Tour, to promote them. It commenced on September 21, 2019, and concluded on November 30, 2019.
Norman Fucking Rockwell! received universal acclaim. Music critics praised the album's lyricism, production and Del Rey's musical progression. The album reached number one in seven countries, including the United Kingdom, becoming Del Rey's fourth number one album in the region. In the United States, Norman Fucking Rockwell! peaked at number three, marking Del Rey's fifth consecutive top five album in the country. At the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, it was nominated for Album of the Year, while the title track received a nomination for Song of the Year. Norman Fucking Rockwell! was frequently listed by numerous publications as the best album of 2019, and since its release has been regarded as one of the greatest albums of the 2010s as well as a career highlight for Del Rey. Rolling Stone included the album in their 2020 updated list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[9]
Background
When in attendance at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, Del Rey confirmed in an interview that she had begun work on her next album.[10] She revealed the title of one song, "Bartender", saying that she did not know if it would make the album's tracklist.[10] The album was recorded under the working title Bird World in its earlier stages of development.[11][12] In September 2018, Del Rey premiered the album's second single, "Venice Bitch", in Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show, and joined for an interview where she confirmed that the album's title and its title track would be Norman Fucking Rockwell!.[13][14][15] She revealed that the album was nearly complete having recorded eleven tracks for it.[16] It was later reported that the album was scheduled for an early 2019 release.[17] In October 2018, Del Rey performed alongside Jack Antonoff, with whom she had collaborated on the record, at an Apple Music event, where she premiered the song "How to Disappear".[18] On December 31, 2018, Del Rey teased the song "Happiness Is a Butterfly" on social media.[19][20] A snippet of the album's title track was shared by Del Rey in June 2019.[21] In July 2019, Del Rey performed at the FIB Benicàssim Festival, where she revealed that the album would be released the following month.[22]
Composition
FLOOD Magazine described the album's sound as "a mellow soft rock" and noted Del Rey's improved lyrics tackle larger themes than her previous work.[23] According to critics, Norman Fucking Rockwell! features "psych-rock jams" and piano-based ballads.[5][24] Consequence of Sound described the record as featuring "psych-pop lullabies, tales of complicated, consuming romantic love, and overt odes to the tarnished dream of California."[25] It has been characterised as a "pop classic",[26] as well as embodying folk rock,[27][28] and existing somewhere between the desert rock and "minimalist" trip hop of Del Rey's previous efforts.[29]
The album features a strong influence from 1970s classic rock.[6] Kitty Empire of The Observer noted that "strings and synth washes soundtrack multiple love songs", and also noted several classic rock references throughout the album, including Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl", Crosby, Stills, & Nash, and Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy.[30] Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone noted the album's "Laurel Canyon '70s soft-rock fantasies", including references to Joni Mitchell and the Eagles.[26]
No Ripcord described Norman Fucking Rockwell! as "a remarkably sharp pop record that retains her fascination with pop-culture iconography and the rosey simplicity of a post-war America where classic rock and blue jeans ruled and takes them to much deeper places".[31]
Release and promotion
The album's cover art, release date, and track listing were announced by Del Rey on July 31, 2019.[32] The cover art features Del Rey and Duke Nicholson—actor Jack Nicholson's grandson—posing on a sailboat, with the album title and Del Rey's initials written in a comic-inspired style.[33] The photo was taken by Del Rey's sister Chuck Grant.[34] The following day, Del Rey released an album trailer.[35] On August 2, Urban Outfitters announced an exclusive vinyl of the album featuring an alternative album artwork,[36] also photographed by Chuck Grant.[37]
Throughout 2018, Del Rey shared snippets via social media of several songs intended for the album, including "Happiness Is a Butterfly",[38] "How to Disappear",[39] and "Cinnamon Girl".[40] She performed "How to Disappear" on October 29 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, debuting the full song for the first time.[41] A trailer for the album was released on August 1, 2019. It features three of the album's singles—a cover of Sublime's "Doin' Time", "Mariners Apartment Complex", and "Venice Bitch"—as well as the title track.[42] On August 22, 2019, "Fuck It I Love You" and "The Greatest" were released as promotional singles, along with a double music video. The music video runs at 9:19 minutes long, with the same shoot as the album trailer.
Singles
"Mariners Apartment Complex" was released as the album's first single on September 12, 2018.[43] The following week, on September 18, Del Rey released the second single, "Venice Bitch" and revealed the album title.[44] "Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman like Me to Have – but I Have It" followed as the third single on January 9, 2019.[45]
Del Rey released a cover of Sublime's "Doin' Time" on May 17, 2019, for a documentary about the band;[46] its music video was released on August 29, 2019, one day before the release of Norman Fucking Rockwell![47] A double music video for "Fuck It I Love You" and "The Greatest" was released on August 22, 2019;[48] "The Greatest" was later released as the album's fifth single on September 13, 2019, in Italy.[49]
Tour
On August 1, 2019, Del Rey announced two legs of a tour in promotion of Norman Fucking Rockwell!. The first leg took place in North America in the fall of 2019[50] and the second in Europe in early 2020.[51] The European leg of the tour was subsequently cancelled due to illness.[52]

Norman Fucking Rockwell! received widespread acclaim from music critics and is also the most critically acclaimed studio album of Del Rey's career to date. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 87 based on 28 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[54]
Jenn Pelly of Pitchfork wrote that the album "establishes [Del Rey] as one of America’s greatest living songwriters".[28] In his review for Rolling Stone, Rob Sheffield wrote "the long-awaited Norman Fucking Rockwell is even more massive and majestic than everyone hoped it would be. Lana turns her fifth and finest album into a tour of sordid American dreams, going deep cover in all our nation's most twisted fantasies of glamour and danger."[26] He concluded that Del Rey "has finally made her pop classic."[26] In a five-star review for NME, Rhian Daly called the album "nothing short of stunning."[58] Kristel Jax of Now wrote "Del Rey has shifted her kitschy patriotic fixation, dropping her flag-draped persona and making peace with a more complex, dystopian reality", also giving the album five stars.[60] For Slant Magazine, Sal Cinquemani described the album as "a heady collection of psych-rock and piano dirges that pour into each other and rarely shift tempo from track to track" as well as "frank assessments of the psychic effects of a world spiraling into chaos."[24] Also writing positively, Alexandra Pollard of The Independent wrote "The album is sultry and soporific, sitting somewhere between the minimalist trip-hop of Del Rey’s early days, and the scuzzy desert rock she has toyed with over the years," and concluded that "This is Del Rey at her most assertive."[29] In his 'premature evaluation' for Stereogum, Tom Breihan wrote that the album is "a beautiful opus for a new dark age — a fond look back at the world we just wrecked", calling it "yoga music for the apocalypse."[61]
In a more mixed review, Alexis Petridis of The Guardian described the album as "an alternately beguiling and frustrating experience", concluding that despite Del Rey's evident talent, "it's hard not to wish that she would broaden her perspective, adopt a different persona, shake things up a little."[57] Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph similarly wrote that the album "reveals Del Rey to be something of a one trick pony, but what a beautiful trick it is."[62]
Accolades
In 2021, Pitchfork readers voted Norman Fucking Rockwell! the 17th-greatest album overall, and the best album by a female artist, of the previous 25 years.[63]
