Lana Del Rey enlisted Harlem’s own A$AP Rocky for the clip for her new single “National Anthem.” The two artists have already collaborated on “Ridin,'” which exists as a behind-the-scenes YouTube video though no track has surfaced yet.
Rocky spoke to Billboard on his relationship with the singer:
“I first had had a crush on her from seeing her on the Internet — I fell in love with her voice the first time I heard it,” said Rocky. “I probably heard it in July, August for the first time, I think it was ‘Blue Jeans.’ And from then on, I’m like… I love her! Mind you, we never even spoke to each other, and then in Complex [magazine], when she said I was her favorite rapper, I was like, ‘Oh fuck no, man. I gotta work with her! My dream girl acknowledges me!'”
In the trailer, Lana channels her inner Jackie O while gets political as JFK. Just from the first glimpse, the full vid’s going to be crazy — but aren’t Lana Del Rey videos just mishmashed snippets and vignettes already?
