So much more than a usual re-release “Born To Die -The Paradise Edition” will be available on CD, download, vinyl and as a special box set. All formats include 8 brand new songs, including “Ride”. The Deluxe Box set also includes a remix CD, a video DVD, 7″ vinyl of “Blue Velvet” and four art prints. The I-tunes version includes an instant gratis track “Burning Desire”.

Lana has also recently been named the face of the new Jaguar F-Type car, H+M fashion and has had the rare accolade of a Mulberry bag named after her. Her album “Born To Die” has sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide, with her singles selling over 4 and a half million copies. Lana is currently planning a worldwide tour for 2013.
