Lana Del Rey, 'Video Games'

Meet Lana Del Rey, part modern popstress, part old hollywood starlet. Lana, nee Lizzy Grant, recently dropped the video for her debut single -- the smoky, sensual "Video Games."

She exudes confidence in the vein of Nancy Sinatra, though perhaps more subtle. Set against a set of dark, swirling strings, she patiently delivers teases like "Heaven is a place on earth where you/ tell me all the things you want to do," or "I heard you like the bad girls, honey/ is that true?" This is one of the sexiest songs we've heard all year, and we mean that in a purely musical sense.

The music video is a wonderfully diverse array of found footage ranging from paparazzi video, old movies, and of course video games. Check it out below.

I actually thought that with the video game tag i was going to find out that she was a digital creation like Aki Ross. In these pictures she has that sort of look.

Beautiful voice but I actually didn't think much about the song. Hopefully, she will find better song writes because this sounds like a lounge version of some future katy perry song.

She'd be pretty good if it weren't for that frightening upper lip.

Maybe she was in a fight before the shoot.

If I asked her, she'd probably say "You shoulda seen the other gal!"

My thought exactly....it looks grotesquely out of proportion to the rest of her face. At one point in the video it almost looks CGI for comedic effect

Pretty deformed looking, but at least it should be a relatively simple plastic surgery fix.
