Lana Del Rey 'Love' Music Video News: Song Celebrates Youth and Its Infinite Possibilities
Lana Del Rey is arguably one of the singers who have a signature voice that can be recognized immediately. This uniqueness of hers transcends her vocal prowess and is further illustrated in her music video.
In the video for her latest song "Love," Del Rey and the rest of the crew are shown in a vintage-styled cinematography, seen in black and white. Scenes of teens in love while living their life to the fullest are also flashed, as the hue turns from monochromatic to the classic colorful rendering.
Her voice alone is already enough to make listeners believe it is an otherworldly experience, but the video emphasizes that further as they travel through space. Arriving at a seemingly similar yet more regal representation of Earth, the teens are sprawling with life and joy. Lana and the band, in the classiest style possible, are playing the song on the moon.
What's special about the video is not the fact that it sends everyone on an epic journey through uncharted corners of the universe, but how the youth is represented. From the time when everything was just black and white up until everyone was on a place they never imagined they could be, it celebrates the infinite possibilities the youth can achieve.
This is also mentioned in Del Rey's lyrics. "Look at you kids, you know you're the coolest. The world is yours and you can't refuse it," is how the song professes its faith on the new generation.
The fans behind her have been so ecstatic with her return and have aired on Twitter their excitement. Most of them call her "Angel," probably because of her one-of-a-kind voice, and the reception has been overwhelmingly positive.
Her last music video, "Freak," has amassed more than 21 million views on YouTube. With "Love" already on its third day after its release, it already has close to 7.5 million hits and counting, which merely shows her fans are glad to see her again after a year.
