It's the week of Lana Del Rey news. In the past week alone, the "West Coast" singer has performed at the extravagant Kimye wedding, released her second Ultraviolence single "Shades Of Cool" and debuted the song "Ultraviolence" live in Vancouver. Now, a studio version of her new album's title track has made its way online... in the form of a short 16-second clip and promo video.
Posted by YouTube user Ammuffin, the short video offers up a studio version of "Ultraviolence," which continues the atmospheric blended instrumentation and vocals of the debuted live version. Over the layers of strings and that steady piano chord, Del Rey visits the overlap of love, sex and pain in the song's lyrics.
"It's ultraviolence, ultraviolence / I can sirens, sirens / Give me all that ultraviolence," she sings in the sample, which is presumed to be the song's chorus.
The accompanying video follows in the pattern of the "West Coast" music video, album cover and other promotional material for Del Rey's Born To Die follow-up. With a grainy black and white motif, the promo features quickly cut away scenes of Del Rey looking moody, ocean waves breaking on the shore, bottles of champagne getting popped and plenty of cigarette smoke.
It's everything Del Rey rolled into one teaser trailer.
