Lana Del Rey – Born To Die (CD)
Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die, released in 2012, was an instant statement of cinematic melancholy and self-styled Americana glamour that polarized critics but ultimately reshaped the sound of pop for the 2010s. Born Elizabeth Grant in New York City, Del Rey crafted her persona with a mix of noirish nostalgia and tragic romance, drawing on classic Hollywood and '60s girl group influences. The album was produced by a team that included Emile Haynie, Jeff Bhasker, and Rick Nowels, whose contributions gave Born to Die its lush, sweeping sound—combining orchestral arrangements with hip-hop beats and dreamlike atmospheres. Del Rey’s breakthrough singles “Video Games” and “Summertime Sadness” encapsulate the album’s blend of sad-core introspection and grandeur, painting a portrait of doomed love and glamorous excess. Though Born to Die initially sparked debate over its authenticity, its brooding aesthetic and Lana’s languid vocal delivery became a template for alt-pop and indie artists in the years that followed.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
