Lana Del Rey performed an a cappella excerpt from her new single 'West Coast' at her first gig of 2014 last night (11 April). Watch it below.
The show took place at The Chelsea, and was Del Rey's first since November of last year. The singer took the opportunity to perform a few a cappella lines of 'West Coast', which was recently revealed as the first single to be released from new album Ultraviolence.
During the gig, Del Rey had a long discussion with other members of the band, debating whether or not to perform the song for the screaming fans, where she could be heard saying, "Just up to the chorus? No?", before conceding: "I'll just sing you a little bit of the verse without the band."
Lyrics from the song, which will be officially premiered on BBC Radio 1 on Monday (14 April), include: "Down on the West Coast, they got a saying; 'If you're not drinking then you're not playing', but you put the music, you put the music in you."
