With a haunting voice, Lana Del Rey recently released her new album “Honeymoon.”
Here are the tracks worth listening to and the ones to skip.
Listen to:
“High By The Beach”
A pop-ish single with the catchy chorus, “All I wanna do is get high by the beach.” “High By The Beach” is a great song to sing along with.
Disguising itself as another song with a catchy chorus, “Art Deco” is a deep mediation on wanting more than the weekend club scene.
“God Knows I Tried”
As the most sober song on the album, this song will break hearts.
Skip:
“Freak”
With a cry for people to join her in the “strange” land of California, this song is freakishly not good.
“Burnt North”
“Time-present and time-past are both perhaps present in time-future and time-future contained in time-past.”
Sometimes you just a want song and not a philosophical T.S. Elliot poem.
“Salvatore”
Best described as whimsical nonsense, this song is out of step with the rest of the album and is completely skippable.
Bonus listen to:
“Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”
It’s hard for a cover to be better than the original song, but the soul in “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” makes the song a must listen.

You must have disgraceful taste if you thought ANY songs were skippable
