One of 2019's stand-out lyricists, Lana Del Rey has announced she's releasing a spoken word album on 4 January, 2020.

The singer shared the news in an Instagram video, describing it as a collection of "gritty... freestyle poetry." The album will cost "around a dollar," and half of those proceeds will go to Native American organisations.

"I just really wanted to sort of pay homage to this country that I love so much by doing my own reparation, I guess I would say, my own reparative act," she explained in the video. Watch below.

The upcoming spoken word record ties nicely with LDR's upcoming book of poetry, Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass, which she revealed back in March along with some excerpts. You can see those below along, along with Lana's full video quote.

She also makes reference to her next album. The proper follow-up to this year's Norman F**king Rockwell (which features some of her best work to date), is called White Hot Forever. “I’ve already written parts of it,” she told British publication The Times back in August. "I feel like it probably will be a surprise release sometime within the next 12 or 13 months.”
