It’s easy for Lana Del Rey detractors to write her off as a manufactured Pop star without a genuinely talented bone in her body–mainly due to her horrendous live debut on ‘SNL’ earlier this year.

However, after listening to ‘Born To Die’ anyone with an ear for music and appreciation for dynamic songwriting have accepted Lana Del Rey as a misunderstood savant of grand, orchestral Pop and a premium lyricist. ‘Born To Die’ finds Dey Rey using her infamous Contralto over dark, angst filled productions creating some of the best atmospheric Pop music since Norah Jones‘ Grammy Award-winning LP ‘Come Away With Me’ (2002).

Watch the 25 year old songstress perform the bulk of her album for fans at a Jazz Cafe in London Town after the jump and sound-off below.

As the biggest-selling female group of all-time, Destiny’s Child have earned themselves a collective place in music history. Perhaps most impressive, though, is that it’s status Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams achieved by the time they were 25.

Yet it’s their arguably abrupt end at that such a humble age (back in 2005) which has many pining for their comeback – some seven years later. Granted, at the time, Beyonce had become…well…”Beyonce”, and Kelly and Michelle were blossoming in their own right, their final outing ‘Destiny Fulfilled’ ironically felt like their first “group” album. Indeed, while the ‘Single Ladies’ singer was still covertly “lead”, verses were more equally shared, with the growth in her comrades given ample spotlight. And then…

BAM! It’s over

Fast forward to today and the still-young ladies are each doing their thing. Beyonce is… Beyonce, Michelle is prepping a new album and making it rain with her acting gigs, while Kelly’s stock is the highest it’s ever been (thank you ‘Motivation’). Begging the question…

Would you ever want to see a Destiny’s Child reunion?
