Top 5 fanmade Ultraviolence covers

"Ultraviolence" will be upon us June 13! So in anticipation of this release I went onto deviantART to find some cool fan-made designs for the album! Here are my top 5 designs made by users on deviantART.

I love this design because it's artistic and also quite simplistic in terms of setting.
It's also quite dark and gory which reflects Del Rey's dark image. 
4. by Hyonicorn
Another simplistic yet effective design making use of colour and effects. The typography
makes this design particularly impressive. 
3. by 8BitDesire
This design makes use of imagery more than anything and this image of Del Rey
is particularly striking and the placement and size of the typography is very neat.
A very sellable design. 
2. by PerfumeManiac
This design is really pretty. The image and colouring work together to create
a really pretty design. It contrasts from the black and white image used on the actual artwork
yet it still looks really authentic and vintage. 
1. by DrewCasta
This is my favourite design because it's really imaginative. It contrasts from the other images
as it features a setting rather than Del Rey herself. It also looks typically American and really vintage.
A really unique and interesting design! 

There's a lot of great talent on deviantArt.com so I really suggest heading over there and checking it out! If you're an artist and want to share your works and get feedback then make an account.

SINGLE OF THE WEEK: Lana Del Rey "Shades of Cool"

The "Ultraviolence" campaign is moving on steadily with the album due to be released mid June. The fantastic lead single "West Coast" was released in the UK yesterday and is currently 18 on the charts.

However we now have a new track to sink our teeth into entitled "Shades of Cool" and this one takes another stripped and cinematic twist from her previous works. I have to say she really knows what she's doing with this album. The two tracks we've heard so far are incredibly authentic and really nostalgic. "Shades of Cool" has high pitched lullaby vocals and a vintage jazz beat, it won't feel right listening to this album on anything other than a vinyl as it's gonna be a great big trip to the past. Cannot wait!

Ultraviolence is now available for pre-order on iTunes where you can buy "Shades of Cool" and "West Coast"

Listen to the track here!
