Lana Del Rey

"I’m obsessed with her," she says. "And I feel like all of her songs are hits, even the ones that aren’t as big as the others" This Bronx baddie is a fan of the “Brooklyn Baby.” In a new Billboard interview that honors her as Hitmaker of the Year ahead of their annual Women in Music event, Ice Spice shared her love for some of her favorite artists, including the Born to Die queen herself, Lana Del Rey. “I would say Lana Del Rey,” Spice said when asked about her favorite hitmakers of all…

Track features on Jack Antonoff-produced soundtrack to 'The New Look' Lana Del Rey, she of the country club Chemtrails, has finally discovered “Blue Skies” — at least in the form of songwriter Irving Berlin’s 98-year-old standard.

It’s happening. That’s why Jack has followed me to…

The singer and songwriter shared a preview of the record on Instagram Lana Del Rey wants some man named Henry to at least try to be a little bit serious. On Thursday morning, the singer and songwriter previewed an unreleased song on Instagram with the caption: “Henry, Come On.” The brief snippet found the singer slipping into the role of a frustrated country/folk singer, crooning: “Do you think I’d really choose it? All of this off and on? Henry come on.” From the sound of it, Henry lacks…

For their performance, Bleachers performed “Alma Mater,” the recently-released single that moves between a hazy, torrid dreamscape and a noir-ish surge of late-night sax glory. Del Rey, unfortunately, was not on hand to provide backing vocals (as she does on the studio recording), but Antonoff did have a sample machine loaded up with some of her best…
