Del Rey is beautiful This video is special. Del Rey is amazing as always and of course, beautiful as always. It's a very Del Rey video and another landmark video for Del Rey. She confidently expresses herself and I can always appreciate that. Shades of Cool, the album's title song, is extraordinary. I think the video shows Del Rey as very youthful and her feelings towards men, specifically her taste for an older man. Shades of Cool is a 60s-esque, noir-ish, dreamy, romantic, genuine, and wonderful album. The visuals of Del Rey singing in the video are done very well and really work perfectly for Del Rey. She continues to be an icon of her own.
