Lana Del Rey wrote two brand new songs for Tim Burton’s upcoming film Big Eyes, and early this morning both tracks found their way online.

I’m all for new Lana Del Rey at any time and for any reason, even if the project that inspired her latest work is a complete snoozefest. Yes, we have seen Big Eyes and no, we were not that impressed. What did stand out almost immediately however, was just how great the latest material from queen Lana sounded backing the flick. One sounds a bit like her debut, while the other feels like an Ultraviolence leftover, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. You can stream both songs, which are titled “Big Eyes” and “I Can Fly,” at the end of this post.

Lana Del Rey announced her 2015 tour plans earlier this week, as well as the news she will be supported on several dates by none other than Courtney Love. We don’t know if LDR will release new music next year as well, but our fingers are crossed. Stay tuned.

“Big Eyes”
