Lana Del Rey has shared the video for her new song “Chemtrails Over the Country Club”, the title track from her forthcoming album. She’s also revealed the album’s release date; it’s out March 19.
The new video comes one day after Del Rey shared the album’s tracklist and artwork, which she accompanied with a bizarre and preemptive statement addressing the album art’s apparent lack of diversity.
The now-deleted Instagram comment saw the singer post about how she has friends who are PoC, before launching into a deranged rant about having best friends and boyfriends who are rappers – a comment that many social media users pointed out conflates being a rapper with being Black or POC.
“Before you make comments again about a WOC/POC issue, I’m not the one storming the capital, I’m literally changing the world by putting my life and thoughts and love out there on the table 24 seven. Respect it,” she added.
Chemtrails Over the Country Club follows Del Rey’s 2019 album Norman Fucking Rockwell! She previously shared the single “Let Me Love You Like a Woman”.
Last month, Del Rey also announced plans for an album of “American standards and classics”, in the vein of her recent cover of George Gershwin’s “Summertime”.
