With Ultraviolence released in June 2014, I am simply astounded that Lana is capable of creating such excellent music and albums in such close proximity of one another. In my opinion, Lana Del Rey has already solidified her album Honeymoon as one of the best albums that will drop this year with her tracks “Honeymoon” and “High by the Beach.” Am I optimistically jumping the gun? Or am I confident that the talented artist has an entire album the likes of her two singles? Definitely the latter. Every track was heartfelt, fun, and infectious, and I believe that Honeymoon is on the same track that Born to Die was. The sound of “High by the Beach” is a fun and more upbeat melody than that of her album Ultraviolence, and it seems that this track is reminiscent of her Born to Die days, which, I believe, is the closest to perfection an album has come to in a while. It is a gorgeous song with a lively melody, paired with the esoteric, obscure, and enigmatic vocals that accentuate the fact that Lana Del Rey is such an immensely talented artist and singer-songwriter. “High by the Beach” is no exception to this rule. I have not come across one song, even her unreleased body of work, that has not transported me to a state of blissful rapture when listening to it. It all brings me back to the immense joy I had when I first discovered the wayward soul that is Lana Del Rey. To me, this track is quintessential Lana. Now you’re just another one of my problems What I love about Lana is her ability to craft such an alluringly seductive song on a superficial level, but, often times, these beautiful, delicate songs are comprised of dark, macabre, mysterious, and deadly lyrics, dripping in self-loathing. With lyrics of a tainted man who is hard to love, “High by the Beach” has a soothingly rhythmic chorus. In typical Lana fashion, she takes to this track with an ethereal voice that transcends perfection.
Lana’s newest album will be dropping this September, but we can all get high by the beach on our honeymoons until then. Teasing us with nautical photoshoots for the single, Lana has continued to build my excitement for Honeymoon.
If you did not already assume so, it was amazing. As we all eagerly await the blissful fourth album from the sultry perfection that is Lana Del Rey, her second track from the album has been released today.
