Lana Del Rey’s ‘Bluebird’ Voted This Week’s Favorite New Music


Lana Del Rey‘s “Bluebird” tops this week’s new music poll.

In a poll published Friday (April 18) on Billboard, music fans chose the alt-pop icon’s gorgeous new ballad as their favorite new release of the past week.

“Bluebird” captured 62% of the vote, beating out new releases from artists like Morgan Wallen and Post Malone (“I Ain’t Coming Back”), Addison Rae (“Headphones On”), Davido (5ive), Isabel Larosa (Raven), and others.

The lullaby-like “Bluebird” is the second offering from Del Rey’s forthcoming country-leaning studio album, which has yet to be titled or given a release date. Set over soft finger-picked guitar and piano, she gently croons about hope and heartbreak. “Little bird, bluebird/ Fly away for both of us/ For you have wings and I’ve no means to fly,” she sings.

Del Rey recently shared the song’s backstory in a candid video filmed on her way to rehearsal.

“I started humming this chorus to myself, with the words and the melody, a long time ago when I had been seeing someone for a very long time — and we hadn’t seen each other for a while, and he called,” she said in an Instagram clip. “And he asked me if I wanted to go for a walk. I was kind of excited, but I didn’t think it was a very good idea.”

She went on to describe the moment that inspired the track’s title. “All of a sudden a bird smacked in the double-pane window doors of my bedroom,” the singer recalled. “I was shocked, and I opened the little door and I saw this little, I think it was a little sparrow, little swallow, right there, and I just was so emotional — because you know when you just know that something is meant for you? Like sometimes I feel like nature has its own way of communicating with you, especially in extremely severe situations — not in a sacrificial way, just in a way just for you to know.”

“Bluebird” follows “Henry, Come On,” which placed second in last week’s fan-voted poll with 12%.

Del Rey is set to bring her country-inspired vision to the stage at this year’s Stagecoach in Indio, Calif., on April 25. The festival has teased her set as “a very special country set,” arriving the weekend after Coachella.

This week’s poll runner-up was Wallen and Malone’s collaboration “I Ain’t Coming Back,” which earned 12% of the vote. The Bible story track is one of 37 on Wallen’s upcoming album, I’m the Problem.
