UTG CRUSH: Stream Lana Del Rey’s Leaked Single “Queen Of Disaster”

Forget about TGIF. Today at UTG HQ we’re screaming T-G-F-L-D-R (Thank God For Lana Del Rey).

Just weeks after she made us weak in the knees with her heartbreaking Great Gatsby contribution “Young And Beautiful,” a new single from Lana Del Rey entitled “Queen Of Disaster” has found it way online. Spoiler alert: It’s fantastic.

Inspired by Summer and the most timeless 60s pop, “Queen Of Disaster” is a dizzying ode to young love and the trouble it finds. Lana’s angelic vocals soar perfectly over a sock hop ready drum beat and swirling strings that are a disco ball shy of starting a full blown dance party. It’s not exactly reinventing the wheel from what we heard on her debut album, but it’s certainly the poppist. You can stream the song at the end of this post.

“Queen Of Disaster” is Lana Del Rey’s brightest and most upbeat song to date. It’s bound to be a soundtrack for many in the months ahead, and if I’m being completely honest it’s definitely bumped Del Rey’s Sophomore effort a bit further up my ‘most anticipated’ list. Comment below and let us know your thoughts on “Queen Of Disaster.”

    All of her songs have a line from another one of her songs at this point. She is getting rather predictable. I think this is a fine track, but there are better tracks on Born to Die and Paradise. It’s fun, I like it, but nothing that special – just new. Also, her Great Gatsby track wasn’t that great. It was a rehashing of much of her previous work. This is much better. I think Young and Beautiful may have seemed revelatory to anyone not familiar with her work, but other than that I don’t see the brilliance. However, I am interested to see what her sophomore effort will sound like. Hopefully she is able to capture a bit of magic as was accomplished with Born to Die.
