This faux-innocence and lack of worldliness continues on the opener вЂњLove.вЂќ Addressing the insipid nature of teenage idealism and the inane profundities cribbed from the pages of a Midwestern farmerвЂ™s daughterвЂ™s dollar store diary, she coos, вЂњ Look at you kids with your vintage music/ Coming through satellites while cruising.вЂќ SheвЂ™s referring to the simple activity of driving aimlessly for hours at a stretch, a primitive form of social interaction whose image pairs nicely with her post-modernist view of latent nostalgia in a mind that has barely lived long enough to feel it. Here again she is playing with the fluidity of age as embodied by the physical presentation. In her ornate lace-sleeved white dress she could just as easily have been captured on her wedding day as her senior prom.

Moving away from the West Coast look and feel of her previous cover images, Lust for Life finds Del Rey in full farmerвЂ™s daughter mode, a motif borrowed from the perception of Midwesterners being naГЇf, uninformed simpletons responsible for our current political climate. This is the next logical step in her long-running commentary on beauty and perception, as started with her debut record вЂ“ which featured an unsmiling, haunted looking young woman of indeterminate age and equally unidentifiable era вЂ“ and continued through successive releases that grew more complex in their unspoken critique of the 21st century woman. Just look at the vapid smile plastered on her face in the image that adorns the albumвЂ™s cover.

ItвЂ™s the perfect answer to modernity and the empty gestures and sentiments of our social media-driven world. Lana Del ReyвЂ™s Lust for Life may well be the funniest piece of post-ironic conceptualist performance art project youвЂ™re likely to hear this year.
