Lana Del Rey returns with a hypnotic new single entitled 'Love'; the first release from her upcoming fourth major label studio album, the details of which will be announced later this year. It's a soaring, ambient, rhythmic anthem about the sanctity of youth.

The song was unveiled over the weekend, with Emile Haynie, Benny Blanco and Kieron Menzies among the producers, alongside Rick Nowels with whom she has worked on since her 2012 major label debut 'Born to Die'.  Expect the official video for 'Love' to be released very soon. 

The as-yet-untitled album is set to feature a number of special guests, though all of them are yet to be announced along with any other details of the release. 'I made my first 4 albums for me, but this one is for my fans and about where I hope we are all headed', Lana Del Rey said of the new record.

It will follow her 2015 album 'Honeymoon' which reached number two in the UK and US charts. It featured the singles 'High by the Beach' and 'Music to Watch Boys To', and was a sunny pop compilation that departed from the rocky sounds of 2014's 'Ultraviolence'. Since her last album, Lana Del Rey has appeared on The Weeknd's songs 'Stargirl Interlude' and 'Party Monster' from his 2016 album 'Starboy'.
