Review
So, let me dish about Lana Del Rey's "Ultraviolence," the bombshell album that dropped back in 2014 and totally rocked our worlds. Lana teamed up with Dan Auerbach, and damn, did they cook up a storm. Ditching her usual synth-heavy style, Lana went for a grittier, guitar-infused sound that seriously paid off. Every track drips with emotion, and Lana's voice? Pure velvet. The whole album is a masterclass in mood, pulling you deep into its lush, dark vibes.
Now, let's chat about how "Ultraviolence" bulldozed its way onto the music scene. Landing at number one in not one, but eleven freaking countries during its first week? That's what we call a grand slam, kids. Hits like "West Coast" and "Brooklyn Baby" became our anthems for way too long. I mean, 2015 was practically the year of Lana with her Endless Summer Tour. Seeing her live with icons like Courtney Love and Grimes was just the cherry on top. Lana's got this magical ability to make every performance feel intimate, like she's singing just to you. So here’s to "Ultraviolence"—a wild ride of an album that’s both a heartbreaker and a soul-shaker. - Madi
