Lady Gaga is one of the stars of the much anticipated sequel
to 2019 hit Joker, and the charismatic singer has a special something in
store for fans ahead of the movie. Gaga is all set to release her new album Harlequin,
designed as a companion to the upcoming movie Joker: Folie À Deux. In
the film directed by Todd Phillips, set for release on October 4, Gaga stars as
Lee Quinzel, better known as Harley Quinn, alongside Joaquin Phoenix’s
Joker.
Gaga’s Harlequin album, set to release on September
27, features 13 tracks including titles like Good Morning, World on a
String, and The Joker, blending her music with the dark, chaotic
world of the film. Over the past week, Gaga teased the album with cryptic
social media posts containing phrases like Moondust Gets Everywhere
and I’m Ready For My
Interview, hinting at the mood and themes fans can expect. The album
art, revealed recently, shows Gaga in an inflatable life vest under a shower
head, capturing the unsettling and theatrical vibe she’s known for.
While Harlequin serves as a direct tie-in to her
cinematic role, it is distinct from Gaga’s long-awaited seventh studio album,
often referred to as LG7, which she has been teasing separately on social
media. The first single from this other project is expected to drop in October,
just after the film and Harlequin album release. Known for her ability
to seamlessly merge her music and acting careers, Gaga has previously earned an
Oscar for her song Shallow from A Star is Born and received
nominations for her work on tracks for Top Gun: Maverick and The
Hunting Ground. The singer’s recent collaboration with Bruno Mars on Die
With a Smile only adds to the anticipation surrounding her musical ventures
this year.
