Lana Del Rey Announces New Album and Embraces a Bold New Direction

stayc main image

Lana Del Rey, the queen of melancholic ballads and cinematic storytelling, has officially announced her new album, The Right Person Will Stay, set to release on May 21, 2025. This marks her tenth studio album and promises an exciting shift in her artistic journey, as she incorporates country and Americana influences into her signature style. Fans have been buzzing with anticipation, and this announcement confirms that Del Rey is ready to surprise and captivate once again.

A Bold New Sound

Del Rey is no stranger to reinventing herself, and The Right Person Will Stay is shaping up to be one of her most ambitious projects yet. The album will feature 13 tracks, blending her lush, introspective soundscapes with the warmth and authenticity of country-inspired tones. Collaborating with longtime producer Jack Antonoff, as well as Drew Erickson and Luke Laird, she’s diving into a fresh sound while staying true to the poetic lyricism and haunting melodies that define her music.

One standout track that’s already generating buzz is "Henry," which Del Rey described as a personal favorite. The song is expected to highlight her storytelling prowess and offer a glimpse into the deeply emotional themes that run throughout the album.

A Long-Awaited Chapter

Fans have been speculating about Del Rey’s next move since the release of her critically acclaimed album Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd in 2023. Earlier hints of a country-themed project initially titled Lasso had sparked curiosity, but Del Rey postponed its release to refine her vision. Now, with The Right Person Will Stay, she’s ready to share a project that feels fully realized and reflective of her current artistic phase.

Del Rey has also hinted that the album is a deeply personal exploration of love, loss, and resilience. The title itself suggests an introspective journey, one that resonates with her trademark ability to connect with listeners on an emotional level.

Live Performances on the Horizon

In addition to the album, Del Rey has announced a stadium tour across the UK and Ireland, kicking off in June 2025. This marks her first major European tour in years and will include a performance at Glasgow’s Hampden Park—the first time she’s performed in Scotland in nearly a decade. Fans can expect a setlist that blends her new material with timeless classics, creating an unforgettable live experience.

Lana Del Rey’s Enduring Legacy

With every album, Lana Del Rey pushes the boundaries of her artistry, proving her ability to evolve while maintaining the authenticity that has endeared her to millions of fans. The Right Person Will Stay is not just another record—it’s a bold new chapter in a career defined by risk-taking and reinvention.

As the countdown to May 21 begins, fans around the world are eagerly awaiting what promises to be one of the most exciting releases of the year. Whether it’s through heartfelt lyrics, evocative visuals, or a completely new sonic landscape, Lana Del Rey is once again ready to leave an indelible mark on the music world.
