Lana Del Rey's album is being produced by the Black Keys

Los Angeles - Lana Del Rey's new album Ultraviolence is being produced by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach.

The National Anthem singer took to Twitter yesterday to post a picture of herself sitting on the lap of the rock frontman and Grammy Award winning producer. 

She teased fans by writing alongside the snap: "Me and Dan Auerbach are excited to present you Ultraviolence."

Dan has produced records for a number of artists including The Growlers, Hanni El Khatib and Dr John, and the picture hints that he has been working with Lana on the follow-up to Born to Die in 2012, her second studio album. 

Ultraviolence is rumoured to be released on 1 May, after the singer accidentally told a fan the release date, whilst signing an autograph. 

Speaking about the new record, she also said: "It's so good that it made me forget about the last record. I'm in love with it. I have that romantic feeling about it."

The 27-year-old singer revealed the title of her next record at the launch event for her short film Tropico last year.

Appearing onstage at Hollywood's Cinerama Dome, she said: "I really just wanted us all to be together so I could visually close the chapter before I release my new album, Ultraviolence."

Last month she also released new track Once Upon A Dream, the theme song from the soundtrack to the new Disney film, Maleficient.
