As someone who grew up listening to pop music regularly, whenever I discovered who Lana Del Rey was at the age of 17- my mind and my taste for soft, jazz pop was hooked.
The type of music that Lana produces is unlike any other. She is a brilliant producer of music; from utilizing string-like instruments, to carefully incorporating drum beats that can song like hip-hop in her soft sounds is unique and pleasing to the ear.
The storytelling that she portrays is extraordinary. Her lyrics and verses capture meaning that people who experience love, lust, and the feelings of heartbreak can relate to. She is a magnificent song writer, that is quite poetic.
The combination of her lyrics, along with the beats produced in her music make for a unique sound that many love. The softness in the guitars, violins, and other instruments like the chimes and jazz elements mixed with boastful sounds are exciting to see in a pop genre.
