Zach Bryan ‘s new EP Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs Tour is here, and that includes “Lies,” his highly-anticipated duet with Lana Del Rey .
The track opens with piano and a sparkling string arrangement while Bryan takes the first verse. After Del Rey’s laugh is heard faintly in the background, she takes a later verse, before they harmonize together. Like the rest of the EP, “Lies” was cut at Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound in Nashville, and produced by Bryan, Jamie McLaughlin, and Eddie Spear.
Del Rey posted about the collaboration on Instagram last month, paired with the caption “Whale, we finally got our song done. And that’s no lie,” hinting at the title. Bryan has a history of successful collaborations, from Bruce Springsteen to Kacey Musgraves. “ I Remember Everything ,” his 2023 duet with Musgraves, was nominated for two Grammys (Best Country Song and Best Country Duo/Group Performance) and landed at Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 (the first Number One hit for both parties).
