It has been three years, seven months and eight days since queen of the LGBT+ community Lady Gaga last blessed us with an album — and finally, we have entered the world of Chromatica.
That isn’t to say we’ve gone completely without music from the star since then – who could forget A Star Is Born – but this is her first album as a solo artist since 2016’s Joanne.
Chromatica, Lady Gaga’s long-awaited (and delayed) sixth album, includes duets with Ariana Grande, Elton John and BLACKPINK.
We were well and truly ready for Mother Monster to lift us into the stratosphere with a return to her trademark, infectious dance-pop – and it’s fair to say that fans are absolutely gagged now that it’s here.
The album release comes just a week after Lady Gaga released her Ariana Grande duet “Rain On Me”, completed with a dramatic and rain-filled music video.
She proceeded to drop her BLACKPINK duet “Sour Candy” Thursday (May 28) without any warning after a snippet of the song leaked online.
All of this came after Lady Gaga kicked off the Chromatica experience with the lead single “Stupid Love” in February.
In a recent interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music Beats 1, the “Shallow” hitmaker explained that she channelled her “extremely painful” past relationships into the new record.
“I’m making a dance record again and this
dance floor… it’s mine, I earned it, and all that stuff that I went
through,” she said.
“I don’t have to feel pain about it anymore, it can just be apart of me and I can keep going.”
She also took time out of her busy schedule to explain the title and artwork of her brand new album to Lowe.
“It’s about healing and it’s about bravery as well and it’s really like, when we talk about love I think it’s so important to include the fact that it requires a ton of bravery to love someone.”
