 Her own description of her music is "Hollywood sadcore". In her own words, Del Rey described most of her songs being like "a dark love story seen through hopeful eyes." Tim Lee of musicOMH noted the songs are extremely similar, commenting that "her (alleged) agents clearly having stumbled upon a formula with which they can (allegedly) print money and (allegedly) further consign Lana's secretive, (allegedly) real debut LP to the annals of history. You didn't hear it from us, right?" Del Rey has once described herself as a "gangsta Nancy Sinatra", though she cites Britney Spears, Elvis Presley, and Kurt Cobain as her musical influences.
