Lady Gaga is gearing up for a busy few months, balancing both music and film projects. On Tuesday (Sept. 3), the pop icon took to her X account to share a sneak peek at her upcoming schedule, offering fans insight into what’s ahead. In addition to promoting her latest single and preparing for the premiere of Joker: Folie à Deux, where she stars as Harley Quinn, Gaga also dropped a significant update for her fans eagerly awaiting her new music. According to the post, the first single from her long-anticipated seventh studio album, ‘LG7’, will be released in October.
The post laid out Gaga‘s itinerary for the coming weeks, including press tours and appearances for Joker: Folie à Deux, which premieres on October 4. But what grabbed the attention of her fanbase was the last line of the schedule: “XX October: ‘LG7’ first single.” While no specific date was revealed, this is the clearest confirmation yet that new music from Gaga is on the way, fueling excitement across her global fanbase.
This announcement follows several months of teases from Gaga regarding the new album. During the closing credits of her Gaga Chromatica Ball concert film, the words “’LG7′ GAGA RETURNS” appeared, signaling that she was already working on her next project. The buzz continued in July, when Gaga performed at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. After her performance, she treated fans waiting outside her hotel to snippets of two unreleased tracks, giving them a brief preview of her upcoming sound.
The first real taste of new music from ‘LG7’ came in August with the release of “Die With a Smile,” a collaboration between Gaga and Bruno Mars. The romantic track debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on August 31, marking Gaga’s highest-charting single since her 2020 collaboration with Ariana Grande, “Rain on Me,” which reached No. 1. This strong debut has only heightened the anticipation for the rest of the album.
While details about ‘LG7’ remain largely under wraps, the snippets and collaborations suggest that Gaga is exploring a wide range of styles, which has been a hallmark of her career. From her early days with dance-pop anthems to her more recent explorations of jazz, rock, and electronic music, Gaga has consistently shown an ability to adapt and reinvent herself, a trait that keeps her at the forefront of the music industry.
In addition to her new music, Gaga is also set to make a major return to the big screen with Joker: Folie à Deux, where she stars alongside Joaquin Phoenix in the highly anticipated sequel. Her portrayal of Harley Quinn is expected to be a key highlight of the film, and it will be the first time fans see her take on a major acting role since her Oscar-nominated performance in ‘A Star is Born‘.
With both a new album and a blockbuster film on the horizon, Gaga’s schedule is packed, but she continues to keep her fans engaged and excited. As October approaches, the anticipation for the first single from ‘LG7’ is reaching fever pitch, and all eyes are on the pop star as she prepares for the next chapter in her career. Whether through music or film, Lady Gaga remains one of the most dynamic and influential figures in entertainment today.
