Alt-pop icon Lana Del Rey has left fans screaming “Yee Haw” after announcing her first ever country album, entitled Lasso.
Speaking at the Billboard’s pre-Grammy event in California last night (31 January), Lana Del Rey revealed that the new record, her tenth, will be coming out in September.
It will be her first venture into country music, though the 38-year-old singer confirmed that she would still be working with her regular collaborator Jack Antonoff, on creating the album.
Lana Del Rey will also work alongside country music producer Luke Laird on Lasso.
“If you can’t already tell by our award winners and our performers, the music business is going country,” she told the crowd at the event in Los Angeles, Rolling Stone reports.
“We’re going country. It’s happening. That’s why Jack has followed me to Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Mississippi, over the last four years.”
She lathered her collaborator Antonoff with praise, saying that he is “born under one of those talent, lucky musical stars” and “one in a million”.
Jack Antonoff also frequently works with fellow music star Taylor Swift.
