Lady Gaga has appeared to have confirmed the title of her next album through clues hidden in her Spotify discography.
Following the release of her album ‘Harlequin’, a companion album to the movie Joker: Folie à Deux, Gaga has begun teasing a new era.
The artist’s streaming discography has been updated, with one track from each of her albums now being spelt in upper case letters, apart from one letter which is lower case. For example, ‘Dance In The Dark’ from her 2008 debut ‘The Fame’ is now spelt ‘dANCE IN THE DARK’.
All of the lower case letters seem to spell out the word ‘disease’, hinting at a potential album or single title.

Gaga’s next “pop” album, known as ‘LG7’, is expected to be released in February 2025. She had also confirmed that the lead single would be arriving this month.
Last month, she revealed that her next album will be nothing like her 2020 studio album ‘Chromatica‘, and will instead “feel unhinged”.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Gaga admitted that she wasn’t “even ready to talk about [the album] yet”, but promised to share more details soon. However, the New Yorker did reveal: “The pop album is nothing like ‘Chromatica. It’s a completely different record […] What I would say is, it’s all for me.
“It’s meant to be ingested as a time in my life,” she continued. “And I’m also really excited about this idea that I don’t have to adhere to an era if I don’t want to. I can have a few going at once. That feels unhinged [laughs] and more like me or Harley. Or whoever.”
In August, she shared the single ‘Die With A Smile’, a duet with Bruno Mars, but this is expected to be a standalone track that won’t appear on an album.
Gaga also sang in her role as Harleen “Lee” Quinzel in Joker: Folie à Deux. NME gave it a four-star review, saying that Gaga “shines in a provocative prison musical” and: “[director Todd] Phillips and [co-writer Scott] Silver have delivered the last thing anyone expected: a socially responsible Joker movie that finds an intriguing way to explore the consequences (both on and offscreen) of the first film. Joker fans shouldn’t cry too hard though – Warner Bros. have cleverly found a way to leave the door open a little for the franchise to continue, should the need arise.“
The film endured a tough opening weekend at the box office earlier this month, drawing approximately $40million (£30.5million) domestically, which was roughly half of the equivalent of its 2019 predecessor. The figure was also well short of Warner Bros.’ original projections of $70million, and the studio was reportedly “stunned and sorely disappointed” by the results.
As such, the film is reportedly coming to digital platforms as soon as the end of this month, significantly earlier than expected.
