As NME points out, internet punching bag Lana Del Rey recently let her album title slip when she was doing an interview with the French TV show Taratata. The singer’s Interscope debut, due next year, will be called Born 2 Die, which means that this is now the title track. (Also, Taratata would be a pretty good Lana Del Rey album title.)
As Pitchfork points out, Del Rey also recently told the British newspaper The Sun that she’s working on a “Born 2 Die” video and that it’ll have a tiger in it. “Tigers don’t come cheap,” she notes. Obviously, this is awesome news, and it hopefully means that she’s drawing inspiration from Nas’s “Hate Me Now” video. She also says, “It’s a controversial video.” Uh, Lana? You can’t just call something “controversial” when nobody’s actually seen it. That’s so lame! That’s how people end up making pieces of rote provocation like, um, Nas’s “Hate Me Now” video.
Gucci this, Fendi that. What you expect, yo?

An early January release and this much hype already built around her has the makings of Vampire Weekend debut album proportions.
stop baiting us
I’ve got a controversial comment on the way.
good thing you got your daily lana del rey post up, stereogum!!! i really love reading about the same person a couple times a week. billy corgan and courtney love just tweeted something controversial too, let us know about it. this comment took me a while to write! has lana del rey done anything in the last 10 minutes?
I like her lip sunglasses. Interscope’s marketing PR dept = A+
oh, and i just counted, out of the 20 weekdays that stereogum has posted in november, we’ve got lana del rey posts six times!!! keep it up, gum, and you’ll top your 8 lana del rey posts from october! you could break a record and steer this blog straight into the indie rock tabloid territory even further. makes for great reading every few days.
I am fascinated by this girl, and could easily read a post a day about her feelings about Occupy Wall Street, or the unrest in Syria. Beautiful voice, beautiful girl.
Lana Del Rey, she’s alright.
