Lana Del Rey shoots new beach video for first single from Ultraviolence

Photos have emerged of Lana Del Rey shooting a new music video, believed to be 'West Coast' - the long-awaited first single from second album, Ultra Violence.

Joined by a number of tattooed, attractive models, the US superstar shot the new video on an LA beach. The singer is seen puffing on a cigarette, joking with male extras and producers of the video - before ending up getting a serious soaking as she plunges into the ocean, fully dressed.

Del Rey announced that her new single would be called 'West Coast' on Facebook and Twitter on 3 April 2014, as well as sharing a new image of herself to coincide with the reveal. See below.
