Lana Del Rey’s Own Musical Journey Takes a Country Turn
While celebrating the success of “Ordinary,” Lana Del Rey also used Stagecoach to spotlight her evolving musical direction. On Friday night, April 25, she headlined the event and debuted a new track titled “57.5,” featuring a lyric about kissing country superstar Morgan Wallen. The song is part of her forthcoming album, which leans more into country influences—a noticeable shift for the alternative pop queen. So far, she has only released two songs from the upcoming project: “Bluebird” and “Henry, Come On.” In contrast to her earlier works, this album reflects her exploration of Americana and southern soundscapes. Nevertheless, her embrace of country themes has not dampened her signature poetic flair. Irrespective of genre, Lana Del Rey continues to draw attention for her storytelling and emotional depth, keeping fans eager for more.
