BEFORE: BIGBANG
In 2011, we found love with Rihanna in a hopeless place, but in 2012, Lana Del Rey stretched hopeless romanticism across a sun-kissed American landscape of deserts, truck stops, and dive bars, all with a runaway motorcycle gang, bookended with spoken-word voiceover narration that put the sensation of freedom into languid, Lana-fied poetry. Is that an angel dropping down from heaven on a tire swing to enlighten us about the virtues of belonging to nothing and finding a home on the open road? Oh no, it's just Lana Del Rey. Watch and listen...she's EVERYTHING.
