Lana Del Rey

In April 2015, during the live performance of 'Off To The Races' in Montreal, Lana Del Rey was riding high on the success of her critically acclaimed album, 'Ultraviolence,' which had been released less than a year prior, in June 2014. This album showcased a darker, more introspective side of the artist, featuring lush instrumentation and haunting vocals that captivated her audience. Interesting enough, 'Ultraviolence' marked a shift in her sound, stepping away from the more polished vibes of 'Born to Die.' Even in this live setting, Lana's ethereal presence and raw emotion are palpable, making moments like the one at 0:08-0:12 utterly compelling. Notably, this performance helps underscore how her artistry had evolved, embracing a mix of vulnerability and glam, which has become a signature of her style. The mastery of her live renditions reveals an unparalleled depth in her musical journey.
