Lana Del Rey has officially unveiled her next studio album, The Right Person Will Stay, which is set to release on May 21, 2024. The announcement came through an Instagram post on Monday, confirming both the album’s title and release date after months of speculation and teasers.
A Shift in Sound and Direction
Earlier this year, Del Rey had teased the project under the working title Lasso, describing it as heavily influenced by country music. However, she later suggested that the sound was evolving, leaning more toward an Americana vibe. The newly revealed title, The Right Person Will Stay, appears to reflect this shift in tone and thematic focus.
Fans have long speculated about Del Rey’s exploration of Americana sounds, which she has subtly incorporated in past tracks like “Ride” and “Yosemite.” The forthcoming album is expected to delve deeper into this stylistic territory.
Social Media Tease
Del Rey’s Instagram announcement sparked immediate excitement among her fanbase. The post featured minimal details but confirmed the May 21 release date, leaving fans eager for further updates about track listings, collaborators, or potential singles.
Building Anticipation
This album will follow her critically acclaimed Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, which debuted earlier this year. Known for her poetic lyrics and distinctive storytelling, Del Rey continues to captivate listeners by venturing into new musical landscapes.
As the release date approaches, fans can expect more teasers and potentially a lead single to drop in the coming months.
