Lorde may be talking smack about my girl Lana lately, but I'll never have anything bad to say about her. who cares about that lush opulent feeling from her music? That's what gives it its edge, people! Lana gives everything she does an rich depth, just like our very own gangster Nancy Sinatra should be. We've got the short film Tropico coming out soon, which is something to look forward to, and a third album that may or may not happen to boot, but at least we've got a lot of older work that makes the up-in-the-air notion of her future a little better feeling. Take her Paradise EP for example, and a nice good song like "American." That's all we need, right?
"American" has that old-world Americana charm that always gets me drooling when I listen to Lana's work. This woman is nothing but an artist, the world is her muse, and our ears are her canvas. "American" could have been in The Great Gatsby movie just as much as "Young and Beautiful" was, if you ask me, but it also has a hint of the Born To Die sound in it too. This EP was serious growth from her major label debut, and "American" is that delicious cherry on top of a cherry sundae. Opulent? Lush? I wouldn't have it any other way.
