hello friends and welcome back to another day of me being the lanaoligist. in today's video essay on lana del rey (a series I am now doing that does a deep dive and album breakdown into each of her studio albums), we discuss what a moment ultraviolence was for a sophomore effort from an artist with big buzz and even bigger detractors.
ultimately the artistry of ultraviolence allowed LDR to enter a new phase of her career – where she became untouchable, almost, and creatively insulated from the wider industry pressures within pop music. let me know what you think of this record in the comments & keep it cute!!
