One of today’s most celebrated singer-songwriters, Lana Del Rey, is back at it with her new single “Bluebird” this Friday, April 18. This new track comes on the heels of her debut, “Henry, Come On,” which arrived only a week ago. “Bluebird” is a self-healing, hopeful, expressive, dreamy anthem that arrived just in time for spring’s arrival. With its lyrical nod to the Beatles’ classic “Blackbird,” the song showcases Del Rey’s unique blend of Americana and country influences.
Finally, Del Rey is the proud announced parent of “Bluebird.” She’s getting ready for that, too—she’s set to perform on Friday, April 25 at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California. This first concert is the beginning of a concert series. They’re all building to her first-ever sold-out European and UK summer tour.
Del Rey wrote the album’s other instant classic, “Bluebird,” with celebrated hitmaker Luke Laird. Laird has worked with some of country music’s biggest stars including Carrie Underwood and Kacey Musgraves.

The lyrics include the poignant line, “Your crash landing’s over, but the evening is hummin.’” This closing line captures the theme of hope and regrowth that is threaded throughout the song.
Del Rey’s long-teased country album, formerly titled “Lasso,” has a new title. Rather than “The Right Person Will Go,” it will be renamed to “The Right Person Will Stay.” In her Instagram announcement, Del Rey explained that she wants to make sure her music is completely realized before being distributed.
“I don’t want to turn it into something that’s half cooked, even if it’s super stripped back. I want it to be what it was supposed to be.” – Lana Del Rey
Del Rey, who is 39 years old, has made an artistic career out of disrupting the myths of Americana. In speaking about her creative process, she spoke about how crucial timing was in the artistry of producing music.
“I think all the songs have been Americana and I want to wait to see what the musical atmosphere feels like.” – Lana Del Rey
