Lana Del Rey continues to reshape her sound with the upcoming country?inspired album Stove. According to a cover story in W Magazine reported by outlets like People, the record is now slated for release around January 2026 after several date and title changes.
How Stove has evolved toward a 2026 release
The project that will become Stove has already gone through at least two announced titles and multiple release windows. Early on, Lana Del Rey referred to the album as Lasso, aiming for a 2024 release, before shifting to the title The Right Person Will Stay with a planned date of May 21, 2025 according to coverage of her W interview.
In that interview, she finally confirmed the name Stove and indicated that the album would "likely" arrive at the end of January 2026, a timeline echoed by reports summarizing the W Magazine story and subsequent updates from Del Rey herself. People’s summary of the W Magazine cover underlines how the schedule moved from spring 2025 into early 2026.
Singles already outlining Lana Del Rey’s new sound
Even though the full album is still pending, three singles tied to Stove have already been released and are available on major streaming services. Apple Music lists Henry, Come On and Bluebird as 2025 singles and White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter as a 2026 release, while a further standalone track First Light arrived on April 16, 2026 as a non?album single.
The single White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter was announced in early February 2026, with Del Rey confirming its February 17 release in a video message. That date is reflected in the track’s listing on Apple Music, which shows a February 17, 2026 release on Polydor and Interscope. Apple’s single page confirms the timing and credits.
