Woman Gaga, the legendary pop star enjoying iconic DC villain Harley Quinn within the upcoming film Joker: Folie à Deux, is releasing a tie-in album for the Joaquin Phoenix sequel. Contemplating the primary film was the type of movie that college-age (male) cinephiles tout as certainly one of their faves, and that opinions for the sequel (which can be a musical) have been less-than-stellar, I’m going to exit on a limb right here and say that Gaga’s upcoming album, titled Harlequin, would be the neatest thing to come back out of this film.
Woman Gaga had been teasing one thing on social media over the previous few days, sharing text-based photos on her Instagram account that learn “I’m prepared for my interview,” and “Don’t inform me what to put on” in scribbly font. The cryptic posts despatched the Little Monsters right into a frenzy, particularly since they’ve recognized the Oscar- and Grammy-winning performer not too long ago mentioned LG7 (or “Woman Gaga 7,” referring to her seventh studio album) wouldn’t be out till subsequent yr.
In the present day, September 24, she announed Harlequin, her seventh studio album (however possible not the one she was hinting will drop in 2025), which she’s calling a “companion album” to Joker: Folie à Deux. You may pre-order a digital copy or the very nice-looking vinyl right here.
From the tracklist, it seems the album can be a mixture of covers and authentic music. Test it out beneath:
1. Good Morning
2. Get Blissful
3. Oh, When The Saints
4. World On A String
5. If My Mates May See Me Now
6. That’s Leisure
7. Smile
8. The Joker
9. Folie à Deux
10. Gonna Construct A Mountain
11. Shut To You
12. Blissful Mistake
13. That’s Life
For instance, “World On A String” and “That’s Life” are references to/the precise names of iconic Frank Sinatra songs, “Oh When The Saints” is a shortening of the title of a Louis Armstrong tune, and “That’s Leisure” is the identify of a monitor written for the 1952 musical The Band Wagon. I’ve a sense lots of these songs are going to sound like showtunes, primarily based on the trailers we’ve seen for the upcoming movie, and Gaga’s penchant for old-school Hollywood songs and jazz (she’s executed two albums of covers with icon Tony Bennet).
I may take heed to Woman Gaga sing the rattling cellphone ebook, and mix that with the actually cool album artwork, which reveals her standing in a bathe, make-up working down her face, sporting a life vest, contemplate me sat. I don’t even have to see the film, I imagine within the empowerment of ladies, and I can be shopping for this album. Thanks, Mom Monster.
