By the Numbers
Ultraviolence keeps Lana Del Rey's authorship intact while changing the sound: she co-wrote every original track, sitting in the lyricist column throughout, with Rick Nowels and Daniel Heath her main partners. Dan Auerbach produced most of the album, so the composer column stays small and the lone non-original, the cover 'The Other Woman,' stands out as the only track she did not write.
Ultraviolence is the second major-label studio album by Lana Del Rey, released in June 2014 and produced largely by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys. It strips away the hip-hop textures of Born to Die in favor of guitar-driven psychedelic and desert rock, woozy and atmospheric, with Lana Del Rey's vocals floating over reverb-soaked arrangements. She co-wrote every original song, mostly with Rick Nowels and Daniel Heath, and closed the album with a cover of the standard 'The Other Woman.' It became her first US number-one album, confirming her commercial staying power while earning a far warmer critical reception than her debut. The album is certified platinum in the United States.
