Review by: Emma Comeaux
1. Sad Girl- I love how you can hear the sadness in her voice and personally I can relate to this song a lot. One of the lines states "being a bad bitch on the side," but the chorus suggests she's having second thoughts. Also, another line states, "he's got the fire," which she sings very strongly. Then she comes back with, "watch what you say to me, careful who you're talking to," does this mean maybe she is getting tired of getting burned by his flames? Just a thought I had listening to this song.
2. Old Money- First off, I love her old bluesy voice in this track. It seems as if she is talking back to her youth. She also talks about her fathers strong love and her mothers glamour. The line after she talks about her parents she says, "yet I still felt alone, for reasons unknown to me." She also says, "but if you send for me I'll come." My thought is maybe her parents were very wealthy and didn't have much time for her, but she would still go back.
3. Brooklyn Baby- This track is very upbeat. In many of her tracks I'm noticing she's playing a young brave face. My favorite part of this track is the first half of the second verse. It states how they say she's too young too love and she's too dumb to see. Which is very true, people say those kind of things all the time. What I really like about this song is some of the verses are very poetic.
4. Fucked My Way Up To The Top- She is very outspoken on this song, she sings what she feels. It sounds like she's attacking someone. She says "I fucked my way up to the top, this is my show," could possibly be her way to responding to gossipers.
5. Pretty When You Cry- She has a very rustic sound in this track. It's talking about a guy who always lets her down; which again I can relate to. She goes back to all there memories and states she's pretty when she cries and she doesn't need the memories.
6. Cruel World- She has a very bluesy voice in this track, also. In this track, it sounds like she's removed herself from a a very destructive relationship. She says "I shared my body and mind with you, and that's all over now." She sounds very relieved about that.
7. Ultraviolence- First off I love the music in this track, it's very relaxing. I love how she says, "Cause I was filled with poison- but blessed was blessed with beauty and rage."
8. Shades Of Blue- She sounds very broken in this track, like she's hurt. She's says, "but I can't fix him, can't make him better." She is referring to her boyfriend, who is on drugs it sounds like. I relate to a lot of Lana's songs, this again is one of them.
9. West Coast- I'm loving the upbeat music in this track, it's very bold! She's falling in love on the west coast. This song is very catchy and true. She explains the feelings you get when you're in love. I think this is one of my favorite songs on this album.
10. Money Power Glory- She brings back the bluesy voice in this track. She wants all his money, power, and glory. She says, "dope and diamonds, that's all I'm about." Which is very true, in most her songs she's talking about those two things.
11. The Other Woman- In this track she lets her voice quiver. You can feel the sadness in her voice. I think there is another woman, but she has also played that part and that's why she knows it so well.
All in all, the Ultraviolence album was great. Her voice never fails to surprise me.
