"Tropico" is a music video by American recording artist Lana Del Rey and she also wrote the script for this one. And it runs for only slightly under half an hour which is a runtime we basically only know from Michael Jackson or Kanye West as well. Very impressive. But only in terms of numbers as this is not a particularly great music video. It obviously tries to be very impressive and artistic from the visual side and also in terms of the story, but to me, it never felt even close to authentic. It all felt fake and just included for the sake of being as impressive as possible without achieving this goal. The music is sometimes fine, for example very catch at the beginning and the "Always on my Mind" ending is sweet too, but that obviously has not too much to do with Lana Del Rey. It simply is not enough quality for such a long video. Not recommended unless you really dig the artist. Thumbs down.
