UTG CRUSH: Stream Lana Del Rey’s Leaked Single “Queen Of Disaster”

Forget about TGIF. Today at UTG HQ we’re screaming T-G-F-L-D-R (Thank God For Lana Del Rey).

Just weeks after she made us weak in the knees with her heartbreaking Great Gatsby contribution “Young And Beautiful,” a new single from Lana Del Rey entitled “Queen Of Disaster” has found it way online. Spoiler alert: It’s fantastic.

Inspired by Summer and the most timeless 60s pop, “Queen Of Disaster” is a dizzying ode to young love and the trouble it finds. Lana’s angelic vocals soar perfectly over a sock hop ready drum beat and swirling strings that are a disco ball shy …

Before you head out to the multiplex this evening, you need to watch the following video.

As if we needed another reason to be happy on a Friday, Lana Del Rey has us scribbling love notes on our Tumblrs and digging through gif libraries in an attempt to summarize just how much we love her official video for “Young And Beautiful.”

Released earlier today, the video for Del Rey’s contribution to the latest film adaptation of The Great Gatsby looks and feels as timeless as the song (and famous novel) that inspired them. Del Rey appears with her signature slight …

MUSIC VIDEO: Lana Del Rey – “Ride”

In 2012, no one does epic quite like Lana Del Rey. The “Video Games” singer has already made a splash this year with her larger-than-life persona and videos that feel more like films, but today’s clip might be the one that takes the cake. Sticking with her Americana theme, Lana falls in love with a member of Hell’s Angels and takes off across the desert on an adventure of love and heartache set against her haunting vocals. You can view the video after the jump.

Now this should probably go without saying (or, uh, writing), but if Lana Del Rey’s …
