Little or nothing is known about the direction LG7 will take – the tracks Gaga has chosen to perform publicly have not been named, but they all seem like industrial pop when viewed through an electronic, Gothic lens – although there are rumors that Gaga has entered the studio French alongside auteur Gesaffelstein as well as regular collaborator BloodPop.

This is such an exciting time to be a Gaga fan; He is currently flying high in the UK. Bruno Mars partnership Die smiling She plans to move up to No. 2 this week and challenges No. 1 with Taste of Sabrina Carpenter.

Lady Gaga’s Illness is now streaming on Interscope. LG7 comes out in February 2025.
