Lana Del Rey released a new track and an accompanying video clip titled “Love” and hearts are melting everywhere.
The anthemic track features a growing, persistent undercurrent and maintains the retro quality that has become familiar to fans of the now well-established artist. The song celebrates the way in which love has the power to transform the way you perceive the seemingly insignificant day to day details of life into something beautiful. Del Rey appeals to our context and the anxieties of being young in strained modern times but implores us to remember love and hope in these times.
In the vintage inspired video clip, a flower crowned Lana Del Rey is envisioned as an beacon of glowing light, performing to the young. The film takes you beyond earth on a fantastical journey to the stars in her familiar art-house style.
The song has been released amidst rumours of the release of a new album from the legendary crooner after posters featuring the singer and the title “Love”, have been popping up around L.A.
Lana Del Rey broke out onto the music scene with the release of the incomparable brooding track “Video Games” in 2011. The song was addictive as it followed the narrative of summer love accompanied by the fresh, divine vocals of Del Rey. The last album to have been released from the New York born, 31 year old was Honeymoon, in 2015. The smooth album engrossed listeners with its intimate accounts of love, spun tantalisingly by the mellifluous vocals of Del Rey. She mesmerised as she danced through experiences of love accompanied by an ever-present looming air of melancholy, in a way that is haunting yet beautiful.
This new track promises fans of music that will further explore Del Rey’s distinctive musical style, that will have you drifting into the clouds of her saccharine dream world.
