Singer and songwriter Lana Del Rey has been weaving her webs of narrative songs since 2005, but it was in 2011 that she came to prominence with the single "Video Games," which became a viral sensation via YouTube. Known for the cinematic quality of her songs, Del Rey's touchstones include vintage Hollywood and Americana imagery within her music videos.
After the attention that "Video Games" sparked, Lana Del Rey made her major label debut with 2012's Born to Die, which included the single "Summertime Sadness." Having spent years working towards her major label release, the album is widely recognizable for its portrait of Del Rey on the cover. It has been released in various limited edition vinyl presses, such as the opaque red version of the Born To Die Target Exclusive LP Vinyl, which coordinates with the cover image. Born to Die was Del Rey's first of six number-one albums on the U.K. charts, and it opened the doors for various awards and nominations, including an MTV Video Music Award, Brit Awards, and Grammy nominations.
Following the success of Born to Die, Lana Del Rey has gone on to release over ten studio albums, continuing to top the charts and collaborating with other major artists. With the success and accolades she has received, Del Rey has been able to express the maximum of her creativity, issuing the Lust for Life EP on heart-shaped red vinyl. For those who lust after these limited edition rarities but may be lacking in the ability to play them, the perfect electronics like a turntable and top quality headphones are a must.
