During her highly publicized New York debut, online troll target filled what must have been a rather short set with a new song, called “Summertime Sadness”. The new track – which will find its way onto Lana’s forthcoming debut record, Born To Die – seems to follow the general “Video Games” template the singer sent to soaring heights earlier this year. If you missed it last week, check out LDR’s new single and album title track, “Born To Die”.

LANA DEL REY – “Summertime Sadness”
