

November is too far away!

 

[JCX]

love her but I'm really getting tired of artists re-releasing albums, but 9 new songs make up for it so well done Lana.

Was that a big thing before The Fame Monster? Before that I remember extended albums with a few extra tracks or remixes, but not like a full, cohesive addition like TFM was to The Fame.

 

[Revolver]

I've listened to BTD way more than I thought I would. It's one of my favorite albums released this year, haters be damned.

I'm surprised Serial Killer, Damn You and Backfire aren't on the re-release though.

Great OT. You forgot Lana's DIY video for Off To The Races

Did she do that one? It looks kinda off.

Album preview.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpJUm5C07_0

It seems so, I added it to OP.

The Body Electric snippet. #dead.

 

[xxczx]

my pussy tastes like pepsi cola

 

[Supermanisdead]

Yesss, I'm ready for this. Born to Die is my favourite album in a long, long time. I really wish she would have done a video for Dark Paradise or Radio, though.

November 12th, so far away

 

[Osietra]

Anal is an anagram of Lana. She's pretty much the Gaga for a specific emographic.

 

[Koodo]

Album preview.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpJUm5C07_0

My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola.

 

[gdt]

Did she just sing "my pussy tastes like pesi cola" in that preview? huh?

Songs sound good though.

 

[Aguila]

lmao. She put the real title of Cola in her description.

RIDE*PUSSY*AMERICAN*GODS & MONSTERS* BODY ELECTRIC*BLUE VELVET*BEL AIR*YAYO

 

[Solo]

MY PUSSY TASTES LIKE PEPSI COLA

Truly a wordsmith!

 

[JCX]

Did she do that one? It looks kinda off.

It seems so, I added it to OP.

The Body Electric snippet. #dead.

Yeah, she posted it in December, then it was set to private right before BTD came out. It's my favorite of hers besides Videogames.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Hmm, the snippets somehow manage to sound more mournful than the old songs. No other popstar can ruin my day like Lana Del Rey, and I love her for it.

 

[SaintZ]

From the little snippet Yayo seems to be the old version of the song. Also, what happened to "Will You Love Me...?" I'm surprised none of these songs were leaked before.

Yeah, she posted it in December, then it was set to private right before BTD came out. It's my favorite of hers besides Videogames.

Ok, I'll add it later tonight! (alongside with Mermaid Motel and Hundred Dollar Bill. I'm missing those too).

PS : Probably hyper late but I don't care

 

[JCX]

Body Electric snippet was killer.

 

[Aguila]

I can't stop listening to the preview...

*writhing on the floor*

I need this naow.

 

[Ratrat]

She looks rediculously horrible in the h&m ads. Frightening!

"My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola"

Umm, she might want to have that checked by a doctor. Congratulations to Pepsi on the endorsement deal I guess. Rest of the songs sound nice though.

 

[Kyoufu]

What the fuck at the Pussy Cola line....

 

[Agent Ironside]

The previews sound fantastic. Between this and the upcoming Ellie Goulding album, good times ahead.

 

[Supermanisdead]

She looks rediculously horrible in the h&m ads. Frightening!

Wrong. She looks flawless, as always.

 

[fuenf]

wow that preview video is adorable, i would like to confirm that pepsi line, though.

 

[tj hazuki]

I need Ride. NOW. Sounds like a pop classic

 

[BlazingDarkness]

The previews sound great

 

[Kusagari]

Oh god at that Pepsi line.

I love you Lana.
