If you’ve listened to mainstream radio at all in 2012 then you will have heard Blue Jeans in heavy rotation- it’s slick melancholy presumably ticking all the boxes at a whole host of stations. Personally I still struggle with the millionaires daughter singing ‘we don’t need no money’- living off a Lidl diet for a couple of weeks would probably change her mind on that count – but the songwriting is undeniably tight, and the mix of grand 50s death pop with spooked out hip hop samples remains a great idea with healthy milage in it. It seems the wheels haven’t quite come off the Del Rey bus just yet…
