Lana Del Rey has released a new song - a cover of Leonard Cohen's ‘Chelsea Hotel No. 2'!

The song was announced by Lana on Twitter today with the simple message  of “new video" on her Twitter account. The live recording harkens back to Lana's breakthrough 'Video Games', with restrained vocals and acoustic instrumentation.

Cohen's version was originally released on his 1974 album New Skin for the Old Ceremony. The song details a sexual encounter in New York's Chelsea Hotel, which Cohen wrote autobiographically about his relationship with Janis Joplin.
