Lana Del Rey has released her long-awaited sixth studio album, tentatively titled ‘Norman Fucking Rockwell’. The album contains the singles ‘Venice Bitch’, ‘Mariners Apartment Complex’, and ‘Hope Is A Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have – but I Have It’. The album has been awarded five stars in a review by NME, saying, “Lana Del Rey is large – she contains multitudes, and the way she balances and embodies them on her fifth album is nothing short of stunning”.

The article went on to discuss Lana’s progression from album five to six, (produced by Fun drummer and guitarist Jack Antonoff), saying, “Overall, ‘Norman Fucking Rockwell!’ isn’t a surprising record – it’s a logical next step for Del Rey to take in a journey that’s seen her grow from hip-hop-flecked pop to bohemian folk. It would be easy for it to feel like Lana Del Rey-by-numbers but she avoids that trap by making something filled with beauty that subtly moves her sound on, ushering her into territory marked “timeless””.

Without even stopping to take a breath, Lana has already started looking to the future regarding album seven. A release date has been predicted for sometime next year. In an interview with The Times, Lana says, “I’ve already written parts of it,”

She added. “It’s called White Hot Forever, I feel like it probably will be a surprise release sometime within the 12 or 13 months.” Yesterday, Lana released a music video to accompany her cover of Sublime’s ‘Doin Time’, a single off the album.

At the beginning of August, Del Rey released ‘Looking for America’, a tribute track as her own personal response to two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and a Dayton bar in Ohio the next day. 20 people inside a Walmart in El Paso were killed, with another nine confirmed in the second, separate incident in Dayton.
