Ask even the most devout Lana Del Rey fan what her upcoming music release plans are, and even they will tell you they have no idea. We've been waiting a few years now for the release of an ambiguously titled tenth studio album from the singer, and have even received a single back in February, but now there's even more to picture.
Everything we know so far about Lana Del Rey's new music, below.
There will be two new albums
In a new update to fans, Del Rey revealed that the past four years have been marked by delays, uncertainty, and personal reflection, ultimately resulting in not one but two albums.
She explained that while Stove remains the record they originally set out to make, the long process of completing it also inspired a second companion album that documents everything they experienced along the way, describing it as a commentary on the patience, self-doubt, hope and unexpected life changes that shaped the period.
She has confirmed that both albums are now nearing completion, with around a month of final work remaining before they are sent to vinyl.

So when are both new albums dropping?
According to Del Rey's most recent Instagram update, with about a month left of post-production on both albums, that should put us firmly on the timeline of a late-August, early-September 2026 release for both.
When did her last new single drop?
It dropped on 17 February 2026.
The new track was announced in an Instagram Story shared by the singer on 7 February, where she gave followers an update on the progress of her upcoming 10th album Stove.
“I just wanted to make a little message and let you know that my new single and my favourite song – this is the one I’ve been waiting for – White Feather-Hawk Tail Deer Hunter is coming out on the 17th,” Del Rey's Instagram Story said.

What do we know about the song so far?
The track was co-written with Del Rey’s husband – yes, alligator tour boat operator and Louisiana native Jeremy Dufrene – along with members of her family. The production again pairs her with longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff, whom she credited with finally locating the “magical chord” she had been missing.
She’s already calling the song her favourite, and the one she had been waiting to release. Del Rey framed the single not as filler between album cycles but as a statement of intent — the track that clarifies what this long-in-development project is supposed to be.
What will it sound like?
Del Rey's suggested the new record will be lighter and more melodic than Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, while retaining the country-adjacent textures and American Songbook references she has been circling in recent years – if that's anything to go by for a sonic prediction.
For a real taste of the record – last April, Del Rey released the first singles from the upcoming album – Henry, Come On and Bluebird – so you can have a listen to those for more of a sonic barometer. But White Feather-Hawk Tail Deer Hunter will be the first new music since then.
Why did the album name change?
The album is now titled Stove, following years of teasing and rescheduling.
Before becoming Stove, the project carried the title The Right Person Will Stay – itself a revision of an earlier concept called Lasso. Each rename arrived with new songs and extended deadlines, including a late decision to add six more tracks.
