Due: 21 May
Did you know there’s a Lana Del Rey album on the way? The singer-songwriter has finally set a release date for her 10th studio album: originally titled Lasso, Del Rey’s next album will now be called The Right Person Will Stay and is slated for a spring release on May 21.
The singer took to Instagram to share the news. “So grateful that my 13 tracks came together with my beautiful work between Luke Jack and Drew Erickson amongst other,” she wrote in a post. “Happy for you to hear a few songs coming up before Stagecoach,” she added, revealing her first single to be ‘Henry’. Previously, Del Rey teased that two singles from her forthcoming LP would arrive before the end of the year. The news comes after the singer detailed a tour in the U.K. and Ireland for 2025.
Since February 2024, the singer has been teasing a country-inspired project that was supposed to be released in September. At a Billboard pre-Grammy event, Del Rey detailed the original album concept, saying “If you can’t already tell by our award winners and our performers, the music business is going country… We’re going country. It’s happening. That’s why Jack has followed me to Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Mississippi, over the last four years.”
Del Rey clarified her sonic vision for the album in her August interview with Vogue. “All my albums are somewhat rooted in Americana… so I don’t think it will be a heavy departure,” she told the magazine. “If anything, it will just be a little lighter lyrically, and more pointed in a classic country, American, or Southern Gothic production — which again, so many of my songs already are,” the singer added.
