Lady Gaga is gearing up for an exciting new chapter in her music career with the announcement of her upcoming seventh studio album, known as LG7, set to release in February 2025. In a recent cover story for Vogue, the pop icon shared her enthusiasm for returning to her pop roots, a journey encouraged by her fiancé, Michael Polansky. “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,’” Gaga revealed.
The anticipation for LG7 has been building since the release of its lead single, “Disease,” on October 25, 2024. This track marks Gaga’s first major solo release since her 2020 album Chromatica. Prior to LG7, she also released *Harlequin*, a companion album to her role in Joker: Folie à Deux, which she referred to as “LG6.5” and dropped on September 27.
In her Vogue interview, Gaga described LG7 as a “dark-pop record” that defies traditional genre boundaries. “The album is chaotic from a genre perspective — it is genre-bending,” she explained. The songs will reflect personal storytelling through “fantasies and escapes,” offering listeners a glimpse into her creative mind. “Each song is an exercise in personal chaos—a way to deal with myself,” she added, emphasizing that while the album explores intense themes, it remains fun and perfect for dancing.
The lead single “Disease” features lyrics like “I could play the doctor, I can cure your disease,” and showcases Gaga battling her inner demons. The accompanying music video, released shortly after the single, features striking visuals of Gaga being chased by a car while sporting a dramatic black hairstyle. She has also released two alternate versions of “Disease,” including a piano-led acoustic rendition and an electric guitar version, showcasing the song’s versatility.
While no official tour has been announced yet, Gaga’s headlining performance at Coachella 2025 is highly anticipated. With the album set for release just before the festival, fans are hopeful that a tour announcement will follow soon after.
As excitement builds around LG7, Gaga continues to push artistic boundaries and explore new sounds. Her commitment to innovation and personal expression ensures that this upcoming album will be a significant addition to her already impressive discography.
