#5 | Lana Del Rey | Norman F***ing Rockwell!
Polydor/Interscope

According to Matthew Hocter: “What this album most definitely is, is a carefully created and curated piece of musical history. An album that speaks to those eager to listen and yes, an album comprised of many dimensions and layers. You see, Lana Del Rey ultimately is just that: Lana Del Rey. I see no one particular persona at all, rather I see the many layers and complexities of an artist exploring the trials and tribulations that many of us go through, something that she the artist and let’s not forget, human being, is just putting out there for all to hear. Again, something that most of us will never do.”
