Lana Del Rey Cover ‘Blue Skies’ For ‘The New Look’

For her contribution, Del Rey performed her rendition of Irving Berlin’s 1926 song “Blue Skies.” The song was originally part of a Rodgers and Hart musical, but became an independent hit after the recorded version was released. Over the decades, the song has been performed by famous artists such as Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald and Willie Nelson.

Del Rey added her own unique touch to her rendition of “Blue Skies,” accompanied by bass and the sound of trumpets and trombones.

The singer and Antonoff are longtime friends and collaborators. Antonoff, a recent Grammy winner for Non-Classical Producer of the Year, produced Lana’s latest album, Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd. He’s also working with the singer on her upcoming country album, Lasso.

The first three episodes of the series “The New Look” are already available on the Apple TV platform. Listen to Lana’s rendition of “Blue Skies” below:
