Lana Del Rey has released a music video for her upcoming album’s title track, “Blue Banisters.”
The accompanying visual begins with a clip of the artist riding a John Deere vehicle, alluding to the song’s opening lines, and sees Del Rey and her friends in a dreamy setting as they literally paint banisters in blue, enjoy the mountainous views and bake. The music video for “Blue Banisters” arrives shortly after “Arcadia,” when she shared a lengthy message on her now-deleted Instagram page:
“I guess you could say this album is about what it was like, what happened, and what it’s like now.
If you’re interested go back and listen to the first three songs I put out earlier. They chronicle the beginning. This song hits somewhere in the middle and by the time the record drops you will hear where we’re at today.
As much as the on going criticism has been trying, it at least has pushed me to explore my own family tree, to dig deep, and to continue to exhibit the fact that God only cares about how I move through the world.
And for all of the skepticism about feigning fragility and unreasonable explanations of not showing general accountability- I must say I’ve enjoyed moving through the world beautifully- as a woman with grace and dignity.
Thank you to my friends over the last 18 years who have been an example of attraction not promotion. 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.”
Watch the music video above. Lana Del Rey’s Blue Banisters drops October 22.
Elsewhere in music, new music from Kendrick Lamar could also be dropping on October 22.
