Chemtrails is scattered with references to its predecessors, from the “Venice Bitch”-reminiscent outro of the title track to “Not All Who Wander Are Lost”, which might be seen as a companion piece to 2012 single “Ride”.

Returning to ”Yosemite” hints at something else, too: an artist looking back to make her next step forward. “Wild at Heart”, “Not All Who Wander Are Lost” and “Yosemite”, for example, all brim with (self-)acceptance. Total serenity might not have been achieved just yet, but across these 11 tracks, Del Rey, along with returning producer Jack Antonoff, finds something close to peace of mind, reflected in a softer, more intimate and pared-back sound. Its appearance is a neat summation of where you can expect to find the singer here. “Yosemite” was originally written for 2017’s Lust for Life, but, in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that year, Del Rey revealed the song was “too happy” to make the cut. There’s a track on Chemtrails Over the Country Club-Lana Del Rey’s sixth full-length album and the follow-up to 2019’s Norman F*****g Rockwell!-that should have been heard earlier.
