Part of Lana del Rey's appeal thus far has been the feeling that you'd stumbled upon a well-kept secret. But a good secret never stays one for long.

Since we first took notice of her back in August with that damn mesmerizing "Video Games," del Rey's built up a considerable amount of evidence that she deserves our attention -- two solid songs (and accompanying videos), a few live performances -- proof that her voice is, in fact, real -- and the sincerest form of flattery in the music biz -- the remix, by artists across a number of genres. The latest, and best, one came this week from hip-hop collective Odd Future.
