If David Lynch ever makes his own La La Land-type movie, I really hope he casts Lana Del Rey as its lead. On one hand, her music has overwhelming romanticized imagery of youth culture that makes teenagers love her. But on the other hand, it’s so goddamn surreal and creepy. “Love,” the first single from her upcoming album, features the sound that is eerily similar to someone cocking a gun while she coos the song’s chorus. With those deep, doomed drums—and her haunting “don’t worry, baby”—it’s all so menacing. But that’s what makes Lana fascinating as hell.
