Lana Del Rey has announced a new country album named Lasso, set to be released in September.
The Blue Jeans singer, 38, will work alongside regular collaborator Jack Antonoff and country music maker Luke Laird for her latest LP.
Lana revealed the new album to the audience at Billboard’s pre-Grammy event in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Lasso will be the hitmaker’s 10th studio LP, following her album Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd which was released in March 2023.
Lana said: ‘If you can’t already tell by our award winners and our performers, the music business is going country. We’re going country. It’s happening.

‘That’s why Jack has followed me to Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Mississippi, over the last four years.’
Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd was recently nominated for Album of the Year and Best Alternative Music Album for the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, due to take place on Sunday.
Her song A&W has been nominated for both Song of the Year and Best Alternative Music Performance and Candy Necklace, featuring Jon Batiste is up for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, leaving her with five nominations in total.
This comes after Lana opened up on her desire to become a mother after her ‘shocking’ split from Evan Winiker.
The singer said she has ‘more to explore’ in the world as she detailed her plans to have children.
Speaking in an interview with The Sunday Times’ Culture magazine, she said: ‘That’s why God didn’t give me children yet. Because there is more to explore.
‘I know people who’ve tested every water. It’s burnt them, like Icarus. But I’m willing to go there’.
The musician went on to confirm that she does see herself becoming a mother one day, adding: ‘I see it coming for me. We’ll see. We’ll see what melts the wings’.

The Born to Die hitmaker previously admitted she ‘had no other choice’ but to keep making music – even in moments of self-doubt.
She told the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column: ‘I never forget the abyss, those moments when nothing worked, where I was seriously considering quitting. There really was a feeling of failure.
‘I had no other choice than to continue, because I don’t know how to do anything else. Courage would have been to disappear.
‘But as I was already famous, I took the easy way out. I continued to make records. There was no plans B.’
