I'll get this part out of the way first... This song and video has already established itself as a legendary work of art. Summertime Sadness is a historic song. I remember it playing on the radio every single day and night multiple times for a long time. This song owned the summer of 2012 music. Teens and young adults of this time will never forget the song. Del Rey really blew up in popularity with this song and it made her a super star. Currently, I am anticipating her next album and think it will be better. She still sounds very young on Shade of Cool, although matured a little; she's still growing. I hope Del Rey sticks around for at least a couple more decades because I think her best is yet to come.
