Honeymoon Tracklist
Honeymoon signals a departure from Lana Del Rey’s previous studio album, Ultraviolence, which featured electric guitar and heavier instrumentals. On Honeymoon, Lana returns to her Baroque Pop origins.
Noticeably slower than Lana’s previous works, the album features subtler instrumentals and echoed vocals, with a running storyline of passionate love affairs set somewhere in the surreal 40s, 50s, and 60s.
In a Billboard interview on the album, Lana said:
It’s very different from the last one and similar to the first two, Born to Die and Paradise. I finished my last one Ultraviolence in March and released it in June and I had a follow-up idea. It’s grown into something I really like. I’m kind of enjoying sinking into this more noirish feel for this one. It’s been good.

What has the artist said about the overall process of creating the album?
In an interview with NME in late 2015, Lana said:
I guess the first thing that was going on was that I really wanted to have one more record out that was able to speak for me, even if I wasn’t in a place where I felt like speaking about myself. Aside from that I was happy and not really feeling like the album needed to be too cathartic. It felt like a good time to have fun with some elements of psychedelia and surrealism, production-wise.
