Lana Del Rey just premiered a new song with The Weeknd on BBC Radio 1. The tune is the title track and first single from her her upcoming album, Lust for Life.
"I just thought he would be great for this song," she said of The Weekend before premiering the new song on BBC. "I really feel like he just added so much on it," she added after it played.
"Lust for Life" proves that the singer hasn't strayed too far from her signature retro sound; the track is languid and nonchalant, in classic Lana style, but it gets a bit of a modern synth boost with the help of The Weeknd.
The song kicks off right away with Del Rey's signature sultry voice. "Climb up the H of the Hollywood sign," she talk-sings while eerie doo-wop vocals echo in the background.
Things get seductive towards the bridge: "Take off, take off, take off all your clothes," she sings in the hook. The Weekend jumps in with his falsetto before both artists alternate in the chorus: "And a lust for life keeps us alive."
Listen below.
The track is also now available on Spotify, iTunes and Apple Music.
