Lana Del Rey

In July 2013, when Lana Del Rey performed "Young and Beautiful" live in Barcelona, she was riding the wave of her highly acclaimed album, "Born to Die," which had been released in early 2012. This particular track, featured in both the album and the soundtrack for "The Great Gatsby," showcased her unique ability to meld cinematic themes with haunting melodies. Interestingly, this live performance was part of her "Paradise Tour," following the release of her "Paradise" EP in late 2012, which further solidified her distinct style and persona in the music landscape. As she crooned against the lush backdrop of the Jardins del Palau Reial de Pedralbes, audiences were not just drawn to her voice but to the emotive storytelling that characterizes her art. Little did she know, she'd soon become an icon in the alternative pop scene, captivating hearts with her melancholic yet glamorous approach to music.
