Lana Del Rey is pushing back the release date of her spoken word album after her family was robbed.
Last month, the singer revealed that she would be releasing a new spoken word album after her book of poetry, Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass, was “taking a lot longer to hand-bind than I thought.”
Though Del Rey didn’t specify the spoken word album’s title, she did say that she had for some time wanted the album to cost around a dollar, “because I just love the idea that thoughts are meant to be shared and you know, they were priceless in some way.” The project was slated for a January 4th release.
The album, referred to now as Violet, is now expected to be released next month due to the loss of “about nine days” as a result of the robbery.
Two days after Christmas, Del Rey posted a plea online for stolen possessions belonging to her sister to be returned.
The singer’s photographer sister, Chuck Grant, lost her “entire retrospective” in the robbery, and Del Rey offered a “no questions asked” reward for the safe return of the items.
