Chemtrails over the Country Club is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey. It was released on March 19, 2021.
Duality and Contrasts: The "chemtrails" (symbols of unease) hovering over a "country club" (a symbol of wealth and privilege) represents the mix of comfort and anxiety, or the fake sense of safety in the modern world.
Prince's discussion of "chemtrails" became a major talking point following a rare, in-depth interview with Tavis Smiley on PBS in 2009. It remains one of the most cited moments of the artist engaging with alternative theories and social commentary.
