Sometimes lauded but nevertheless hugely talented, Lana Del Rey caused a stir when she dropped this song (and the accompanying video). Her gangster moll shtick can be a bit tiresome but when you dig past the facade, you have a beautifully tender voice, capable of emotive highs and lows and with enough grit and growl to not be packaged with throwback soul singers.
“Video Games” is a genuinely different track, standing out from most modern day pop – it has a genuinely timeless feel that worldwide sales of 2 million plus deserve.
