Lana Del Rey: Last News

Taylor Swift said meet you at midnight...and she means it.

Taylor Swift is releasing another new edition of her album Midnights, and it features two updated tracks and another from The Vault.

Lana Del Rey’s father Rob Grant has said that he is “happy to be the first nepo daddy” as he prepares to release his debut album.As announced in February, Grant, 69, is due to drop the 14-track ‘Lost At Sea’ on June 9 via Decca Records. You can pre-order/pre-save it here.He’s already previewed the project with the singles ‘Setting Sail On A Distant Horizon’, ‘Poetry Of Wind And Waves’, ‘The Mermaids Lullaby’ and ‘Deep Ocean Swells’.Del Rey – real name Lizzie Grant – will feature on the record’s title track and another song called ‘Hollywood Bowl’.

Lana Del Rey has always been singular among her own musical peer group, but fans have known for years now that Lana has one defining factor that makes her catalogue far more unique. One thing that her brand new single, Say Yes To Heaven, has made abundantly clear.

The Foo Fighters have revealed that they have a new drummer joining the band, a year after Taylor Hawkins’ death. Josh Freese, who has been performing with the band at tribute concerts in memory of Taylor, has previously played drums for The Offspring, Sting, Paramore, Lana Del Rey, Rob Zombie, Bruce Springsteen, A Perfect Circle, Guns N’ Roses, Nine Inch Nails, the Vandals and Weezer, among others. In recent months, speculation regarding who the Foo Fighters’ new drummer would be has been rife, with Josh and Rufus Taylor of The Darkness both rumoured to be taking on the role.

Thania Garcia Interscope Geffen A&M’s Annie Lee and Michelle An share a unique 17-year-long friendship and business partnership as first-generation Asian-Americans. They came up through the ranks together while the company underwent several transitions in leadership, expanded into global markets and most recently, made a successful move into film. In 2019, Lee — who is of Taiwanese descent — was named chief financial officer of the label after starting her journey at UMG as a senior financial analyst in 2005. She now oversees all of the company’s finance functions, as well as other key operational teams, and reports to chairman-CEO John Janick and Steve Berman, the label’s vice chairman.

Foo Fighters have officially revealed their new drummer, who will take over from the late Taylor Hawkins. Josh Freese has joined Dave Grohl and the rest of the band ahead of the release of new album But Here We Are and an upcoming summer of live shows and festival appearances.

Josh Freese is taking over as the permanent replacement for Taylor Hawkins in Foo Fighters, the group has announced.

Lana Del Rey looks to have struck gold by opening the vaults of her unreleased music – with Say Yes To Heaven on track for this week’s highest new entry (6). If it maintains momentum it would be Lana’s first solo Top 10 single in the UK since Born To Die in 2012.

New Music Friday! The weekend is here, which means more streaming, new playlists and the best that music has to offer.

Lana Del Rey has shared the previously unreleased track "Say Yes To Heaven." Press materials note that the song was written by Del Rey in 2012 alongside Rick Nowels. A version of the song, written prior to the release of 2014 album Ultraviolence, leaked online a few years ago and became something of a grail for Del Rey's fans.

Lana Del Rey has shared a previously-unreleased song called ‘Say Yes To Heaven’ – listen to it below.Recorded back in 2013, the standalone track was originally intended to feature on the singer-songwriter’s third studio album ‘Ultraviolence’ (2014).As Stereogum notes, numerous iterations of the cut have since appeared online. Last year saw a sped-up snippet from ‘Say Yes To Heaven’ go viral on TikTok.Fans then noticed this March that the song had been copyrighted by UMG/Polydor, ahead of its official release today (May 19).

Thania Garcia Another week, another win for Morgan Wallen, who adds a definitive tenth consecutive week at No. 1 on the albums chart with “One Thing at a Time.” The set debuted earlier this March and has not left the coveted slot since, matching the record set with his previous “Dangerous: The Double Album” and making him the first solo male artist to have consecutive projects spend their first 10 weeks at No. 1. In the latest tracking week, “One Thing at a Time” earned the equivalent of 141,000 units in the United States, including 179 million streams, according to data from Luminate. Simultaneously, two years after its official release, Wallen’s “Dangerous” album remains a chart favorite at No. 5 on the chart.

Jack Antonoff‘s fiancée has confirmed that Lana Del Rey did not leak the couple’s wedding date on the track ‘Margaret’.Del Rey previously said that her ‘Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd‘ collaboration with the Bleachers frontman was about the actor Margaret Qualley.The lyrics in the song see Del Rey suggest that Antonoff and Qualley’s wedding date will be later this year as she sings: “I mean, join the party / By the way the party is December 18.”But when asked by the Los Angeles Times whether she will be getting married on December 18, Qualley said: “I am not. [Lana] was kind enough to not put my real wedding date in the song.
