Lana Del Rey has shared an update on her long in-the-works country album via a new W Magazine profile. The singer-songwriter's tenth studio album is now called Stove after previously being announced as Lasso and then The Right Person Will Stay. It was originally scheduled to come out in May 2024; now, Stove "will likely be released at the end of January," according to the profile.
In November 2024, Lana announced that the album, then retitled to The Right Person Will Stay, would be out on May 21, 2025 and consist of 13 tracks. She decided to delay the album's release so she could record six more songs. “They were more autobiographical than I thought, and that took more time,” she tells W Magazine.
Stove will be produced by country music legend Luke Laird and her longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff. Work on the album began eight years ago, long before country became such a regular sight on the pop charts. "When I was looking to make a country record, no one else was thinking about country," Del Rey says. "Now everyone is going country! I’ve asked myself, Should I retire all my snakeskin boots? Should I put my cowboy hats in storage?”
Lana Del Rey's last album, 2023's Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd., was one of our favorite albums of that year. She's shared two singles in 2025, "Henry, come on" and "Bluebird," and a snippet of an unreleased track that contains some shots at Ethel Cain.
