"Ultraviolence" to premier tomorrow on BBC Radio 1 with Zane Lowe!

[wagamama 72]

I think it might grow on me. Except Betty Boop Boop every Lana song did. 

I love the live version, but somehow I expected more from the studioversion.

And am I the only one that finds the spoken part horrible? I hate it when someone speaks during a song. It kills the mood totally for me

But i love the " I can hear the sirens" part

[silver starlet 1,371]

I think it's my favorite from UV but i like the live version better... it conveys so much emotion that the studio version just doesn't have. the spoken bridge in the live version is so powerful and it always gives me chills. but then again i love the production on it and when she says "Jim told me that" the first time the harmonies are just   same with the backing vocals during the bridge

[Kommander 3,260]

Hum might not be the right place to talk about that ; but since there's a lot of references to "Sirens", does that mean that Jim is K, or are they still two different people ?

 

Also note that the backing whispering vocals during the last chorus are probably the best thing in the song 

[50ShadesofCool 3]

She is fucking bringing it. YAAASSS!!! I am here for this......i was concerned about how a song like ultraviolence would sound like tbh (i avoided the live version), but this does not disappoint. 

[C0neyIslandKing 2,206]

I've not been dissapointed by any of the album tracks so far! Even the snippet of Brooklyn Baby has me hyped for the full song! I'm so happy that I'm able to enjoy this kind of music, I really think Lana's voice suits these new songs!

[DJM 9]

Despite the admittedly awkward and slightly unrelatable lyrics (the first two of each verse - "DN"???), I love it.

 

However, the last chorus is mixed SO badly, especially when it comes in right after the spoken-word, it sounds anti-climactic and off-time, it's pretty objectively bad mixing like.

[Donatien 121]

Now we can say it: CATASTROPHIC.        Live version >>>>

 

 

Bye bye (good version) of Black beauty  Sure the song will be destroyed.... And it was my favorite ;(

 

THANKS TO DAN!

 

 

this era will be the Lana del Rey's Me. I am Mariah, or artpop, or bionic, or A.K.A, or Britney Jeans, or Kiss me once...

Plenty of spoken word in songs sound great. Ex : Homewrecker / Marina and the Diamonds, Paper Gangsta / Lady Gaga, Television / Natalia Kills, Queen / Janelle Monae, etc. Lana just didn't hit the nail on the head this time.

Loving all these breakdowns 

[Trash Magic 26,676]

i'm so excited for Old Money and The Other Woman 

[ConeyIslandQueen262 1,067]

I adore the beginning of UV, it's just her angelic voice with simple piano chords but soo fucking beautiful.

I'm not really into the part where she starts singing about Jim, the chorus and also the bridge because her voice is mixed with her own voices and it sounds unclear and not well done to me.

she could've done the talking part so much more seductive imo.

 

Seriously, the live version is definitely better. 

 

but still Shades Of Cool & West Coast >>>>>>>>> Ultraviolence

(not a good single choice tbh)

and the meltdown of the day award goes to....!

I think this one is going to have to grow on me honestly. I really loved the song and the live version gave off a seriously dark vibe but, the studio version feels a little watered down. It's too dreamy and easy going for what the lyrics are. I don't mean it should be like death metal guitar solos or anything just more simple because, the lyrics speak for themselves just fine. The 70's twang, the layered vocals, the piano opening that leads into an awkward transition. It just all feels really sloppy.

 

On the other hand Lana sounds fantastic as usual. I'm just hoping she does a live acoustic version of this song because, it could be so much more than whoever produced this track. And I mean no disrespect but, it feels like a demo. I kind of wish it was a demo.

[sweetie 6,615]

I absolutely love it, especially the bridge. Lana can do no wrong tbh

[BLOODSHOT 3,025]

[Wryta Thinkpiece 3,342]

I think listening to the live version so much really gassed up my expectations for the studio version. I love it because it's ULTRAVIOLENCE, and I really adore the lyrics, but the production just seems a little too rough-drafty for a studio version. I don't know how to feel about the spoken bridge; it sounds so different live, so much more intimate and almost upsetting. It seems rushed and impersonal in the studio version. I'll probably feel differently when I hear it on the album following Cruel World and preceding Shades of Cool.

 

I love it, but I'm not in love with it, you know?

My favorite off the new record so far! I've listened to it a few times already and I'm sure I'll listen to it all day today.

 

It's just so beautiful.

 

I heard her sing Ultraviolence live last Friday and I was so looking forward to the studio version. And it is just so good!

I've never been so utterly slain in my life. One of her best in my opinion. UV >>>>>>>>> WC & SOC
