Lana Del Rey opens up about exploring the silver screen

In an interview with W Magazine, Lana Del Rey revealed her openness to stepping into acting, saying, “Yes, I’d love to be in a film,” and explaining how her approach to performing varies between music and visuals. While she prefers capturing songs in a single take, her videos allow her the freedom of countless attempts, reflecting her love for detail and perfection. She cited legendary directors like Quentin Tarantino and David Lynch as major influences, yet admitted her downtime often involves simple pleasures like Hallmark Channel shows, which provided comfort during difficult periods in 2018 and 2019.

The conversation then shifted to Lana Del Rey’s early experiences in Lake Placid and how they shaped her love for performance. As a child, she sang in local productions, taking on roles in Annie and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, experiences she found surprisingly daunting. Before moving to Los Angeles, she toured in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, honing her stage presence, as she revealed in the interview. One of her first Los Angeles performances at the Troubadour felt intimate and nerve-wracking, with the audience scrutinizing every detail, even her unpainted toes. Turning from her early performances, Del Rey revealed insights into her upcoming album.

Lana Del Rey spilled details on her upcoming album and also announced its estimated release date, giving fans their first glimpse of what to expect from her next project.

In the same interview with W Magazine, Lana Del Rey revealed details about her upcoming album ‘Stove’, now expected to release at the end of January. Initially scheduled for last spring, she added six deeply autobiographical songs, which required extra time. The majority of the album will carry a country flair, a style she explored eight years ago when few were embracing it. Del Rey even joked about whether she should retire her snakeskin boots or store her cowboy hats.

Building on the country flair of ‘Stove’, Lana Del Rey has cultivated a signature country–meets–high-fashion style that captivates audiences. At Stagecoach and sold-out Wembley shows, fitted bodices and flowing skirts, from a recreated 1940s picnic dress to a sparkling champagne Valentino, embody elevated yet understated elegance. With 2025 shaping up to be a year of several upcoming albums, fans eagerly anticipate ‘Stove’, a project that continues to showcase the artistry and cinematic sensibility that now seamlessly extends toward acting.
