Lady Gaga Teases New Single 'Disease' Ahead of Highly Anticipated LG7 Album Release in 2025
October 22, 2024Lady Gaga is gearing up to release her new single titled 'Disease' on October 25, 2024, marking the first official release from her upcoming seventh studio album.
This anticipated pop album, referred to as 'LG7', is set to debut in February 2025, with 'Disease' serving as the lead single.
Gaga recorded this album at Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La studio in Malibu, aiming to contrast its themes with her previous work, 'Chromatica', which reflected a darker period in her life.
In interviews, Gaga has expressed her excitement about the creative freedom she has to explore various musical eras in her new work, emphasizing that it reflects her personal experiences.
To promote 'Disease', Gaga has engaged fans with a scavenger hunt involving cryptic websites that reveal possible lyrics and clues about the song.
One of the promotional strategies included displaying the song's title backwards on a pre-save page, hinting at its identity.
The teaser for 'Disease' features ominous piano notes and a dramatic percussive ending, culminating in the announcement of the release date.
Despite the film's struggles, critics praised Gaga's performance, with NME giving the sequel a four-star review.
A 10-second teaser video shared on social media shows Gaga in a white dress, sprinting away from a car in a suburban setting, adding to the song's mysterious vibe.
Meanwhile, the film 'Joker: Folie à Deux', in which Gaga stars, has received negative reviews and is projected to incur significant box office losses.
Prior to this, Gaga surprise-launched her album 'Harlequin', which consists mainly of covers and a couple of original songs co-written with her fiancé, Michael Polansky.
Despite the underwhelming performance of 'Harlequin', which debuted at No. 20 on the Billboard 200, Gaga found commercial success with her duet 'Die With a Smile' featuring Bruno Mars.
