Lana Del Rey: “The Right Person Will Stay”, the album that marks a turning point in her career
On November 24, 2024, Lana Del Rey officially announced her next album, entitled “The Right Person Will Stay”. Comprising thirteen country-flavored tracks, this opus promises to usher in a new musical era for the artist, while exploring introspective and universal themes.
“The Right Person Will Stay”, a breath of fresh air for the queen of pop noir
Three years after her last album “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd”, Lana Del Rey returns with a bold new project. Already known for her melancholy ballads and poetic narratives imbued with dark romanticism, this album takes a notable turn. The artist plunges into the world of country, while retaining the narrative and emotional essence that is her strength.
The album cover, unveiled on her Instagram account, offers a glimpse of a visual universe imbued with softness and nostalgia. It shows Lana, contemplative, bathed in a golden light reminiscent of her beloved Californian landscapes. This album seems to promise an immersion in the dusty roads of Mississippi, through songs that marry spirituality, the quest for self and the exploration of love.
A new musical direction
Since her debut “Born to Die” in 2012, Lana Del Rey has redefined the pop landscape by combining poetic lyrics, cinematic visuals and a haunting voice. With this new album, she ventures into new horizons. In a recent interview, she confided: “The music world is turning to country. It’s happening.”
For this project, she was surrounded by her faithful collaborator Jack Antonoff, who infused the album with the authenticity and warmth of the country genre. The title track “Stand By Your Man”, already performed at private concerts earlier this year, sets the tone: music that combines modernity and tradition, exploring American musical roots.
Lana Del Rey and her constant evolution
For over a decade, Lana Del Rey has continued to surprise with her artistic evolution. From her early successes, imbued with a vintage Hollywood aesthetic, to her more introspective projects such as “Norman Fucking Rockwell!”, she has demonstrated an ability to reinvent herself while remaining true to her universe.
With “The Right Person Will Stay”, she seems ready to broaden her audience and win over new fans, while satisfying her long-time loyalists. This album is part of a current trend where country music, often associated with personal stories and authenticity, is gaining in popularity.
“The Right Person Will Stay”, an eagerly awaited album
While the exact release date has yet to be confirmed, Lana Del Rey’s fans can’t wait. This project could well mark a turning point in the artist’s career, consolidating her status as a musical visionary.
In the meantime, Paris could well be among the first dates of her tour, offering French fans the chance to discover this new facet of Lana Del Rey live. One thing is certain: this new album promises to captivate, surprise and move, as Lana knows so well how to do.
