"If you are born an artist, you have no choice but to fight to stay an artist." ― Lana Del Rey

With her latest album, Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, Lana Del Rey has again proven herself as one of the most crucial and original female musicians of the 21st century. So let this celebrity biography reveal the full story of Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, largely told in Lana's own words using hundreds of interviews and public statements.

We connect the dots between Del Rey's humble Catholic school beginnings, her teenage troubles with alcoholism, and her earliest unknown recordings as May Jailer/Lizzy Grant. We explore how the ruthless streets of New York City and the noir of Los Angeles struck a chord of nostalgic romance in Lana's creative mind, seeking retro Hollywood glamour at whatever cost, transforming into the multi-platinum "gangster Nancy Sinatra" superstar we love today. And we illustrate how the accusations of toxic femininity and a fabricated past could never compromise her vision; instead, the opposition provided even stronger material for her unique artistic dedication, selling millions of records across the globe.

More importantly, this book delves deep into her music, where Lana Del Rey has always felt the most comfortable sharing personal details. We document her hundreds of unreleased songs, her biggest hits (such as the viral sensation Video Games), her soundtrack contributions (The Great Gatsby, Maleficent, Big Eyes), and her collaboration work with The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, and Stevie Nicks. Furthermore, we passionately analyse each of her eight studio albums, including the critically acclaimed Born to Die, Ultraviolence, Honeymoon, and Norman F**king Rockwell!. In doing so, we present a commercially successful career that hides within the darker underbelly of the pop world, just like her cult following prefers it.

For dedicated fans only, here is everything there is to know about the real Lana Del Rey.

Unlock Your Meaning of Life and Achieve Enlightenment Using Logic Rather than Faith.

The secret mechanics of nature are collaborative systems built upon systems. The atom electrifies the molecules that produce the tissue that sustains the individual who contributes to the species that survives through an ecosystem that vitalises the planet which orbits the sun. Keep climbing upwards, and you'll ultimately reach the unfathomable collection of absolutely everything as a distinct divine entity.

Janthopoyism provides a fresh angle on spiritual philosophies and self-improvement programs. By combining cutting-edge quantum physics and ancient mystical secrets as a cooperative narrative, we uncovered a coherent picture. The Universe itself is a singular organism. It is the highest system. And it has one objective. To evolve.

Here we find the blessed drive of life, tasking everybody with unique duties to satisfy. You are an extension of this divinity, harnessing a segment of the sacred power. And the details of your assignments are relayed to you every moment via emotional notifications.

By utilising practical steps, Janthopoyism will sharpen your perspective to rediscover your holiness while exploiting your confirmation bias to take control of reality. We aim to fine-tune your celestial influence until you pierce the ether of infinite ideas and locate the infallible path of your ideal role.

Do you sense there is something more significant to your existence? But traditional religions don't resonate as they used to? And science only provokes further questions? That is because you are an individual whose journey will differ from everyone else. Each human's separate story is a valid plotline from the overall show. Nobody can provide your precise answers except for your own inner intuitions. This book will help you turn towards the direction designed explicitly for your future.

Serve the evolution of the cosmos by embracing your uniqueness!

Heartbreak sucks! It's horrible! It can be life-threatening! And yet not enough people take this broken pain seriously! Why isn't there a self-help book to fix this lonely agony? Hello! Here is that book.

It works by assigning small (fun!) daily tasks to women and men alike, each tried and tested to improve all elements of single life constructively. And after 30 days, the sufferer will have transformed into a better version of themselves with a greater understanding of the breakup healing process. Meanwhile, these purposeful actions will distract you, the month zipping past like ripping off a band-aid.

Furthermore, this workbook teaches from a place of understanding. Clinical psychobabble lacks compassion. Excessive humour will only provide temporary relief. What is required is a program that does not sugar-coat the issues but encourages a laugh as the reader moves towards liberation.

Did we mention inspirational quotes? Or the bunny rabbits? We've got tons of those. So many bunnies, you'll love them.

As the modern world continuously speeds up, our courtship processes have adjusted with it. Apps such as Tinder and Bumble dominate the dating game, and for many, these platforms are their exclusive avenue to meet new people.

Some may call this a welcome addition to maximising time and potential mates.

But for others, it's a soul-crushing endeavour of swiping right without the slightest shred of reciprocated attention.

The male ego is notoriously fragile, and men regularly devolve into grotesque and shameful versions of themselves. Poor women endure an onslaught of unacceptable behaviour, like cheap pickup seduction lies, unsolicited explicit imagery, and sometimes a full-on temper tantrum of insults when the man's advances are rejected. My brothers, this is not the way!

Swiping Right teaches men that they can be genuine and polite yet still meet a plethora of women using only dating apps. All you need is some tiny tweaks to your profile and attitude, and you will transform into what females refer to as "actually a good guy", attracting girls far more suited to your exact personality.

Here are the dating essentials that we will cover over this quick read: (1) A thorough list of the online platforms available, helping you to discover the perfect demographic for your type and budget; (2) The smartest photo practices (including the main secret so many men neglect!); (3) What women want when reading a bio; (4) How to manipulate the algorithms in your favour; (5) Little-known hacks and tricks to get noticed; (6) And finally, how to escalate the flirty conversation smoothly into the real-life dating stage.

Best of all, it's about honesty and being yourself. No lame pickup artistry. No repulsive schemes. No manipulative gimmicks. Simple statistics are the solution, and the more lovely people you can meet, the faster you'll attract the right one (or two) specific humans with whom you sexually and intellectually click.

Bring back the ethical gentleman! Go to bed and sleep easy with a clear conscience, preferably with somebody else next to you!

"It was my little secret garden that I tended to. No one else was allowed in. Things get lost, break, or disappear. People come and go. But my songs, my writing, it was mine." – Mitski

Mitski is an artist shaped by contradiction. Born in Japan and raised across the globe before settling in America, a misplaced sense of identity plagued her upbringing. Yet this internal conflict eventually found a home. Mitski unleashed her raw vulnerability into music so uniquely passionate that listeners fell in worship. Unwittingly, Mitski became the voice for a generation of sadness. Her calling kept her afloat while the pressure of her rabid fandom pushed her down. Her brilliance had become both a gift and a burden.

Stay Soft, Get Eaten is the most comprehensive Mitski biography to date. By collecting hundreds of her quotes pulled from interviews, articles, and social media, we trace her rise from isolation to icon, unpacking her thoughts on the industry, depression, romance, and, of course, cultural identity. Using the crumbs of her wisdom, this book gradually unravels the enigma that is Mitski.

More importantly, we focus on Mitski's music, giving ample pages to the entirety of her critically acclaimed discography, including The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, Puberty 2, and Be the Cowboy, which Pitchfork called the Best Album of 2018. If the information is out there, it's in here, the definitive Mitski Bible. When you finish this book, you'll know more about Mitski than anybody, and you will understand why Iggy Pop deemed her "the most advanced American songwriter I know".

This celebrity biography was proudly written by a human author without the use of AI. That author is Jared Woods, the pen behind the In Her Own Words book series. These publications include the Fiona Apple book When a Song Ends in a Minor Key, and the phenomenally popular Lana Del Rey book F**ked My Way Up To The Top. Both are available now.
