From the Vaults: When Lana Del Rey Wasn't Lana Del Rey Yet

The name on everybody's lips these days is Lana Del Rey. Whether you hate her or you love her, she's the hottest singer to break on the scene – but perhaps few of her new fans know that Lana has been around for a while.

While her recent performance on SNL was harshly criticized, there's still a lot of buzz around her debut album, which is getting excellent reviews from music insiders.

A few years ago, Lana Del Rey did not exist – but there was a Lizzy Grant who performed in NYC bars and who bore somewhat of a resemblance to her.

Lizzy is Lana before the recent, drastic transformation. She had considerably smaller lips, more of an “ordinary” fashion style and a less quirky sound.
