–Featured Release: Lana Del Rey – “Lust For Life”–

Genre: Indie-Pop // Label: Interscope

Background:

Lana Del Rey’s career got off to a blazing hot start with Born To Die, and despite the subsequent cool off, she’s still a household name in indie-pop.  Ultraviolence was a sultry, dreamlike follow-up that ultimately proved worthwhile, but Honeymoon drew considerably less appeal from fans and critics alike.  Her style hasn’t changed much across the board, which might begin to explain the diminishing return.  With Lust For Life, she vies to recapture some of that initial luster.  For a taste of what is to come, check out her collaboration with The Weeknd below.

 Hear the title track, featuring The Weeknd:
