Lady Gaga has announced that the first single from her seventh studio album will drop in October.
The 38-year-old chart-topping star’s last album, Chromatica, was released in 2020, but fans won’t have too long to wait for new material.
The pop icon shared the news of a lead single via Instagram where she uploaded an image showing a piece of stationery from the Hotel Cipriani in Venice – where she has been attending the city’s film festival.
While the post itself had no caption, words on the paper revealed a rundown of engagements for the singer, with the list titled, “VFF Itinerary for Madame Lady Gaga.”
The list revealed the star would enjoy a “Warner Brothers welcome dinner” on Tuesday 3 September, attend the “World Premiere & Press conference” for Joker: Folie à Deux on Wednesday 4 September, and attend a press junket the following day.
However, other dates listed as “Important dates” drew the most attention as one noted October 4 for her Joker sequel to hit cinemas, while a second mystery date, listed only as “XX October”, declared, “LG7 first single” – teasing the lead single of her seventh album will be released next month.
The update comes soon after Gaga’s recent surprise release of single, Die With a Smile – a collaboration with Bruno Mars.
The duet itself has already been confirmed as a non-album release, as the singer revealed in a statement when the track was unleashed last month, “I was finishing up my own album in Malibu and one night after a long day (Bruno) asked me to come to his studio to hear something he was working on. It was around midnight when I got there and I was blown away when I heard what he had started making.”
