Norman Fucking Rockwell! by Lana Del Rey

The album represents a stunning artistic maturation for an artist who had already established herself as one of pop music's most distinctive voices. Where her earlier work sometimes veered into stylized melodrama, Norman Fucking Rockwell! achieves a rare authenticity and emotional clarity. This is Lana Del Rey fully realised — a songwriter of considerable depth chronicling America's gradual collapse with a poet's eye and a realist's resignation.
