AceShowbiz - Lana Del Rey and Quavo have surprised fans with an upcoming collaboration titled "Tough". The pair teased the new track on Instagram on Wednesday night (June 19), sparking excitement among their combined fan bases.
Quavo unveiled a clip of "Tough" that features Del Rey's haunting vocals alongside Western guitar and trap beats. Together, they sing, "Tough like the scarf on a pair of old leather boots/ Like the blue-collar, red-dirt attitude/ Like a .38 made out of brass/ Tough like the stuff in my grandpa's glass/ Life's gonna do what it does/ Sure as the good lord's up above/ Cut like a diamond shining in the rough, tough."
While a release date for "Tough" has yet to be announced, it marks the first time the two artists have collaborated on a song. Quavo had previously shared a brief snippet of the track in May 2024, but Del Rey's involvement was unknown at the time.
The collaboration between Del Rey and Quavo is somewhat unexpected, given their distinct musical styles. However, fans have expressed their excitement for the pairing, comparing it to the unlikely collaborations that often yield memorable results.
Del Rey, who recently announced her upcoming country album "Lasso", is currently on the spring/summer festival circuit and will perform her first U.S. stadium headlining concert at Boston's Fenway Park on Thursday (June 20). Quavo, meanwhile, released his first solo offering of 2024, "Himothy", in February, following his 2023 sophomore album "Rocket Power".
The release of "Tough" is eagerly anticipated by both Del Rey and Quavo fans, who are eager to hear the unlikely duo's musical chemistry in full.
