Lana Del Rey Announces Release of Her 10th Album
Earlier this year, Lana Del Rey surprised fans by announcing her 10th studio album, titled “Lasso”, which was initially set for release in September. The album promised to be a significant turning point in her music career, as Lasso was produced in the country music genre. Collaborating with longtime producer Jack Antonoff, leader of the band Bleachers, and renowned country music producer Luke Laird, fans were eagerly anticipating a fresh, exciting musical project.
Why Did Lana Del Rey Delay the Release of “Lasso”?
However, despite September passing, the album “Lasso” has not yet been released, leaving fans puzzled about the reason for the delay. Recently, a post on Instagram accused Taylor Swift of being the reason behind Lana Del Rey‘s decision to postpone her album release. The post criticized Taylor Swift for allegedly imitating Lana Del Rey‘s musical style and even claimed that Swift “stole” stories from Del Rey’s life and emotional struggles to create her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.
The author of the post suggested that this was the reason for the delay of Lasso. However, Lana Del Rey quickly denied the accusation. She explained that the real reason for the delay was due to the oversaturation of country music in the industry at the moment. She felt that if she released the album now, it would be seen as following a trend, making her work less unique. Del Rey also clarified that she was not influenced by Taylor Swift, nor vice versa.
Lana Del Rey’s Thoughts on “Lasso”
Earlier, in an interview, Lana Del Rey shared insights into the making and concept behind Lasso. She explained: “This album is very American, but it’s almost too American. I had to pause because I couldn’t recognize myself in the music anymore.”
Anticipating the Upcoming “Lasso” Album
Although Lasso has been delayed due to concerns that it didn’t represent the “true” Lana Del Rey, her heartfelt and honest reflections give fans hope that the album will still reflect her personal artistic journey. With a mix of country music and gothic elements, Lasso is sure to be a noteworthy release this year.
Lana Del Rey is known for her unique musical style, blending pop music with melancholic emotions, so Lasso promises to be an exciting new chapter, offering fresh and distinct emotions to listeners.
