Lana Del Rey revealed in an interview with W Magazine that her highly anticipated country album, now titled Stove, will be released in January 2026.
The singer-songwriter had originally named the project Lasso and intended to release it back in September 2024. However, in November, after a couple of months of silence and no album, she announced in an Instagram post that the title had changed to The Right Person Will Stay and that the LP would then be released on May 21, 2025.
While we haven’t heard much about the album until now, Del Rey did give fans a taste of her next chapter with the release of the country-inspired tracks, “Henry, come on” and “Bluebird,” in April.
During the interview, she explained that the reason for the delay was the addition of six new songs. “They were more autobiographical than I thought, and that took more time,” she says. While talking about the genre she is exploring in the record, she says:
“The majority of the album will have a country flair. Eight years ago, when I was looking to make a country record, no one else was thinking about country. Now everyone is going country! I’ve asked myself, Should I retire all my snakeskin boots? Should I put my cowboy hats in storage?”
Del Rey’s last album, Did You Know There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Boulevard, was released in 2023 and received two nominations at the 66th annual Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.
