Set to release her 5th studio album "Lust for Life," Lana Del Rey revisits the psychedelic, yet seductive combination that is herself and A$AP Rocky to release two new singles "Groupie Love" and "Summer Bummer." While the collaboration between Rocky and Lana is no surprise to longtime fans, it's exciting that their time in the studio has been fruitful, with each song balancing each artist's style appropriately. "Groupie Love" is highly reminiscent of "L$D" by Rocky, with his trademark pitched-down "UH" floating over Lana's ghostly vocals and spacious pads to give the song a hypnotic ambiance. The production of "Summer Bummer" takes a darker, hip-hop based direction with Boi-1da working the beat and Playboi Carti providing ad-libs to supplement the song with bounce. Although the two projects vary sonically, they both derive from the album's theme of lust, focusing on the dynamic of confusing relationships such as fan love and summer flings. Stay tuned for the album release on July 27th.
