Retro Feeling

Credit to my sister Josephine for recommending this video to me. 
Lana Del Rey's new song Video Games is definitely something different. With the impact of 21st Century technology and the abilities to create music video's on a whole new scale, you'd be mistaken to think this video is something from 30-40 years ago. However, this was made in the present and as you can see not all is lost for the music industry. I love the contrast here. For a start the video itself consists of clips from different scenes, building up a particular scene. As well as this, there's a contrast between something good and innocent to something dark and concerning as we see clips of police cars and two happy women running in circles. The singer herself, I personally think is beautiful, and carries off the timeless approach well. Her voice is raw and deep, a good combination for this kind of song. Keep those ears of yours plucked for more guys!
