Lana Del Rey releases a new track co-written with her husband, Jeremy Dufrene, exploring the “voodoo” magic within their marriage — and fans are already calling it one of her most intimate songs yet.
On Tuesday (Feb. 17), Lana Del Rey surprised listeners with “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter,” a lush and slightly haunting preview of her forthcoming album, Stove. While the full project is still simmering, this new single offers a deeply personal glimpse into the emotional world shaping her next era.
A Love Song With a Mystical Edge
Co-written with her husband, Jeremy Dufrene — whom she married in September 2024 — the track blends romance with Del Rey’s signature cinematic eeriness. The lyrics feel tender yet enchanted, as she sings about devotion in imagery that’s equal parts poetic and spellbinding.
Over trembling strings, she paints her partner as something almost mythic — a love so powerful it feels fated. Comparing their connection to an arrow striking the heart and describing him as being “in my bone marrow,” Del Rey leans fully into the intensity of soulmate-level attachment.
But it’s the chorus that truly casts the spell.
She croons about wanting to use her lover’s “stove” to cook something up for him before declaring him “positively voodoo.” The line suggests not just admiration, but awe — as if the magic within their relationship defies logic. The question she poses — whether he realizes how magical he truly is — adds a layer of vulnerability beneath the mysticism.
A Family Collaboration
“White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” wasn’t just a romantic partnership — it was a family affair. Del Rey’s sister, Chuck Grant, and her brother-in-law, Jason Pickens, also contributed to the songwriting process, making the track feel even more personal.
Longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff handled production and composition duties, bringing his signature alt-pop polish while allowing Del Rey’s haunting lyricism to remain front and center. His touch ensures the track feels both intimate and expansive — delicate strings balancing against emotional weight.
Why This Song Means So Much to Her
When Del Rey first revealed she’d be releasing the song earlier this month, she didn’t hide her excitement. She called it her “favorite” from Stove, adding that it was the one she had been most eager for fans to hear.
She also hinted that the album may arrive in roughly three months, suggesting the long-anticipated project is finally nearing completion.
For devoted listeners, this marks a significant moment. The Stove era has been quietly building since January 2024, when Del Rey first mentioned at the Billboard x National Music Publishers’ Association Songwriter Awards that she was crafting a country-inspired record.
Its initial lead single, “Henry, Come On,” arrived in April 2025 under the working title The Right Person Will Stay. Since then, the project has evolved — renamed Stove and pushed back to allow further refinement.
Following ‘Ocean Blvd’
Del Rey’s last studio album, Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, dropped in 2023 and climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard 200, reaffirming her enduring cultural impact.
With “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter,” she appears ready to open a new chapter — one rooted in marriage, mysticism, and emotional transparency.
If this first taste is any indication, Stove won’t just be another Lana Del Rey album. It may be her most enchanted one yet.
