Then Gaga confirmed the rumours in a series of Instagram posts where she was seen working over a piano with the caption: 'Tik tok tik tok' Next she dropped a major clue in her Gaga Chromatica Ball film premiere in LA, May 2024. And after a mega Olympics Opening Ceremony performance she treated her French fans to snippets of her upcoming album.

In 2024 she released the album 'Harlequin' and her single with Bruno Mars 'Die With A Smile' but she hasn't put out a pop album since 'Chromatica' in 2020 and this recent hiatus has her fans itching for new music.

Gaga has said: "The album started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved."

But it has been described as "far from a nostalgic throwback", as the album "reinvents [Gaga's] early sound with a kaleidoscopic approach that draws from her expansive musical library while embracing a fresh and fearless artistic perspective".

The 'Disease' singer has described her creative process as “reassembling a shattered mirror: even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can create something beautiful and whole in its own new way.”

It was like this missing piece. The record is full of my love of music — so many different genres, so many different styles, so many different dreams.

"It leaps around genre in a way that’s almost corrupt. And it ends with love. That’s the answer to all the chaos in my life is that I find peace with love.

"Every song that I wrote, I just kept getting kind of swept away in these different dreams I was having about the past — almost like a recollection of all these bad decisions that I made in my life. But it ends in this very happy place."

At the Gaga Chromatica Ball film premiere Gaga teased one song and its lyrics were: Dance in the shadow of the night

During her interview for her Vogue cover, Gaga did reveal some more about her upcoming music. One of the songs on her album was described as "intense and ominous—an old-school Gaga banger, unsettling but also buoyant".

She said the song was her fiancé's idea, explaining: “Michael is the person who told me to make a new pop record. He was like, ‘Babe. I love you. You need to make pop music.’ ”

Michael told Vogue: “Like anyone would do for the person they love, I encouraged her to lean in to the joy of it. On the Chromatica tour, I saw a fire in her; I wanted to help her keep that alive all the time and just start making music that made her happy.”
