Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey has established herself as a successful singer-songwriter, known for her distinctive musical style and evocative storytelling. After the viral success of her self-made music video for ‘Video Games’ on YouTube in 2011, Lana Del Rey quickly established herself as a global musical phenomenon. This breakthrough led to a recording deal with Stranger Records, followed by a joint deal with Interscope Records and Polydor later that year. Her second studio album, Born to Die, released in 2012, achieved massive commercial success, topping charts in 11 countries and selling 3.4 million copies in its debut year.

By 2023, it became only the second album by a woman to spend over 500 weeks on the US Billboard 200. During this period, Del Rey received critical acclaim, including a Q award for ‘Next Big Thing’ (2011), an Ivor Novello for ‘Best Contemporary Song’ (2012), and the Brit Award for International Female Solo Artist (2013). She also unveiled the Jaguar F-Type at the Paris Motor Show in 2012 and performed on Saturday Night Live. Del Rey continued her prolific output with a string of critically and commercially successful albums, including Ultraviolence (2014), Honeymoon (2015), and Lust for Life (2017).

Further showcasing her genre versatility, Del Rey is set to release her country album, Stove, in 2026, alongside a collaboration with The Weeknd on ‘The Abyss’ in 2025.
