\nLana Del Rey \u2018s new album isn\u2019t expected until 2019, but the laid-back pop singer is certainly owning the late part of 2018 with a parade of particularly strong material. Following the great \u201c Mariners Apartment Complex \u201d (which apparently is not as good of a residence as it is a song) and the sprawling masterpiece \u201c Venice B*tch,\u201d Lana set the bar high for her upcoming Norman F*cking Rockwell record, with certainly some credit due to the new song\u2019s high-profie collaborator, Jack Antonoff. Now, her latest bit of new music from this cycle continues the hot streak.
As Pitchfork points out, \u201cHow To Disappear\u201d was debuted today at an Apple event in Brooklyn as Del Rey gave a surprise performance, accompanied by Antonoff on piano. The song, at least in its live presentation, is a stripped-down narrative ballad, with Lana showing a directness and eloquence that stands out in comparison to some of her past work. But when the \u201cCalifornia sun\u201d and \u201cmovie stars\u201d make their appearance late in the song, Lana is clearly in her wheelhouse, finding new emotions to draw from her favorite iconography.
One also has to wonder if the title, \u201cHow To Disappear,\u201d is a nod to Radiohead\u2019s song \u201cHow To Disappear Completely.\u201d Del Rey was notably involved in a dispute with the band over her song, \u201cGet Free,\u201d and its similarity to their song, \u201cCreep.\u201d
