Listen: Lana Del Rey shares stunning new song 'Shades Of Cool'
Song is taken from upcoming Ultraviolence alubm
She's developed her sound perfectly: Ultraviolence is unmistakably Lana Del Rey from the very first few seconds. And yet, it is by no means a carbon copy of Born To Die. Del Rey has taken her music in a darker, rockier, woozier direction, but she's retained the fundamental sound that made people first sit up and pay attention.

Lana Del Rey has shared the latest song - 'Shades Of Cool' - to be taken from her Ultraviolence album. Listen to it below.
The upcoming album has so far produced one single, 'West Coast', which was only officially released in the UK yesterday (25 May). In the early hours of this morning UK time, Del Rey quietly uploaded 'Shades Of Cool' to her official VEVO account.
The new song is a typically downbeat number, containing a swooping falsetto chorus, which becomes almost choral over minimalist violins before messy electric guitars undercut it with a jagged precision.

The track was produced by Rick Nowels, the Grammy-award winning songwriter and producer who co-wrote 'Summertime Sadness' and 'Young and Beautiful' with Del Rey.
The singer is yet to announce whether 'Shades Of Cool' is to be released as an official single, or whether it's just a teaser for the new album, which is released on 16 June. Either way, it's a triumph.
Below: 7 reasons why Lana Del Rey is the perfect pop star
