Nine songs have already been written for Lana Del Rey’s new album ‘Honeymoon‘ it has emerged today, penned by the star following the critical success scored by her last LP ‘Ultraviolence.

Baring all in a recent conversation with ‘Billboard‘, Rey revealed:

It’s very different from the last one and similar to the first two, Born to Die andParadise. I finished my last one [Ultraviolence] in March and released it in June and I had a follow-up idea.

A release date for the project is yet to be announced
