Lana Del Rey | Born 1985

Lana Del Rey is noted for her stylized, cinematic quality of music. She is also remarkable for her exploration of themes of tragic romance, glamor, and melancholia, containing references to pop culture, particularly the 1950s and 1960s Americana. Raised in upstate New York, Del Rey called a moving company to New York City to launch her music career in 2005. Following several projects, including her eponymous debut studio album, her breakthrough came in 2011 with the success of her debut single, Video Games.

In 2019, the 36-year-old songstress released the single Don’t Call Me Angel in collaboration with Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande for the soundtrack of the 2019 film Charlie’s Angels. Her follow-up releases contained the poetry collection and spoken word album. Del Rey has an upcoming eighth studio album called Blue Banisters, which is set for release this year.
