Lana Del Rey - Honneymoon
Review
With a self acknowledging opening line (We both know / It's not fashionable to love me), Lana welcomes us into her Honeymoon - a brooding but uncaring affair, that sounds effortless. Even in songs like God Knows I Tried, Lana still sounds as cool whilst expressing disdain and tiredness.
Still holding that ethereal air to her, Lana has managed to produce an album that sounds rooted in her 50s/60s aesthetic that flows perfectly as a solid body of work.
Album closer, cover of the Nina Simone classic Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, is a particular highlight, which seems to surmise the albums mood as a whole.
Whilst still not quite as strong as her debut album, Lana Del Rey has managed to produce a solid album that is more than worth a listen.
8/10
