Gloomy Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey's songwriter thinks they write good songs together because they are both "gloomy."

Justin Parker co-wrote Lana's first ever hit, "Video Games," and says they had chemistry to write together because they both sometimes have a sad outlook on life.

"I'm quite gloomy! And she's a bit gloomy sometimes as well. It says a lot about her and I'm not too dissimilar and I think that's why we got on so well because we have a similar outlook," he said.

Justin and Lana recently picked up an Ivor Novello award for their track, and he is hopeful they will collaborate again when it comes to her second album: "I think there's going to be some more, definitely. I don't know when or anything but I've already been told there'll be some more sessions so I'm looking forward to it. We had a really good relationship when we were working together - it was like younger sister, older brother type of thing. It worked really well."

Lana Del Rey Songwriter to Write for Adele?

Lana Del Rey's songwriter wants to work with Adele.

Justin Parker co-wrote Lana's first ever hit, "Video Games," and thinks his style of songwriting - which last week won him an Ivor Novello award - would be a good fit with the "Someone Like You" hitmaker: "Definitely, it suits my thing. I'm sure we could write something really beautiful. But you never know - the thing about writing is you can have a bad day and you may never get to work with that artist again. You have to prepare and make sure you've got something you really believe in. I've been quite lucky. I do a lot of preparation. I don't work tons. I try and work cleverly and try and work with people I really want to work with," he said.
