@@BENTLEY please let me know if you find the Red LP with Limited Edition Cover Art in Germany, that would be great (not Europe, only Germany)

I love the cover and the lyrics actually sound really good?? I'm SO EXCITED.

I just cannot understand why some people dislike the video so much??? I mean, of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion but seriously... It's too hilarious to dislike -- the gun not fitting in the guitar case. So adorable -- her dress getting caught. I also LOVE the colours. I think the scenes where she's laying on her bed are beautiful, she looks fucking awesome. So beautiful. This is more ultraviolent than what we got during the Ultraviolence era. She's sassy, she doesn't put up with the media's shit and she looks gorgeous. I'm so proud of her!

Here is the link to the original interview. Really bad Google translation: Lana Del Rey's girlfriend of Francesco Carrozzini: I never thought our love would be so robust cliche but it's true He's a golden boy.

Meet the talented Mr. Francesco Carrozzini'yl. Yet 32 years here. You shot the last five years with the most important names Keith Richards ... when you have Robert De Niro on how much experience did you convince these names? I'm trained in the world of fashion and magazine publishing. I'm almost 15 years assisting the industry's most renowned photographers. Actually, I did not want to be a photographer. I take it as a hobby, will shoot the film in my real job I thought. T was exactly the opposite. I focus more on photography since 2007. Chopard and Istanbul 'we made a retrospective mood 74'l this exhibition, we showed up 16 business resounding. Which do you think the turning point in your career? Keith Richards have made L'Uomo Vogue cover shoot for in 2009. I showed people could take perhaps the first time the iconic names. I received a very good response in return. My self-confidence suffered blast! What was the most sexy shots you do? There are actually a few. Courtney shots I made a very good example Love'l sex. I found her and her world is already very attractive. I did not know it until shooting, though. That's why I did not feel myself comfortable. I tried to solve it during shooting. Men in the study to solve the issue of a woman I find very sexy ... Every woman who has already shot a sexy way ... But I love to capture sexuality as a woman of style rather than lineage. So also it is shooting with Erykah Badu Daphne Guinness'l which sexy ... Of course let's not forget my girlfriend Lanai. But which one? Lana Del Rey'l to two shots did you get together for a year. 'ULTRAVIOLENCE' You shoot at the clip. The clip also high dosage of sex appeal .... But just now I mentioned 'hot shot' it is not. It's always close with a long work more difficult. I have a pretty solid experience in this regard, I am my mother after all the years. Let's talk about your relationship with your beloved ... Seven months I moved to Los Angeles from New York for her. Obviously I only stayed in the winter, then I go back to New York or see them at work, I was thinking ... Your love so düşündüğünüzdenkuvvetl output ... So we can say. Los Angeles residents, we have a life isolated. We dünyamızd own. Ideal for business, already all players, musicians in Los Angeles. My job is also with them ... our business hookin still able to retreat to our own shell. We stayed in front of the house is not very eyes, giving peace of mind. We surfing, we visit the motor. But you're both extremely yoğuns. How do you spend your time together? We are often forced to make a selection. Sometimes we canceled our job to spend time together. We plan or by us. For instance, I was with him in the last tour. If you want to walk, you do sacrifice some things. Do a recognized photographer, family, celebrities, your girlfriend, star, paparazzi were after. You never overwhelmed? We have no social life. Because we have to protect ourselves. Party, blah do not agree to the invitation. I wave at people when forced, "I'm traveling," I say blah. Carezzoni the objective of Lana Del Rey. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Would be great if someone who speaks Turkish can translate this!

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. I actually loved West Coast but Shades Of Cool is a whole different thing. It's beautiful. Would have had a bigger chance.

Where did she get interviewed? And where is the full interview?

Someone on Tumblr told me that she might be referencing to Jim Jones. Here is what Wikipedia states about him: James Warren "Jim" Jones (May 13, 1931 – November 18, 1978) was an American religious leader and community organizer. Jones was the founder and the leader of the Peoples Temple, best known for the mass suicide in November 1978 of 909 of its members in Jonestown, Guyana, and the murder of five individuals at a nearby airstrip, including Congressman Leo Ryan. Over 300 children were murdered at Jonestown, almost all of them by cyanide poisoning.[2] Jones died from a gunshot wound to the head; to this day it is unknown whether his death was a suicide. Jones was born in Indiana and started the Temple there in the 1950s. He later moved the Temple to California in the mid-1960s, and gained notoriety with the move of theTemple's headquarters to San Francisco in the early 1970s. Don't really think that's the Jim we're searching though. I don't know, it just seems too easy that Jim is someone you can read on Wikipedia about. Still loving the Atlantic Group theory.

Thank you so much for finding this. Holy shit, this all makes so much sense with the AA. So if it's really Pacific and not Atlantic, then what about Guns and Roses? "I can feel it coming in the air tonight, see you working on that blue Pacific" Would that mean Ultraviolence and Guns and Roses are about the cult leader? But on the other hand, New York is on the side of the Atlantic so it doesn't make sense. I'm so confused. Lana, help us. We know you're sitting at your laptop, sipping your Pepsi Cola and laughing at us like .

I translated it too (I'm German). Corrected some stuff of @ 's translation! Read the whole translation here.

"You don't wanna break me down You don't wanna say goodbye and You don't wanna turn around You don't wanna make me cry but You caught me once ​Maybe on the flipside I could catch you again You caught me once ​Maybe on the flipside you could catch me again" Yeah Barrie

So are they still together? Or not? WHAT THE FUCK, LANA?

Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhnoFFbt4CQ Being asked if we can expect heartbreaking, sad and melancholic music from him, now that he is single: Well, I just write songs. Lana talking about dying: It's just papers, man, just papers. Lana's new album: It's a good album. Ultraviolence is ultra-good. About the rumours that he and Lana broke up: It's not over. Don't believe what you read. It are just stories.

Lana and James Franco would be a dream coming true. I'm so sad for Barrie, I really liked him. But holy shit, James Effing Franco ABSOLUTE DREAM OF A MAN!

It is that outfit, yes! I noticed it immediately.

Guys do you think she'll for sure sing Ultraviolence? Kinda worried

I don't like it that much tbh but Lana looks gorgeous and the daddy is really good at this shades of cool thingy. I loved the pool scenes and her walking on the streets! It's so hard to find a good colouring for this video though, especially for the scenes that they already edited the shit out (don't know what to call it, the spinning thing where she sings and moves).

Lana Del Rey interview and live performance with Virgin Radio will air tonight.

Someone on Tumblr has a ticket for sale! http://ballion.tumblr.com/post/88775914957/spare-ticket-for-lana-del-rey-in-berlin

“I think the album was called ‘Ultraviolence’ before I even had the songs. That’s because I just really love words. I’m kind of inspired by just a one-word title. For this one, I had a motif of hydrangeas in mind. Mainly because these flowers I love are in shades of blue and violet and when I was talking to Dan [Auerbach] about inspirations and color tones, this sort of high violet vibration was on my mind. Maybe because blue is connected with jazz and also sorrow.” Source: Radio.com interview

Love the water scenes! Coachella dress! I loved the West Coast video though, why is everyone so negative about it? Excited for this.

Finding Her Future Looking to the Past Lana Del Rey Still Stirs Things Up With ‘Ultraviolence’ The New York Times Interview: Lana Del Rey LOS ANGELES — In October, before starting an international theater tour, the songwriter Lana Del Rey consulted a clairvoyant. She was instructed to write down four questions in advance and sleep on them. The first question on the list, Ms. Del Rey said in an interview in May at her house here, was “Am I meant for this world?” It’s probably not the kind of question most multimillion-selling pop singers would ask themselves with their careers clearly ascendant. This year, Ms. Del Rey was called on to sing a spooky remake of “Once Upon a Dream” for the Disney film “Maleficent,” and she sang at Versailles for the pre-wedding party of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. But doubt, regrets, obsessive longing and self-destructive impulses are often at the core of Ms. Del Rey’s songs and videos. “I wait for you babe, that’s all I do/You don’t come through babe, you never do,” she sings in “Pretty When You Cry” on her new album “Ultraviolence” (Polydor/Interscope), due for release Tuesday. Since her emergence on a major label with the single “Video Games” in 2011 and the album “Born to Die” in 2012, Ms. Del Rey has drawn passionately opposed responses. Her songs and video clips demurely step into cultural minefields, exploring eroticism, mortality, power, submission, glamour, faith, pop-culture iconography and the meaning(s) of the American dream. She has faced, in reviews and online discussions, shifting accusations of inauthenticity, amateurishness, anti-feminism and commercial calculation (although her only Top 10 single in the United States was unplanned: a dance remix by Cedric Gervais of her wistful ballad “Summertime Sadness”). But she has also, largely through YouTube, gathered an adoring worldwide audience that takes her every lyric to heart. “Ultraviolence” will doubtless stir up more disputes. But one thing the album should immediately eliminate is the notion that Ms. Del Rey is only chasing hits. The album reaches deeper into her slow-motion sense of time, her blend of retro sophistication and seemingly guileless candor. It also moves gracefully between heartache and sly humor, sometimes within the same song. The music on “Ultraviolence” sets her further outside whatever passes for current pop mainstream. While radio playlists are full of futuristic electronic dance beats and Auto-Tuned testimonials to self-esteem, Ms. Del Rey, 28, has taken a contrary path, melodic and melancholy. Much of her music has been lush and downtempo, invoking vintage movie scores and echoes of the 1950s and 1960s; it opens quiet spaces. Her voice sounds human and unguarded, offering sweetness and ache even when she sings four-letter words. The tracks on “Born to Die” drew on hip-hop, with grunted samples and hefty beats, but now, she said, “I’m not crazy about some of that production.” The hip-hop influence was already receding on “Paradise,” the EP she released in 2012. And “Ultraviolence” is more languorous than ever. Its first single, “West Coast,” actually downshifts to a slower tempo for its chorus, where standard radio formula calls for a big buildup. In a throwback to a less-computerized era, many of the tracks on “Ultraviolence” were built around Ms. Del Rey and a seven-piece band recording together and responding to one another. The songs often float in a psychedelic haze that she described as “narco-swing.” Dan Auerbach, the Black Keys’ guitarist, produced and performed on the album, and said, “She was watching us and swaying while we were playing.” Mr. Auerbach was drawn to her songs because, he said, “They felt old and new at the same time.” Ms. Del Rey freely cites inspirations including Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, Cat Power, Nirvana and Eminem, but none of them emerged in this century. “Think of what’s going on now,” she said. “Where am I going to get my inspiration? I couldn’t think of a thing today that I would really genuinely want to be a part of.” In conversation, Ms. Del Rey isn’t the low-voiced chanteuse of songs like “Video Games” or “Blue Jeans”; her voice has a girlish, soprano lilt, punctuated with giggles. Wearing a blue mini-dress and clear sandals that revealed toenails painted a pearly peach, she sat on her couch here, sipping coffee and smoking through a pack of cigarettes, under a painting of cherubic angels. She showed off a recent tattoo on her right arm: “Whitman Nabokov,” two authors she has quoted in songs. She had just returned to Los Angeles to finish her North American tour, with a show at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall. After living in London and touring the world, Ms. Del Rey bought her house here, an elegant English-style residence in need of repair, seven months ago. The walls are newly painted in the blues and greens that were also the palette of “Video Games,” the homemade video clip — she edited it on her laptop — that catapulted her career and has now been viewed more than 119 million times on her two YouTube sites alone. The paintings in her living room are of icons — the Virgin Mary, Elizabeth Taylor — and a book on the coffee table had Marilyn Monroe on the cover. “I have strong relationships with icons,” she says. “They’re probably my most meaningful relationships. They feel personal to me, but maybe that’s what being an icon is. Maybe everyone feels like they have that special relationship that’s different from everybody else, like you love them and you think you understand them more than anyone else, or you get them for who they really are.” It’s not a position she aspires to for herself. “I wouldn’t really know how to shape myself as an icon,” she said earnestly. Many of the accusations that were leveled at her major-label debut were inaccurate. She wasn’t a pretty face serving someone else’s concept, or a dilettante. As Lizzy Grant — born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant — she had worked at being a songwriter since her teens, and playing in small clubs on the Lower East Side and in Williamsburg. She grew up in Lake Placid, N.Y., and came to New York City with, she said, “a Dylan-esque dream of a community of writers,” but never found it. In 2007, she got her first recording contract when she was a senior at Fordham, studying metaphysics. She recorded a debut EP in 2008, and briefly released an album in 2010 — “Lizzy Grant a.k.a. Lana Del Ray” — before it was withdrawn while she renamed herself Lana Del Rey. The songs on that album were already exploring the tarnished innocence and dangerous compulsions that she would return to on “Born To Die.” The production would change with her collaborators, but her perspective did not. As many songwriters do, she works with more trained musicians who supply foundations for her melodies and lyrics. Sometimes they offer chord progressions while she improvises; sometimes she brings finished words and tunes for them to harmonize. “She’s very clear about what she wants and doesn’t want,” said Rick Nowels, who wrote “Young and Beautiful” and “West Coast” with her, and who has collaborated with Madonna and Dido. “She is the captain of her own ship.” Ms. Del Rey describes her songwriting simply. “I want one of two things,” she said. “I either want to tell it exactly like the way it was, or I want to envision the future the way I hope it will become. I’m either documenting something or I’m dreaming.” On “Ultraviolence,” that means songs like “Cruel World,” in which she breaks away from a long failed relationship — “Shared my body and my mind with you/That’s all over now” — and “Sad Girl,” a bluesy reflection on “being a mistress on the side”; she also sings “The Other Woman,” a song recorded by Nina Simone. Already braced for disapproval, she said: “If you really do want to analyze me, if that’s maybe something you’re interested in, let me tell you my story and you can look at that.” The recording of “Pretty When You Cry” is built around the original writing session: chords from her band’s guitarist, Blake Stranathan, a fluctuating tempo and words she was making up on the spot. “I’m stronger than all my men,” she sings, “except for you.” A more conventional approach would be to redo its shaky, scratchy lead vocal with something prettier. “I didn’t even think to go back and fix it,” she said, “because if you know the story behind it, then you can tell why it was sung that way.” The angry responses to “Born to Die” left scars. “Carl Jung said that inevitably what other people think of you becomes a small facet of your psyche, whether you want it to or not,” she said. Her new album includes a retort: “Money, Power, Glory,” which claims, with deep sarcasm, that those are what she’s after. “I learned that whatever I did elicited an opposite response, so I’m sure ‘Money, Power, Glory’ will actually resonate with people as being what I really do want,” she said with a shrug. “I already know what’s coming, so it’s O.K. to explore irony and bitterness.” A recurring criticism was that her songs about being swept away by love were anti-feminist in their passivity; she contends that she was writing about private, immediate feelings, not setting out doctrine. “For me, a true feminist is someone who is a woman who does exactly what she wants,” she said. “If my choice is to, I don’t know, be with a lot of men, or if I enjoy a really physical relationship, I don’t think that’s necessarily being anti-feminist. For me the argument of feminism never really should have come into the picture. Because I don’t know too much about the history of feminism, and so I’m not really a relevant person to bring into the conversation. Everything I was writing was so autobiographical, it could really only be a personal analysis.” She has also been denounced for video clips that culminate in her death: by drowning, by falling, by choking. The video for “Born To Die” ends with her in a boyfriend’s arms, inert and covered in blood. She agrees that her videos have often been “exploring ways to die,” she said, adding: “I love the idea that it’ll all be over. It’s just a relief, really. I’m scared to die, but I want to die.” The title song of “Ultraviolence” ventures into precarious territory. In an arrangement that melds Baroque dirge and wah-wah guitar, the singer describes herself as “filled with poison but blessed with beauty and rage,” and goes on to quote a fraught 1962 song from the Crystals, “He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss).” The lyrics also mention a “cult leader,” and Ms. Del Rey said the song looked back to a time soon after she moved to New York City, when she considered following a guru who “believed in breaking you down to build you back up again.” “It sounds kind of weird,” she added, “but that is what it’s about, and having romantic feelings entwined with the idea of being led and letting go and surrendering. That’s always a concept to me, like I’m wavering between independence and falling into lifestyles and being led.” There’s an underlying pattern to the songs throughout “Ultraviolence”; Ms. Del Rey’s voice appears alone and often fragile in the verses, then is swarmed by instruments and multiple backup vocals. “Each tune fully represents the ebbs and flows, the periods of normality mixed with this uncontrolled chaos that comes in through circumstances in my life,” she said. “It’s your story. If you’re the one writing it, you want to tell your story right.” The next night Ms. Del Rey was at the Shrine’s Expo Hall before a packed, standing audience. There were high-pitched screams when she strolled onstage, and from the front to the back of the hangarlike hall, voices were raised to sing along. It wasn’t, like some concerts, a social occasion; this audience was devotional, sharing every word, sometimes close to drowning her out. Onstage, Ms. Del Rey just stood there and sang, swaying occasionally; when she did her one planned bit of choreography, a single hip flip in “Body Electric,” the whole room roared. “The energy is so much higher in the pit than it is onstage,” she noted afterward. She strolled twice down into the photo pit, trailed by a video camera, as fans reached for her with offerings and hugs; one fervent embrace looked like a half-nelson. “I’ve lost a lot of hair on this tour,” she said later, backstage. “The audience has been an unexpected well of comfort that I’ve dipped into recently. It was never something I even thought to go to for strength or affirmation.” But the adoration hasn’t quite broken through the solitude of her songs. “Yes, I’m in a different place today than I was four years ago,” she said. “But I’m some ways I’m still in the exact same place. I’m still on the periphery.”

Florida Kilos is SO LIZZY! Absolutely love FK, G&R, MPG and Sad Girl!

Lol when she mentioned "dragon" that was my exact thought to be honest.

Yes, I'm hoping that's the case, did sound like it in the first snippet so idk, will have to wait for it to leak I guess.
