Lana Del Rey’s new album has made practically every list of the most anticipated releases of 2026, yet we can’t even be sure what the record is called. As of this writing, the singer-songwriter’s tenth studio album is titled Stove, after previously bearing the names Lasso and The Right Person Will Stay. Here’s everything we know about it so far.
How long has Lana Del Rey been teasing it?
Del Rey has pushed back and renamed albums several times throughout her career, but this rollout has been especially protracted. Del Rey’s last album was 2023’s Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, but she first talked about releasing a record covering country songs half a decade ago. In 2023, she delivered a series of country-leaning covers, performing ‘Stand by Your Man’ in September, ‘Unchained Melody’ in November, and releasing a rendition of ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ in December. The following February, she said at a Billboard event that she’d made a country album with Jack Antonoff in Muscle Shoals, Nashville, and Mississippi. Then still titled Lasso, the album was supposed to arrive in September 2024.
In November 2024, Del Rey changed the album’s title to The Right Person Will Stay and set a new release date of May 21. Of course, it never materialized.
Has she released any singles since then?
In August 2024, Del Rey said in an interview with Vogue that she would be releasing two more singles by the end of that year, which didn’t end up happening. However, she did put out two singles the following year, ‘Henry, Come On’ and ‘Bluebird’. There was also the whole Ethel Cain diss track debacle, though it’s unclear whether any of that will actually land on the album.
When did it become Stove?
A year after the Vogue piece, Del Rey did in an interview with W where she said the album’s title was now Stove. The publication had previously leaked the working title Classic via an Instagram post.
Has a new release date been confirmed?
Del Rey told W the album would “likely be released at the end of January” 2026. Unless she releases on the final day of the month, as of this writing Stove is still not out.
Explaning why she pushed back the release date this time, she said: “They were more autobiographical than I thought, and that took more time.” Sonically, one thing hasn’t changed: “the majority of the album will have a country flair.”
Has a tracklist been confirmed?
No. But in addition to the already released singles, other potential album tracks have been teased or debuted live, including ‘57.5’, ‘Quiet in the South’, ‘Stand by Your Man’, and ‘Stars Fell on Alabama’.
