If you’re confused and feel there’s something “too polished” or “too perfect” about her voice, her style, and her video, well there’s plenty of discussion about that:

We crave a popstar who is authentic, who thrives because of their talent, not PR. So when you stumble across someone like Lana Del Rey – her popularity apparently born online and growing per YouTube click – it’s hard not to be sceptical as to whether she’s actually too good to be true. Surely it can’t be that after posting just one song online, this brand new artist sold out a London gig in half an hour?
