Lana Del Rey has revealed she has two titles in mind for her upcoming album of country covers.
Last month the singer-songwriter, who recently released her seventh album ‘Chemtrails Over The Country Club’, announced that sheâs recorded a cover album full of country songs.
Insisting there’s always been a country tone running through her music, she said: “I went back and listened to âRideâ and âVideo Gamesâ and thought, you know theyâre kind of country. I mean, theyâre definitely not pop.”
She continued: âMaybe the way âVideo Gamesâ got remastered, theyâre pop â but thereâs something Americana about it for sure. So letâs see how these things come out â Iâm not going to have pedal steel guitar on every single thing, but it is easy for me to write.”
Del Rey has now revealed to Music Week that she already has two titles in mind for the country project.
“Spending so much time in a close circle of country music friends, I could see one option for a title coming from that,” she explained. “I also have a secondary title I like that summed up 18 months of my life.”
Not to be confused with another album she’s working on, Del Rey announced âRock Candy Sweetâ last week â an album she claims will challenge accusations of âcultural appropriation and glamorising domestic abuseâ.
She confirmed âRock Candy Sweetâ was a new album in a post to her Instagram Stories in which she responded to a Harperâs Bazaar article, published in January, titled âLana Del Rey canât qualify her way out of being held accountableâ.
Over a screenshot of the article, Del Rey wrote in red text: âJust want to thank you again for the kind articles like this one and for reminding me that my career was built on cultural appropriation and glamorizing domestic abuse. I will continue to challenge those thoughts on my next record on June 1 titled âRock Candy Sweetâ.â
The LA-based musician achieved the feat with new album âChemtrails Over The Country Clubâ, which was released on March 19.
