According to Wikipedia:
After Born To Die, Del Rey claimed she had "already said everything she wanted to say" in 2012. By February 2013, Del Rey spoke about a new album in the works, "It's a little more stripped down but still cinematic and dark. I've been working on it really slowly but I love everything I've done." The first announcement was after the premeire of her short film Tropico viewing in Hollywood on December 4th 2013. October 2013, Del Rey stated, " "When people ask me about it, I just have to be honest—I really don't know. I don't want to say, 'Yeah, definitely—the next one's better than this one', because I don't really hear a next one. My muse is very fickle. She only comes to me sometimes, which is annoying." May 8th 2014, the tracklist was announced and on May 14th, the artwork was released featuring a black and white cover of Del Rey wearing a sheer white tee and strapless bra by a Mercedes-Benz 380SL. Ultraviolence marks a significant evolution in her musical style. Departing from the baroque pop of her debut album Born to Die, Ultraviolence adopts a darker, more atmospheric sound marking a significant evolution in her musical style. Produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, the album incorporates elements of rock, blues, and psychedelia, creating a haunting and cinematic atmosphere. Lyrically, Ultraviolence explores themes of love, heartbreak, and existential angst. Del Rey's evocative storytelling and distinctive vocal delivery add depth and emotion. Four singles were released including: West Coast, Shades of Cool, Ultraviolence and Brooklyn Baby. The album's title itself, borrowed from Anthony Burgess's "A Clockwork Orange," hints at its exploration of darkness and violence in relationships. Critically acclaimed upon its release, Ultraviolence received praise for its bold sonic experimentation and Del Rey's introspective lyricism. While some critics noted its departure from her earlier sound, many reviews remained generally positive.  Its impact extended beyond the charts, solidifying Del Rey's status as a prominent figure in contemporary pop music and influencing artists across genres. Overall, Ultraviolence represents a pivotal moment in Lana Del Rey's career, showcasing her artistic growth and expanding her musical palette. The album continues to resonate with audiences, cementing its place as a modern classic in the realm of alternative pop.

June 13th, 2024, will mark the album's 10-year anniversary!
