Due anni fa l’esordio con Born To Die e un’attenzione di pubblico e critica immediata. Sei milioni di copie vendute nel mondo, dodici milioni di singoli e due remix che hanno portato al successo anche nei club italiani Summertime Sadness e Young And Beautiful. Questi i numeri di Lana Del Rey che si appresta ad affrontare la tanto attesa prova del secondo album. Oggi ce ne ha dato un assaggio con l’uscita del nuovo singolo West Coast, scritto da Lana e dal leggendario autore Rick Nowels, registrato a Nashville e prodotto da Dan Auerback dei Black Keys. A maggio arriverà il nuovo disco, intitolato Ultraviolence e definito dall’artista stessa «meraviglioso e ancora più oscuro del precedente». Nel frattempo è possibile ascoltare West Coast (con relativo testo) cliccando sul video qui sotto.

Testo

Down on the West Coast, they got a saying
If you’re not drinking, then you’re not playing
But you’ve got the music, you’ve got the music in you, don’t you?
Down on the West Coast, I get this feeling like it all could happen
That’s why I’m leaving you for the moment, you for the moment
Boy blue, yeah you
It’s getting harder to show it
I’m feeling hot to the touch
You say you miss me
And I always say I miss you so much
But something keeps me really quiet
I’m alive, I’m a lush
Your love, your love, your love

I can see my baby swinging
His parliament is on fire when his hands are up
On the balcony and I’m singing
Ooh baby, ooh baby, I’m in love
I can see my sweet boy swinging
He’s crazy and Cubano call my only love
On the balcony and I’m singing
Move baby, move baby, I’m in love
I’m in love
I’m in love

Down on the West Coast, they got their icons
Their silver starlights, their queens and cyclones
And you got the music, you got the music in you, don’t you?
Down on the west coast, they love their movies
Their golden cars and rock-n-roll groupies
And you got the music, you got the music in you, don’t you?
You push me harder for the way
I’m feeling hotter than fire
I guess I know and how to be and make it feel I’m a child
Didn’t say you gotta know, boy it’s you I desire
Your love, your love, your love

I can see my baby swinging
His parliament is on fire when his hands are up
On the balcony and I’m singing
Move baby, move baby, I’m in love
I can see my baby swinging
His parliament is on fire when his hands are up
On the balcony and I’m singing
Ooh baby, ooh baby, I’m in love
I can see my sweet boy swinging
He’s crazy and Cubano call my only love
On the balcony and I’m singing
Move baby, move baby, I’m in love
I’m in love
I’m in love
