As you might have guessed from the title of this post, that person is Lana Del Rey.
She's popular, I suppose, but not really big scale. A fair amount of people have heard of her.
I found her on the Prophet Blog, then sort of forgot about her until it turned out that Emma had discovered her at sort of the same time. I looked into her other music videos and was entranced.
Her voice is rich and throaty, but not coarse - sort of shimmery, but deep. She has an unbelievable voice range, and her voice gets delicate and crystalline up high. According to Emma her voice started out really high but they worked on lowering her range and now she can sing like anything.
I believe she's 26.
She has many amazing songs, of which my favorite is either "Summer Sadness" or "Blue Jeans".
I recommend you look her up.
