Lana Del Rey has revealed the second single from her upcoming album, Ultraviolence. Titled "Shades of Cool," the track was produced by Rick Nowels, the Grammy-winning songwriter and producer who co-wrote "Summertime Sadness" and "Young and Beautiful" with Del Rey.
The track's sound and themes are signature Del Rey — gloomy vibes, lo-fi vocals, a cinematic chorus and jazzy undertones. She sings, "My baby lives in shades of blue / Blue eyes and jazz and attitude."
Del Rey's third studio album, produced by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, is due out June 17 via Interscope. "Shades of Cool" follows up the single "West Coast," which came out earlier this month.
In other news, Del Rey was busy this past weekend serenading Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, and their guests at the rehearsal dinner Friday night, where she reportedly performed three songs.
