LG7 release date speculation: Latest news on Lady Gaga's seventh album
The singer has posted a mysterious countdown on her website.
Following hot on the heels of Harlequin, Lady Gaga is expected to release a new album, under working title LG7, very soon.
The singer confirmed that the album, which is set to mark a return to pop music, is on the way last year at the end of the Gaga Chromatica Ball film premiere in Los Angeles, as a brand new song played over the words: "LG7. Gaga returns."
Gaga revealed details about the upcoming album during the event's Q&A, saying (via Rolling Stone): "I am in the studio every single day. I have written so many songs, I’ve been producing so many songs, and it’s nothing like anything that I’ve ever made before."
She continued: "I love to break genre, and I love to explore music. There’s something really beautiful about knowing that you will be loved no matter what you do."
The singer went on to add that the Chromatica Ball Tour of 2022 really set the tone for the artistic process for her new album.
"Something I’m definitely exploring right now is sort of the art of intensity, and I think that the art of intensity actually began during this tour," she explained. "But I’m not done with it yet."
Earlier in 2024, Gaga had fuelled rumours that new music was on the way when she posted a series of photos of herself in her recording studio on Instagram, captioning one "Tik tok tik tok".
So, when can fans expect the new album? Read on for everything we know.
LG7 release date speculation
Gaga recently told Vogue that the album will drop in February 2025, although an exact release date is yet to be announced.
However, it looks like we might know more very soon, if a mysterious countdown added to Gaga's website is anything to go by.
Gaga's website now features an abstract blue background and a countdown, which will end on Monday 27th January at 4pm GMT.
When you remove the background with the mouse, it reveals the text “LG7”, aka Lady Gaga’s seventh album, meaning we could be getting a release date on Monday.
What is the track list for LG7?
We have no idea what will be on the track list for the new album beyond Gaga's first single, Disease.
However, during the announcement of LG7 at the Gaga Chromatica Ball film premiere, the words of a brand new song could be heard, and the lyrics were: dance in the shadow of the night.
Meanwhile, in an interview with the LA Times, she confirmed Die with a Smile will be on the album: "It’s a huge part of my album. It was like this missing piece. The record is full of my love of music – so many different genres, so many different styles, so many different dreams. It leaps around genre in a way that’s almost corrupt. And it ends with love.
"That’s the answer to all the chaos in my life is that I find peace with love. Every song that I wrote, I just kept getting kind of swept away in these different dreams I was having about the past – almost like a recollection of all these bad decisions that I made in my life. But it ends in this very happy place."
Fans can now listen to the album's lead single, Disease, which Gaga dropped on 25th October 2024 (watch and listen below).
