Lana Del Rey gives update on Stove, announces companion album

It’s been more than three years since the last Lana Del Rey album, though she’s been teasing her country music followup Stove (fka Lasso, then The Right Person Will Stay) since early 2024. Now, she says Stove will be finished in the next month, alongside a newly announced companion album.

While she has yet to announce an official release date, she said on Instagram that after she finalizes the records, she’ll be sending, “my two albums to vinyl.” Taken together, that would seem to indicate a fall release date for Stove and its counterpart.

Del Rey posted the cover art for both albums on Instagram: the cover for Stove features a photo portrait of Del Rey in a white and blue dress, framed by a pastel border of ornate flowers. Meanwhile, eagle-eyed fans clocked the word “Spyda” in small script on the rusty amphibious vehicle that dominates the cover of the companion album; that may be the album title, but Del Rey has yet to confirm. If the title is indeed Spyda, it might be a play on the name of the Hydra Spyder, an amphibious sportscar, though the vehicle on the cover of the album appears to be a different make and model.

Del Rey said in part, “Stove is so lovely and intact as it was intended to be – a classic album if I may say, a lot of which we’ve toured and you’ve heard – but not all of it.” While touring behind her 2023 album Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, she opened shows with a song called “Stars Fell on Alabama,” a song about her husband Jeremy Dufrene. This February, she released the woozily narcotic “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter,” following 2025 singles “Bluebird” and “Henry, come on.” It seems safe to assume these singles will be on Stove or its counterpart.

Less clear is whether older singles, like “Say Yes To Heaven” or “Tough” with Quavo will make the full-lengths. Given that Del Rey has previously discussed releasing a project of country covers, it seems plausible that her 2023 cover of John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” could find a new life on the upcoming releases.

Though it’s been more than three years since Del Rey’s last album, she’s been rather busy during that time, releasing joint singles with her father Rob Grant, penning the latest James Bond theme, touring extensively, maybe dissing Ethel Cain, and marrying Dufrene in the fall of 2024.
