Lana Del Rey has stepped back into the spotlight with “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter,” a haunting new single that signals the next chapter of her evolving artistry. The track serves as the latest preview of her forthcoming album Stove, and it finds the singer leaning into the stripped-down, cinematic style that has long defined her sound.
Built around sparse instrumentation and accented by delicate string flourishes, the song feels intimate and atmospheric. It is a reminder that Del Rey’s power often lies not in bombast but in restraint, letting mood and melody carry the emotional weight.
The singer first teased the track on social media, sharing a snippet alongside a playful caption that quickly stirred fan excitement. Days earlier, she had revealed the title through her Instagram story, calling it her favorite song on the album and hinting that it had been worth the wait.
“White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” was co-produced by Drew Erickson and Jack Antonoff, two collaborators who have helped shape some of her most textured recent work. The writing process was also a family affair, with contributions from her husband Jeremy Dufrene, her brother-in-law, and her sister Caroline Grant, known professionally as Chuck Grant.
As anticipation builds, Del Rey has offered insight into the album’s release timeline. While no firm date has been confirmed, she suggested that vinyl production schedules are influencing the rollout, estimating that fans could expect Stove in roughly three and a half months. For an audience that has been eagerly awaiting her tenth studio album, that timeline feels both close and tantalizingly distant.
Stove follows her 2023 release Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd and has already undergone multiple transformations. The project was previously titled The Right Person Will Stay and, before that, carried the working title Lasso. Originally scheduled for May 2025, the album was postponed as Del Rey returned to the studio to continue refining the material.
In the months leading up to this latest single, she released “Henry, Come On” and “Bluebird,” offering glimpses into the sonic direction of the project. With “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter,” the picture becomes clearer: introspective, poetic, and unmistakably Lana.
Whenever Stove finally arrives, it will mark not just another album release, but a milestone moment in a career that continues to evolve on its own terms.
