Lady Gaga has shared new information about her upcoming album Harlequin.
On 24 September, the pop icon broke the internet when she announced the forthcoming project.
Described as a “companion album” to the highly anticipated Joker: Folie À Deux, the record is set to feature 13 songs.
The tracklist is as follows: ‘Good Morning,’ ‘Get Happy (2024), ‘Oh, When the Saints, ‘World On A String,’ ‘If My Friends Could See Me Now,’ ‘That’s Entertainment,’ ‘Smile,’ ‘The Joker,’ ‘Folie à Deux,’ ‘Happy Mistake,’ and ‘That’s Life.’
Fortunately, Gaga has continued to treat fans with more Harlequin details ahead of the album’s 27 September release.
While attending the Joker 2 London premiere, the ‘Bad Romance‘ talent gave insight into her creative process for the record – also known as LG 6.5 – and why it was made as a companion album.
“You know, my experience with the character Lee [Quinzel] was really, really personal. And when we were making the movie, we were constantly discovering new things on set through dance, through costumes, through make-up, through the story,“ she explained.
“When we were done with the movie with the movie, I just wasn’t done with her. So, because I’m not done with her, I made Harlequin.”
Gaga also opened up about the record’s sound, teasing that it will feature “so many different genres.“

“It has original productions that are indicative of a complex woman that wants to be whoever she wants at any given moment, and that will not let anyone pin her down,“ the Grammy-winning talent continued. “And I was really honoured to produce it.”
In an additional interview with AP Entertainment, Gaga confirmed that Harlequin includes music from the film before dropping a cheeky tidbit about her upcoming LG7 era.
“Yeah, my studio album is coming out in February, and my first single’s coming out really soon, so I’m excited about that too,“ she exclaimed.
Gaga’s forthcoming albums – Harlequin and LG7 – come over four years after the release of her critically acclaimed record Chromatica.
It spawned three singles: ‘Stupid Love,’ ‘911’, and ‘Rain On Me’ (with Ariana Grande), the latter of which topped the charts in several countries, including the US and UK.
‘Rain On Me’ also won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, becoming Grande’s second and Gaga’s 12th win at the ceremony.
