Indie pop starlet Lana Del Rey released a nostalgic drenched sampler for her new album Honeymoon. The new taste of her Ultraviolence follow-up features four tracks from her fourth studio album including the previously released "High By The Beach," "Terrence Loves You" and two new additions "Freak" and "Music To Watch Boys To."
Sundrenched and reminiscent of Polariods, the romanticism of album's ballads is nearly tangible, proving that Del Rey is still the queen when it comes to sultry lyricism paying homage to the ambiguities of the heart. Set to drop Sept. 18 via Polydor, the current buzz behind her recent in-studio efforts assures that her latest release will be as widley applauded as Ultraviolence and 2013's Tropico.
The sampler catches viewers' attention with lush Southern Californian landscapes and picturesque settings synonmous with classic Hollywood vacations and melancholic affulence. Cinematic in its own way, each track's visual representation manages to enhance the already vivid narratives crafted by Del Rey. Even after a single viewing of the just under four minute long sampler, it's easy to see why the New York City native has such an avid following of admirers, including the actor turned writer James Franco, who recently penned a novel inspired by the singer-songwriter.
Atomospheric and undoubtedly catchy, lines like "If time stood still / I'd take this moment / Make it last forever" amidst pop drenched instrumentation render the tracks swoon worthy and likely to make even the most cynical listener weak in the knees. Details related to a supporting tour for her latest LP have yet to be revealed but it can easily be assumed that fans will gladly pay the price of admission.
