Lana del Rey - 'Born to Die: Paradise Edition'

Lana Del ReyBorn To Die: The Paradise EditionUniversal RecordsLana del Rey's Born To Die: Paradise Edition is an extension of her 2011 release, Born To Die, both released on Universal Records. With the addition of eight new singles, the sultry New York artist expands on her original material while remaining sonically familiar. We can expect to hear more Marilyn Monroe-inspired ballads in addition to upbeat tracks laced with the somber lyricism Del Rey is known for. The singer continues to keep an overall melancholy vibe with singles like “Ride” and “Blue Velvet” but still manages to captivate listeners with a sexy swagger. —Ciara Fortson[soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/2732902" params="" width=" 100%" height="450" iframe="true" /]
