When it comes to Lana Del Rey's music, most people tend to have a strong feeling: they love it or they hate it.
Whatever your side may be, the fact of the matter is she's at it again.
Her newest single, "West Coast," reached audiences a little more than two weeks ago. Her new album, "Ultraviolence," was rumored to drop May 1, but has yet to come out.
While she hasn't released an official album since January 2012, her fan base has been growing.
She has been very smart with keeping her audiences amused by releasing new singles for movies such as "Young and Beautiful" for "The Great Gatsby" and "Once Upon a Dream" for "Maleficent."
Another interesting thing that happened with Del Rey: over 150 of her unreleased songs are floating around the internet. Some are from her days before she went big. Others are rumored to be on "Ultraviolence."
Her first album, "Born to Die," hit it big in the United Kingdom, climbing to No. 2 on the charts. In the states, it was more popular in the indie crowds when it first crossed the Atlantic.
Over time, it's following grew a little, but it wasn't until the remix of her song, "Summertime Sadness," became popular in clubs in 2013 that she gained most of her fans in the United States.
Del Rey released a 30-minute short film, "Tropico," in December 2013. The video combines three of her previously released songs, "Body Electric," "Gods and Monsters" and "Bel Air."
The film was extremely mystical and featured the theme of Adam and Eve combined with the "sins" of today, such as stripping and drug use. Since its release on YouTube, "Tropico" has gotten over three million views.
Her fan base has grown immensely. In her San Francisco show, crowds went crazy at her older songs. When she sang, "West Coast," witnesses report fans attempting to get so close to the stage that people were trampled, caught between the stage and the crowd.
While the exact release date of "Ultraviolence" isn't clear, Lana Del Rey has released several statements about its sound.
In a statement released on Twitter, Del Rey said, "It is absolutely gorgeous-darker than the first-so it's almost unlistenable and wrong."
Her song "West Coast" proves her statement. The new single features a beachy, 1960s feel with a mixture of soothing lyrics and cooing, signature "Ohh Babies" mixed in. It focuses on the ending of a relationship and a new chapter in her life.
With the release of her new album, Del Rey has also released the dates for her 2014 United States tour, which can be found online at idolator.com.
The campaign for "Ultraviolence" is already in the making, with billboards popping up all around New York.
Though there is no way of knowing when it will drop, fans will certainly be waiting for her sophomore album, and we can't wait to see how "wrong" it is.
