Lana Del Rey's career has been quite the interesting topic to discuss. Literally coming out of nowhere with her debut major label album, Born to Die, and met with polarizing reviews from music critics for the two years afterwards, she became an elusive part of the indie scene until the Cedric Gervais remix of her song "Summertime Sadness" got her some mainstream coverage. I first heard about her in 2012 through VH1, and three years later, I can state that I've become a real fan of hers. It's something about her ethereal persona and the lush atmospheres that she has for her songs that has me coming back.With her second album, Ultraviolence, things took a turn for the better. Music critics started to fall in love with her music, and the album received collectively positive reviews (meanwhile, some YouTube critics just wanted Ultraviolence to jump off the face of the earth). That album was definitely one of my favorites of last year, as Lana's lyrics and singing blended perfectly with the 70's surf rock instrumentals and the subdued darkness the album had. Even if some of the songs went on for a little too long, I still found myself drawn to the complicated character that is Lana Del Rey.
Fast forward a year later, and we already have a new album from Del Rey. This record, Honeymoon, focuses on the same themes that she has touched upon time and time again, but this time, she worked and co-produced with only two main producers: Rick Nowels and Kieron Menzies. With her new content being worked on by one of the people she's worked with in the past, and with an album solely produced by herself and two other people, did Lana deliver another winner? Or was this album a disappointment?
