O disco sucessor de Born to Die chega ao público, dias antes da artista actuar na edição deste ano do festival britânico Glastonbury.
A data confirmada para o lançamento de Ultraviolence é o dia 16 de Junho.
O disco vai ser lançado em três formatos: CD, vinil e formato digital, contando também com uma edição de coleccionador.
Este segundo trabalho, cuja capa foi revelada há uns dias, vai incluir temas - já conhecidos - como Money Power Glory ou The Other Woman, que já tem como single de apresentação West Coast - ler aqui.
A norte-americana Lana del Rey lançou ontem West Coast, o single de avanço de Ultraviolence.
West Coast é uma canção muito diferente dos temas melodramáticos do anterior Born to Die, tendo um som muito característico e teatral dos anos 80, baseando-se numa guitarra solitária e em vozes ansiosas e intensas que envolvem todo o tema.
Entretanto, Lana del Rey apresentou o single ao vivo, no festival Coachella, onde tocou no passado fim-de-semana - tendo sido incrivelmente bem recebido pela audiência presente.
Ultraviolence conta com a colaboração de Dan Auerback - conhecido por ser membro dos The Black Keys. A cantora descreve este Ultraviolence como "muito forte e intenso. É incrivelmente bonito - mais obscuro que o primeiro" - e tem como data prevista de lançamento, o dia 1 de Maio.
At this point she has a "love-hate" relationship. But nowadays with 26 years old, Lana Del Rey has made a statement of herself proving how talented and good singer she is.
With a album released - Born To Die - on January 2012, she has released previously an album commonly referred as Nevada but with the name Lana Del Ray A.K.A. Lizzy Grant - through the label 5 Points Records on iTunes but shortly after it was removed because, according to Del Rey“I had signed to an independent label but they couldn’t fund the release of it.” She has now the rights of the record and plans to re-release it soon. Along the way she has also released two EPs Kill Kill in 2008 and Lana Del Rey in 2012.
With huge hits like Video Games, Born To Die, Blue Jeans and her last National Anthem.
On late July, Lana Del Rey performed in Sidney one of the biggest Nirvana songs Heart-Shaped Box. Heart-Shaped Box was the first single taken from In Utero, released in 1993 and really seems to be about Courtney Love - Kurt Cobain's wife.
Not imitating Cobain's vocals, Lana Del Rey did a great job interpreting the song on her own style giving this a more airy, cute, very similar to an epic anthem - at some point, almost sounding like a ballad.
Around the time, this cover was released, Courtney used Twitter to "explain" Lana Del Rey the song's meaning., quoting a part of the lyrics "Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back," to emphasize how the song was about her. Those tweets were later deleted.
"She eyes me like a pisces when, I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could leach your cancer when you turn black"
