Lana Del Rey has confirmed that her second album, Ultra Violence, is finished, hinting at a much darker sound than on her debut, Born To Die.

Speaking with fans on Twitter, Lana Del Rey described the album as 'almost unlistenable', but in the best possible way. She does love a bit of drama.

"The record is finished and it's beautiful," she said online. "And don't worry you will love Ultra - it's so wrong and exquisite.

"It is absolutely gorgeous - darker then the first - so dark it's almost unlistenable and wrong," she added."

MUSIC MONDAYHere's what Lana Del Rey is spilling about her new album ‘Honeymoon'Zara Lisbon

We just knew 2015 was going to be a gem of a music year. If you’ve already seen the movie Big Eyes (you know, the Tim Burton movie Amy Adams just won a Golden Globe for) then you are likely aware that Lana Del Rey has two new songs in the flick. What you may not know is that this summer Miss Lana will be dropping a whole new album, sweetly titled Honeymoon. 

So what can we expect from the follow-up to last summer’s Ultraviolence? We won’t totally know the answer to that question until the August release, but Lana did chat with Billboard and reveal a few mini-spoilers.

“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 growing into something I really like,” she said. “I’m kind of enjoying sinking into this more noirish feel for this one.”

So, we can expect Honeymoon to further dive into that noir-vibe she’s been playing with. I personally feel that everything she touches turns to noir, so I’m looking forward to hearing in what waysHoneymoon will be so noir-esque even Lana is calling it noir-er.

Listening to the two new tracks in Big Eyes as a reflection of Honeymoon, it is safe to say this album will take on new levels of melodic complexity and sophistication.
