Lana Del Rey - Honeymoon (Album Thread)
Lana has confirmed her new album will be called Honeymoon. The album is hopefully looking at a summer release and has been said to include 9 original songs and a cover of a Nina simone song.

Interesting.
Did she abandon "Ultraviolence"? I don't remember there being much said about it or many videos. Looking forward to new music from Lana though. |

I'm thrilled there's going to be another album so soon - I love Ultraviolence.

Florida Kilos and Brooklyn Baby were wasted potential hits. I feel like only West Coast was released as a single.
Excited for this album though. |

I'm really excited for this. Loved BTD/Paradise and loved Ultraviolence as well though it took me a long time to get into it properly. Why is she abandoning the Ultraviolence era so quick?

I'm so excited for this album although she said in an interview that it's more along the lines of Born to Die/Paradise, not Ultraviolence, which is a shame as I've grown to prefer the production on UV to BTD. However, anything Lana does I love and she described it as noir-esque which sounds brilliant!

Happy about this. She's clearly a very prolific song writer and I like that she's a) willing to put new stuff out so soon after the last album and b) has clearly out a lot of thought into this theme.
Any news on the Lizzie Grant album coming out this summer too? It could be a busy couple of months for LDR fans. |

I kinda got the impression Lana was done and dusted with the UV era very quickly. As if she was bored. She seemed very eager to move on.

Ugh sounds like label pressure to me. UV stalled her career (depict much better reviews) didn't really produce any hits, now she's releasing an another album so quickly and making noises about a return to the Born to Die sound - hope this isn't just a couple of songs designed for being huge singles and a bunch of filler on the album.
I don't see an issue in her releasing an album so soon, as long as it doesn't sound crap and rushed. |

Controversial opinion but I really didn't connect with UV in the way I did BTD so I'm pleased if this album is going to be a return to the original style. Don't get me wrong, there were some songs I really loved on UV but with BTD (and especially the Paradise edition) I could connect to almost every song on an emotional level. It's one of my favourite albums of all time. UV left me pretty cold in comparison. I'll be anticipating Honeymoon.

But Lana isn't an artist who produces hits though. She isn't like Taylor swift or Katy Perry who have hit after hit. The biggest hit of Lana's career is Summertime sadness, which was remixed for a commericial audience, a remix Lana had no control over and one interview she gave she said she wasn't fond if it and it took away the story and meaning of the song. Plus Lana doesn't do huge big promo like other artists, so there are still tons of people who are still unware of her. She keeps it very low key.

What I was trying to say is the label maybe trying to turn Lana into more of a hit maker. In the labels eyes I can see UV being considered a disappointment - less sales, no hits. I get the feeling Lana was left to create UV without much label input, now they might feel like stepping in.
Artists like Lana should be left to their themselves to do the music they wants to do. She's isn't an expensive artist. They don't spend a lot of money on her for promotion. It shouldn't matter whether her albums sell millions or not. UV did sell slightly less than BTD but so what. It sold a lot than Iggy Azalea and Ariana Grande's albums, who are much more commericial, much more money is spent on and had a handful of hits all in 2014. |

I hope they don't turn her into a hit maker. She should stick to what she does. Quite a few artists are becoming label puppets. In order to have more hits, more sales, more money and totally losing their integrity. That's one of the reasons why critics and her loyal fanbase like her. Her melancholic dark dingy underground image and music is why the David Lynch adores her. It's why Tim Burton chose her to do two songs for his current film. It's how she got on the Malificient soundtrack. It's her old hollywood vibe why Baz Luhrmann got her on the Great gatsby soundtrack.

UV has only sold a fifth of BTD's total. Sadly hit singles are what drive album sales these days (outside legacy acts).
Born to die managed 4 million when combined with Paradise UV managed 2 million with less promo, fewer single releases, and no re-release The fact that 2 million people purchased that album without the need of a hit single to drive them to buy it, is still impressive. |

You also have to factor in UV sold a lot in the first week because it was follow up to BTD. |

That's fair enough then you probably have better information than me. I just went to wiki which says BTD has 5 million ww sales and UV on just 1 million.

UV was much better than BTD for me. Every single track on UV is brilliant.
I'll most likely love anything she does, she's the most talented female writer out there at the moment. |

I got that feeling too. It just felt like she couldn't be bothered to promote it like she already wanted to move on (which in hindsight seems to have been the case with the announcement of Honeymoon)
![]() She fought with her label so much and was told UV was rubbish. Lana and Dan had to take the album to the producer of Adele's album, because her own label thought it was shit, and were told if he didn't like it, she would have to start again. He loved it and thought it was brilliant. Her label werent going to give her the money to promote this album when they clearly were against it from the start. |
