Lana Del Rey's 'Young And Beautiful'
Monday 22nd April 2013 | Becca
The film that everybody is talking about, and the soundtrack that everyone is talking about... The Great Gatsby. Directed by Baz Lurhmann, with a soundtrack put together by Mr Carter, i.e. Jay-Z, what isn’t there to be excited for?
The latest track to be released from the compilation is Lana Del Rey’s ‘Young And Beautiful’. The song is textbook Lana, and when paired with the film, it is a match made in heaven. As she herself draws her inspiration from the time period that the film is set in, it was a sure bet she would be featured on the soundtrack.
The track list for the rest of the soundtrack looks like this, if you haven’t seen it yet, be prepared to squeal with excitement. It's jam-packed full of exclusives from many well known artists.
