Lady Gaga's new album "Harlequin" to debut as Joker soundtrack
Lady Gaga has announced the premiere of her new album, "Harlequin." This will be her seventh studio record and also the soundtrack for the film "Joker: Folie à Deux," in which she stars alongside Joaquin Phoenix. The album will be released on September 27th and will contain 13 tracks.
Lady Gaga announced that the first single from her seventh studio album will be released next month. The artist worked on this project for several months, sharing studio sessions with her fans on Instagram. The album "Harlequin" will be the soundtrack for the film "Joker: Folie à Deux," in which Gaga stars alongside Joaquin Phoenix. The film will debut in cinemas on 4th October. The soundtrack will include new versions of classic songs, such as "That’s Entertainment," which will appear in the film. Gaga herself described the album this way: "I have written so many songs, and I have produced so many songs. It’s nothing like anything that I’ve ever made before."
Gaga has been teasing her fans in recent weeks by posting mysterious entries on Instagram. Billboards with the number "6.5" suggest that "Harlequin" is not considered a full-fledged seventh album by her, as opposed to the upcoming "LG7."
Earlier this year, Gaga unexpectedly released a single titled "Die with a Smile" in collaboration with Bruno Mars. According to Variety, this single will not be included in the latest album "LG7."
The new Joker
"Joker: Folie à Deux" is one of the most anticipated premieres of 2024.
In 2019, "Joker" left Venice with the Golden Lion, but the sequel returned to Hollywood empty-handed. The chilly reception at the festival caused US sales forecasts to plummet. Just a few days ago, it was estimated that the comic book production would earn between €116 million and €135 million in American cinemas during its opening weekend. Now, "Deadline" suggests that after the first three days of pre-sales, the opening might only reach €63 million, with production costs exceeding €180 million.
