A bit of a new Lana Del Rey single is an appropriate thing for a popstar like her to tease (and she teased it)

  • January 3, 2019
  • Peter Robinson

The one thing more Lana Del Rey than Lana Del Rey gearing up to release a song called Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have (But I Have It) from an album called Norman Fucking Rockwell?

Lana Del Rey pub­lish­ing a clip with a black and white grain effect chucked on top, while banging away on A TYPEWRITER.

Actually, maybe the one thing more Lana Del Rey than Lana Del Rey releasing a song called Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have (But I Have It) from an album called Norman Fucking Rockwell is Lana Del Rey pre­view­ing the song with a black and white grain effect chucked on top, while banging away on a type­writer, on Instagram, and for the song to reference Sylvia Plath 1, and then deleting it from Instagram anyway, all while also talking up a forth­com­ing book of poetry.

Absolutely out­stand­ing.


  1. Consensus seems to be that Hope… is the new title for the pre­vi­ously announced song Sylvia Plath.↩
