}} ''Paradise'' is the third extended play (EP) and second major release by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey; it was released on November 9, 2012 by Universal Music. It is additionally packaged with the reissue of her second studio album ''Born to Die'' (2012), titled ''Born to Die: The Paradise Edition''. Del Rey enlisted collaborators including producers Rick Nowels, Justin Parker, and Rick Rubin. Upon its release, ''Paradise'' received generally favorable reviews from music critics. The extended play debuted at number 10 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 with first-week sales of 67,000 copies. It also debuted at number 10 on the Canadian Albums Chart and peaked within the top-five of various other ''Billboard'' charts. Charting across Europe, the extended play became a top-ten hit in Flanders and Poland, charting within the top twenty in Wallonia and the Netherlands. The EP's lead single was the ballad "Ride" which became a modest hit in the United States, Switzerland, Ireland, and France and reached the top 10 in Russia and Belgium. "Blue Velvet", a cover of the popular 1950s track, and "Burning Desire" were released as promotional singles. Music videos for "Ride", "Blue Velvet", "Bel Air", and "Burning Desire" were posted to Vevo and YouTube to help promote the EP. In December 2013, Del Rey released the Anthony Mandler-directed ''Tropico'', a short film that includes the songs "Body Electric", "Gods & Monsters", and "Bel Air". That same month, an EP of the same name was made available for purchase on iTunes, containing the film along with the three aforementioned songs. In 2014, the EP was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. ==Background== In an interview with ''RTVE'' on June 15, 2012, Del Rey announced that she had been working on a new album due in November, and that five tracks had already been written, two of them being "Young and Beautiful" and "Gods and Monsters", and another track titled "Body Electric", which was performed and announced as one of her songs at the BBC Radio1's Hackney Weekend. In an interview with Tim Blackwell for Nova FM in Melbourne, Australia, Del Rey added that her upcoming November release would not be a new album, but more like an EP, which she described as the Paradise Edition of ''Born to Die''. Del Rey stated that the new release would have around seven new songs. Del Rey's ''Paradise'' was released on November 12, 2012 in the UK and one day later in the US. The album's re-release, titled ''Born to Die: The Paradise Edition'', was available to pre-order offering an immediate download of "Burning Desire" in some countries. The nine tracks were issued as a stand-alone CD or vinyl LP titled ''Paradise'', in a two-disc set including the original ''Born to Die'' album tracks, as well as in a deluxe box set which will include both albums, a remix CD including eight remixes of songs from ''Born to Die'', a DVD with six music videos and a two-track vinyl 7" of "Blue Velvet". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paradise (Lana Del Rey EP)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
