On the follow up to her successful debut, Born To Die, Ultraviolence finds Lana Del Rey fine-tuning her trademark, melodramatic sound. Beautiful and dark, her second release is more complete and powerful than her past work.Many things from her first release still remain. A spoken word section on the title track similar to the one on “This is what Makes Us Girls” and hip-hop influenced beats are still present. The minimalist aesthetic, which made Born so unique, still exists here as well, most songs having on a bass beat and vocals with a piano or a guitar added in.
