I think Video Games and Blue jeans are great songs, and I think the "fake-ness" of her Lana Del Rey persona makes the whole deal pretty interesting.

The atmosphere of 50s actress-glam meets 70s/80s LA meets trashy Brooklyn is nice, and I think that there is even some David Lynch in there...

For instant the bass in Blue Jeans sounds a lot like the theme from Twin Peaks mixed with Chris Isaak's Wicked Games.

(though the David Lynch vibe maybe partly due to her looks really creeping me out)

That being said, from what I've heard, some of her other songs are not as great. Hope the people who write her songs step it up (or does she write them herself?).
