\n\tIn a lengthy Instagram post, Del Rey explained, \u201cSo much has happened over the last four years, so much time waiting for things to come together and so much time wondering if it was ok that things were falling apart. Patience was the key, and in between the songs came new thoughts about old friends and new dreams and from the doubt of whether the tree I had been planting would grow \u2014 came new sprouts and so grew a new rose bush underneath the willow.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tShe described the \u201clarge\u201d companion album, compiled by \u201cas many people as I could find to help me gather my thoughts about how much was changing,\u201d as the perfect cosmic twin to Stove<\/em>, calling the latter a \u201cclassic\u201d album that is \u201cso lovely and intact as it was intended to be.\u201d While LDR has still not revealed a release date for what has been tipped as her lean into country, she did drop the haunted, \u201cWhite Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter\u201d single \u2014\u00a0co-produced by Jack Antonoff and co-written with the singer\u2019s husband, Jeremy Dufrene \u2014\u00a0earlier this year, calling it her \u201cfavorite\u201d track on the album.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe described Spyda<\/em>, which also doesn\u2019t have a release date, as a \u201ccommentary of sorts on everything that has been going on, and the patience that was required \u2014\u00a0and the trust I had to have that not all the things that weren\u2019t working was just because of me.\u201d She said she was grateful for her large team of unnamed collaborators who worked on the collection, adding that she needs another month to finish pulling it together and then send both LPs to vinyl.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThank you for waiting. It certainly is two of my most beautiful pieces of work, rooted in what I thought would be made out of growth and joy but was peppered with a secondary compilation of songs that sprouted from doubt, hopefulness, and the understanding that new beginnings truly mean starting completely fresh and over,\u201d she added. \u201cWhen life decides to send you down another river, it\u2019s really not your choice and it\u2019s truly an adventure of its own.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLDR began touting the follow-up to her acclaimed 2023 album Did You Know That There\u2019s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd<\/em> in 2024, initially calling it Lasso<\/em>, then The Right Person Will Stay<\/em> and now seemingly settling on Stove<\/em>. Since then she\u2019s released the singles \u201cTough,\u201d \u201cHenry, Come On\u201d and \u201cBluebird,\u201d as well as writing the surprise title track for the James Bond universe video game First Light<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Instagram post announcing Spyda<\/em> including a clip of Del Rey cradling her cat, showing off a pair of painted leather boots and hanging with her husband on the Fourth of July, ending with what appear to be the similarly themed rustic covers for the two albums.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI wrote about it. Now it\u2019s time to trust the process and go downstream,\u201d Del Rey concluded in her post. \u201cI\u2019m so grateful to everyone who\u2019s still on board with me. And of course, I wish the best to everyone who stayed on land. Of course I understand. Just kidding. I thought we were in the boat together.\u201d<\/p>\n
