Lana Del Rey, Heart Shaped-Box (Nirvana Cover)

Lana Del Rey is more than a youtube sensation.

At this point she has a "love-hate" relationship. But nowadays with 26 years old, Lana Del Rey has made a statement of herself proving how talented and good singer she is.

With a album released - Born To Die - on January 2012, she has released previously an album commonly referred as Nevada but with the name Lana Del Ray A.K.A. Lizzy Grant - through the label 5 Points Records on iTunes but shortly after it was removed because, according to Del Rey “I had signed to an independent label but they couldn’t fund the release of it.” 
She has now the rights of the record and plans to re-release it soon.

Along the way she has also released two EPs Kill Kill in 2008 and Lana Del Rey in 2012.

With huge hits like Video Games, Born To Die, Blue Jeans and her last National Anthem.

On late July, Lana Del Rey performed in Sidney one of the biggest Nirvana songs Heart-Shaped Box.
Heart-Shaped Box was the first single taken from In Utero, released in 1993 and really seems to be about Courtney Love - Kurt Cobain's wife.

Not imitating Cobain's vocals, Lana Del Rey did a great job interpreting the song on her own style giving this a more airy, cute, very similar to an epic anthem - at some point, almost sounding like a ballad.

Around the time, this cover was released, Courtney used Twitter to "explain" Lana Del Rey the song's meaning., quoting a part of the lyrics "Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back," to emphasize how the song was about her.
Those tweets were later deleted.

 
"She eyes me like a pisces when, I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could leach your cancer when you turn black"


A longer version here.
