Lana del Rey finally releases a new song taken from her next album, which has changed its name and form several times, and still has no release date or confirmed tracklist. Just rumored.
As its teaser left on the networks predicted, ‘White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter’, our Song of the Day this Wednesday, is dark and disturbing, with hints of a soundtrack and inspiration in remote decades of the 20th century. For a couple of seconds, it contains a very Spanish arrangement, like Manuel de Falla, zarzuela or pasodoble.
The ghostly character of the first seconds – taken from ‘Laura’ by Ella Fitzgerald – corresponds to lyrics that are also ghostly, not devoid of humor in their mentions of cocaine and cooking. In fact, she jokes about how “bad she is at baking” in a song that contains credits from her sister, her brother-in-law and her own husband, Jeremy Dufrene.
The song’s title was already one of his impossible puns, with references to a white falcon and a hunter. 100% Lana del Rey, “White Feather Hawk” contains a verse that confesses: “everyone knows I’ve had problems, but it’s been three summers, and I know it’s strange watching me cook for my husband.”
Between expressions like “positively voodoo” and rhymes like “Whoopsie-daisy, do you think it’s okay?” / Whoopsie-daisy, deposition cocaine”, we are looking at one of the funniest and most distinctive recordings of a Lana del Rey who was grateful for some kind of forward movement. It seems that this is not going to be that country album at all.
