Product Information

On April 19, BBC Radio 1 premiered Del Rey's new song, " Lust for Life", featuring singer the Weeknd. The title of the album was announced on March 29, 2017, when Del Rey released a trailer for the album, [12] and the album's cover art was released by Del Rey on social media on April 11, 2017.

V. Club praised its modern simplicity, noting that "its beats are subtle hip-hop twitches or electro-pop swells, with percussion redolent of faraway fireworks booms or mellifluous melodic washes.

However, he was critical of some tracks, including "Some Weird Sin", "Tonight", and "Success", the last of which he considered "'Fame' revisited".

Del Rey explained, that while the album would be in a different direction to her previous record Honeymoon, "it's kinda in the same aesthetic" and "[the fourth major-label studio album] has more to do with just like. It's original intended release was set to be sometime in April 2017, according to Del Rey in a Beats 1 Radio interview in the same year. On September 27, 2017, Del Rey announced the LA to the Moon Tour, an official world tour to further promote the album.During an interview with BBC Radio 1 on May 27, 2017, Del Rey described the sound of the record by saying it "jumps around a lot" and that "It mixes a more acoustic sound to a heavier beatsy darker sound that's similar to Born to Die". He nevertheless considered the album one of his favorite albums of 1977, finding it to be more of a "day" record with its predecessor being a "night" record. It is not so much a revelation as a promise that one is coming, and when she sings plainly, “This is my commitment,” the album cover’s uncharacteristic smile reveals itself not as a declaration of happiness, but a reminder that it’s still worth believing in.
