A month after posting the lyrics to Honeymoon, her new single, on her Instagram account, Lana Del Rey has finally released the song. The ballad is the title track of Del Rey’s upcoming fourth album, reportedly due out in September.
The first taste of her follow-up to Ultraviolence, her critically acclaimed third album, clocks in at six minutes and is lush and orchestral, recalling the sound of her first two albums, Born to Die and Paradise.
Del Rey confirmed the shift back to her early sound in an interview with Billboard in January. “It’s very different from the last one and similar to the first two,” she said of the new album. “It’s growing into something I really like. I’m kind of enjoying sinking into this more noirish feel for this one.”
The album is rumoured to feature a cover of Nina Simone’s Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.
