The Weeknd has shared another new tune and video from his
forthcoming LP Kiss Land, this one is called “Belong To The World” and samples
Portishead’s “Machine Gun.” The sci-fi inspired visuals come courtesy of
Anthony Mandler who has done some equally cinematic work for Lana Del Rey.
Lana Del Rey has released an epic 10-minute video for the
Rick Rubinproduced "Ride," her new single off Born to Die - The
Paradise Edition (Out November 12th.) In
the video Del Rey is portraying a prostitute, or so it would seem, starting the clip
off with a voice over narration proclaiming "I was a singer. Not a very
popular one, I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet. But, upon an
unfortunate series of events, saw those dreams dashed and divided like a
million stars in the night sky that I wished on, over and over again, sparkling
and broken." The video was directed
by Anthony Mandler, who previously worked with Del Rey on the video for
"National Anthem".
Lana Del Rey dropped her latest video only a day after sharing an extended preview with the
world. Directed by Anthony Mandler "National Anthem” sees Del Rey playing
both Marilyn Monroe and Jackie O with A$APRocky making a guest appearance as JFK.
The video is shot to look like a series of vintage home video-style clips,
something Lana seems to be drawn to.
