AceShowbiz - Lana Del Rey bids her farewell to social media again. Annoucing that she quits social media, the "Summertime Sadness" hitmaker shares on her Instagram Story that she will no longer provide updates to fans on social media.
Writing to her fans, the 37-year-old singer said, "Thank you so much for everything." She added, "Now that Rob's record is out and now you know where I'm touring this account is closing. Good luck and love u."
The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter was referring to her father Rob Grant, who just released his album "Lost at Sea". It featured two collaborations with his daughter which were the title track and a song titled "Hollywood Bowl".
In other related news, Rob recently talked about being called "Nepo Daddy" by fans. "I thought, 'Oh, s**t, that's fabulous. I've got to go get that domain.' I want to do merch. I want to create a brand around this thing," he told PEOPLE.
He continued, "I leaned right into it, embraced it and really loved it. Then, of course, it blew up. Now, I'm the Nepo Daddy, and that's fine. They call me a lot of things - Robster, Daddy Del Rey, Papa Del Rey, Robster Lobster and now, Nepo Daddy."
While "Lost at Sea" is his first album, it wasn't the first time for Lana and Rob to work together. Over the past couple years, the father and daughter duo have written a total of "four or five beautiful songs" together, one of which was meant to be on her latest album "Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd".
While the song didn't make either project, it helped develop their collaborative relationship. "Gorgeous song, by the way. It was called 'Sunshine'," Rob explained. "I think that song is going to reappear on the next project. It's so beautiful."
After "Sunshine" was shelved, Rob was determined to make a song of the same quality with his daughter. He then came across a "beautiful chord progression" that he knew she would like. Lana wrote the lyrics for the song and that was how they birthed "Hollywood Bowl".
"Now, mind you, she doesn't necessarily think that I play as good as Billy Joel, but it rhymes with 'Hollywood Bowl'. We wanted to get that straight because poor Billy Joel, right? He's gonna read this and go, 'What the f**k?' " he said. "He's an extraordinary musician. I would like to feel that I could aspire to play as well as Billy Joel. I think my style is very different."
