Album reviews: Lana Del Rey, Prinzhorn Dance School, Ana Tijoux, SOJA

By Click Track


Lana Del Rey’s debut is nothing to get excited about. (Photo by Nicole Nodland/courtesy of Universal Music Group)In today’s Post, Chris Richards reviews the debut album by polarizing would-be pop superstar Lana Del Rey.

“But the central failure of ‘Born to Die’ isn’t Del Rey’s lack of vocal agility — it’s that her music doesn’t communicate actual feeling. Seemingly divorced from experience, or even imagination, her moody, melancholic music carries only the aura of emotion. It delivers glamour without mystery, desperation without consequence, escapism without destination.”

Also reviewed are new albums by minimalist U.K. post-punk duo Prinzhorn Dance School , French-Chilean MC Ana Tijoux and Northen Virginia bred reggae stars SOJA .
