Thankyou Stronger. I really look forward to the album now. DAUM! Bitch slays me.
I haven't been this excited about a new artist since Gaga.

Gave a listen to a few songs. This girl is nothing special and I don't expect her to do that well, unless all of the behind-the-scenes machinations and modeling contract help. I'll stick to Fiona Apple and Tori Amos.

Her album is also up for pre-order in which you can pre-order the standard or deluxe editions at $7.99 and $11.99.

I just listened to "Born to Die" for the first time. Holy shit.
Based on that and "Video Games," I will be purchasing her album.

I love "Born to Die" & "Off to the Races" but I'm still not really sold on "Video Games" & "Blue Jeans" or her for that matter.
Edit: However, if she has songs that are just as "haunting" & brooding as BTD on her album then she may just have herself a new casual fan.

I'm considering pre-ordering, but I think I'll wait for the leak first to see if the other songs are up to par.

Bought her EP, though I just realized...I wonder if I'll have to repurchase those songs when the album comes out? Whatever. I love these songs.

The EP is flawless. I hadn't listened to any of these song prior to this morning, and I've really been missing out. All four songs are so good. Really looking forward to her album! Bought her EP, though I just realized...I wonder if I'll have to repurchase those songs when the album comes out? Whatever. I love these songs. I'm fairly certain you will. iTunes is not going to recognize the EP as a part of the complete my album feature.

I guess music is overdue for another vamp with pillowy lips now that Fiona has left the building. When she comes back, this Blanda del Rey will cease to exist.

Ok I understand one thing is not to like an artist but why would you stay in their thread and come for other members and their taste? I guess music is overdue for another vamp with pillowy lips now that Fiona has left the building. When she comes back, this Blanda del Rey will cease to exist. Pointless too. ... ... ... Yeah, I think a simple LOL will suffice... Actually, because I love the Billys so much, I'm going to give this chick a chance. Video Games actually wasn't that bad and Lord knows I love me some female chanteuses.

I'm either going to really be a big fan of this woman, or not care about her later down the line. I guess I'm just going to take a listen to the album stream on AOL or MySpace before the album comes out and see if I enjoy the rest of her music. Right now, though, I'm rather hooked on BTD. I keep playing it on YouTube everyday, and I can't get enough of it.

Her EP is currently up to #5 on US iTunes. Seems like giving away a song as stellar as Born To Die is not as mad as it first seems, lol.

Video Games is #74 on iTunes. Hope the SNL performance will give this and Born To Die a big push.

Her live performances have been pretty underwhelming thus far. Hopefully she improves in the near future.
Kinda disappointed that "Yayo" and to a lesser extent "Hundred Dollar Bill" didn't make the album. Hopefully the new material is as good or better.

I've only been disappointed by the performance on Jonathan Ross. I love these even if they're not technically "live":
