Lana Del Rey - Honeymoon

The 13th album Lana is releasing on the 18th of September is called "Honeymoon" which contains 14 songs.

The single in the album "Honeymoon" is "High by the beach" and the promotion single is "Terrance loves you". 

The two single covers has the same font for "LANA DEL REY" and the same font for the title of the single, also the 2 titles are quite bent. Also, the 2 covers use the same baby pink colour for "LANA DEL REY". However, the scenery is very different, as for "High by the beach" cover displays Lana on a yacht and the clothing she is wearing are pastel coloured and she seems relaxed. 

But in the "Terrance Loves You" cover, firstly the filter is in black and white, and the scenery is completely different as she is standing in the middle of a road and looks no where near the beach. The hair and costume is very different also, in the photo above, Lana has a fringe which makes her look younger and wearing something more simple, a plain white shirt. 

Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence

What I have realised with Lana Del Rey's album covers are that they all use the same props such as the cars. The cover below is an album released in 2014.

Another similarities the two covers has are the title of her name.

The singles in "Ultraviolence" are "Ultraviolence" and "West Coast". The cover for "West Coast" looks like this:

The colour scheme are different as the album is in black and white, however the "West Coast" single cover is in colour and has a yellow-green filter. However, they use the same type of font, and same position with the text. Another thing I noticed which are the same is the face expression Lana is showing. Even though the cover is in colour, the MV is in black and white.

Thus, in the "Brooklyn Baby" single cover, again, Lana is sitting in the same car, same clothing and same theme of black and white filters. The cover "Brooklyn Baby" and "Shades of cool" are both in white block capital for the title, and also they have used low key lighting, medium close up, and similar composition. By looking through all of the album and single covers, Lana Del Rey's style is very timeless, I feel that the "Ultraviolnece", "Brooklyn Baby" and "Shades of Cool" all look like a 70's Film Noir film. The atmosphere is very gloomy, it's dark, and becoming very retro.
