Lana Del Rey's track from the upcoming Great Gatsby soundtrack, 'Young And Beautiful' has premiered in full. Listen below.
The track follows last week's online premiere of Florence + The Machine's contribution to the movie, 'Over The Love', which appeared online last week (18 April 2013).
Lana Del Rey fans will be pleased with the new track, which follows the sound of her debut album Born To Die perfectly, mixing sweeping American influences with epic strings and tear-jerking lyrics, including 'will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful'.
Lana Del Rey previously described her work on the Baz Luhrmann movie as 'an honour', and spoke of her love for the original Great Gatsby book.
"It was an honour to work with Baz Luhrmann on his amazing adaptation of one of the most extraordinary books ever written," she said. "The movie is highly glamorous and exciting; Rick Nowels and I were thrilled to write the song for the film."
The soundtrack has been curated by Jay-Z, who has contributed a new track to the collection.
"The Great Gatsby is that classic American story of one's introduction to extravagance, decadence and illusion," said the rapper of his work on the project. "It's ripe for experimentation and ready to be interpreted with a modern twist.
"The imagination Baz brought to Moulin Rouge! made it a masterpiece, and Romeo + Juliet's score wasn't just in the background; the music became a character. This film's vision and direction has all the makings of an epic experience."
