“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.

McCartney, like Stevie Nicks, was among the A-list performers at the couple’s wedding, and People reports that McCartney used the special occasion to play a song he hadn’t performed live since the Beatles’ early days, and a hit he never touched live as a solo artist.

How to Attend a Concert and Not Ruin It for Others

Back in 2013, we took it upon ourselves to remind music fans that it’s our duty to remain at least somewhat civilized when we attend concerts. We weren’t asking people to stop drinking, dancing, and having fun. We just wanted them to stop acting in super obnoxious ways that annoyed everyone around them.

Sadly, the world didn’t listen. In fact, 2013 seems like a quaint and respectable age now that we’re all living in the twisted dystopian hellscape of 2025. Cellphones were hardly a novelty back then, but most people could at least remember a time back then when they weren’t surgically attached to our hands 24/7. Instagram was fairly new, TikTok was barely a glimmer of an idea in the collective mind of the Chinese Communist Party, and the pandemic hadn’t robbed us of basic social norms that we used to obey when we left our homes.

Madonna Finds a Nonstop Groove on Her Best Album in 20 Years

“People think dance music is just superficial,” Madonna announces early on her excellent new album, Confessions II. “But they’re all wrong. The dance floor is not just a place. It’s a threshold, a ritualistic space where movement replaces language.” That’s the threshold where Madonna has spent her whole life. Ever since she blew up in the Eighties, pop’s queen of queens has devoted her career to proving how complex, how dramatic, how ecstatic a dance floor can be.

On Confessions II, Madonna returns to the floor, the place where she always goes to rediscover herself. It’s a sequel to one of her most beloved albums, Confessions on a Dance Floor, her 2005 collaboration with the London disco master Stuart Price. But it’s also her best album since the original Confessions 21 years ago. It’s a 64-minute nonstop groove that flows like a club-DJ set, each song fading into the next, drawing from all over the history of dance music. You might hear a flicker of “I Feel Love” here, or “Apache” there, but it’s a history lesson that she turns into her musical autobiography.
