Featuring clips from the "Summertime Sadness" music video, a promotional video for "Bel Air" was released to YouTube in early November. The video has received much critical acclaim with mostly positive reviews. After the release of ''Paradise'', the song charted in the United Kingdom and France. ==Music video and composition== A promotional video for the closing track, "Bel Air", was released on 8 November 2012. Filmed by Kyle Newman, the video featured outtakes from the "Summertime Sadness" music video. Spinning amidst a smoky backdrop and flushed with monochromatic blues, greens, and violets, Del Rey is displayed as a celestial being. Although not depicted lip-synching in the video,〔 Del Rey is heard singing the line: "Roses, Bel Air, take me there/ I’ve been waiting to meet you/ Palm trees, in the light, I can see, late at night/ Darling I’m willing to greet you/ Come to me, baby." ''Rolling Stone'' praised the shift in persona Del Rey exhibited in the ballad's video, noting a significant difference from her usual Americana lounge singer, First Lady Onassis-Kennedy, and biker chick alter egos. ''PopCrush'' reviewer Amy Sciarretto called the video "snoozy", "an artform", and drew comparisons between Del Rey's work and neo-noir films.〔 AOL's Spinner said: "Here's how we imagine the pitch meeting going for Lana Del Rey's new "Bel Air" video. Director: Lana, can you stand around in smoke for a little while and occasionally look at a camera? Lana: Yes. Director: Brilliant!" MTV pointed out the obvious parallels the song title gained with the television program ''The Fresh Prince of Bel Air''.〔 Noting that Del Rey was "stunning" in the video for "Bel Air", ''Vibe'' said it would "...definitely keep the Lana-obsessed occupied for a few hours." In the video description, Del Rey added a transcription. It read: "i lost my reputation, i forgot my truth. But i have my beauty and i have my youth. 'TROPICO' the film, coming next year".〔〔 Spinner responded to the ambiguous afterthought with confusion, stating they were not aware of what it meant.〔 As on November 21, 2012, the video for "Bel Air" has garnered over 3 million views on video-hosting website, YouTube. The video has since been made private. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bel Air (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
