In support of her latest album, Honeymoon, Lana Del Rey dropped an impressionistic video for one of her latest hits, "Music To Watch Boys To." The clip incorporates a few scenes that exemplify the track's title of male objectification but most shots showcase the singer lounging in a beach chair, women underwater in aquatic settings, silhouettes of men playing basketball and a horde of gramophone horns swirling around Del Rey.
The "Born To Die" singer dropped the track she co-wrote with "Summertime Sadness" collaborator Rick Boyles in September on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show, referring to it as one of her most favored tracks off the LP. She continued to elaborate on the song's suggestive and voyeuristic nature in an interview with Los Angeles Times. "The title lends itself to a visual of shadows of men passing by, this girl's eyes, her face," Del Rey said. "I can definitely see things."
Del Rey's Honeymoon saw its release on September 18 and before its unveiling, the singer debuted another LP track titled "Salvatore" via BBC 1. "[It's] the most different from all the other tracks on the record," she said. "It has a little bit of an old world Italian feel, it's kind of a weirder song, but I love the chorus." The singer performed renditions of 'High By The Beach" and "Terrence Loves You" for BBC Radio 1's live sessions.
The "Young and Beautiful" singer compared Honeymoon to its two predecessors, Born to Die and Paradise. "It's growing into something I really like," she told Billboard of Honeymoon in January. "I'm kind of enjoying sinking into this more noirish feel for this one. It's been good."
Although Honeymoon has already seen wide success, it failed to reach number one in the UK as it competed with David Gilmour's latest solo album, Rattle That Lock.
