Lana Del Rey's 'Burning Desire' goes viral
Indie | Friday 15th February 2013 | Thisbe
Doe eyed songstress Lana Del Rey, real name Lizzy Grant is causing a stir with the video for latest tune ‘Burning Desire’. Available as a bonus track on the iTunes edition of 2012 reissue Born To Die – The Paradise Edition.
Since going viral the latest offering has been attacked for its obvious product placement, Lana recently signed up to be the face of Jaguar’s new sports car. Profit scheming aside, it is an appropriate tribute to her signature sultry style of songwriting. Although not at her best with ‘Burning Desire’ and perhaps just calling Jaguar’s influence on the video ‘product placement’ is a bit of an understatement, it has already racked up over a quarter of a million views on YouTube.
Consequentially for Lana, an artist who clearly aims to break boundaries with her music, controversy is an old friend, and one that she seems to use to her advantage with ease. The hype around ‘Burning Desire’ is sure to be another fitting example of her revolutionary prowess over the music industry.
