Lana Del Rey announces new companion album Spyda

Lana Del Rey has surprised fans by announcing a new companion album titled Spyda, which will be released alongside her long-awaited studio album Stove. The singer shared the unexpected update through social media, revealing that she has been working on two separate records during her extended break from releasing albums.
Del Rey explained that while Stove represents the album she originally intended to make, Spyda evolved naturally over time as she reflected on the personal and creative changes she experienced in recent years. She described the companion project as a collection of songs inspired by patience, hope, self-discovery and new beginnings.
According to the singer, Stove is largely complete, but she still needs about a month to finish Spyda before sending both albums for vinyl production. She thanked fans for their patience throughout the lengthy wait and called the two records some of the most meaningful work of her career.
The announcement comes after several delays surrounding Stove, which was previously announced under different titles before settling on its current name. Over the past few years, Del Rey has continued to release standalone songs, including Henry, Come On, Bluebird and White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter, keeping fans engaged while working on the full project.
In her heartfelt message, Del Rey reflected on the challenges she has faced over the past four years, saying the difficult moments ultimately inspired new music. She explained that Spyda became a companion album because it allowed her to express emotions and experiences that did not fit within the original vision for Stove.
Fans quickly reacted with excitement across social media, celebrating the news that they will receive two albums instead of one. Many praised Del Rey’s honesty and emotional storytelling, while others said the announcement made the long wait worthwhile.
Known for her cinematic songwriting and melancholic style, Del Rey has built a loyal global fanbase through critically acclaimed albums such as Born to Die, Norman F*ing Rockwell! and Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd. Expectations are now high for both Stove and its companion album.
Although no official release date has been announced, Del Rey indicated that both albums are nearing completion. As anticipation continues to grow, fans eagerly await what the singer describes as two of the most personal and beautiful projects she has ever created.
