On May 24, Taylor Swift revealed the Midnights (Til Dawn Edition) deluxe album which features new tracks, including a version of ‘Snow On the Beach’ that features more Lana Del Rey. Taylor said: “You asked for it, we listened: Lana and I went back into the studio specifically to record more Lana on Snow on the Beach. Love u Lana.” The song is out now.

Lana Del Rey has officially released ‘Say Yes to Heaven,’ a previously unreleased and leaked fan favourite, alongside a sped-up version that is popular on TikTok. The song is available to purchase and stream and the artwork image has been uploaded to the gallery.

Today Lana Del Rey released the official music video for ‘Candy Necklace’ featuring Jon Batiste, her neck single from her latest album ‘Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd.’ It was directed by Rich Lee, who has previously directed music videos for ‘Love,’ ‘Lust for Life,’ ‘White Mustang,’ ‘Fuck it I Love You/The Greatest,’ and ‘Doin’ Time.’

Shot in black and white, the music video is almost 11 minutes in length. It’s self referential and features behind-the-scenes footage. The concept also references famous women in history, such as Marilyn Monroe and the Black Dahlia, as it appears to explore the idea of creating a character that is killed or otherwise by fame and Hollywood, but the behind the scenes footage and the video turning to colour at the end shows that the real her is still alive and breathing; that she escaped the story of the character she once portrayed herself to be, shedding the media criticism and industry constraints along with it. She broke the cycle and thrived with the happiness many never got to experience.

In the video, at 4:06, Lana says: “‘Cause the whole thing about the video was like why it was all supposed to be behind the scenes was because all these woman who like changed their names, changed their hair like me and stuff, it’s like they all fell into these different like snake holes, so the whole point is like how do you learn from that and not fall into your own thing.”

Lana Del Rey announced on Instagram that she will release another single, titled, ‘Arcadia,’ from her upcoming album ‘Blue Banisters’ on September 8. She uploaded a snippet and said to listen if you liked ‘Video Games.’

Lana also added some commentary about reflecting on her life due to ongoing criticism. She said, “I guess you could say this album is about what it was like, what happened, and what it’s like now,” which alludes the album being a journey. “If you’re interested go back and listen to the first three songs I put out earlier,” she added, referring to ‘Blue Banisters,’ ‘Text Book,’ and ‘Wildflower Wildfire.’ She said these chronicle the beginning, and ‘Arcadia’ will hit somewhere in the middle, and “by the time the record drops you will hear where we’re at today.”

Lana also thanked her friends over the last 18 years, who have “been an example of attraction not promotion.” She added, “I’ve never felt the need to promote myself or tell my story, but if you’re interested this album does tell it—and does pretty much nothing more.”

Lana Del Rey features on ‘Secret Life’ by Bleachers, the name singer and record producer Jack Antonoff performs music under. The song is from his new album, ‘Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night,’ which was released on July 30. Lana also contributed to writing the song ‘Don’t Go Dark.’
