Top 20 Spring Cycling Songs for Your iPod

One person you are going to hear a lot about if you have not already is Lana Del Rey, formerly known as Lizzie Grant. She had an album out under her real name a couple of years ago – nothing much happened with that. Lana Del Rey moved from her home in New York City to Los Angeles to “reinvent herself” – her new performance name is a combination of Lana Turner and Ford Del Rey. And did she ever?! There is much talk about whether she is being genuine or if she’s mocking pop music. Regardless of what she looks like or the lyrics of her songs, her style is reminiscent of 1960s female pop singers. And it’s interesting to say the least. Happy riding!
