New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Lady Gaga has given fans the first taste of her highly anticipated upcoming album. Following the recent release of the jazzy Joker-themed Harlequin album, the superstar is returning to her pop roots with Disease, the lead single from her seventh studio album. Her last studio album, Chromatica, was released in 2020.
Gaga wrote the new song with Andrew Watt, Cirkut, and fiance Michael Polansky. The untitled album (currently being referred to simply as "LG7") will debut in Feburary 2025. Listen to the new song below!
Earlier this year, Gaga offered an update on the album, saying "I'm working as fast as I can. I will say that I'm feeling deeply inspired right now and I'm so excited for everything that I have to show all the fans and I'm deeply grateful for everybody's excitement in my creativity." Since then, the Grammy winner has teamed up with Bruno Mars to release the new single Die With a Smile. The song marked the first collaboration for the duo.
At the end of September, she surprised her fans with a Joker companion album, Harlequin. The LP incorporates music from the film and most of the tracks on the album are either jazz standards or covers from film and stage musicals such as The Roar of the Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd, Babes in Arms, Singin' in the Rain, and Sweet Charity. Two new songs- Folie à Deux and Happy Mistake- were written especially for the film and album.
