“National Anthem” and “This Is What Makes Us Girls,” two more tracks from Lana Del Rey’s forthcoming debut Born To Die, leaked online. The former’s not a Radiohead cover, so we can all breathe easy. Instead, it joins “Off To The Races” on the list of LDR songs with big, awkward quasi-rap beats. Universal Music Group has been jerking any and all versions of the track from YouTube, but you can listen to both at ohmyrock.net.
Born To Die is out 1/30 on Interscope (tracklist below). And if you’re looking for further reasons to hate Del Rey, please note that she’s recently signed a contract with Next Modelling Agency, which means she is now a colleague of fellow Next client Jessie J.

“give me a standing oh-vay-shee-yuhh-yunnnn”
LOVE HER.
a person as a national anthem? she is just too postmodern brah
Ok I missed the boat on Lana Del Ray and don’t really understand what’s going on.. do people like this chick? Why is she on stereogum every day when people supposedly hate her? I’m confused…
overexposed. One good song, “Video Games,” and she’s running on fumes. she suxxx.
wrong, research, she’s got lots of good tracks, way more than 90% of the indie bands pimped for on this site actually…TRUE.
Well, if you don’t want her to be posted about, don’t comment on articles about her.
Hey, I like her better than the fucking Black (eyed) Keys
Why are you concerned with what other people think of her? Make up your own mind & listen to a few songs…”Born to Die”, “Video Games”, “Blue Jeans”.
Personally, I like “Born to Die”.

Michael_ is Coming
Wait, we’re supposed to critique the artistic merits of Lana Del Rey in 2012 too?! My comment section contract clearly states that it was a 2011 deal only.
I really love what she’s done with the Radiohead track, though. She’s really made it her own by letting in the sunshine and bringing out a feel good U.S.A. vibe that was otherwise hidden beneath Thom Yorke millennial paranoia in the Kid A classic.
Decently surprised that you don’t hate everything about her. [Exit Michael_.]
It was an implied contractual term. You will find the relevant language in Section 5b re: “Lots and lots of up-/down-votes”
Someone in here hasn’t heard of sarcasm. Hint: Michael_ was indeed hating on Lana Del Ray).
I was actually bummed she didn’t try a Radiohead cover because I’d love to see people say “I think it’s better than the original” [spine-tingling cringe at the thought].
The sarcasm wasn’t lost on me. I was playing along with the joke that LDR posts garner all the comments. I don’t know how that’s not clear.
National anthem is a rip of Nirvana In Bloom
I mean, it’s a song. Whatever. Not terrible, not great, kind of trite lyrics, similar to all of her other stuff. It would be nice if ‘better’ music were as heavily hyped, but she’s got major label $ behind her, so mehr. Such is life.
Her music sounds the like soundtrack to some crappy CW show.
She is running out of ideas on her first album already and has to sample Videogames on a song that comes out on the same record?
Seriously, do you guys get paid to post about her?
The perpetually unanswered question.
no, but you, me, and everybody else is going to read and comment every time the do, so ah no doy they’re going to keep posting about her
ok, as much as i agree she was created in a lab to destroy us all, she got me with “pabst blue ribbon on ice”
She did? Wow.
In all fairness, she also got Dennis Hopper with that [and he is dead!]

overproduced again!!!! why don’t they go back to the production that made video games awesome.
wait why does this exist exactly?
This Is What Makes Us Girls sounds like another ‘just some prat who sounds like radiohead, not actual radiohead’ story in the making if you ask me
Trying to get the ‘lowest comment of the week’ honor so here it goes:
lAna del ray? More like Lana DEl GAY!! AmIRight!!???
This did not work out the way I planned….
who?
Lips Del Ray.
I can’t BELIEVE the way the internet works these days. One ok but carefully calculated song, multi-nationals mining blogs for who has the most hits, producers swoop, money exchanged, an over-ambitious but plebian retard fills an album out with utterly inconsequential garbage, eschews integrity (didn’t have any anyway, evidenced by the face) for the acquisition of fame/money/modelling contracts. Lana wins, Universal wins, blogs operating on the pretence of being critical LOSE, and this stuff simply exists. Pitchfork and Stereogum are just digital versions of TV Hits / Smash HIts magazines, trading in superficial images and recirculating the same old signs. My GOODNESS, go away, all of you!
Just out of curiosity, what is your source that either of these songs will be on the album? Both have been around for ages – I found them back in June and they were advertised as old then. They fit in much better with some of her old poppier stuff than the tracks on Born to Die – I really can’t see her putting either of these on the album.
That track listing also looks suspect. Where is ‘Without You’ for example, which Del Rey said would be on her album at her Toronto show…?

MINUS MINUS MINUS!! there…phew, now i can breath…(pats self on back)
I don’t really understand all the vitriol against this girl. She is no different than any other label made pop star.
yeah but stereogum aint coverin’ every god damn katy perry demo leak, are they?
I come for the Lana del Rey comments only, at this point.
From Lana:
“the versions of National Anthem and This Is What makes Us Girls that have been leaked are demos + sound nothing like they do on the album”
THANK YOU, i knew that couldn’t be the album version of National Anthem…
I think this is pretty bad compared both this: http://www.lowerfrequencies.com/2011/12/lana-del-ray-born-to-die/ and this: http://www.lowerfrequencies.com/2011/10/lana-del-ray-video-games/
Wow everything I just listened to of hers was terrible. No thanks.
Those are some sick beatz, homie! A collaboration with Pink seems like the logical next step. I can’t wait to hear that hourly on every super awesome top 40 radio station that Washington DC offers me!!! ;-)
