Lady Gaga posts mysterious countdown to her website

Pop star has been teasing new music in recent months. Lady Gaga has posted a mysterious countdown from her official website, teasing an announcement that looks set to be made at 4pm GMT on Monday 27 January. On her website, a rotating timer is shown against a hazy blue background. Clicking a “target” reveals the LG1 title in the signature font from her The Fame era.
In recent months, the US pop star has been teasing her long-awaited seventh album, which she has cited as LG7. She delighted fans in July last year when she played snippets of new music outside her hotel in Paris, shortly after performing at the Olympics opening ceremony.
Gaga’s next album will mark her first full-length solo release since 2020’s Chromatica, which featured the hit singles “Rain On Me” and “Stupid Love”. She released a new single, “Disease”, in October, which The Independent described as a “potent dose of dungeon-dark electro-pop”.
“This is the first glimpse of Gaga’s forthcoming seventh album and, if it’s anything to go by, the prognosis seems excellent,” the review said. “Ironically, it sounds like something Gaga could have written while shooting Folie à Deux: beneath the clink of chains and crackles of electricity beats a warped, fantastical heart.”.
Harlequin, the companion album to the Joker sequel – in which Gaga starred as Harley Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck – received mixed reviews from critics. “On Harlequin, the only cover that really seems to dial into the film’s twisted heart is a cover of Charlie Chaplin’s 1936 tune ‘Smile’, the title of which brings to mind Joker’s painted, psychopath’s grin,” The Independent’s album critic Helen Brown wrote in a three-star review.
