Lana Del Rey's unique aesthetic entices fans with a taste of Old Hollywood glamour, putting a dark twist on the glitziest imagery from the 'good old days' which were nightmarish behind the scenes. She takes viewers behind the camera in 'Candy Necklace', offering a glimpse into the process of (re)creating such an aesthetic. It's a shame the minor key musings of 'Candy Necklace' are more stupefying than hypnotic, as even hardcore fans will struggle to maintain their concentration for the song's ten minute runtime (without credits). Flashes of BTS action aren't quite enough to sustain the fascination of casual viewers, despite Del Rey taking the time to verbally explain her creative concept halfway through. Perhaps this shot was included in an attempt to create some form of cohesion... who knows.
