Prior to her announcement, Gaga threw her little monsters in a frenzy on Instagram with a short snippet filmed at the Louvre from the upcoming ‘Harlequin’.
Billboards also appeared with the number ‘6.5’, denoting that this album is not considered a fully fledged Lady Gaga album, as opposed to LG7, according to Variety.
The Louvre’s official social media accounts even updated their profile pictures to celebrate Gaga’s announcement.
Starring alongside Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix – who recently made headlines for walking away from Todd Haynes’ new film about a gay romance in the 1930s – Lady Gaga is set to play ‘Lee’, a new take on iconic comic book character, Harley Quinn.
The film releases on October 4th.
Lady Gaga also confirms LG7, her 7th studio album
After previously teasing fans on TikTok, Gaga also confirmed that her seventh studio album LG7 is nearly ready and set to release in February, 2025.
The album will reportedly not feature her surprise hit single ‘Die With a Smile’ featuring Bruno Mars, which is currently dominating the charts and will serve as a standalone single according to Variety.
She has also confirmed the first single from LG7 will drop sometime soon in October – so lil monsters now have three upcoming albums (‘Harlequin’ ‘Joker 2 Soundtrack’ and LG7) from Gaga to look forward to.
