Product Information

She is the recipient of various accolades, including two Brit Awards, two MTV Europe Music Awards, and a Satellite Award, in addition to nominations for six Grammy Awards and a Golden Globe Award. Nashville Scene described it as, "a rad little bit of Americana-stalgia, and to be perfectly honest, I vastly prefer Tutmarc's version of "Ride" over Del Rey's — it's a gauzy, dreamy take on a tune that, in Tutmarc's hands, has a pleasant and memorable melody.

Closing the review, Williot said the EP was best listened to "while wearing formal cocktail attire that has become slightly rumpled following some sort of intense argument and/or sexual dalliance. Ride" received widely positive reviews, with the only criticism focused on the unrealistic cover art and coy song title.Elsewhere, there's more talk of bad boys, cherry pie and other old fashioned glamourisms much like its parent album, but there's still progression to be found. She achieved critical and commercial success with her second album, Born to Die (2012), which contained the sleeper hit "Summertime Sadness". In August 2013, Del announced on Twitter that the film would have two premieres, one at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles and another in an unspecified location in New York; she referred to the short film as a "farewell". He singled out the lyrics of "Body Electric" (" Elvis is my daddy/ Marilyn's my mother/ Jesus is my bestest friend/ We get crazy every Friday night/ drop it like it's hot in the pale moonlight") as being "cliché[d]" and "babyish", a trend pervading the entire album.

She has described herself as a "gangsta Nancy Sinatra" and cites Britney Spears, Thomas Newman and Bruce Springsteen as her musical influences.NME said that the most significant lyric in "Ride" read, "I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy". It starts with a very good opening nearly pricks up again in the bridge but really sizzles out in the end.

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the EP has received an average score of 64, based on 9 reviews indicating "generally favorable reviews".A promotional video for "Burning Desire" appeared online on Valentine's Day 2013, featuring Del Rey as her usual lounge singer persona, interspersed with snippets of the Jaguar F-Type. Additionally, Del Rey published the poetry and photography collection Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass (2020).

Billboard praised the album's allusions to David Lynch, adding, "her vintage 60s charm just might kill you. The multiple hooks in "Cola" feel polished without compromising her rebellious nature (she opens it with the line: "My pussy tastes like Pepsi-Cola"), while the booming "Body Electric" sees her revisiting her Marilyn Monroe persona with more believable results than previous attempts. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Her ninth studio album, “Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd” was released on all platforms March 24th 2023. On November 22, 2013, an official trailer for Tropico was released; at the end of the trailer, it was announced that the film would be uploaded to Del Rey's official Vevo account on December 5. Del Rey portrays a prostitute in the video, [18] which the NME described as "not exactly empowering," and said might be seen as "anti-feminist". The last two tracks are unjustifiably looked as no more than mere fillers and this opinion is very wrong.
