Holly Macve has teamed up with Lana Del Rey on her first collaborative single titled ‘Suburban House’. Check it out belowThe Irish-born & Yorkshire-raised songwriter was able to work with Del Rey after forming a close friendship via Instagram a few years ago. The track is part of Macve’s new project due in early 2024.Speaking of the song in a press release, Macve said: “I sometimes feel my intuition wrote this song for me.
I was temporarily living in a Suburban house from the 50’s, on the outskirts of West London. It was like a time capsule and hadn’t been changed since the 70’s. There was a beautiful old piano there and one day I sat down and the song came to me unexpectedly all at once.
The song made perfect sense to me only a week later… “She continued: “A few months later I visited Lana whilst in LA and we shared new songs with each other. I played this to her live and that was the start of it becoming a duet. When I first heard her sing the second verse it was like a dream, her voice was just so perfect for the song and heavenly sounding… It goes without saying that I am a huge fan of hers, she’s an inspiration to me in many different ways so when she DM’d me I was pretty shook (to say the least).”According to a screenshot shared by Macve on Instagram, in 2017, Del Rey followed Irish singer on the social media platform.
Macve then sent Del Rey a dm that read: “Hey thanks so much for the follow. Big fan of your music, hope we cross paths at some point,” to which Del Rey replied: “I am a huge huge fan and I just think you are so blessed with a gorgeous voice. I hope everything’s been going well for you..send your email if you want.
