Lana Del Rey “proud” to reissue Lizzy Grant LP
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 30 January 2012
Contentious US starlet Lana Del Rey has said she intends to reissue an album initially released in 2010 under her real name, Lizzy Grant, in “late summer”.
Recorded on a modest $10,000 budget (modest, when compared to the probable funds allocated to ‘Born To Die’, her debut as Del Rey) with producer David Kahne, the LP was only available on iTunes for two months upon its original release in 2010.
Speaking on the subject with the BBC, Del Rey says: “I had signed to an independent label but they couldn’t fund the release of it. People act like it’s so shrouded in mystery, the ‘forgotten terrible album’. But if you look on YouTube, all thirteen tracks are available with millions of views, so it’s not like no one’s heard them. We were all proud of it. It’s pretty good”.
