Norman Fucking Rockwell, Lana Del Rey's presumably great upcoming album, has seemingly crossed the finish line.
Late Tuesday night, Lana gave fans an update on the Lust for Life follow-up via Instagram. She also announced completion of her poetry collection, tentatively titled Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass, and some impending show cancelations. "I wish I could fulfill those obligations but I won't be able to," she said.
New song "Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have—But I Have It" will be out Jan. 9. Catch a teaser of the new Norman Fucking Rockwell cut below.
Lana previously teased the song without a title when announcing recording sessions for the new album had wrapped.
In December, Lana joined "Venice Bitch" collaborator Jack Antonoff (Bleachers, Fun, Steel Train) for acoustic takes on the previously unreleased country-inspired tracks "Hey Blue Baby"and "I Must Be Stupid for Being So Happy." Though a final tracklist for Norman Fucking Rockwell hasn't been released, the general consensus on these two songs is that they will likely not make an appearance.
Back in October, Lana joined Cat Power for the lone feature on Wanderer. The track, "Woman," was both the song that kicked off the initial Wanderer sessions and the last one to be confirmed for the final tracklist.
