Lana Del Rey has debuted her video for High by the Beach, and it shows the singer taking aim at the celebrity gossip industry – literally. After Lana’s relaxing day at her idyllic beachside pad is interrupted by a helicopter containing a long lens photographer, the singer grabs a massive gun hidden inside a guitar case and proceeds to blow up the chopper. As it to underscore her point, she’s seen absent-mindedly flicking through a gossip magazine shortly before she goes postal on the intrusive paparazzo.
High by the Beach is the first video from Lana’s hotly-anticipated third album Honeymoon, which is due later this year. Lana revealed on Instagram last month that the album will feature 14 tracks, “some with a muddy trap energy and some inspired by late-night Miles Davis drives”.
