Lo-fi blues musician, Willis Earl Beal has streamed what he calls a “response” to Lana Del Rey’s recently-leaked track ‘Black Beauty’.
Not only a response track, the song by Beal also samples Lana’s original number – which surfaced online last month, expected to feature on her upcoming second album.
Beal himself is set to release his second album, with Nobody Knows coming on 9 September via XL Recordings.
Take a listen to this track below, via Pitchfork.
