Om Lana del Rey

23. juni 2014

“What I adore about Del Rey is that she captures the paradox of attempting to seek liberation through ultimately enslaving obsession. She loves her men as a junkie needs a fix, as supplicant needs a miracle. And although she looks to them for salvation, she’s met with sickness because she romanticizes destructive forces that fortunately cannot last — love like lightning, sex like tornadoes, pillow talk like thunder. It takes a certain kind of genius to be that foolhardy.”

Med disse ord afslutter Baary Walters sin artikel om kunstneren Lana Del Rey. Og jeg synes, han meget fint får sat ord på den aura af dekadence, der har svævet omkring det unge stjernefrø, siden hun brød igennem med “Video Games”, og som så at sige udgør hendes kunstneriske vandmærke. Denne aura har også gjort, at jeg længe har haft lidt svært ved at gouttere Lana Del Rey, men Walters artikel har gjort det lettere.
