Ultraviolence (Deluxe)

The spine-tingling magic of Lana Del Rey’s Ultraviolence lies in the album’s striking, sudden contrasts—moments, as on “West Coast,” when Del Rey’s cool detachment wells up into a wail of emotional anguish. Musing on dark themes—the corruption of power, money, and, of course, violence—Del Rey offers a hypnotic set of darkly tempered songs.
