On Jan. 11, 2021, Lana Del Rey released the song, “Chemtrails over the Country Club.” Not only was the song posted to Del Rey’s youtube account, but also a music video to go with it. Chemtrails is the second single that has been released for Del Rey’s upcoming seventh studio album, Chemtrails over the Country Club. This album is set to release sometime during March of this year. 

   I really enjoyed this song because I feel that listening to it felt like I was listening to a poem. All Lana Del Rey song lyrics have a deeper meaning; for “Chemtrails over the Country Club” specifically, delving into the meaning and significance of the song is definitely an interesting thing to do. Although song meaning can be subjective, after listening to the song a couple of times through, I see the meaning of the song to be about the singer enjoying times with the female friends in her life. I view the country club depicted throughout the song as Del Rey’s place of peace and stability. I also enjoyed the song sonically. I feel that Del Rey releasing a more relaxing song as a single for the album was a good choice because it allows for her to experiment more on the actual album with different sounds. I thought that the vocals in the song were also great and fit the relaxed tone of the single. Therefore, I truly enjoyed this song because of the ability to be interpreted differently by everyone who listens to it and how the vocals fit the laid-back tone of this single.

  The release of “Chemtrails over the Country Club” has definitely made my excitement grow for this album. I hope that in the new album, Del Rey includes a mix of slower songs such as this one, but also experiments with more upbeat sounds as well for variety. After listening to this single, I am truly excited for the suspected release of the album, Chemtrails over the Country Club, in March of this year.
