In the earlier days, Lana had a lot more songs about appreciating the simpler things in lifeРІР‚вЂњTrash Magic and Back To Tha Basics come to mind especially. This was the first song off of this album that I ever heard I think it was in some edit on Instagram. Side A, Track Two: Queen of the Gas Station Probably the most definitive song of the Lizzy Grant РІР‚СљsoundРІР‚Сњ. If I could assign this song one word, it would be РІР‚СљswirlРІР‚Сњ. The whispering in the back vocals during the bridge is chilling, and the barely audible РІР‚Сљone, two, make it funРІР‚Сњ at the very end of the song is haunting. IРІР‚в„ўm kind of a sucker for organ already, but the way it was used in the second verse is entirely perfect for the vibe of the songРІР‚вЂњit reminds me of going to church in the American south. The beat gives the song this 50s-surf rhythm, and the way she sings is reminiscent of a noir movieРІР‚в„ўs token femme fatale, going from sweetly malevolent during the verse to dark and lamenting during the chorus. The intro (РІР‚Сљbound up the stairsРІР‚В¦РІР‚Сњ all the way to РІР‚Сљdo you know I am going to leave you?РІР‚Сњ) lures you in and lulls you, and then the chorus kicks in and itРІР‚в„ўs like youРІР‚в„ўre falling. This song reminds me of the first few moments you get home after a long night on the tiles. IРІР‚в„ўve put links to the videos of the songs in the titles of them if youРІР‚в„ўd like to listen to them while readingРІР‚вЂњas with any link I ever put, theyРІР‚в„ўll be in red. It was recorded throughout 2007, and it was mastered in February 2008, so it just kinda sat there for a couple years. Lizzy Grant is the name that Lana previously performed under (and her birth name) and was put in the title so those who were her fans previously could recognize her under the new name. It was digitally released on January 4th, 2010 by Five Points Records.

In part two, IРІР‚в„ўll review the physical vinyl that I received and its quality, rated on a scale of P (poor) to M (mint), and let yРІР‚в„ўall know whether or not I recommend a record collecteur (such as myself) should buy it.Р”Р„ brief introduction to AKA Lizzy Grant: it is Lana Del ReyРІР‚в„ўs debut studio album, although it was released under a slightly different name, Lana Del Ray, with an A.

So! Since this is a New Thing that IРІР‚в„ўm doing here, hereРІР‚в„ўs whatРІР‚в„ўs gonna go down: IРІР‚в„ўll review the actual songs one by one, then the album as a whole. If I could ensure the continued existence of only one album in the history of music, it would be this one, and IРІР‚в„ўm only half kidding. Ohhh my god IРІР‚в„ўm so excited to do this, AKA is my favorite album of LanaРІР‚в„ўs. ALRIGHT! IT IS TIME.FINALLYРІР‚В¦FOR THE LONG OVERDUE ALBUM REVIEW OFРІР‚В¦.
