Loren Kramar, the Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and composer whose ‘voice can stop you in your tracks’ (New York Times), has shared Living Legend – his haunting new EP comprised solely of transcendent Lana Del Rey covers – via Secretly Canadian.
Loren’s versions of these beloved songs are more than mere tribute to one of the defining artists of the 21st century – they are singular reinterpretations that cut to the core of Lana’s spirit and offer the listener a rare opportunity to hear these songs for the first time again.
Loren is a child of Los Angeles, he is a velvet crooner who belongs behind the piano at the Chateau Marmont, and when he sings Lana, it is a kinetic alloy, both exuberant and heart breaking. There is a slowness to the type of synergy that is Loren’s Living Legend – it took two lifetimes to get here; both Lana’s and Loren’s. In this way, Living Legend acts as a double portrait. An impression of two lives overlapping on an axis of poetry, grief and addiction, Loren’s voice pulling Lana’s past into our immediate present.
