Rationale of fair use for "Lana Del Rey (EP)" and "Blue Jeans (Lana Del Rey song) sample

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

• It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken. The section of music used is discussed in the article in relation to the song's lyrics, musical and vocal style, and may contain part of the song's chorus.
• It is a sample of no more than 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording or to recreate the original recording.
• It is of a lower quality than the original recording.
• It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
• It is believed that this sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.
• The audio sample is a copyrighted work. U.S. copyright laws apply to this work. Should a free or public domain sample be located, it should be used in place of this audio sample.

Detailed rationale

• In Blue Jeans (Lana Del Rey song), the clip illustrates the application of a minimalistic hip hop music beat, over downtempo vocals.
• In Lana Del Rey (EP), the clip aids the "Composition" section by showing the particular "sound" of the EP's peculiar musical structure. As one of the most popular singles on the EP, it also helps shed light on the commercial success of the album, while being an easily recognizable example.
• In Sadcore, the song was described by MTV as epitomizing the genre. The buzz word circulates around the singer, and the song was cited as a specific example of her foray into the genre, so the clip helps illustrate the particular quirks of the sub-genre.
