Lana Del Rey reveals her inspiration for the official debut album Born to die, that is expected to be released on January 30. She admits that Kurt Cobain has played a decisive role in her musical career, as Nirvana had made quite an impression when she saw their video for 'Heart shaped box' on MTV, at the age of 11 years old.
As stated on Sirious FM, Cobain was the most beautiful person she had ever seen and felt a connection with him through the grief he emitted. When she heard his music again at age 17 it still seemed impressive and according to her: "It's continued to be my primary inspiration - in terms of not wanting to compromise lyrically or sonically".
