Lady Gaga’s new album Chromatica: what we can expect from the Shallow follow-up fans are calling #LG6
After country-flavoured Joanne and starring with Bradley Cooper in A Star is Born, fans are ready for a return to the Artpop, dance-floor filling days of Poker Face for Gaga’s hotly tipped 6th LP
Can you believe it's been well over three years since we've had a Lady Gaga album release? You'd be forgiven if you thought otherwise; it seems like the Mother Monster, as her fans affectionately call her, hasn't been out of the limelight since her fifth studio album release, “Joanne”, in October 2016.
Perhaps most memorably, the Italian-American performer showed off her acting chops in Bradley Cooper's Hollywood drama, A Star is Born, and won an Oscar for best original song last year, for the film’s global anthem Shallow.
Surprisingly not a publicity stunt, a viral YouTube video of a random commuter finishing the lyrics of Shallow on the London tube has catapulted the hit back to the charts in recent weeks.
Other memorable moments in the “album interim period” have included: Gaga serving searing looks at The Met Gala's “Camp” theme last year; the launch of her make-up brand Haus Laboratories in 2018; the Super Bowl halftime show in 2017; and the Netflix documentary released soon after, Gaga: Five Foot Two, where Gaga addressed Madonna, calling her “reductive”.
For the next few months, however, fans of the Poker Face singer will be anticipating her sixth studio album, rumoured to be released “early this year”. (Since we're already in March, there's not much of “early” 2020 left.)
