Lana Del Rey has officially announced the release date of her much-anticipated new single, igniting excitement among fans worldwide. Bringing forward her eclectic style with a fresh touch, the singer is set to drop “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter,” a track from her forthcoming album, Stove. This news comes as part of her efforts to reinvent her sound with a country-inspired twist, promising a novel experience for listeners.
New Single Announcement
In a recent Instagram Story, Lana Del Rey shared her excitement about her upcoming single, stating, “I just wanted to make a little message and let you know that my new single and my favorite song [on the new album] — this is the one I’ve been waiting for — ‘White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter’ is coming out on the 17th.” While she did not specify the month, it is assumed to be February.
Collaborating with veteran producers Drew Erickson and Jack Antonoff, Del Rey revealed that they “finally found that magical chord that was missing.” The single also includes contributions from her husband Jeremy Dufrene, her brother-in-law, and sister Caroline “Chuck” Grant, indicating a deeply personal project filled with collaborative efforts.
Behind the Scenes
Del Rey shared insights into the creative process behind the single, emphasizing the personal investment and involvement in every detail. “We made the video like just ourselves, but still, still, it takes hours and hours of editing and downloading and uploading and all that,” she explained, highlighting the dedication that has gone into the visual aspect of the release.
The announcement of “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” aligns with her ambitious plans for her upcoming album, Stove. Fans have long awaited new music, and this announcement marks a significant step towards its fruition.
The Journey to Stove
Lana Del Rey’s upcoming album Stove has undergone multiple changes and delays, including a rebranding from its original title The Right Person Will Stay, and before that, Lasso. Describing the album as having a “country flair,” Del Rey humorously commented on the genre’s rising popularity, “Eight years ago, when I was looking to make a country record, no one else was thinking about country. Now everyone is going country!”
“White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” will follow the lead single “Henry, Come On,” released back in April 2025. The album itself was initially scheduled for a May 2025 release but was postponed to 2026. These changes reflect Del Rey’s commitment to refining her vision before sharing it with the world.
Her deep connection to the project is evident. In an earlier interview, she mentioned, “[The songs] were more autobiographical than I thought, and that took more time,” sharing her personal journey and introspection during the album’s creation.
Lana Del Rey’s evolution into country influences marks a new chapter in her artistic journey, and fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” and the subsequent release of Stove.
