Watch: Lana Del Rey previews new track ‘Honeymoon’

By Will Stroude

Lana Del Rey has shared a preview of the title track from her upcoming third studio album, Honeymoon.

The Video Games singer – who recently revealed the new record would be out this September – gave fans a snippet of Honeymoon alongside what appears to be a clip from its music video.

The artist formerly known as Lizzy Grant also posted the lyrics for the new track, which contains some beautifully incomprehensible new Lana Del Rey-isms, including “It’s no wonder every man in town had neither fought nor found you / everything you do is elusive to even your honey dew”.

The 29-year-old also confirmed last month that she has recorded two videos for future singles, adding that the album would be a “beautiful futureretro [sic]” record.

Honeymoon will serve as the follow-up to 2014’s Ultraviolence, which topped the UK albums chart upon its release last June, and spawned singles including West Coast and Shades of Cool.

The Summertime Sadness singer revealed earlier this year that she had already recorded nine tracks for the album, and that they marked a return to the sound of her debut LP Born to Die.

“It’s very different from the last one [Ultraviolence] and similar to the first two, Born to Die and Paradise,” she said.

She continued: “I finished my last one in March and released it in June and I had a follow-up idea. It’s growing into something I really like. I’m kind of enjoying sinking into this more noirish feel for this one. It’s been good.”
