First Lana Del Rey popped up in luxurious angora sweaters and tailored blazers as the face of H&M's fall advertising campaign, now thanks to Jaguar, she's got a car to match, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Del Rey is plugging the automaker's new two-seater F-Type, though you won't actually see the car: the sultry singer is very much the focus of the ads, which show her at the edge of a swimming pool in a sun hat and white bathing suit, and reclining on a chaise lounge (above).

"The allure of Jaguar is in large part due to its duality," Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, said in a statement. "She has a unique blend of authenticity and modernity, which are two values we believe are shared with Lana in her professional achievements."

The F-Style makes its debut at the Paris Motor Show in September. Del Rey's latest album, Born to Die, came out in January.

“All Along the Watchtower”

The Jimi Hendrix Experience | 1968

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
