"Lana Del Rey earned respect because she is so good" says her co-writer

Rick Nowels, the co-writer and co-producer of Lana Del Rey's 'Summertime Sadness', has revealed that she rose to fame so quickly because people could see her real talent and artistry.

Speaking to Billboard, the songwriter explained that he saw something in her that was "magical" before she became so well-known and wasn't surprised when she went on to enjoy an incredibly successful career:

"I met Lana in summer 2011. I had heard some of her songs on YouTube and I loved what she was doing. When we wrote it ('Summertime Sadness'), I realized that she was a brilliant songwriter and a magical artist. She writes the kind of music I want to listen to."

"Lana has earned respect because she is so good. She has consistently released high-quality songs with artistry and vision. People are starving for real artistry. As more people hear her music, she's gaining more fans."

The beauty recently worried fans after describing her upcoming short film project, 'Tropico', a "farewell" effort: "I can’t wait to see you at our premiers for Tropico at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery and in NYC. Looking forward to seeing you for the farewell project. I adore you and thank you for inspiring me.”
