    In this project, Lana showed us a different side of her, a side that is more sensitive, fragile but without losing her own persona.

    ''Violet...'' is such an intimate reading, you feel as she's telling you a story. She opens this album with one of the best poems in the body of work, a love letter to L.A., in this one, she expresses her mommy issues, her daily problems, a terrible break

Throughout 'Violet...' you can see different scenes of Lana's life, a sailing lesson wich she signed up as Elizabeth Grant to be 'normal' for once... Anyways, this is such a good project, deserve a listen keeping in mind that THIS IS NOT a musical project, but a spoken-word!

    Beautiful piece of work. Lana's poetry is just as her music, at the same time it's very poetic, elegant, clean, but still so mysterious and melancholic. I think that with this one she , once again, proved that she's is one of, maybe the best songwriter of our time. And she truly is one of the best artists ever.

    With this collection of poems, Lana Del Rey offers an alternate view of the sun-dazzled California dreaming that fuels her songs. Her spoken word pieces reveal a more immediate lyrical sophistication, but they maintain the strange and powerful magic Del Rey has been cultivating her entire career.

    While at times ‘Violet…’ shows Lana’s fine lyrical prowess, quotes primed for Tumblr captions, most of the time it’s more sixth former trying their best to impress at their first slam poetry event.
