Lana Del Rey - Shades of Cool (Official Audio) [+ Review]


Lana Del Rey has recently released the official audio for her new track 'Shades of Cool'. The aforementioned single is taken off her upcoming album, Ultraviolence, which is due for release on the 16th June in the UK and the 17th June in the US. Continuing on her string of successes, 'Shades of Cool' is seemingly another hit for the singer. The track (which you can listen to down below) is a bit of a sombre ballad, with a distinctive haunting tone to it, which just makes us love the singer even more. 

The song switches between two different tones, with Lana usually her particular drawl in a truly captivating manner, and she switches between a more wailing-esque sound and a more subtle, controlled manner. This variation in style is particular in-fitting with how the album is being set up so far, and compliments 'West Coast' rather nicely, with Del Rey's haunting voice carrying the track off into the metaphorical moonlight. 

The track is certainly something you could get lost in, and the use of the guitar just finishes off the track in a truly memorable manner. Being a mix of quite eerie relaxation and bitter-sweet sounds, 'Shades of Cool' is something you probably want to listen to at least once. Fingers crossed the music video is as stellar as the audio. Check out Lana's 'Shades of Cool' below:
