Lana Del Rey has had a busy couple of years since her soulful voice caught our attention. However, speaking to Nylon magazine in their latest issue, she admits that she’s taking a well-earned break.
“Right now, I’m doing family and thinking about what I want to be doing. I’m enjoying living easily planting trees, things like that,” she says.
Speaking of family, her younger sister Chuck Grant is becoming widely recognised as a photographer. Lana says she loves working with her sister. “[During shoots,] we’ll talk about creating realities through creative and spiritual intention. I think of the photographs as a series of postcards that represent the different worlds we’ve created or been to – worlds we’ve spent a lot of time in.”
Her single Video Games was huge but its popularity came as somewhat of a surprise. “I know when I wrote it, I was in love with it – I sent it to everyone, saying, ‘Look! This is me in song form,’” she tells the magazine. “No one in my own circle had a very big reaction, but then Fearne Cotton on Radio 1 started spinning it every day, and that’s when things really started to change.”
