Counterpoint: I like Lana Del Rey and don’t know why.

Me too, I generally never listen to pop artists but make an exception for her stuff

Same here, but songs like blue jeans are on another level

Me too I think it's cuz she is an original. No one sounds like her. She's like no one else.

I think she sounds quite a bit like Hope Sanodval from Mazzy Star. Nothing wrong with that though

I hadn’t thought of that. They both have a vocal sound I might describe as distant. Like they are purposefully standing a little farther from the mic than average or like they are purposefully holding something back. Like their voice has a poker face.

It’s not a sound I’d seek out, but I kind of like them both.

I think you’re on to something. I’ve always loved Mazzy Star too.
