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


Just released, Lana Del Rey's new music video (watch below) for her track 'Shades of Cool' is a length visual affair. Taken from her album, Ultraviolence, 'Shades of Cool' is the second track release from the singer. Featuring plenty of blue hues, the music video sees Lana take a dip in a pool and also be incorporated into many retro editing effects, which see the sultry singer spinning around in a psychedelic effect, and feature in a cross-over between her 'man' and herself smoking whilst the American flag plays over. The whole affair is quite cinematic and vintage, which is typical from the singer.

The video also features a dream-like sequence (which we particularly love), where we can see the singer be engulfed by fireworks whilst whimsically twirling as she coos her lyrics; 'Your heart is unbreakable'. Featuring a montage of imagery (from the American Flag, to a sunny landscape adorned with palm trees, and of course, Lana's effortless twirling), the music video is heavily stylized to fit in with the album's vibe and influence, as it reflects the singer's love of that era. The track itself is sophisticated and the video aptly brooding to reflect that, and the whole affair is certainly a feast for the eyes. Watch Del Rey's music video for 'Shades of Cool', below:
