"Salvatore" is a song recorded by American recording artist Lana Del Rey for her album Honeymoon (2015).[1][2] It was written by Del Rey and Rick Nowels. The song premiered on Huw Stephens' BBC Radio 1 program on September 16, 2015.[3][4]

Background

Del Rey spoke to Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1 about the song, saying: "It's probably the track that's the most different from the other tracks on the record. It has a little bit of an old-world Italian feel. It's kind of a weirder song but I love the chorus. It's filmic."[5][6]

Critical reception

The song received critical acclaim from Radio.com, who praised Del Rey's vocal performance and said, "'Salvatore' has a wending, almost woozy, style to it. It's a slower track compared to many of the others she's already released off the album, but it keeps with the album's overall dark almost macabre–march towards some fateful end."[7]
