Lana Del Rey is poised to return to the pop world with her second album, Ultraviolence and we are genuinely excited about this. Her debut, Born To Die, introduced the world to one of the most perfectly formed pop phenomenons in recent memory, and we have no doubt that album No.2 will be equally brilliant.
