Lana Del Rey seems to be quite taken with Camila Cabello’s latest musical offerings. On a bright Saturday, March 23, the voice behind the haunting “Summertime Sadness” took to Instagram, expressing her admiration for Cabello’s newly teased track.
Del Rey shared her enthusiasm with a simple “i luv it,” accompanying her words with two striking black-and-white images of the “Senorita” crooner. In one captivating photo, Cabello, now sporting blonde locks, poses with a lollipop, a “Parental Advisory” label conspicuously placed in the frame. The other snapshot captures her in a relaxed, off-the-shoulder white top, her expression a mix of defiance and playfulness as she makes a bold gesture towards the camera.
Reacting to Del Rey’s shout-out, the former Fifth Harmony standout responded in the comments with a string of crown emojis, a nod to mutual respect and admiration. She also took the moment to share Del Rey’s post on her Instagram Story that same day.
Earlier in March, Cabello teased fans with a 30-second preview of an eagerly awaited new single. The clip, which hints at a lively, summery pop tune, shows her joyfully singing along to the rhythm of the wind in a car, her blonde hair dancing freely. “I’m seeing stars/ Oh my God/ I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it,” she sings, her voice filled with genuine excitement. The song intriguingly features a sample from Gucci Mane’s 2009 hit “Lemonade.”
Cabello’s musical journey continued after her 2022 album “Familia,” which spawned the Billboard Hot 100 charting hit “Bam Bam.” Speaking on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in early March, she shared insights into her creative process for her upcoming album, emphasizing a return to her songwriting roots and the pure passion that ignited her career.
Meanwhile, Lana Del Rey has been making waves of her own, announcing her next album, “Lasso,” set for a September release. This revelation came during her tribute to Jack Antonoff at the Billboard and NMPA Songwriter Awards in Los Angeles. Del Rey hinted at a country music influence in the industry, sharing her and Antonoff’s musical explorations in iconic American music cities. “Lasso” follows her 2023 album, “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd,” which achieved a No. 3 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.
Del Rey’s Instagram post celebrating Cabello’s new music underscores a mutual admiration between two influential artists, hinting at exciting musical landscapes yet to be explored.
