Lana Del Rey is releasing a new album — with an unexpected twist! For the first time in her career, Lana, 39, is releasing a country album titled Lasso, which she officially announced back in January. «We're going country», - Lana said at a Billboard event before the 2024 Grammy Awards ceremony. Lana has now released the country single «Tough», - but it is not yet clear if it will be included in the new album.
Lasso will be Lana’s tenth studio album. Her ninth album, Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, was released on March 24, 2023. It received critical acclaim and was nominated for five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Best Alternative Music Album.
From the beginning of her career, Lana has always been on top. Her music usually falls under the alternative pop and folk genres, but on her next album, she is experimenting with a completely new genre. Keep reading to find out all about Lana’s country album.
Lana confirmed at the Billboard event that Lasso will be released in September 2024. As of July 2024, the singer has not yet announced the exact release date of the album.
However, as Lana’s fans know, plans for her albums can change. After releasing her seventh album Chemtrails over the Country Club in March 2021, Lana announced that her next album, titled Rock Candy Sweet, would be released in June 2021. Instead, her eighth album was titled Blue Bannisters and was only released in October 2021.
In addition to being a country album, Lana has not revealed much information about the music on the record. Before the album’s release, Lana released a collaborative single «Tough» with Quavo on July 3. The rapper and Born to Die star appeared in the video, and their relationship was very flirtatious. However, it is not yet clear if the song will be included in the new album.
Lana has explored the country genre before, although not in the format of a full album. In September 2023, she covered Tammy Wynette’s song «Stand By Your Man» in Nashville. Two months later, Lana performed Elvis Presley’s song «Unchained Melody» for the Christmas at Graceland special on NBC. In December, Lana released a cover of John Denver’s song «Take Me Home, Country Roads».
Lana talked about her upcoming country album at the Billboard event on January 31. «If you haven’t noticed by our winners and performers, the music industry is going country. We’re going country. It’s happening», - she said.
The singer of «Summertime Sadness» also confirmed that the producers of the album will be Jack Antonoff and Luke Laird, and the album will be released through Interscope Records and Polydor Records. Jack, who is Taylor Swift’s most frequent collaborator, has been working with Lana since her sixth album, Norman F***ing Rockwell!
Lana admitted that she has «no idea» where Lasso is heading, considering that many major musicians have released country albums, in an interview with NME in May. She also said that the album will be more melodic than lyrical. «Maybe less things to say in terms of self-disclosure, like on Tunnel or Blue Bannisters or Chemtrails, and just more melody. Maybe more in the style of the American songbook», - she said
