Honeymoon
Lana Del Rey
By Maeve C.
Honeymoon lets Lana Del Rey stretch her phrases across slow, spacious arrangements. The title song establishes a hushed orchestral setting, while “High by the Beach” places a more electronic pulse under the same detached vocal presence.
Rick Nowels and Kieron Menzies help shape the record’s sustained atmosphere. “The Blackest Day” develops gradually, making the movement inside a song matter more than a rush toward its chorus.
