Lana Del Rey’s just released the lead single from her upcoming third full-length, the title track called “Honeymoon” that she’s been teasing for quite some time. It’s a simmering, moonlit waltz that finds the 30-year-old’s vocals layered ethereally atop each other in eerie fashion. There’s something traditional about Del Rey’s songs in that they always manage to dip into the orchestrally driven tracks of the past while still sounding unquestionably new. “Honeymoon” is a bit buttoned-up, to be sure, but it’s a stellar taste of what LP3’s got in store later this fall.
Lana Del Rey Unveils 'Honeymoon': Hear The Epic New Single
Lana Del Rey is kicking off her Honeymoon era with a bang: the pop chanteuse released the title track to her third studio album on Tuesday (July 14) after weeks of teaser snippets, and at nearly six minutes in length, "Honeymoon" does not disappoint.
Per usual, Del Rey is singing of complicated love on the West Coast, but "Honeymoon" is perhaps grander and more ambitious than anything the singer-songwriter has released thus far. "We both know the history of violence that surrounds you/But I'm not scared, there's nothing to lose now/that I've found you," she sings as the strings on the song pull back.
Honeymoon the album may or may not be arriving in September. Last June, Del Rey scored her first No. 1 album with Ultraviolence, her sophomore album produced by the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach and featuring "West Coast."
