Lana Del Rey talks new album 'Lasso', the world going country, and her plans for Reading & Leeds

After winning the Special International Awards at the 2024 Ivor Novellos, Lana Del Rey caught up with NME to tell us about feeling more chill rather than vindicated, her love of London and past life frequenting Kingsland Road, what's in store for new album 'Lasso' and her upcoming headline show at Reading & Leeds 2024

Give this reporter a raise bc he asked all the right questions.

[@oxiary]

agreed !! should be the bare minimum but asking the right questions not just for clickbait is so underrated

[@btrixlestrange6432]

I totally thought this was an old interview from 2012 too!

[@ivancervera3360]

THANK YOU. For asking ACTUAL questions about her career and music! Seeing all these journalists ask stupid empty questions has been so frustrating so it’s nice to see a journalist actually being informed enough about her career to ask about it

[@jamesstevens2145]

100% - she def seemed to respond to that too - great seeing her looking so happy & relaxed

[@JeiElRai]

I think for a lotta folks it's just a job. It's pretty clear who actually cares about what they're doing, the people they're talking to and the conversation unfolding.

[@marykcitrus]

the story about the contact lenses had me dying 😭😭

[@JakeDavis-yp1pd]

She seems like a very genuine spirit

[@jamesstevens2145]

I think she always has been, but the music industry never seemed to respond well to it, now she seems to just not care too much what they think & be happy doing her own thing

[@AnnaF33]

@@jamesstevens2145coz they are affraid she will take spot of taylor swift😂 taylor copied a lot from lana

[@remiinisc3]

@@AnnaF33 What did Taylor copy from Lana? They even worked together. It's more a competition for you than for them I guess :D

🕯 prayer circle for Lasso’s release 🕯

[@ariadneee_]

oh god if we don't get this album I'm not responsible for what happens next. Please Lana listen to our prayers🙏🥺🥺

[@usamakhan3553]

Lana don't let anything stop you from releasing Lasso. Your fans are here to buy and stream it!!!

Probably taylor Swift doesn’t let her😂 coz she is affraid

[@siddharthnaagar8431]

The greatest artist of our time is starting to get the recognition she has always deserved

[@remiinisc3]

Many still make an underdog out of her. We have to remember that she has delivered consistently. She's a multi-millionaire and definitely not an underdog in the music business. She's one of the most streamed female artists, over 55 million listeners on spotfiy alone.

[@vm4473]

Can we all agree that she's one of the coolest and most authentic artists out there!?

[@TaeJo0n]

Literally

[@klu5301]

Thank you for asking her about her work, especially ‘Lasso’ because we’ve been waiting on pins and needles to hear any news at all! I really hope the album comes out this year! I was lucky enough to get tickets to the stadium show at Fenway in June, I can’t wait to see her again! She’s glowing and it makes me so happy to see her happy!!

[@ryan-kane]

I’m fairly certain she announced a release in September?

[@kristindiamandis4297]

I love how the Lana lore never ends now I need to look back at interviews to see if I notice the contacts she’s talking about

[@palemoonlight96]

Musical legend and most importantly generous, kind and humble person, she said fuck the haters and kept winning and staying iconic with her incredible art

[@saatmohd9482]

angel

[@EmMy-cp8bi]

I'm so happy she won this award. From what I've read it's a well respected award within the music industry. It's not influenced by anyone and it relies on the song writing community. So basically, her peers gave her this award. And I think it's a bigger achievement than a Grammy. She's here to stay. ❤

[@patrickhainault5966]

Love how the lady is at a point in her life and career where the idea of vindication doesn't hold any weight or relevance

[@scorpionic-night]

lol the grammys doesnt measure talent so..

[@fetcat5332]

Lana del Rey the best ever ❤❤❤❤

[@kaylak7666]

I’m not sure how I feel about a country album, but everything she touches turns to gold. So I’m hopeful!

[@PrincessWhatsername]

I feel like with her signature vocalizations and some of her previous work that is country-ish, I can see her doing really well by the genre (would probably lean more bluegrass/folk/blues and less of a pop country direction). I would eat up a country Lana album.

[@staratlas7778]

Lana looks so good! It makes my heart So Happy to see her Happy and in a Good Place! 😭. She deserves all of the accolades, this woman saved my life with her music, and i feel like she released so much on Ocean Blvd, you can see it in her face and smile 😊 Can’t wait for her next Journey! ❤️

[@fetcat5332]

Lana, you are the best, you are the creator, you are the inspiration, you are the perfect and truly talented artist, you are truly a legend, Lizzy Lana, you are an icon, your albums exceeded creativity, your songs are wonderful, wonderful, you are the best, I am sad because they took away the Grammy from you. What you deserve, but you are bigger than awards. You do not deserve an award to evaluate you. You are the biggest and most wonderful ✨👑✌️💎😎

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

[@AGDelRey]

I didn’t know she has green eyes ❤

[@TomUniverse]

I cannot wait for your stadium show, Miss Lana!

[@chockfullofmoxie]

Me too! I'm so nervous, I hate crowded places!

[@kiara4857]

She said Lasso is less self revealing and it focuses more on the melodic side but her songs/albums has always been pretty melodic and her story telling added more charm

[@hilmir]

it was beautiful also because a lot of it was true. to just an album of pretty songs sounds hollow to me 😢

[@PrincessWhatsername]

​@@hilmirconsidering storytelling is a key part of a lot of country as a genre, I'm willing to bet she will sonically and lyrically paint some beautiful vignettes for the listeners' imagination to chew on. I wouldn't call that hollow. There's part of an author's truth in every story written/told 💜

[@zachcerfontyne5103]

omg i hope Lana does not have second thoughts on lasso Couse im really exited for a country album

[@archangeldimitri]

She does

[@ratiod2289]

She should scrap the country tbh, beyonce already played the trend out w her flop album.

[@Ichijou_Matsomoku308]

It better sound like real country music not this modern bullshit

[@Eva_noir.]

I hope she scrap country...I just can't 😩

[@j.c7719]

The country concept sounds boring as hell tbh

[@Honeymoonwhispers]

2:44 - her mood completely changes when she thinks of the other artists jumping on her country music bandwagon. She jumps back into her bubbly self but it’s interesting to see how quickly her mood darkens and then flips back.

[@hilmir]

and at 0:51 - she felt it when he mocked her about having just the one stadium tour, and it showed. but she flips back.

[@fetcat5332]

Queen of Queens ❤❤❤❤

[@Swbcook]

I just... I will always love her so much!

[@fetcat5332]

The top ❤

[@bermewduh]

i could cry she seems so happy :)

[@shawn1428]

You can see it in her she finally believes in herself! So much confidence! Her fanbase knew since 2012 she doubted it because of the haters and the Scammy's boycotting her over her first live performance in 2012 she was a nervous wreck, but she finally knows her cultural impact and how influential she is! 🤍🤍🤍🤍 God she's never looked so amazing! I can't wait to see her at Fenway Park! Driving 6.5 hours to see her.
