FfFfFfFF 54,014 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 On this very day six years ago, Lana Del Rey released Ultraviolence's titletrack as album's third single - following West Coast and Shades of Cool. Musically the song is a an indie rock song in slower tempo, dark and narcotic. The song was produced by Dan Auerbach. The song's orchestral direction and Lana's vocals were praised by critics - however the song was heavily cricized for 'promoting domestic abuse'. Even so, it became a fan-favorite and a signature song of hers, often performed in live shows. What is your opinion on the song/ do you remember it coming out?

Pictures 361 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 It impresses me to this day that people did not get the metaphor of physical abuse with alcohol & drug abuse and criticized this song so much. That melody and her voice are just perfect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrettiestStar 414 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Ultraviolence turning 6?! Gosh, I'm old. EDIT: This is my favourite album ever, the next is Chromatica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicHot 6,425 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I was actually heavily into Lana Del Rey until this album came out, ‘cause I was super disappointed in the vast change of sound from Born to Die and Paradise. I only liked a few songs, I wasn’t into the “rock”-inspired sound of the entire record. It took me a LONG time to get into this album, YEARS actually. But it’s lovely, and very deep. It’s still not my favorite record from her but I can appreciate it so much. I feel awful that I fell off on stanning Lana because I was kinda turned off by this change in sound. But I love the growth. Some of her best and most interesting songs on here for sure. dOnT sAd ReAcT mE 2 bE sHaDy i WiLL RePoRt U!!1! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOVE FOOLISH 202 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Honestly, I think this is my favorite LDR album. From the lyrics to the aesthetic and even her weird “cutesy” voice, this album is superior...to me I personally find this album to be very cohesive, not instrumentally like Honeymoon, but lyrically. I love how every track was placed and how they lyrically and emotionally contribute to the tracks before and after it. I can go on and on about how much I love UV! This album proved to me that Lana is an amazing songwriter and storyteller. I tried to pick my favorite tracks, but I ended up adding all of them lol. Pretty When You Cry, Money Power Glory, and Black Beauty are my top three...I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
