It's on an entirely different page than the club-ready remixes of her earlier material, but with Chemtrails Over the Country Club, Del Rey shows her softest moments can be her most powerful.
The track is a perfect closer for an album that further advances Del Rey's evolution from a constructed pop persona to a complex artist. The opening lines of "Dance Til We Die" refer to "covering Joni" and the next song is a pristine cover of Joni Mitchell's Ladies of the Canyon classic "For Free," with vocal contributions from Weyes Blood and Zella Day. "Wild at Heart" includes one of several moments where she alters her phrasing to fit extra lyrics into a single line, wondering aloud about what would happen if she escaped her music career for a more frivolous existence. Her music has been noted by critics for its stylized cinematic quality, its preoccupation with themes of tragic romance, glamour, and melancholia, and its references to pop culture. As we entered the Trump era, however, even Lana. Lana Del Rey Elizabeth Woolridge Grant (born June 21, 1985), known professionally as Lana Del Rey, is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer. There are more tendencies toward ghostly folk, as with the acoustic guitars and bongos of "Yosemite" or the lonely, drifting strumming of "Not All Who Wander Are Lost." Del Rey experiments with expanding the depths of her long-established persona, occasionally breaking the fourth wall with overtly personal lyrics. Del Rey’s next three albums 2015’s Honeymoon, 2017’s Lust for Life, and 2019’s Norman Fucking Rockwell were increasingly acclaimed.
While NFR! also had a restrained approach, there were multiple moments of accessible pop in the moody cover of Sublime's "Doin' Time" and the classic rock grandeur of "The Greatest." There's barely a hint of that here, with the booming bass and steady drum loop of "Dark But Just a Game" being the closest Chemtrails gets to pop production.
