Lana Del Rey’s new country album ‘Lasso’ will be “a little lighter lyrically”.
The ‘Born to Die’ hitmaker is known for her depressing lyrics, and whilst sonically the record won’t be a “heavy departure” from her Americana sound, she’s teased the lyrics aren’t as dark.
She told Vogue: “All my albums are somewhat rooted in Americana, unless it’s an album like ‘Honeymoon’ which has a jazz flair, so I don’t think it will be a heavy departure.
“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 39-year-old singer teased that there will be two more singles released from the LP this year.
She said: “We have two more coming out by the end of the year!”
Lana recently teamed up with former Migos star Quavo on the track ‘Tough, though it’s not known if that is for ‘Lasso’ or his project.
The ‘Sad Girl’ singer has worked with regular collaborator Jack Antonoff and country music maker Luke Laird on the new tunes.
Speaking at Billboard’s pre-Grammy event in Los Angeles earlier this year, she teased: ”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.”
In an Instagram video, she spilled: “Jack’s [Antonoff] in town, I’m going to see him work on some little songs. I’ve had a really beautiful week with [songwriter and producer] Luke Laird.”
The prolific star’s last studio album was 2023’s ‘Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd’.
Last year also saw the ‘Cinnamon Girl’ singer drop her leaked track, ‘Say Yes To Heaven’.
The standalone single was penned with Rick Nowels way back in 2012 and fell victim to a leak that saw the tune go viral on TikTok.
