Calling the album a welcome throwback to her debut record, Born to Die, critics were enamoured with the latest release from crooner Lana Del Ray. With the album, Lana got decidedly more political – but with a twist. On Lust For Life, Del Ray decided to take an optimistic approach to the Trump era, despite being known for her dark lyrics and often-edgy subject matter (in the past, she has been accused of glamorizing some pretty dark subjects). The record boasts an exciting sonic pallet, thanks to work from several diverse producers including Benny Blanco and Mighty Mike. It also features some surprising collaborations; Lana duets with The Weeknd, Stevie Knicks, ASAP Rocky and Sean Lennon. Debuting at #1 in the United States, Lust For Life also made several year-end Best Of lists, including Billboard, Complex, and NME.
