It's dope to see familiar faces hook up again. Producer Emile Haynie, perhaps best known for his production on Kid Cudi's Man on the Moon albums, has linked with Lana Del Rey for "Wait For Life," a track from Haynie's upcoming album We Fall. Haynie, who produced the bulk of Del Rey's debut album Born to Die, has her sultry voice blast ballads on a deep, multi-faceted track.
Country western strings slide across the song's intro before transitioning into mixture of synths, orchestral strings, and sombering piano chords. Lana blesses Haynie's instrumentation with a silky-soft, airy performance. It's slow, measured, and invokes easy side-to-side shoulder swings for the melodramatic listener (me). "I can't let you in, I can't keep you out / I wait for life to win, but it never comes around," she sings depressingly. "Wait For Life" is a return to those Born to Die days, but with some of Lana's wholly downtrodden bite.
Listen to "Wait For Life" below, and pre-order We Fall on iTunes now.
