in june 2014, she said "hmmm im gonna make the worst album in the world". She released honeymoon, therefore, keeping her promise!
In late [[2014/June|June, 2014]], shortly after the release of her second major-label album, ''[[Ultraviolence (album)|Ultraviolence]]'', Del Rey stated she had begun recording her follow up album. Del Rey explained, "I have this idea for this record called "[[Music to Watch Boys To (song)|Music to Watch Boys To]]" so, yeah, I'm just kind of thinking about that and what that would mean".<ref>[https://soundcloud.com/lananow/music-to-watch-boys-to/ Lananow (2014) ''Audio clip of Del Rey talking about third album for the first time''.

==She also said "im gonna make an album so that those white twinks wont be able to shake their ass to it". She stopped supporting the LGBTQ movement shortly after. She also became friends with a homeless person called Marina Diamandis, who was found trying to sell her CDs. Lana helped Marina and is currently the only reason she even has a career. ==
In interviews around late 2014 to early 2015, Del Rey discussed the songs she had contributed to Tim Burton's 2014 film ''Big Eyes'', "[[Big Eyes (song)|Big Eyes]]" and "[[I Can Fly (song)|I Can Fly]]", and the sound and lyrical content of her upcoming record. Also during this period, Del Rey released a song named "[[Wait for Life (song)|Wait for Life]]" with [[Emile Haynie]] for his debut album ''We Fall'', leading many to speculate he would return as a collaborator on her upcoming album having not been featured on the previous one. <span style="font-weight:normal;">On [[2015/January#January 6|January 6, 2015]], </span>''Honeymoon''<span style="font-weight:normal;"> was revealed as the official title of the album</span><span style="font-weight:normal;">.</span><ref>[http://pitchfork.com/news/57969-lana-del-reys-next-album-is-called-honeymoon/ Gordon, Jeremy.

== Production ==
 
[[Rick Nowels]], [[Kieron Menzies]], and Del Rey serve as the executive producers on the album, the album was solely written and produced by the three. In [[2014/October|October]] in an interview with ''L'Uomo Vogue'', Del Rey stated she wanted to work with Giorgio Moroder, credited as the father of synth disco and electronic dance music, whom she had previously worked with on an upcoming project of his own.<ref>[http://popdust.com/2014/10/07/lana-del-rey-wants-work-giorgio-moroder-next-album/ Peterson, Jacques (2014) ''Lana Del Rey Wants To Work With Giorgio Moroder On Her Next Album''. Popdust. [Access date December 17, 2014<nowiki>]</nowiki>]</ref> Later, in an interview with ''Grazia'' in [[2014/December|December, 2014]], Del Rey talked about working with [[Mark Ronson]], acclaimed pop record producer who worked notably with Amy Winehouse on "Valerie", saying "I played him [Mark Ronson] ten songs that I have composed for this next album. Not so much that he added his usual signature, soul and funk. But rather it explores a sound close to the golden age of jazz".<ref>[http://www.grazia.fr/culture/news/cette-semaine-lana-del-rey-se-confie-en-exclusivite-a-grazia-720448 Rocher, Bertrand (2014) ''Cette Semaine, Lana Del Rey se confie en exclusivité à Grazia''. Grazia. [Access date December 17, 2014<nowiki>]</nowiki>]</ref> In [[2015/April|April, 2015]], Ronson confirmed he was in the process of recording songs with Del Rey in L.A, saying "I'm going to do some recording with Lana Del Rey today and tomorrow. I found this cool old studio out here. [...] She has some songs and I said I had some demo ideas, and if they are any good, then maybe she'll like them and we'll go from there."<ref>[http://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/mark-ronson Q-Tip (2015) ''Mark Ronson''.

On [[2015/August#August 25|August 25, 2015]], it was revealed that Ronson would not be involved with Del Rey's album after all. Ronson explained, "I hate to crap all over your excitement, but we just worked a couple days together and I think she's amazing, but we didn't actually end up doing anything for her album." He added, "I said it and I shouldn't have opened my big mouth, but I love that track '[[Honeymoon (song)|Honeymoon]]' and the stuff I've heard from the record is great."<ref>[http://www.digitalspy.com/music/v-festival/news/a665218/mark-ronson-wont-be-on-lana-del-reys-album-i-hate-to-crap-all-over-your-excitement/ Corner, Lewis and Parker-Williams, Amie.

[[Rick Nowels]]' contribution to the album was elaborated on in an Instagram post on [[2015/June#June 16|June 16, 2015]]. In the post, Del Rey explained "Every day in the studio with him and <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Kieron Menzies]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> is a good day. It's truly my peaceful place and in a way, my home. I'm so grateful for all of the beautiful ways he dances around my melodies, and all of the new melodies that spring from the muse that dances between us."<ref>[https://instagram.com/p/4AaTZ0zAZc/ Honeymoon.

==Sound and writing==
 
{{Quote box|align = right|width = 25em|quote = "It's a vibe record... obviously I love playing with words and they're important to me, but sometimes the soundscaping or the sonic atmospheres are just as important. I had more fun being playful with the production on this record than I did on some of the other ones."|source = ''Del Rey talking to Triple J of ABC News Australia''}}
 
In her Grazia interview, Del Rey elaborated on the sound of the album saying "musically, I’m still looking for something different, with majestic choruses, beautiful orchestrations, a type of 50s vibe with a bit of soft grunge." Speaking about the lyrics, Del Rey explained that there wouldn't be a stark contrast in terms of the new album's writing and her previous work however she was working on developing herself lyrically, taking inspiration from Mark Ryden, Fellini and Picasso for more surrealist, colorful songs. Del Rey told Grazia that structurally she was writing in a more conventional way with verse-refrain composition and a "strong jazzy influence".<ref>[http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/5618-lana-del-rey-covers-grazia-magazine/page-3#entry223337 Ghosn, Joseph.

Producer [[Rick Nowels]] stated on an interview with Sound on Sound that "at the very beginning of the Honeymoon record she said: ‘I want to make a jazz album.’ This turned into songs like '[[Honeymoon (song)|Honeymoon]]' and '[[Terrence Loves You (song)|Terrence Loves You]]'. They’re maybe not technically classic jazz songs, but they are her versions. Since it had to be jazz, we could not have really strong, big beats, so the beats were chilled, and there was a lot of orchestra, and every song on that album was in a minor key" [https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/inside-track-lana-del-rey-lust-life?amp <nowiki>[s]</nowiki>].
 
 
On [[2015/January#January 2|January 2, 2015]], Del Rey opened up a little more on the album, elaborating on how she wrote "[[Music to Watch Boys To (song)|Music to Watch Boys To]]" in a visual, noirish way saying "the title [of the song] lends itself to a visual of shadows of men passing by, this girl's eyes, her face. I can definitely see things."<ref>[http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-lana-del-rey-big-eyes-20150104-story.html Ali, Lorraine. 2015 ''Lana Del Rey talks about her Globe-nominated 'Big Eyes' title track''. LA Times. [Access date January 6, 2015<nowiki>]</nowiki>]</ref> In an interview with Billboard a few days later, she remarked "[The new album is] very different from the last one and similar to the first two, ''[[Born to Die (album)|Born to Die]]'' and ''[[Paradise (EP)|Paradise]]''. In terms of how she enjoyed the writing process behind the album, she explained "I'm kind of enjoying sinking into this more noirish feel for this one". When asked if she was still writing everything, Del Rey revealed she had covered "[[Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (song)|Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood]]", popularized by [[Nina Simone]] which would feature on the album.<ref>[http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6429534/lana-del-rey-big-eyes-honeymoon-album-interview Gallo, Phil.

When being interviewed by the Inquirer, on [[2015/February#February 15|February 15, 2015]], Del Rey talked more about her writing process for ''Honeymoon.'' She also expanded upon the surrealist inspiration she was taking for the writing of the album, saying her last three major releases (''[[Born to Die (album)|Born to Die]]'', ''[[Paradise (EP)|Paradise]]'' and ''[[Ultraviolence (album)|Ultraviolence]]'') were "heavy and autobiographical", whereas ''Honeymoon'' was different. She stated:
 
 
<blockquote>"I like to write at night. I lived in New York for 10 years. I never thought I’d move to the West Coast. Now that I’m in California, I find that I actually love writing when it’s really hot. So I like summertime; I’m a sun chaser. Everything is summertime. I’ve been banned from incorporating that word.</blockquote>
 
 
<blockquote>I’m ready to go into more of a ‘Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds’ surrealist place. That’s why I really do like what I heard about Fellini and all of the movies that were overdubbed and the actors were counting and not saying lines. I couldn’t believe that.”</blockquote><ref>[http://entertainment.inquirer.net/163131/lana-del-rey-i-was-very-wild Napales, Ruben. (2015). ''Lana Del Rey: I was very wild''<nowiki>. Inquirer.

In an Instagram post, Del Rey cited "late night Miles Davis drives" as inspiration for the sound of the album, while also explaining that some tracks have a "muddy trap energy". In the same post, she described the title track, "[[Honeymoon (song)|Honeymoon]]", as "where the record begins and ends".<ref>[https://instagram.com/p/5H_7x_TAXS/ Honeymoon. (2015) "Here it is, the first and title track off my record – Honeymoon. In some ways I feel it's where the record begins and ends... there are so many other tracks on the record, 13 others to be exact- Some with a muddy trap energy and some inspired by late-night Miles Davis drives… But I love this song because it encapsulates all of the things that come naturally to me. http://lanadel.re/HONEYMOON".

==Artwork==
 
When talking about the album artwork, Del Rey explained there was an issue with the initial photoshoot that was intended to be for the cover, saying, "The pictures were perfect but something was missing. Maybe it was the need for movement and motion or the search for a single frame that felt extra graphic." A week after the first shoot, Del Rey was in Bel Air, California, with [[Neil Krug]] and [[Chuck Grant|Chuck Grant.]] The three of them took a ride in a StarLine Tours bus, and the photos taken on the ride ended up serving as the album art.<ref>[https://instagram.com/p/6pufUnTATg/ Honeymoon. (2015). "Initially we had a shoot for the cover a week before this day. The pictures were perfect but something was missing. Maybe it was the need for movement and motion or the search for a single frame that felt extra graphic. When Neil, Chuck, Stella and I took an adventure through Bel Air by way of speeding Sunset Boulevard in a topless bus, something just clicked - and then we got those gorgeous frames all three of us were looking for."

The artwork for ''Honeymoon'' was revealed when it went up for pre-order online, on [[2015/August#August 21|August 21, 2015]].<ref>https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/honeymoon/id1032112078</ref> The standard cover was shot by [[Chuck Grant]] with 120mm/35mm film, and the Urban Outfitters & Universal Store "exclusive" cover was shot by [[Neil Krug]].

Upon release, ''Honeymoon'' was met with a positive reaction from most critics. According to Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album holds a score of 78/100 based on 31 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". This has been the highest Metacritic score Del Rey has held for any of her albums.
 
 
''The Independent'' gave ''Honeymoon'' four out of five stars, writing that the album "finds Del Rey reverting, after the more atomised, individual characters of last year's ''[[Ultraviolence (album)|Ultraviolence]]'', to a composite persona closer to the dissolute subject of her ''[[Born to Die (album)|Born to Die]]'' debut. Not only does her vocal delivery remain the same throughout, but also its protagonist’s "voice"; while the emotional impact of what might sometimes be traumatic developments seems somehow damped, as if experienced through a narcotised haze".<ref>http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/lana-del-rey-honeymoon-album-review-a-trip-to-the-dark-side-of-the-american-dream-10506097.html</ref> ''The Guardian'', giving the album four out of five stars as well, commented that "there’s a timelessness to ''Honeymoon'', and an intrigue that should linger longer than her previous LPs".<ref>http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/sep/18/lana-del-rey-honeymoon-review-third-album</ref> ''PopMatters'' praised the album, saying "Producing three major-label albums in four years has developed [[Lana Del Rey]] into an artistic innovator who fearlessly draws from style and substance across the past century, whose vision is completely original and not remotely predictable".<ref>http://www.popmatters.com/review/lana-del-rey-honeymoon2/</ref> ''Rolling Stone'' shared similar thoughts in regards to the strength of the album, saying that "whatever her intentions, they've led to her most genuinely thrilling music ever".<ref>http://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/lana-del-rey-honeymoon-20150918</ref><sup> </sup>
 
 
''The Telegraph ''gave the album four out of five stars, and described it as "an ambient album for broken-hearted hipsters" and praised the melodies and arrangements on the album.<ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/what-to-listen-to/lana-del-rey--honeymoon--review-/</ref> ''USA Today'' believed the album "shows that Del Rey's sound has evolved and matured in captivating ways", while giving a three-out-of-four-stars review for the album.<ref>http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/reviews/2015/09/18/lana-del-rey-honeymoon-review/72369924/</ref> In a four-star review, ''The Metropolist'' thought "Del Rey has found a balance in sounds" and praised how the album's production "beautifully harmonises lush strings, muddy baselines and haunting melodies, all blending to create a fluent and ethereal body of work".<ref>http://www.themetropolist.com/music/album-reviews/album-review-honeymoon-lana-del-rey/</ref> ''Evening Standard'' also praised the album's production, remarking how it "swells in time to the oceans of longing in Del Rey's voice".<ref>http://www.standard.co.uk/stayingin/music/lana-del-rey-honeymoon-album-review-the-most-captivating-popstar-on-the-planet-a2950531.html</ref>

Honeymoon is the fourth studio album and third major-label studio album by Lana Del Rey. It was officially released worldwide on September 18, 2015, by Polydor and Interscope Records.

Background

in june 2014, she said "hmmm im gonna make the worst album in the world". She released honeymoon, therefore, keeping her promise!

She also said "im gonna make an album so that those white twinks wont be able to shake their ass to it". She stopped supporting the LGBTQ movement shortly after. She also became friends with a homeless person called Marina Diamandis, who was found trying to sell her CDs. Lana helped Marina and is currently the only reason she even has a career.
