Lana Del Rey has finally revealed the release date for her upcoming new album Blue Banisters. She also dropped a new single for her upcoming eighth studio album titled, “ARCADIA”.

The album is set to be released on October 22 and it’s a follow-up to Chemtrails Over the Country Club, which debuted earlier this year.

Blue Banisters was previewed back in May with the surprise release of the album’s title track, “Text Book”, and “Wildflower Wildfire”.

The album is made up of 15 tracks and will be released as CD and cassette as well as exclusive vinyl formats.

The new single, “ARCADIA”, was written and produced with Drew Erickson and was accompanied by a set of visuals directed by Del Rey. In the video, Del Rey is mainly wearing blue jeans a yellow crop top and a cardigan set while singing the piano-driven track and standing next to windows. In the second half, she’s lying down on a galaxy backdrop with scenes of Los Angeles against her chest. The video ends with Del Rey dancing in a motel room and driving a car.
