Is Ultraviolence - Lana Del Rey halal according to Sistani?

Haram (1/5). Under Grand Ayatollah Sistani's jurisprudence, the decisive criterion is the Expert Recognition Test: 'Is this tune type suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings (majālis al-lahw wal-la'ib)?' Sistani explicitly rules that the emotional, psychological, or soothing effect on an individual listener is completely irrelevant ('even if it does not arouse sexual temptations').

Is Ultraviolence - Lana Del Rey halal according to Khamenei?

Haram (1/5). Ayatollah Khamenei evaluates music through the 3-component lahwī framework: whether it is lahwī (deviating from Allah), mutrib (causing rapture), and suitable for gatherings of sin. In his advanced dars khārij course (Session 314), he codifies concrete categories that conclusively establish forbidden lahw.
