music of 2012

Music of 2012 for me was very hit and miss.  New albums from first time artist that i loved this year were Lana Del Rey's born to die: paradise edition,  frank ocean's channel orange. These two albums for me seem to be a huge throwback to American culture with Lana Del Rey album being very influenced by old Hollywood with drama and loss being a huge presence in her music.  Frank's album is very Motown for me but i like that. not growing up in that era or listening to it as a child i found it extremely exciting.
Favourite song of born to die: paradise edition= national anthem

favourite song of channel orange= super rich kids
