It's always an interesting day when Lana Del Rey drops new music, and she recently released the audio for new track 'High By The Beach'. Taken from her upcoming Honeymoon album, which is slated to be released in September later this year, Del Rey enjoys a throwback to previous era, Born To Die, with breezy melodies and breathy vocals. Possessing a more up-beat rhythm, 'High By The Beach' is simplistic in its lyrical design, but has a more intrinsic instrumental, with the backing beat and Del Rey's smooth vocals sailing the song to a successful finish.
It can be said that Del Rey has a tendency to opt for more ethereal, dreamy sounds that compliment her vocal delivery, and 'High By The Beach' is no exception, relying heavily on the singer's commanding and mesmerizing voice. Equal parts sultry and captivating, the track draws you in with its slight switch in tempo and Del Rey's mixed vocal pace (the track is also explicit in its lyrics). A particular favourite of ours is 'The truth is I never bought into your bullshit/ when you would pay tribute to me' and 'You could be a bad motherfucker but that don't make you a man'. Rock on Lana.
If there's going to be a music video for this, we're sure there's going to be something rather disturbing about it, as Lana is known for mixing elements of violence and drugs juxtaposed on a glamorous backdrop, in a similar fashion to Ultraviolence and National Anthem (and pretty much any Lana song you can think of). Overall, while its not an epic orchestral and cinematic endeavour like 'Honeymoon', 'High By The Beach' is an airy and pleasing addition that is reminiscent of Del Rey's previous discography.
