darkrosaleenDo you like sexy music and sexy musicians? Do you like strong creative personalities who respect and inspire each other? Do you like sultry vixens and scruffy garage rockers? If so, I have just the pairing for you.
This is Lana Del Rey:
A singer-songwriter who rocketed to fame in 2012, Lana blends hip hop production, orchestral strings, and morbid romanticism with torch singer desperation and references to mid-century pop culture. She likes older men, heavy makeup, and doomed relationships.
This is Dan Auerbach:
Dan is the guitarist and lead singer of blues rock band The Black Keys. He recently notched himself a Producer of the Year Grammy. He likes beards, leather jackets, and quietly smoldering with his guitar.
This is Lana Del Rey's latest album, which was produced by Dan Auerbach:
Ultraviolence is available via Spotify and questionable youtube upload. It's dark and sexy and guitar-heavy and sounds exactly like you'd expect the brain child of Dan and Lana to sound.
Here are ten reasons why you should request them for Yuletide.
1. They were both born in the wrong decade
Dan is one of the last blues rockers standing in the twenty-first century. Lana describes herself as a gangster Nancy Sinatra. They're a match made in sixties heaven.
2. They gushed about each other in every interview they gave
It's really kind of cute.
3. They both make misery sound sexy
Lana is a torch singer; Dan is a blues rocker. Both genres involve pining over miserable relationships in a very sexy way.
4. They're an exercise in contrast
Lana has a fabulous vintage style, is always well put together, and flirts with everything that moves. Dan is quiet and sarcastic and dresses almost exclusively in t-shirts and flannel. If you like your het with strong gender roles, this will be right up your alley.
5. Lana('s persona) has a rather public daddy kink. Dan has a bitchin' beard and wears a lot of leather and flannel.
Oh yeah. Let me put on a show for you, daddy.
6. Dan is newly single
Dan just went through a brutal public divorce, then wrote an amazingly sad, sultry album about it. Doesn't this sound like a man who needs to be cheered up (with sex)? And who better to do it than a self professed temptress?
7. They're both really hot
Like, really hot.
Really, really hot.
8. They brainstormed Ultraviolence at a strip club
No, Really.
9. Google ships it
10. This is how they announced their collaboration on twitter:
Go forth and request!
