“Whoopsie daisy! Yoo-hoo!” Lana Del Rey is back, all right. The singer-songwriter has officially returned with “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter,” off her upcoming album, Stove.
“White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” features sparse instrumentation, save for a few flourishes of magical string arrangements. On Monday, Del Rey posted a snippet of “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” with the caption, “I imagine yoo hoo know how absolutely bad I’m with an Oven………………………..”
Del Rey revealed the song title on Feb. 10 via her Instagram story, declaring it her “favorite song” off Stove. “This is the one I’ve been waiting for,” she said, adding that it was co-produced by Drew Erickson and Jack Antonoff, and co-written with her husband, Jeremy Dufrene, her brother-in-law, and her sister, Caroline “Chuck” Grant.
She also raised the topic of the Stove release date, stating, “Honestly, soon. ‘Cause vinyl takes three months, so three months plus two weeks. It could be, give or take, a bit less than that.” Whenever it arrives, it will be a celebratory day for Del Rey fans, who have been feverishly waiting for her 10th studio album since her last one, 2023’s Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.
“White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” arrives 10 months after the singles “Henry, Come On” and “Bluebird,” (and six months after Del Rey dropped a song snippet with pointed lyrics about Ethel Cain). When Del Rey released “Henry” in April 2025, Stove was then titled The Right Person Will Stay (prior to that, the working title was Lasso). The album was initially scheduled for May 2025, before she formally postponed it and went back into the studio to keep working.
