Blues rock
[edit]No sources used previously have identified the song as blues or blues rock.
- The Daily Californian article "His rootsy blues rock meshes well with her Old Hollywood dramaticism, especially on “Shades of Cool,” where the intricate back-and-forth between her soaring vocals and trademark wailing vibrato creates a ghostly atmosphere.". It's talking about Dan Auerbach, but not exactly the song itself or what part of the song. It's not strong.
- Rolling Stone articel: "Auerbach introduces dashes of bad ass blues and psychedelic guitar, but Del Rey – who co-wrote every song but the closing cover of Jessie Mae Robinson's 1950s hit "The Other Woman" – holds tight to her pouty, cinematic aesthetic: the epic schmaltz of Ennio Morricone, reflected through the haze of a thousand dramatic selfies.". Dashes of blues and psychedelic guitar don't make it part of a genre. Not specific.
- Third cite does not mention blues at all.
On these notes, I've removed the areas referring to this song as a blues song of any sort. Andrzejbanas (talk) 02:28, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
- Andrzejbanas, I'm removing "blues rock" from the infobox as well. ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:25, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
