Paradise Vinyl LP pressing. 2012 eight-song mini-album from the New York-based singer, songwriter, and performer, the follow-up to her enormously successful “Born to Die” album. Lana Del Rey has described herself as a “gangsta Nancy Sinatra” and cites Britney Spears, Thomas Newman, and Bruce Springsteen as her musical influences. Her direct influences were visual as well as musical; David Lynch, soundtracks for ’50s black and white movies, the whirring sound of the Ferris wheel at Coney Island, and fame itself.
