The cover artwork for Lana del Rey’s new single, “West Coast.”

The excitement about the impending release of Lana Del Rey’s new Album, Ultraviolence is building. A few hours ago the singer tweeted out the artwork for the album’s first single, “West Coast,” along with the caption “Down on the West Coast, they got a saying’…” Hopefully we will discover what this saying is, very soon.

No official release date has been given, but the singer may have inadvertently tipped off her fans as to when it will arrive. The singer was recently stopped by fans to sign autographs recently and admitted that she is hoping for a May 1 release date in a conversation that was captured on video.

A new single called “Meet Me In The Pale Moonlight” was released online at the end of March. It isn’t confirmed that this song will be a part of her forthcoming album.

Del Rey quickly denied that the song was the new single said via Twitter this new song wasn’t the album’s first single, saying that the first single would be “West Coast.”

In addition, last Tuesday the large billboard seen below, promoting the new album appeared in in Brooklyn.
