Love still hurts for pop noir icon

POP noir singer Lana Del Rey enjoyed a flurry of interest this week as she debuted a song from her upcoming album that returns to familiar themes of rough, troubled love.

“Honeymoon,” the title track from the New York-born singer’s upcoming album, soared on Wednesday to the top of the Billboard Trending 140 list within hours of its release.

By late in the day, “Honeymoon” was overtaken by the latest single of teen pop star Austin Mahone in the chart, which ranks songs by the frequency of shares on Twitter.

“Honeymoon” pursues similar darkly fatalistic and melancholy subject matter to her last album, 2014’s “Ultraviolence.”

Its verses include the lines: “We both know the history of violence that surrounds you / But I’m not scared, there’s nothing to lose now that I’ve found you.”

Del Rey did not reveal a release date for the full album “Honeymoon.”
